Kind of happy to be spending the day in hospital just for the air-conditioning! Poor housemate was cranking the evaporative cooling as I was walking out the door.
Had a lovely beach day in Jan Juc yesterday. So nice without the crowds. Then stayed for the sunset in my favourite viewing spot.
Glad I chose yesterday to go, I think today would have some with some sand wind whipping.

Fingers crossed the weather isnโt too nasty today, worried about fire more than power outages

Pancakes with bacon and maple syrup, and hot coffee please. Gotta carb load before it gets too hot to eat, or my brain will cease functioning. If it hasn't already.

Mosquitos are out with a vengeance.
Happy Margarita Day!
I got given some used items from work, some cushions and a seemingly very big expensive bean bag that I'll need to wash before using.
I barely managed to fit the bean bag into my back boot of the car, I have feeling that it's going to be way too big for my place but it might be nice to be able to lean back into a bean bag.

How do you buy a house? Real question.
It seems like 8000 steps all of which cost money before you even look at a place, let alone start installing petunias.
Everyone's covered money and process well so far, so I'll just add some advice.
A global pandemic really helps. I'm not kidding. Never let a good crisis go to waste. Be prepared to strike when opportunity presents itself. We brought in covid, and couldn't afford this place if it went on the market today. If you can, going country can help. Warragal got expensive, but further out isn't too bad so long as you don't have to do the city 5 days a week. Seymour has houses for under 400k, and a vline to Melbourne taking 1.5 hours (which isn't THAT much worse than Pakenham to Melbourne).
Talk to your parents and sibs.
See how much assets the family owns.
Discuss if you want share buying a house, if anyone is up for being a guarantor, if they will help with deposit.
See how much you can repay every month.
Organise first home buyer benefits.
Look at houses that are way less than you can afford. This way you won't be too stressed.
Try to buy something built in 60s or 70s, even if it's in a crappy suburb. Be close to PT, hospitals, schools and parks.
Aim to live in the house your whole life if possible. Buying and selling , stamp duty, is a terrible waste of money.
Make sure you have money for maintenance.
Iโll stop you at 1.
Zero speaking terms.
yeah, this is a problem
but it's how so many people get on the property ladder
this do it all on yer own is not how well off people do it

radar is down
Itโs so unsatisfying!! I want to see the rain!
Whatโs everybody watching? Need a new tv show.
Edit: Thankyou all, I now have a list to choose from!
Yellowjackets on paramount, am enjoying. Plane of girls soccer team crashes in Canada wilderness 30y ago. It's like 50/50 between then, and present time. Girls go nuts in wilderness, girls in present time deal with consequences.

Cool change is here ๐
Home from pub. Those margaritas are fully dangerous, even without the coriander. House was 28 deg inside on entry, have opened all the windows and watched the thermometer drop 5 degrees in as many minutes. I may yet be able to sleep tonight. Tho I suspect the margaritas will help.

I think I'll go home via an air-conditioned pub. The cool change has apparently reached Ocean Grove but no further until 7 pm.
