So the final offer came through for the house and I've accepted.
Let's just say it was more than the 'I'll be jumping around hosing champagne if I get this' amount. And off market to boot so no marketing fees.
Thanks to all of you who crossed digits for me. 😁

So it turns out if you actually clean your vacuum cleaner properly it performs WAY better. Who'da thunk it? I had to pull it apart because it was saying airways blocked yesterday, which is apparently the level of cleaning I'm meant to be doing on this thing regularly anyway so I learned that too.

Also I just learned yesterday that you're meant to replace the HEPA filters on Dyson stick vacuums once a year so I bought 2 aftermarket filters which arrive today. I've cleaned the existing one a few times, yesterday giving it a more thorough cleaning which was the cause of the "airways blocked" message, but apparently replacing them will make the vacuum perform even better.

It's actually crazy how much dust/dirt this thing lifts off what I thought were pretty clean carpets. It must have been doing a pretty piss-poor job before I cleaned it.

Agent has received an offer and is negotiating.
Cross fingers for me?

Good morning! I'm in a lot with 40 units and our place is the only one that gets stupid pigeons early morning 😫 might have to get an owl, and not a fake one haha

Morning everyone

I'm such a dumbass. Had a meeting in the office yesterday at 10. We all went around introducing ourselves. I tell them who I am, my role and background. Guy says "Nice to meet you!" and I said "Thank you!! 😄" realising after three minutes, I cringed so hard after that. To be fair I hadn't had my coffee nor my breakfast but still embarassing 😭😭😂

I feel very vindicated.

Power goes out about almost an hour ago, except for some lights and stuff, very weird. So we're going through the motions of flicking the power switch at the side of the house and everything, and afterwards Mum tells us we need to turn everything off at the power point, and so everything is slowly working but my stuff. Mum comes in and sees my cords and then starts to say that the reason why everything went out might be because of me. I get annoyed and defensive because she instantly tells me that it could be my fault, and she then gets snarky and annoyed when I tell her that it can't just be me and she says she's not accusing me. Even though she never said this to my sister and only said this after she saw my stuff and went "Jesus Christ!".

Anyways everything starts turning on again, awesome great, lights are working. Mum goes back to bed and turns on one of the power points in her room and guess what happens... everything goes out again. We find the culprit and its one of mum's sockets/power points that is causing the issue. So fuck me right?

Yay, someone is grabbing the old stumps I put out for hard rubbish - I was starting to think I would need to make a Marketplace listing! Good old Redgum in those things.

It's quite humid outside.

Still no word but I put together the new futon couches.
I think it's safe to say Zooki is a fan.

The young Seagoons have settled in and Bill and Ted have become friends. :)

I am going for a long drive to lunch today and realised I need to get petrol. I just checked the prices and they look to be at a low point at the moment, how did I luck into that? I've avoided looking at prices while I've been on leave for a couple of weeks, I was expecting prices over $2.

Lawn guy was going to come around between 9 and 10to help me get the couches out and on the nature strip, but when he hadn't shown by 9:15 ish I got twitchy and decided to have a go myself.
To cut a long story short, I got both of the couches out and on the nature strip and the second one on top of the first thanks to a helpful passerby. Phoned the guy to tell him I sorted it but thanks anyway and he said "Oh I was just about to come around." 😂 Anyway that's done and I'm now flopped on the bed with the cats having a breather before I tackle putting the new futon couches together. fans self

My dryer appears to be fucked. This is problematic

I did not authorize this mugginess.

sky pretty

Just tried out the new HEPA filter on the vacuum. Works reeeal nice. Feels weird throwing what seems to be a significant part of the vacuum cleaner in the bin but it is what it is.

Window cleaning tips specific to the fea? I seem to have a drunk flying fairy problem.

That pizza must have been salty. Feel like I can't drink enough water.

I just saw West Coast Coolers in the fridge at Liquor Land…

Hehe.

Just saw this new song pop up on YouTube from Tim Minchin and it managed to hit me in the feels. Fun fact: something I did made Tim laugh once!

Play It Safe

the symbolism in our flag means death is gonna make me bite my goddamn keyboard in half i s2g. If you're a fan, go back and rewatch s1 there's so much more colouration to it after events in s2.

The concert apparently started 20 minutes ago but I haven't heard peep from the stadium yet. No music. No cheers. Nada.

I might go for a walk and make sure they're alive in there.

Edit: scootered past and heard signs of life. Not quite the bass thumping sounds of some other artists, but the demographic would probably complain if it was.

What to doooo for the rest of the day/night... driving anywhere is out of the question if I intend to come home before probably midnight. Paul McCartney is playing at the stadium tonight so driving back here will be problematic, knowing from experience.

Thinking about what to have for dinner tonight.

Maybe I’ll make a few days worth of pasta sauce and throw in a lot of tuna into the mix.

Still debating over it though.
