I have gymed. A distinct lack of cardio today, but my lifts are great

I'm gonna make this Double chocolate mousse cake. Do you reckon I could leave out the liqueur? Because I reckon it wouldn't make a difference in the actual structure.

Maybe I do a test run first.

I got gelato. It's like I've been punched in the face by a passionfruit

Not on my bingo card for today was a director in the business trying to convince me that I don't understand my own car's registration. Sure, dude, sure.

I don't understand real estate.

I was looking online for fun and saw this house. https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-tas-forth-141066708

I love how positively haunted it is with the attic and what not. Would be a fun fixer-upper. But it's a dump. It's not liveable. It needs a lot of work. It's not on a lot of land. It's not near anything major in Tasmania (like Hobart or Launceston). The only "benefit" is how old it is.

"Accepting offers over 550k"

I truly don't get how.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I would love to have the $$ to buy something like that, renovate the shit out of it and live away from people.

Having said that, probably looking at like 200k in renovations (most likely more). The 550 seems low too considering what properties are going for these days.

So basically about a million to live in bumblefuck.

There is a massive lack of supply of housing in Australia. Very little is government built (unlike the 60s and 70s when govs were pumping cash in building homes), and developers are squeezing all they can out of buyers. Limited quantity of builders as well, so older and established 'gems' are fetching a pretty price.

Shit's fucked

All I want in this life is a balcony to sip my coffee on of a morning and look out at some mountains and trees.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I'd settle for not having daily power tool noises at this stage.

Mountains would be nice though

Whaddya mean ? It’s right near the bustling metropolis of Devo. Jewel of the North.!

Seriously that’s a decent size plot tho. The house doesn’t look too bad and would really shine with a bit of love. I don’t know the comps to really judge tho.

So I misread the time of my dental appointment. Today's off to a great start

Image of lunch: a tomatoey stew type thing with capsicum, zucchini, onion, garlic, chilli, ginger, cherry tomatoes, broccolini and Briesling sardines, and passata, with a side of white rice. I added the sardines at the end, and seperated a serve with none to take to the office tomorrow for lunch!

Oh man I'd love to see that! Reminded me a bit of The Hu Band Warning: contains Mongolians, metal, motorbikes and throat singing. You may feel empowered to overthrow invaders after watching it!
