Knocked back #work today because I just physically needed the day off and some quiet. So of course F-bomb Freddy's going off again. Only 2pm and already shouting foul-mouthed abuse at people, to an incongruous soundtrack of laid-back 70s adult contemporary folk-rock. Roll on, post #Covid-19 real estate bust; need some cheap, obnoxious-bogan-free lodgings. #Aloha #Sawtell

Been print-to-file-ing long reads for sitting on #Sawtell beach with a bottle of wine. #LockdownHobo God, I love a nice print style sheet! (And hate sites that won't render their main content without #JavaScript.) #CSS

F-bomb Freddy has been in fine form today. Effing up a storm since dawn, then took a defiant swim in the #covid19 closed communal pool. Now it looks like he's seen off yet another visiting former cellmate with the traditional "You 'eard me! Fark orf out of 'ere!" farewell. Ah, the #Sawtell lifestyle! #Aloha

@mjd
Ah yes #Sawtell sounds. Plug in your mic, you could make me some ambient recordings to remind me of home....

An emotional roller coaster day. Midnight. Silence. The surf. My gurgling fridge. My Sony Walkman tinnitus. A freight train. Chirruping bats and geckos. Resisting the urge to switch on some entertainment noise. #Sawtell

Defrosted the freezer today. Genuine fun. Closest thing you'll get to snow in #Sawtell. If you have a fridge that isn't crap, you are really missing out.
-
The temperature is dipping down towards a mild 20℃, so the aroma of long-dormant chimneys once again wafts over #Sawtell. Only this year… Do I detect a hint of toilet paper kindling?

Grey day. Somebody in the next block of flats is playing the William Tell Overture on the accordion. I didn't expect that. #Sawtell

F-bomb Freddy's dominance display ended in a torrent of bitter farking, once Mayor McWheeze emerged from his lair to lock horns. The young buck bowed, the CDs now lie still, and both have retreated to their corners to lick their wounds. Peace has descended upon #CellBlockAloha, but for how long? #Sawtell

F-Bomb Freddy is broadcasting again this afternoon, accompanying some corporate rap and techno with his own less-than-unique country-style whoops and hollers. Can't even seek refuge in the pub, as it's shut. #Aloha #Sawtell

Just been down to the chemist shop. #Sawtell cinema, pub, club, op shop, etc. all closed for the duration. Medical centre, bakery greengrocers, convenience store all operating with sticky tape crosses on the floor and/or seating 2m apart. #flattenthecurve #putthatlightout

Thank Yeshua the Nazarene, the festival of lazy, loping, stoner rhythm guitar is finally over. I demand noisy neighbours with better taste! #Sawtell

#Sawtell is drying out now. On my way home from work today, on the verge of the street where yesterday there was a shin-deep lake that ruined my shoes, I spotted a stranded turtle. It's shell was about the diameter of a tin of peaches.
I stuck it in my shopping bag and carried it round the corner to the nearest creek-cum-drainage-ditch, setting it gently on the bank with it's feet in the water. It wouldn't budge until I backed off a few metres, then it looked about until satisfied that it was relatively safe, leapt into the air, and vanished with a plop into the still rushing, murky-brown water.
At least it won't die of dehydration in the next 24 hours. It was possibly the most useful and satisfying thing I've done in years.

Slipped out of asylum at the Ecuadoran embassy in #Sawtell to catch the last showing of the latest #StarWars. Lots of death and mayhem culminating in group hugs. What more do you want? I'm sure #Disney will carry on flogging the dead horse until the bones are clean, but I'm glad that I saw all first nine mainline features at the cinema on first release. (Bonus nerd points: I saw Return of the Jedi a second time at the Caringbah Drive-in.)

No ordinary person can enjoy the Pina Colada Song loudly and unironically. The deadbeat divorcees round my manor are certainly exceptional specimens. The ex-wives of #Sawtell must be kicking themselves.

Bloody tourists bringing their foreign viruses into town. They're not sending their best, you know. There are some bad, phlegmatic hombres among them. We need to build a wall. A big, beautiful, antiseptic, wipe-clean wall. And we're going to set up a water slide on the other side, so that the tourists will pay for it. #Sawtell #holidays

It's 34℃, according to the #Coffs airport weather station, the sky is Bangkok brown, flecks of ash are drifting by, I'm wheezing, my eyes are stinging, and I am very glad I don't have asthma. #sawtell

Real, proper, pelting summer-style rain for the first time since moving into digs at 221B Baker St #Sawtell. Familiar but surreal. The palm trees are not so much swaying as angrily thrashing about.

@tregeagle Know of any restaurants in #Sawtell or #Coffs that would appeal to people with a very 1970s palate? My parents are visiting next month, health scares permitting, and the only times I've eaten out in the last year have been when you've bought a bag of crisps with a round. [Brushes crumbs off belly] Oh, salt and vinegar! Why can I never say no?

@tregeagle It was classic oven door #weather when I left the air conditioning. Then I crossed the railway line and got the #Sawtell 5℃ discount, and on my windswept promontory it was positively mild. But yes, it looks like it will be a harrowing summer. Blow wind, blow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI3tKFyux9M
