Another warehouse rave tonight.

This time a private warehouse. Last one was basically just a big abandoned tin shed.

Loving the return to the underrground scene. BYO at these things is great. Ticket for this was $40, which is what you'd usually pay for an international headliner in a bar / club. But that's like 2 pints these days so there's that.

Also has one of the biggest custom sound systems in Aus this time that's used for large outdoor festivals:

eee

In coburg so a few late night PT options which is good.

With ticket prices these days that's a steal compared to big shows. And most of that money will be going to the artists and organisers

Pretty productive day all things considered.

Pickled some daikon and jalapenos.

Rearranged wardrobe. Took some clothes to a charity bin. Went to the gym. Had a nap. Went out for dinner.

Waiting to pick up one of the kids from a mates place and maybe watch a movie at home.

Local chippy in Thornbury: until about a year ago, was great for chips but the fish was meh. Then it changed hands, and the fish became great but the chips were meh. Has changed hands again in the last month - the fish is now good normal but the potat cak is GOD-TIER! Best I've ever had. Maybe I just got lucky.

Wish my local would change hands. Both fish and chips are meh. Sad.

Spoke to the specialist yesterday. After looking over everything he said it's fine.

Phew.

I'm looking forward to tonight. ๐Ÿฅ‚ ๐Ÿท ๐Ÿบ ๐Ÿน ๐Ÿธ ๐Ÿป ๐Ÿท ๐Ÿบ ๐Ÿธ ๐Ÿน

Fair enough, was contemplating Hungry Caterpillar spots, but they are a tad bright

Amy Winehouse was done so damn dirty. She's so fucking talented.

Now in possession of an author scribbled book. And a social cut that could be measured in Kelvin. Not sorry.

Which bit? Ms Greenwood's Wizard's new book. A horrid little imp forgot my name. Ran off after 1 word.

once it hits 4 o'clock it starts to get cold, especially on clear days ๐Ÿฅถ

[โ€“] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Eh, at that point i'm usually covered in so much shit i've got a layer of insulation

[โ€“] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But I am coming back into the city after two weeks in warmer realms and it's nice to see it still bright at 5:40! Not looking forward to the cold but it's the dark that ends me

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

the sunsets here the past two weeks have been so beautiful, bright and orange

the early sunsets is what got to me when living in Belgium, sun goes down at 4 and my Aussie internal clock says night time, time to stop doing things

I don't mind dark in the morning, just in the early evening

cold is just cold

I'm at the point of winter where I'm ready for it start warming up. Let the sun on my skin feel actually warm please

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago

I got a talking to when I told doc I really liked and needed to feel sun on my skin. After a lifetime of walking in the shade I wanted some sun.

Had two new random neighbours in the back garden at 7am (which really doesn't happen down here). Young couple. Literally moved in yesterday.

Turns out they were trying to scale the fence as they forgot their key. Didn't ask. just started walking through the garden and climbing lol.

Did not like that body language. Overly confident bf, very submissive gf. yikes.

Hopefully for her sake that shit's alright.

Anyway have a new mini art display on the fireplace:

Painting is probs 30yrs old and been in the cupboard the whole time. Really nice astro thing.

Really old shackles put up around the corner:

Lighthouse is a key holder thing that's been there forever. By accident kinda makes sense. Stars above the point lonsdale lighthouse! As kids we used to get high there and look up for hours so that makes sense too. Looking closely there's an outline of what looks like ned kelly (maybe). So that and the shackles close together makes sense as well.

Was a bugger getting them up there.

Usually when putting shit on walls here it's not a democracy (I have no say). So far so good. They're so high up I'm the only one in the fam who can take them down lol.

That has some Klimt vibes despite being blue rather than yellow. Like.

Another solid Spider-Man offering. A bit somber this time around but ,as with every chapter, hopeful at the ending.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Good to see you back YB.

I took advantage of the weather and managed to get the washing dry outside. It feels like a major achievement at this time of year.
