Nath sorted out my account for me, so I guess I’m OG Baku again
Yay!
Glad to have you back.
Hooli dooli! Hi Baku! Nice to see you again!
G’day Gorgritch! How’s things?
Great! Been missing the rail posts on here though! :)
Goodnight all ❤️
Good night sleepy heads 😘
✅ Final clean
✅ Photos taken and sent
✅ Keys returned
✅ LL emailed
✅ Bond return initiated
✅ Picked up a week’s worth of food from Fairfeed
Goodbye old house and old life!!! Onto the transitory period before the next big thing… interestingly just yesterday I hear from my cousin in regional Vic that they’re seriously considering moving (back) to WA…
E: I also wish to mention that my fingerprints aren’t working so well on my phones. Must’ve been cleaning too hard lol.
I loath going back to an empty place for the final clean. It’s an emotional kick especially when you got the place in a worse condition.
I can totally see why people just get bond cleaners to do the job. By that stage of the move you’re already exhausted and cranky. If you had to leave because you didn’t want to it’s easy to feel resentful when cleaning. I’m so glad it’s over. I never want to think about that place again now
I do too, but I want my own photographs. Not trusting any company cleaner to match to intake ones properly.
Oh wait so these bond cleaners do the photos as well? I figured I’d still take my own photos anyway after they’re done.
I’ll keep that in mind from when I move out of my current place…
Nice! Where are you moving to, if I may ask?
Have moved to a tiny musty old bachelor pad of depression in Richmond. It’s just a short term lease, hoping to gtfo as soon as uni is done. Possibly out of Melbourne or even Victoria. Definitely not inner city
Ooh, any ideas where you’re headed? Kinda can’t wait to join you, although I’m thinking more Europe than another state 😅

(Because I’ve been out of the loop/thread for much of the week and didn’t realise you were back…)
BAKKKKKUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! Welcome back!! 🎉🎉🎉
Also trains are awesome, but that’s just common knowledge :)
G’day Gregsy! How’s it all going?
Last day of leave :(
Buuuuut, only 4 weeks till another 3 weeks of leave!
god is it only 4 weeks till Christmas?
5 Weeks
i think i am in a long distance situationship and that is exactly right at this point of my life
Long-distanceship!!! 💜💜💜 Yaaaaaaasss girl!!!
❤️
so long as the long distance isn’t so long that you cant occasionally get into situational activities with them, sure! Edit: everyone deserves a good activity ever now and then.
We will be in nearby universes that makes activities possible
Can’t claim sewing course is going well. Nobody is horrid, but I’m highly dubious my result will fit, and can really do without the graphic prego stories!
Opposite result of hoped for really.
Well let me tell you about my prego story…
Nah I’m more interested in what you’re learning there?
New firmware update for the pedal board!!!
5 new amp models and 4 of them are HIGH GAIIIIIN!!!
OK I’m all good now lol
I got that email as well. I’ll have to plug it into the computer when I get home
You have one?!?!?! Duuuuuuuuude!
I need to use it more but I am a proud helix owner
I have received some chocolates 🥰
They look a bit fancy!
They taste amazing!
Front middle one looks like a Phoenix egg. Make an omelette.
😂
Jelly!
Two members of my household tested positive for COVID today and I have symptoms but tested negative. Time to sit and watch some movies for the rest of the week maybe.
Movie recommendations please!
Yep, it’s definitely going around again.
If you enjoy action thrillers, try Predestination with Ethan Hawk.
OMG, such a good film. Also brain: 🤯.

The real problem imo is that the rich and shameless and/or powerful are stuck in an exploitative 19th century mindset, while the real world has moved on. Have you read Jared Diamond’s masterful depiction in Collapse - How Societies Choose to Survive or Choose to Fail? I found that book mindblowing. Also Tim Flannery’s The Future Eaters, which I regard as essential reading for anyone living in Australia rn. Some of the science is dated, but imo still valid in essence. And both authors are right on the money when it comes to how humans react to social stressors.
I hung out with Tim and his wife for a week in the far north of WA many years ago. They’re really cool and smart people. Bit of a secret: Tim is the famous one, but Alex is probably the smarter and cooler of the two. Shh! 😃
Jelly! That would have been fabulous! Tim has been one of my heroes for some time - glad to know Alex is up to his weight and then some.

Ponzi scheme
It’s not just money, there are too people who don’t care so much about getting money as making other people suffer.
I don’t know what we can do about that other than have safety nets.

said it before and I’m sure I will say it again: Boys highschool sex ed should be bringing in a new dad whos got a kid in daycare and ask them “how many times you been sick this year?”. You’d scare the crap out of them.
Giving them a toddler to care for for a day would also work
1 toddler per teenager, that is
thats the issue though. When they are cute (which lets be honest, is a LOT of the time) youd fall in love.
Its win-win…
Some would be more careful with contraception while others might be better and more enthusiastic parents when the time comes 👍🏼
I’d like to be one of those people who feels compelled to buy a book every time they go into a book store, but they’re like $20 for even a basic paperback. I don’t want to drop that much every time I go look at books
They’re free at the library :)
I get them there when I can but I’m too slow a reader at the moment to not need a couple of renewals to get through a book
i usually prefer ebooks, cheaper and doesn’t take up space
And I can read them in the dark easier. The kids still sleep in our room so I can’t really use a light for regular books
I used to do that but the cost of books now are pretty high so I’ve stopped buying them.
Depending on how voracious a reader you are, Kindle Unlimited may be worth investigating. I go through about 4 books a week, so the service ($14/mo) must have saved me about $1,000 by now.
Unfortunately I don’t read as much as I’d like, which is part of it. I get my ebooks from ‘other’ parts of the internet and that’s what I went to check.
I’m reading The Crying Lot of 49 and my version has some weird formatting. I wanted to check if it was just an eBook thing or a deliberate stylistic choice. Turns out it was just a weird eBook formatting thing
Always check Big W first.
I used to work at a big w and when they have a book it’s always cheap. Especially kid’s books. I feel bad for independent toy stores because it’s so hard to compete with the big department stores there
Hard day at work today. I’m seriously considering making golden syrup pudding for dinner.
Huge pot of chicken broth on the go. Probably last chance before weather makes this unfeasible, and I need dumplings.
I need some of that broth. I’m feeling wiped and horrible at the moment.
Head feels like it’s been full of cotton all day.
🤤 that looks so delicious.
I made do with chicken and pasta and a cup of soup of cream of chicken.
Cup soup is often a saviour. Be well 🖤
I still can’t tell if it’s hayfever or a cold or something.
Well steaming your head will be useful in either case.
Naaw. It’d telepath you a bowl if I could.
