For anyone struggling to sleep during this heatwave, and stuck without adequate AC - try this: wet a t-shirt, hand towel or similar, wring most of the water out and lay it on your chest in bed.
That got me through many summer nights during my renting days.
Wet a hand towel and drape it around your neck and shoulders.

Wet face washer/towel, plus fan or a big piece of flat cardboard to emulate Nerfertiti being fanned by her harem. ✨✨✨
Large pet cooling mat. Get that under your torso
Damp facewasher between my wrists was a good one for me.
I used to wet a bandana and put it around my neck
a cool shower just before going to bed
One of my little fantasies is jumping in a road ragers abandoned car and driving off with it.
Had the sprinklers going yesterday evening and the whole family was outside playing and spraying each other.
Felt really wholesome and a little white trash (in the best way possible).
Gosh that brings back memories (I say as white trash). Glad you and the family enjoyed it!
My Spotify has delivered me Dead Can Dance for work today. I did not ask for this, but am okay with it
It’s been a rough week of being let down by people, so to cheer myself up I signed back up to HBO for a month. I’d stopped all subscriptions a while back cos of cost. Absolutely stoked to find Common Side Effects has finally been added! Been so keen to watch it after Scavengers Reign.
hugs
Thank you .^ - ^.
Sometimes it really is about whatever gets you through!! Enjoy!!
Absolutely. Sometimes a break from reality is nice.
I have a workforce appointment tomorrow at 3pm, which BoM says will be 41°C.
The tram better have their aircon working.
I’d do my best to reschedule that.
I should, but I want to get them to pay for some work clothes 😂 I can get them from target or Kmart and have a limit of like $150. If they’re gonna make me work in a call centre again, they can pay for my clothes and deal with my sweaty self 😂
🤢🤢🤢
Going to Japan, any requests? 🍡🍜🍣🍵🌸
Keep an eye on the gutters in the streets - apparently some of them have populations of live koi living in them to eat up all the grot & algae etc.
!!
Gyoza…
All. of. them.
Have a great trip!
You know it! Thanks :) will eat some gyoza for you
The most unusual Kit Kat flavour you can find!

Clutching onto my passport for dear life #relaxingholiday #winning

I’ll see what I can do

Please get a famichiki and stuff it into an egg sando for me, please. I’m sad I didn’t think to try that last trip.
Also, please enjoy every moment. And try allllll of the ramen! I can’t wait to hear about your adventures!
Yessir
Piping hot tonkatsu ramen ordered through a vending machine please
The most ludicrous Hello Kitty object you can find
Have a great time :)
Thanks mate!
Oh oh oh and look out for the ink stamps you can get from various places like stations and tourist places like Shibuya Sky etc!
Yes, one of the first things I’m going to do is get a goshuincho!!
I’m sure you’re aware, but it’s considered respectful to keep your goshuincho for temples and shrines, and use another book for regular tourist stamps. I can’t wait to see what you get!
Please sample at least 4 different varieties of noodly dishes for me
Bleh.
Seconded.
heat saps will to live
Agreed.
This dream brought to you by having cheese for dinner and reading about a WoW event happening in Fed Square later this month.
spoiler
Had a dream that I went to a wedding that was Wizard of Oz themed, but next to a WoW raid similar to Karazhan and you could go into rooms and kills mobs like The Wizard and then use a dragon mod to pose for photo ops. The wedding was loads of fun until someone decided to give my table a champagne shower… but with red wine. Lots of mad people. My aunty and sister were both there and we were just laughing how funny it all was.
Wow event at Fed Square? Please, elaborate!
Man these last few days of leave suck ass.
Yesterday was bullshit.
Today the neighbour is building a fence.
Tomorrow is bullshit.
Eh.
I don’t think the ‘leave early’ messaging from the fire services is really getting through. People seem to interpret it more as ‘wait around at home watching until the fire is at your doorstep, then start packing things into your car to leave at the most dangerous possible time’. I don’t understand. Am I reading different material to everyone else? Are you guys seeing the ‘leave early’ messages or ‘wait until you are on fire’ messages?
I mean I have the Vic emergency app and listen to ABC Radio so it seems pretty clear. But I dunno…I know a few people who really should be across it (i.e. in catastrophic fire areas) that just didnt seem to know? One older mate in particular that really should know better. But I grew up with cyclones and some people just never cared then - couldn’t wait till go sightseeing through floodwaters. So just how it is I guess?
The Darwin Awards exist for a reason I reckon.
I’ve been watching today and been wondering about you and your colleagues. It must be extra shit for you to see people do the whole “Yeah, nah” until it’s too late and then panic. On the flip side, know there are people 70km+ away who have their bags packed and plans ready for action!
My mother is a “wait until it’s too late person” and I’ve flat out told her she’s choosing to die - it still doesn’t matter. Like newly licensed drivers who think they’re invincible until it happens to them.
Got some fiery mates who were telling me about where they can be allocated to if needed and learned some cool facts about the Langy station!
I’ve been testing a theory at work for running ads I’ve dubbed ‘UNCposting’ where I’ve taken dodgy photos the territory managers have taken and made them look like Facebook marketplace listings.
One ad in particular has gotten over 6,000 clicks since Christmas so I turned it into a lead collection ad and received 5 leads today alone
Happy cake day!!! So glad you’re here!
That’s really clever man!
I have one ad set that’s like the ‘ad thunderdome’ where I just put a bunch of things. Then the winners can be upgraded to more hands on lead ads because I know the creative works
Happy cake day 🎂
So it is. What an interesting time to be my cake day
Whoopsie doodle. Didn’t put a shade cloth over the tomatoes yesterday.
Didn’t end well.
Sun-dried tomatoes?
Well… by dinner time they’ll already be cooked
Oh to be a cat in a box sleeping all day
She is way too precious. I’m so glad she has you!
That’s very kind of you ❤️
She’s been an absolute ray of sunshine, despite the chaos lol
How many layers of padding in the box? Our princess and the pea chair has 2 cushions and 4 blankets. Little miss thinks thats a perfect amount of padding.
The bottom 2 layers are books and the rest are a mix of cushions, pillows and a brand new doona cover that I didn’t end up using.
I made it all nice and neat one day and came back to how it looks in the photo lol
evening beach picture, the sea breeze has been very refreshing
