Kingston would be my first pick. Delta Cream / Jaffa Cream last, if I want chocolate biscuits I’ll buy Oreo.

Rudely awoken this morning by neighbour cutting tiles on their front lawn. Seriously can’t they give it a rest with the renovations on a Saturday? I really wanted a sleep in.

Still managed a gym session but I had shower scrubbing on the cards today and need to motivate myself to do it.

Electric heat pump unit. My usage went from $$$ (old gas guzzling unit) to peanuts. Pays itself off very quickly and there was a government rebate for switching.

Have a look at BankWest’s everyday account. They have no foreign transaction fees, free ATM withdrawals (excluding ATM operator fees) and importantly, no minimum deposit or use requirements to activate these benefits. With ING, last I looked, you need to jump certain hurdles to get the foreign use benefits.

Macquarie’s everyday account may have the same benefits as BankWest, double check this because then you don’t need to open a new account.

I also take a credit card as a backup and I use it for any hotel or car rental security deposits that get refunded - look at Latitude 28 Degrees. No foreign transaction fees again.

So many responsible bed times then there’s me still up and wired.

Phone and keys mainly, a Myki card and headphones if I’m using PT. If I’ve got a shoulder bag with me, might have my wallet, gum, tissues, a snack.

Have a potluck dinner tomorrow and put my hand up for making dessert. It’s an hour door-to-door travel and I was going to make tiramisu but was worried it might go bad out of the fridge for that long. So I’m going to make this tomorrow morning. It looks good and will transport well, hopefully it’s a hit.

Anyone got any office chair recommendations? Time for an upgrade with EOFY sales. Not looking to spend crazy money. My current chair is a cheapie from Officeworks which has served me well during the COVID years, but starting to get worn down and uncomfortable.

Sunset in northern Europe (London etc) during their winter solstice is like 4pm. Now that’s depressing for living in a major city, don’t think I could handle that.

Happy birthday!

Something strange just happened. From the corner of my eye while watching TV I saw a flash in the sky. Thought it was lightning. About 20 seconds later all of my house lights quickly flashed off and on.

Looking at the radar there’s no thunderstorms around. So what was that? 👽

They’ve been moved on my view (using Safari browser). Now next to post timestamp.

Massive day playing a tournament for my social sports league. Someone in my team (who I hadn’t played with before) was so full on, correcting people on their technique when they were not playing flash themselves. Of course I want to do well but I’m there playing mainly for fun and this person was a huge negative presence. As soon as anyone made a mistake she was in their grill with her criticism. Super draining and not the only one who felt that way. If you’re going to take the role of the experienced know it all, then make sure you can talk the talk.

Then we went out after with all the teams for some drinks. Some very icy vibes thrown my way, probably because I started to get frustrated with their behaviour and it may have came out in my tone of voice during game play. Oh well. On my way home and ready for bed.

Sometimes I read back on a professional email I’ve sent and think - wow I actually sound like I know what I’m talking about. Get me on the phone though and I become a mumbling mess sometimes.

I enjoy her music, Good Luck Babe has been on repeat lately. The power of music to help us through tough times.

Feel like I’m tired all the time lately. I think it’s the short days, and I didn’t go outdoors today which doesn’t help. Body says it’s time to hibernate.

I visited the museum last year. There were people in tears after going through the main section. There’s really no sugar coating that very dark part of history, so impactful.

When you come into the light and massive windows overlooking the peace park after the main section, it’s a nice snap back into the somewhat peaceful present.

Been getting outdoors as much as possible lately. The sun has been glorious. No seasonal depression to speak of, but it’s going to arrive like a ton of bricks on the weekend.
