There this one thing everyone wants - "happiness". Oddly, they think it is a destination than a feeling. The movie "A Perfect Day" demonstrates what feeling "content" looks like. At the same time, the movie showcases a heap of unusual looking toilets. Hee hee.
Short break.
Daylesford was a lovely country town to walk around despite it was hilly. Sad that the north Hepburn Spring area where the hot spring is located had empty shops and restaurants. Many of them were labelled "for lease". It will sure take a while to revitalise the areas.
Aging siblings.
It is such a sad state to watch your sister try to fill the void by talking how about commuters and Starbuck patrons have offended her or done her wrong "somehow". Dude, I have errands to do, I do not want fill my mind with negative thoughts on a 32 degree heat. Save your brags for your mates.
Bro finds parking in the city very stressful. I try to tell him where there super tram stops are located, road works, no through roads, speed humps locations, and up coming events. Whether any of it sits in his brain is another question.
It is puzzling, it is 2024, everyone has an Internet enabled smartphone, but they cannot find someone else to talk to, find information on events taking place in their city, and check today's weather. What the fuck?! This is bullshit. Omg! Stop with the lies, people.
PoGo in hot summer.
So fabulous to have a Pokemon ambassador willing to come out in hot heat to organise 3 hours raid route. Steve and I bumped into each other. It seems we both chose to go and do a suburb 3 hour raid event. lol. The pattern went like 2 - 1 - 1 - 2 and reverse every 30 minutes. Overall, we did 36 raids. Which is more than most would like to commit to, but we did it in 30 degrees heat. 3 shinies out of 36 raids, that is pretty decent.
