Pre-inspection rental application completed. I'm really missing the days when you would go to the real estate agent, grab the keys for anything you were interested in to go and have a look, and if you liked it you just showed some basic id & proof of income and the place was yours.

Omg same. It's awful the hoops you've got to jump through now!
no hoops for landlords or REAs tho, none at all
I'm afraid you're quickly learning how dramatically different it is to 20 years ago. Welcome to what many of us younger ones are dealing with ๐ญ

Ol' boy finally found the piccys from a school trip we did to nepal back in 1999 (I was yr 9 at the time). 200 kids, bunch of teachers, 4 docs who were parents of kids (and went for free lol). And a fuckton of risk, they stopped the trip a year after that as a few kids ran into health troubles. Cheap as shit due to bulk kids.
Was before digital cams so pretty much only the adults had proper cameras. ol' boy had a nice one and got heaps of shots. They're all on slides and negatives.
Looks awful for now until I get them properly imaged but fuck me the memories.
Over easter doing a slide show on an old school slide projector from the 70's that still works down the bellarine w/ the fam. Gonna be lit lol.
That's calendar worthy. So pretty.
Everything sounds awesome, the trip, the pics, and your slide show evening ๐

Goodnight all โค๏ธ
Parma for dinner. Tomorrow nights probs loaded potato wedges that I stole the idea from Aldi. need to get back into miss match meals to use whats in the freezer.
Iโm craving fried potato :(
I didn't realise I had the same bug as the rest of the family until I finished my coffee in the office. I managed to get home alright without any problems. Another plus to the location of this place, the last thing you'd want is an hour long train trip after realising you're sick

Spent most of today learning how to navigate my new org's SharePoint structure. Nearly 4 years in the same place and shit was embedded in my memory and almost automatic.
I feel like an infant learning how to crawl again.

sky pretty
it's been lovely ๐
Eee yaks
So the one thing yaks don't care about is everything. You get out of the way, they won't.
If you could afford to employ one full time staffers who would it be? Gardener, pool boy, administrator, butler etc.
Personal Polynesian. Just a massive dude that hangs out and occasionally helps out with things.
Japanese house boy. No contest.
A cleaner, absolutely hands down. Especially the bathroom. Everything else I can somehow handle but the #1 very first kind of help I would get if I had money is a cleaner. Then maybe an admin person (even just to make phone calls, I hate phone calls). Then maaaaybe a cook but I would be very very picky about what they make and how.

I reckon a chef (who also cleans the kitchen once they're done for the day). Delicious meals prepared for me and time saved cooking / cleaning up afterwards would transform my life.
Cat trainer lol
full time cleaner and laundry , including cat care
Housekeeper. No contest.
Hired goon
I think Seagoon might be a bit busy unpacking still
still unpacking ๐ซ
Haha. Let me guess? It's their job to protect the birds water dish and to feel free to pistol whip anyone that gets too close?

Probably a Ghost Buster
Can I have one great all-rounder, to do bits of everything?
Otherwise, definitely personal chef
Cat litter dealerwither! Need to vacuum every 5 minutes the way these boys kick the stuff around
dog walker atm. Would just love them to get some more walks!
Cleaner, must do laundry
A chef, in a heartbeat.
I've thought about a kitchen hand. They prepare. I cook. They clean up.
I chased a moth around the room, gave it an almighty lob with the fly swatter and now I don't know where it's gone.
it's hiding in your favourite jumper
No, I think I sent it over the tv.
it's taking so long to unpack and set up house as it's a house of 4 adults and 2 cats including the young Seagoons, this is their base here in Australia and where they keep their things.

Good night guys. Sweet dreams. ๐
I have an assignment to finish by later tonight, but I just want to sit and play guitar. That will be my reward (tomorrow)
Old fart comment: I used to know to the minute how long it took to print an essay and bolt to the faculty office before they cleared the essay drop box.
Midnight online submission? Luxury ๐
You got this!
I have a big fat PowerPoint research project I should be working on, but I'm utterly distracted learning guitar ๐ญ๐
Tomorrow! Tomorrow I start the assessment heheh
If you get your assignment done tonight, you'll have all day to play guitar! You can do it! I believe in you, hot stuff! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
