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!

Jason has been configured. I think. Jason is now sleeping. The instructions say Jason must sleep for at least 4 hours before vacuuming

At about 10:30, Jason is gonna do a lap around the room. Jason is short, but, uhh, a bit wide, so may have some trouble in certain spots but can fit under basically everything

Jason sleeping

I haven't entirely Jason-proofed my room yet. Hell try to eat his charger and the blind thingy if I leave them there. Not 100% sure what I can do about either of those though. Don't really have alternatives

Reminds me of the "Jason, Jason, Jason" catchphrase the Jimmy Giggle guy (forgot his actual name :/) used to use in his Meanwhile in Australia videos during lockdown!
