I want to share a meme. I promise not to flood this place with memes every day lol

hahahaha. I approve
Bring on the memes!
This is one of my favourites! Also
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have done heaps over the last few days. Thrown out so much stuff. I think I might make a nice cold drink, chillax and look at some pretty lights as soon as I get off the couch and have a shower. Any minute now…but cricket…GET UP…
Update: I have showered and now my houseboy is making me a vodka & lemon.
Someone at home dropped off some beer and this yuzu and vodka drink. I had one of each because I rode to work and I’ve probably sweated most of it out on the way home
they sound very considerate
I’m going crazy for yuzu drinks at the moment, with vodka is just an added bonus!! That’s an awesome gift!
vodka and lemon sounds very nice 🥹
completely off grid electricity-wise since 7am. Solar currently producing 7kW, 4.6 of which is feeding the grid. So far today: 32kWh.
God I love summer.
Jealous.
My little ol’ thing currently punching 1.4kW :(
I really want solar panels one day. There’s the disposal issue, but I’m sure someone will come up with something.
Don’t let perfection get in the way of progress- 20/30 years of minimising carbon production is well worth it.
Hell yeah
Wow you have a great system - must be 10kw size? Mine’s at 13kwh for the day so far, 6.7 system size. I’ve only had solar for a few months but well worth the investment.
Yeah we went for the highest number of panels our roof could support. All of them. Cover it!! Cost us 9k after rebates, zero regrets.
cries in little portable battery I’ve been too sick to fix
Here’s a photo from up the hill during the new ride. It’s pretty nice this can be part of my regular commute to work:

Going over the hill really tuckers the bike out though. I had it go flat on me during a ride for the first time today, well within range for the battery normally. I’ll need to watch the charge more of I go this way.
That is nice. I have a few nice views on my way to work but it is much harder to appreciate them when you are whizzing past in the car.
It’s kind of the same on the bike. This is what I see before I drop down a road that gets me up to 40km/hr. You do feel more in touch with things though, easing down the dirt path seeing kangaroos and rabbits
I made a late addition to the menu for the next couple of days: apricot sorbet in progress.
Oooh, good idea. Ice cream bowl attachment is in the freezer.
🤤
I feel like there’s a loophole with international licenses.
Some people should not be driving, let alone ubers.
The first time I drove after getting my Ps was in Canada in a brand new 50k rental car, wrong side of the road through mountainous terrain 🙃 (I should not have been allowed to do that)
🤣🤣🤣
yeah, we trust that other countries have reliable licensing like we do
there should be some kind of test
Yeah even in some countries, they make you do a driving test more than once. I can’t really parallel park properly so would not pass without practise.
Good timing moving all that mulch over the last few weeks. Should take the sting out over the next few days.
Feel for local caravan park folks though. Lucky the sea is right next door.
the breeze is nice by the beach
Hopefully the sea breeze kicks in for them overnight. Next day for down here is only 25c so they’re probably in luck.
Mmmm, dog health anxiety. He’s always had a wonky back right leg but with three spares it’s never been to much of an issue. Now his front left leg seems to be giving him bother. He didn’t want to go walkies morning or evening today. I’ll try again when it gets cooler in case it’s the heat but maybe he needs a few days rest. I did some basic diagnostics like I would a human and couldn’t elicit any response while playing with his leg, its joints and the muscles. I had a good look through his beans incase there was a bindi or splinter in there but nothing. Maybe he just can’t be bothered. He seems happy enough and is playing fetch so I’m not too concerned at this stage.
Treatment for arthritis in pets is pretty good now, Allie had those once a month steroid injections and they worked miracles.
That’s good to know. He’s got a vax booster appointment coming up. Did they give you the injection to do at home or would I need to start seeing the vet every month?
Right there with you. It’s worrying when they don’t seem themselves.
Is he getting older? Melbcat gets monthly Solensia for arthritis
He is. CEO and my terriers are similar ages. ~13.
This may help to determine whether your dog is in pain, though I imagine you would know already :)

Thanks, I gave him a gentle myotherapy fondle and couldn’t get pain or withdrawal reactions. When he hurt his quad/hamstring a few years ago I was massaging it and he was pretty clear about what was and wasn’t acceptable.
If his heartrate and respiratory rate are normal*, then I’d say it’s just the weather. Animals can get lazy when it’s warm. If his behaviour doesn’t return to normal when the weather is cooler then I’d look further into it.
*You’d have to look up the normal hr and RR for your breed of dog, as it varies between size and breed, and I’d imagine he’d let you rest your head on him to hear his heart, or take it from his femoral artery near his groin :)
He’s currently snoring lightly next to me in bed. I did give him some medicinal pecorino.
Give him a pat for me, please!
Wish I had YarraByte’s leave quota
Beach was a bit seaweedy but the water temp was perfect. I am grateful to past me for putting all my stuff back in the beach bag (after it dried) after my last trip. Easy to grab and take to the office this morning for sneaky after work dip.
Congrats to @Catfish@aussie.zone for the weekly challenge on PoGo - you got me by 1!! I was so determined to help get the team across the line this week, thank you for inviting me to your party!!
Yay! Glad to add you. Not expecting to do much in the next few days though!
What an awesome after dinner walk down at the little beach.
The tide was out so I checked the rock pools along the sea wall. Success!! Last year there were two neon green sea anemones, this year there are two big colonies with maybe two dozen anemones in total. 😊 I took pics.
So cool!!! Thanks for sharing! We had a pre dinner swim and it was glorious out there!
Very cool
Found lump on dog’s leg. It doesn’t look like the ones G had which is a positive. Hopefully it’s nothing.
He does not care for his cooling mat.
poor little guy, animals can really suffer in the heat
Fatty lumps happen, get it checked and be assured
🤞🖤
Maybe a frozen snackie might suit him better
It is a lovely, lovely day
it is 🌞
that guy’s songs are pure love
I now have a meat box and a fruit & veg box scheduled to be delivered on Friday. That’ll teach Coles to keep missing things from my orders!
It’d have to be better quality you’d think 🤔 There’s a povvo Coles and an average Coles near me… the povvo Coles has rubbish meat and the average Coles is only marginally better. The Woolies near me has meat so overpriced that I have been known to laugh out loud at the audacity. Wouldn’t mind if the farmer was getting a higher percentage of the money but we all know that isn’t happening.
