Nicest thing about weather like this is the fact that dickheads in their fart-ripping shitboxxen aren't out and about making everyone else suffer for their insecurities. Usually it's wall to wall look at me, ma! on a sat night.

When I was in Adelaide in March we went to dinner at some rooftop burger place on Friday night. There was a dude in one of those cars without a lid that makes far too much noise blasting music driving around the block and revving at the lights (we were on a corner). It was so weird. I don't understand what makes people just do loops of the block for hours on end... Who can even afford that much petrol!

Miserable weather today. The car was getting very low on fuel but I didn't really want to stop. I'd seen petrol this morning at 193c so made a bargain with myself that I would stop if it was below 190, but otherwise I would put it off. Damn petrol station had 187c. I was very affronted by its refusal to cooperate in my attempt to avoid stopping so decided to make a stand and refuse to fill up at such a rude and uncooperative petrol station. Home has now been successfully achieved and petrol can wait for another day.

I have been earwormed by Mr Squiggle. This is not in fact lots of fun for everyone.

I haven't even got out of mine. Put a bra on, yes. But the child's clothes are sorted and 3 bags of outgrown clothes are ready for the OP shop.

Had a productive day: caught up with the real estate agents who sold me this place and checked out a place that had been suggested but came onto the market too late to suit. (This one is definitely better.) Then started tackling the boxes of kitchen stuff that are still unpacked as well as reorganising the kitchen. Then felt like a break and a bahn mi so I got that via another OFI in the block of units where I made my first offer and got pipped at the post. And had no trouble walking at a medium pace three times for about 15 minutes, so yay!
