  • We made it through the night… it was touch and go… at one point our frenchie farted and it was so sweet I had to give our eldest dog an extra shot of insulin…

    It was also scattered thunderstorms yesterday but there was a 30 minute window where I thought, alright, let’s do it, let’s go for a w-a-l-k, put my utility belt on, strapped them all to me. 3 minutes in, crack of thunder and torrential rain. We all came home soaked smelling like wet dog. Couldn’t be arsed bathing them, so that’s what my bed smells like now. Mostly my side, turns out without the wifey they are happy to sleep on my side.

    The internet has been out for 3 days now, off and on with the provider troubleshooting. The dishwasher made some close encounter of the third kind beeping noises in the middle of the night, not sure what that’s about. And somehow my work has me dialling into a meeting today on my time off…

    All in all, 2/10, not letting the wife leave the house without us again.














  • Car to station, then trains. Occasional bus depending on what the wife is up to (needing the car). To be honest, they did have those buses running when there weren’t the passengers, those early days were nice!

    It’s a fair bit better now on all those fronts. There’s also an inordinate amount of early learning/child care out here lol. They want us doing nothing but eating burgers, shopping and rootin’. Apparently we need to send the kids into the CBD as soon as they hit high school age, must be the plan to fix the economy 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Edit — those early days were painful if you had to use buses. I didn’t mean to downplay that. They were quiet though if you did walk and wait to get on one
