I can’t speak for the rest of Sydney, but I can speak for my household in asking 1) why is it so dark and 2) why is it so wet and 3) will we ever feel the warmth of true happiness ever again. Please advise

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 we are literally gonna have an east coast low please god do not let a tree fall on me or my home blow away.

Insert screaming here.

There are not enough lime bikes in crows nest

I was riding the little lime bicycle home tonight and it was twelve degrees and the cold wind was going up my sleeves and this was very unpleasant.

Could whoever turned the thermostat down on Sydney please for the love of god turn it up again.

I think I’m getting seasonally depressed it is cold and dark and I’m pissed off.

it's the 10 year anniversary of a very important study

Also - found the bike lanes all the way to the pool at green square today - very good. More swimming I’ve heard it’a good for you.

We need to talk about how I get ads for both muscle nation and muscle republic and this implies other state-related activewear. Muscle monarchy. Muscle dictatorship.

I have signed up for ballet classes so I do literally any exercise this winter. Stay tuned.

It’s raining again

THE PRIMARY REASON TO VISIT THE BARBICAN THIS TIME OF YEAR.

Found the ramen district of Kyoto and this has improved my life.

Forgot the photos here is some Japan definitely visit it

Japan is so great. Bring your family. Eat things on sticks and take the incredible trains. Be nice to the locals. Especially from Australia where there is no jet lag and it can be done as a day flight.

I am looking forward to seeing Dutton concede and then NEVER CLAPPING EYES ON HIM EVER AGAIN.

I somehow managed to watch an hour of iview an hour behind and when we realised they’d called it. Amazing shit from me here tonight.

Did the democracy and now I’m gonna sit watching the white lotus until someone capitulates. Concedes. Whatever.

QUITE ENJOYED THIS BUILDING. AND THE FACT THAT IT SITS ON THE CORNER OF STREETS CALLED ROGER AND JOHN.

Me, every time it rains in Sydney: is this an east coast low? BRB I must meme this

I looooooooooooveeeeeeee an expressed staircase. If I can read your building from the outside I will read and enjoy. I love an expressive building. See this one in crows nest before it either gets demolished for a 40 storey building or overshadowed by one.

I texted my hairdresser whom I have not seen since October. I will embrace her and shower her in wine and gifts of love and money

@aidantruhen.bsky.social this gave me incredible Jack Price vibes please enjoy. I’m worried the algorithm knows me too well.

Dear lord the ‘property investment twenty something year olds’ are being put into my algorithm and I want to yell into some voids.

I dabble in twilight racing and the boat I race on Wednesday nights put holes in no less than four pairs of shorts this season. FOUR. Filthy ungrateful little shit of a boat. I love her.

Back to that time of year in Sydney where it’s cold enough for a coat in the morning and a t shirt by lunch time. And then you have to carry around your stupid coat.

Some nights, you just have to be generally annoyed and willing to sulk on a Sunday night. Mental health at not quite all time lows, but it’s not great. This week will be Books and Wine (pictured).

Sent the federal health minister a nastygram about medication shortages. Sort it out.

Finally finished Karla’s Choice. Yes it took four months (work is a lot). Beautiful work from @harkaway.bsky.social. Going to have to read it again and figure out the bits I missed which is very Le Carré. Also it made me sad and gave me a book hangover, which is ditto.

When will my metro return on weekends and have more than 10 min headways. Pls. Pls my metro he is very ill. I would like to go to crows nest.

Also HOT MY GOD IT IS LIKE LIVING IN AN OVEN THIS WEEKEND.

I’ve been using aerogard on my literal house. Sydney is such a painful place to live.

The ‘half the cost of a new greenfield house is tax’ is going around again and it is crap guys please engage in a little critical thinking for me.

Aquarius: Things will be fine as long as you can answer the gnome's riddle.

Need to expropriate my local Merivale venue so I can drink outside because all the other pubs around here have shite courtyards.

Real estate ad ‘three generous bedrooms’ and two of them are less than 3m wide. Bitch that’s one bedroom and two studies.

Colleague discovered the NSW planning framework for Acid Sulfate Soils… or as it is more commonly called, ASS. We got a dramatic reading of the documentation referring to ‘land subject to ASS’ and ‘management of the impacts of ASS’ and yeah it’s pretty funny.

I’ve finally figured out how to use a claw clip in a way that works for me and now watch them go out of fashion immediately.

MORE WINDOW FRAMES IN THIS COLOUR PLEASE. TA.

Please stop acting like interest rates are subject to gravity. They are not and you should feel bad.

Aquarius: If it looks like the stars have aligned for you, double check to make sure you're not about to be creamed by a meteor.

I stole this from twitter or possibly Facebook but yeah sitrep

Friend: I’m thinking about moving out Me: yes that’s probably good for you Friend: and buying my own place Me: in this economy? How are you even intending to service a mortgage???? Friend: not sure yet Kids this is why economic literacy is so important.

It me

REMEMBER KIDS IF YOU’RE POSH AND WELL-CONNECTED YOU CAN PAY YOURSELF A FORTUNE, GET ON THE RADIO AND TELE, WRITE BOOKS ABOUT PUERILE, OVERSIMPLIFIED ARCHITECTURAL ISSUES, BUT STILL DESIGN BLAND BUILDINGS AND PRODIGAL, PURPOSELESS BRIDGES WITHOUT BOTHERING TO QUALIFY AS AN ACTUAL ARCHITECT.

Fresh death in paradise! Happy times for the soul on a Sunday evening.

Stop acting like interest rates are subject to gravity I am begging you

I check the cricket scores and we have 600 runs… what is happening let them have a bat please this is a test match not an exhibition of our batting talent. I mean it could be both but 600 is a LOT.
