Melbourne

Housemate and I are on the house hunt and we found this lovely house in a place we love, and in very fine print it says you aren't allowed to use the carport/granny flat or the shed...

Why the fuck would I pay to use half the house/property, you've got to be fucking joking. What's more is I don't want to run into someone in the backyard every other day while I'm paying probably triple their rent. I don't know maybe I'm being unreasonable, but it just seems ridiculous that you pay all this money to basically have a room mate you don't even get to pick.

I've got a shoulder injury from tennis. I've watched far too much for my body to handle.

I'm back from Isle of Tasmania

nice little ride on the foreshore beach path at pt. lonsdale to the shops.

I usually avoid it this time of year as you have kids running randomly and people walking aimlessly in the middle of the path. But thanks to a young fam riding ahead of me they paved the way doing all the dinging work. They were relentless. Just bulldozed that path no one stood a chance.

Edit:

And a little vid of the resident maggie:

She only sings occasionally for me so I have to try and sweet-talk her into it.

Went to the tennis tonight. $$ ticket for seeing a couple one sided matches. Just the luck of the draw sometimes but still. Food and drinks were massively overpriced, super crowded and pretty messy in areas. Hate it when you spend a lot of money for a second rate experience.

8 hours of pointing were done.

Could the lawn PLEASE stop growing?! It’s friggin insane!!!!

Jasper coffee is nice but at 6 dollars for a medium cap one could be forgiven I was at the airport!

It's all getting a bit much now. Definitely would not get coffee from here regularly.

I think pizza is on the menu this eve.

Also day written off to bad bad headache. Any headache sufferers find heaches getting worse? It’s now like getting death hangovers without the alcohol. (Luckily it’s not all the time and I know some of my contributors, but hell…)

Went to Highpoint with the Minis for a free Bluey show. The kids were keen to go but I think it was one of those times when they realised they're getting older. Managed to get school shoes for the Elder and the kids scored a free ball each. Ate at Schnitz and San Churro (kids choice). Am well tired.

Long slow day at work today. Counting down the minutes until freedom.

I've been playing Spider-Man 2 a lot this weekend and it is absolutely amazing (pun intended). Spider-Man 1 and the Miles Morales game were awesome but this has taken them to an entirely new level. I haven't read any spoilers on the main story so it keeps continuing to surprise and thrill me.

I love the Batman Arkham games and I've been desperately wanting more. This game has possibly surpassed them. Absolutely loving it.

I'm taking a break to pretend to be a human being for a little bit. Just wow.

When you're five mins into google support and they tell you email addresses are case sensitive

My insanity has been confirmed, but pleased so far.

I keep thinking why do I feel sleepy tonight. Then I realize it feels cooler tonight than it has for a long time. I'm looking forward to a nice sleep tonight.

Went to the gym after a month. Treating myself to a pizza for my hard work and efforts. 💪

I've slobbed around enough. Been in bed from 9 to 4 some days after sleeping the whole night through. Tomorrow, Monday, I'm going to reply to some overdue emails and get my life moving... spent enough time consuming media and reading crazy subreddits. I have rested and recovered enough now, from the work burnout. I believe it's possible to find something that gives me flexibility and the chance to do something new with my life, at least for this year.
