I went swimming for an hour today. I am as excited by the water as I was when I was 3 years old.

@AuntHen don't spend it all in 1 place.

Haha. I am too frugal for that

I’m happy this morning to be able to lie in a bed, in a warm house, while so many others are out on the street.

I bought an awesome new top in the sale today!

I'm happy today, because I went to the Alliance française for the first time this year and because I'm a fat man.

I got a new headset which is more comfortable and has much better sound than the cheap one I've been using for the past 11 months. And we ordered in indian food (thali platters -- some rice, some naan, and 7 small servings of various other dishes to have with those. So many flavors and textures, and the spices help warm up mid-winter). And I survived another trip around the sun

A five day heatwave has finally broken, going out with a bang yesterday at 38C. The clouds and rain have returned, so that makes me extremely happy.

Just came back from Sydney. Was stuck in a house with no air con . At one stage i was drinking beer in the lounge room at 3am cause it was too hot in the rooms upstairs! Only to return to Adelaide for more of the same...cruel nature.

You've luckily missed a hot one today then.
We've had several real scorchers and gross heatwaves, but this has been one of the "coolest" summers I can remember. More rain than bush-fires, so I can't complain. Last year was horrifying.

True. I guess the worst thing we had to deal with for the last couple of months was state lockouts.

Fared my better than other places.

I'm happy today, because it is the Chinese Lunar New Year, and because I'm a fat man.

I am happy today because the incredible @ODFFA made this for me...as a fat man with a lot of internalized toxicity and social conditioning, it's been a LONG time since I even considered myself worthy of love...and to have someone make me something like this, I've never felt more loved and seen and accepted in my life...happy to the point of tears about this. Thank you my wonderful @ODFFA.

I am happy because - as you Dimsfolk will no doubt come to learn - this is symbolic of how gorgeous @SensoriumPanda is, inside and out: his warmth, his empathy, his handsomeness, his zest for life, his confidence, his intelligence, his openness with people and the way it just draws people to him, his cuddliness, his incredible sense of humor and playfulness...

You are so loving, and you inspire me in so many ways. I loved every second of making this for you, and thinking all the while about how it symbolises all your wonderful qualities. You are more than welcome, my amazing SensoriumPanda ❤

Only two more weeks until winter officially ends

Time to watch out for snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis and other species). It always amazes me how these most fragile-looking plants push their way through frozen ground and snow to flower.

I am happy to be me.

The torrential rains have finally stopped.
