Old man changed the aircon remote language to polish somehow. So, had a crash 2min course in polish and now I'm fluent and can fix all your accidental language changes from polish to english. But seriously, that is a severely difficult language.

Flat didn't drop in temperature overnight. Pray for me.

Have made a gingerbread dough and it's chilling in the fridge. Miniest made me do it 🫡 I'm sure she likes to eat the dough as much as the finished gingerbread, it smells like Christmas. I just realised I don't have a gingerbread emoji, so 🫚🍞

Not hungry this morning. Have made a large jug of peppermint tea which is currently cooling on the countertop prior to being put in fridge. Some essential shopping only this morning, then I'm going to sleep the day away. Punctuated by peppermint tea over ice. Cool change is due fairly late tonight so not looking forward to this afternoon.

Today is an inside day. Going out for some drinks when it cools down, but otherwise, just going to chill/zonk out 😎

Paws out means "I'm not moving" lol

Walking in the drizzle listening to music is one of my favourite activities. Fuck yeah.

Edit: Tonight was a good night. Have been feeling extra isolated lately. Saw some friends and just had dinner and chatted. Grateful they came to hang out.

Can't wait to move closer to civilisation.

Not so bad outside as it's overcast rather than skin-peelingly burning hot. Wait for blood test took an hour but at least it was air conditioned inside so I caught up on my crosswords. Grabbed some Argentinean empanadas for lunch on a whim (yum!!!), and a late coffee... Apt has stayed pretty nice and cool so far. I've been running the extractor fan in the bathroom which I think is kinda sorta helping to suck cool air in from the lounge via the bedroom?

Cringing a bit at how much drying I'll need to do at the laundromat. I've put the towels to air dry a bit in the bathroom until I'm ready to go so there's less paid drying involved. So dumb to have to use a dryer on a day like today. I won't be here long enough to warrant buying a dryer for the unit, either... once I've opened up more space here I'll look into some strategic clothes horse positions for drying work clothes and the like.

I will say there is something about living within walking distance to SO much stuff and activity (but not having to hear most of it at home). It's like being on holiday in a downtown airbnb.

I thought I was being responsible when I decided that 5 hours sleep was enough and I should get my lazy ass out of bed.

Bup bow.

Edit: about to kick off nap #3

No man in banh mi shop line, standing super close behind me will not get you served faster.

Great. That’s all I need.

I think the split system using AC is leaking into the roof and wet spots and stuff have appeared.

Only noticed it today.

No proof that it the AC but I can’t think of any recent rain that could have caused it.

Dammit :(

weather is body temperature, plus fan forced eh? alrighty heading out now let's do this

dinner has been cooked and eat. I had a shake and one thai small chicken skewer with onion and capsicum, no sauce on it.

There is also pineapple fried rice.

num, skewers

spoiler

I rilly want to eat some more

We are so hot 🥵

Far too hot.

There is also about a 50% chance that the air conditioning at work will end up being too cold at some point today, so I have brought in my cardigan.

That cool change is 💯

Big breakfast devoured. Now I don't need to leave my apartment again today

I can’t decide what movie to put on

27C inside is a perfectly fine temperature, Tropical Meat thinks.

I’ve hurt my foot. Not sure yet how bad it is but it was a decent one

pounds fist WHAR RAIN

Still waiting for the rain here.....come on sky gods.....let me have it!

Out and about. Took some serious self-convincing. Overcast, but still feels like burning face off weather.

So many of my favourite chicken sandwiches available I have no appetite for it. Also, weirdo I am I still have hot coffee in this weather… Somehow I have received an iced one. I must look like I need it.

Good ocean swim. Needed that.

Hired a goget car to do Saturday stuffs. Now waiting for train. It's hawt.

Lost another Wicket.

This could be over by tomorrow afternoon.

Also we’re not even halfway to India’s score.
