I had my international orientation today and I had to go to school from our South Yarra apartment, so I thought that the bus from the train station to the school was in zone 2, while I was only willing to pay for a zone one pass. The walk, that looked like 10 minutes on mapquest, was in reality a half hour walk in the hot sun. I was already late so it didn’t help that I walked. Turned out, the bus ride is within the zone one zone. Duh. I’m so cheap.
We bought a fan and heater from the “Op Shop” for $15 a piece. We needed it because it was 35C today.
This was also day one of “Antageddon,” the ant attack on our apartment. I am realizing that having a courtyard apartment has its pitfalls, such as being accessible by all sorts of bugs that reside there. So far, in 4 days of living here we have killed 5 spiders, 2 cockroaches/beatles (not identified), and probably 40 ants. We took out the trash and battened down the hatches by taping all around the door with masking tape. Should hold up over night. Tomorrow we take serious action.
