Life update time!

( Covid sucks and I'm not going to Sydney )

WELP all my pride of being the state that never actually went into lockdown has just dropped off a cliff. As of midnight, it's just me and the cat for the next six days, and then we'll see what happens.

For context, we got our first community case since April on Sunday, four new cases. Monday there were 17 and SA Health hit panic stations. Yesterday ( Read more... )

( Covid )

Good shit: We're up to 10 days in a row with no new cases here in SA :DDD Grand total of, like, 14 active cases, none of them in ICU. NT hasn't had any new cases in over three weeks, ACT has been declared COVID-free and across the whole country we're generally getting fewer than 15 new cases a day. Many states are rolling back restrictions, we're ( Read more... )

I'M AN AUNTIE! To an adorable little cherrub called Airlie, and about whom I've talked in a flocked post cos I don't want to release anything without Mumma's permission. But she's beautiful and I love her ( Read more... )

"A Reduced Threat has been issued for the Cudlee Creek fire which is now Contained."

Today it wasn't 40 degrees! This is noteworthy because it has been 40 degrees for four days in a row, and today it's bumped around between 23 and 27 literally since midnight. It's been glorious. Opened the house up when I got home and just blew all the heat straight through. I made it all through winter without using the aircon* and I was trying to ( Read more... )

NEW STATE GOVERNMENT. This has literally not happened my entire voting life. Nick Xenophon didn't win a single seat, not even his own, by which I am more amused than I should be. But most importantly I don't have to deal with Jay Weatherill's shit anymore, woooooo.

Actually, most importantly, Monday is going to be busy. Bring on the business card ( Read more... )

Voted, ate democracy sausage, also ate democracy donuts, donated $5 to the CFS. Democratic obligations completed. Now we wait and see what happens.

More importantly, though, I wrote three pages of Gold last night, woo! I should be sending out job applications or doing more on the website but it feels like it must've been close to a year since I ( Read more... )

Three days out from the state election and I've finally looked up my local candidates. I don't want to vote for any of them. I have a Liberal, a Labor (the two major parties), an SA Best (the Threat Party), a Green and an independent with the most hipster beard you ever did seeI can't stand Labor, who break things, fix them with a Band-aid then ( Read more... )
