Anyone Bayside/SE burbs smell that smoke in the air? I know it was forecast to be a foggy start to the day, but it has this weird aroma to it and our air purifier is going nuts.

Yes it smells industrial
Been hazy and smokey over here in the western suburbs for a few days. Today seems a bit worse though.
I use this tool to see the air pollution in real time. https://aqicn.org/here/
The closest one to me says that the from the 29th something suddenly polluted the air. Not sure what it is, but could be bushfires or a factory mishandling something.
The one in Sandringham says the air's worse for some reason. Currently at "unhealthy". Best to stay indoors.

What's with all the blasphemous talk this morning? Respect to the guy who laid Cadbury choc eggs and hid them around the cave please.
Blasphemy is a bizarre concept. As are most Gods. Why should I respect your theoretical arse for roaming around the countryside shagging everybody while disguised as wildlife?

Mmmm chocolate
SOS βΌοΈβΌοΈ
I sat on those little Cadbury chocolate eggs by accident and it spilled onto the couch. now I looked online and I scraped the chocolate as much as I could from the couch. Then I made a mixture of dishwashing liquid and water and Ieft it on the couc to soak for a bit and it didnβt work so then I had this genius idea of using napisan vanish, and that has seemingly made the stain worse. I also put some corn flour (after looking at some articles online, and that's the white bit from the image, but I assume this will go away with time?) This is my housemate couch and sheβs going to be really upset. How do I fix this? A lot of aggressive wiping may or may not have happened...
Also it doesn't look as bad as in the photo. My camera seems to have made it look so much worse...
Are the covers removable? A full careful hand wash is going to get a more even result than any spot clean.
And be very careful of any of those enzyme sprays. If your sofa has any animal fibre (wool, silk) it will burn a hole in it.

Back to reading depression book, it's a slow slog
today's rereading. Extreme reactions and intolerance of ambiguity. aka, making shit up in your head
The last part I understand very well. Now I fell myself to stop worrying about imaginary problems. Sometimes it works.
Thanks. I will tell myself that too. π
( The shit I make up in my head I would never believe if it was written down on paper, there I can see the leaps of logic, the assumptions, the biases . In my head because one thought follows another it's too easy to believe that my train of thought is a logical pattern. )

What's up with the Moon? Looks like a giant slice of an orange here in Sydney.
