Today's weather forecast (Melbourne CBD, 3000): min - 16°C, max - 22°C. 25% chance of at least 1mm of rain

Emoji inspiration: I call this part of the year (the time between Boxing Day and New Year's Day) the "never-never times" because some things are open, others are closed, some people are working, a lot not, so fuck all gets done, and if you need anything besides food or groceries, you're basically SOL

Happy International Day of Epidemic Preparedness!

Unfortunately I don't really have an outdoor area yet. I'm hoping to set one up with some outdoor furniture when (or tbh even if) the finances allow. Currently I've just got the pool, umbrella, and a plant stand thing. I'll probably just eat at my computer desk in my bedroom because the smell hasn't permeated in, at least not yet

Pretty much anything goes for first independant home outdoor area! I remember in my student days people used things like milk crates, old esky’s, large logs as seats. Table can be any old crap it really doesn’t matter. Plus, recycling is good for the planet. Then slowly over time as you find your feet you can buy other things. Improvisation can be fun and creative too.
