Watching Brasilien tv shows has given me more travel bug , ( really just reminded of what I was thinking precovid )
Manaus, the river and the jungle look amazing. Sail the river from Santarem and go on tours to national parks.

I wasn't able to make it to my usual butcher this week and ended up buying my meat from Woolies, and ugh. How is home brand either the same price or more expensive than my butcher while being vastly worse quality?
IKR? I used to buy meat at Woolies as well, just laziness/convenience on my part I guess. When I switched to a local butcher who seems to specialise in chicken it was a revelation. Quality you can see, smell, feel and taste. Then when they closed for a short break over the holidays I had to do Woolies again and.. ugh. This year I'll be smarter and stock up the freezer for when they are closed, that's for sure!
I bought a wifi enabled light globe and now I'm adjusting the brightness and hue from my phone.
I feel ridiculous.

got the boxes/blanket over the study window, sealed the place up as much as I can. ACs are both on (one on each end of the house), solar is cranking out juice. Now we play the waiting game.
A/C got put on at 9 to pre-cool the house. Shutters are down, doors closed, Jeebus take the wheel!!
I had no idea the AC could go that low! Tipping doing so would outstrip what my solar can produce unfortunately.
I'm presuming 9am, not 9 degrees.
My aircon's lowest temp is 18 degrees, although it does have an 8 degree heating setting, designed to be used mostly for air circulation and to keep temperatures above freezing when your main heat soure is a fireplace or similar.

On my phone, on the home page I can access the weather and I don't know who is giving me the privilege but lately when I press it, it will say its 17ยฐc and raining. I go outside and it's not raining nor 17ยฐc. I've come to believe this is the default "I've shit myself. I'm gonna make something up now".

Let's get this heat and this work out of the way. I'm working on a project that restarts every month, so thank God for the leap year giving me an extra day to work on it
