Hey gang. So first half a day in Japan didn’t go amazingly well but there were some good moments. I had an overnight flight to China and then a connecting flight to Japan, and I had really sore knees and couldn’t get comfortable. Transiting through China felt like a fever dream. Got here, went on train. The real scramble shouldn’t be Shibuya Scramble but Shinjuku Station, because it’s jam-packed. I then met up with friend who carried my luggage for me, and her friend who tagged along bought us yakiniku which was nice. Hostel is cool, but the shower rooms were a bit gross and there was nowhere to put my clothes and toiletries. I didn’t really get to do what I had planned to do today, but that’s the fun of it I guess. Hopefully I’ll get some good rest tonight and that the konbinis live up to the hype.

We're regulars at a Vietnamese restaurant in Footscray. Been going there for years.

Waitress asked us for a photo today as they have a wall out back of customers who get special discounts and freebies.

They're so sweet.

I survived the night shift and got some good sleeping in today, ready to go again tonight 🙂

It's amazing to see the amount of effort put in by volunteers all over the state (and from interstate) in harrowing and dangerous conditions. Thousands of people out there willing to put their lives on hold to undertake some of the most arduous work possible, and to keep going back again. Even with the worst of the weather past us there is going to be a lot of work ongoing to bring the fires under control.

Ugh. A marketplace scam I didn’t anticipate: Buyer collects, but then later claims some issue/ reason for a refund while they re-list and on-sell the item. They hope to cash in on getting the refund as well as selling the item.

I’ve reported them. But it’s still very concerning that they have made physical threats. Bloody lowlife.

I’m pinned down and getting tail hugs

Bickford's Pink Lemonade is good shit, lemony strawberry refreshment with soda water.

Bubs was so exhausted from yesterday that she slept through the night. She got up for water but mostly just cuddled.

Heard some rain last night, I hope the rest of the state gets some as well.

omg, the smoke outside/beach is so bad I just about had an asthma attack and came back asap

the streets here are now hazy and the sky is yellow

I’m off to the market. Any requests?

Copped an infection from yesterday's stuff. Antibiotics have kicked in finally.

Been practising a song for about 5 weeks and finally got it down. Here's a phone recording if anyone's interested

Hope you all have a good night :)

good night everyone, sweet dreams 😘

I think I’m going to put some music on and build a model

My ear worm today: Beezleboss - Tenacious D

Too Many Zooz and Bloc Party are a great combo. Highly recommend! 10/10!

Some debt place has been texting me for months to pay for 2 COVID tests I needed to pay for back in April. They just sent me their final notice so I'm thinking I still don't pay and see what happens. They haven't done anything but text, and there has been no threat of further escalation.

Part of it is because the tests were done in the name of my 3 year old son. Could it impact him 15 years later if he defaulted on a debt when he was a child?

I have been listening to the audio book of the ABC of Relativity by Russell until the principles and laws get into my head and I start to imagine the world and my place in it differently.

One thing is it makes me feel so very very tiny in a very very large universe, when Jupiter and Saturn are considered very small then I am what?

I slept for over 12 hours. I needed it, but I hate how my face gets really puffy when I oversleep.
