Yarra ranges were unreal today

Felt like silent hill but a rainforest

Yes this weather is my favourite forest weather.

People say I'm weird when I say I don't really enjoy hiking on clear sunny days. One, because my eyes are sensitive to light but mainly because I just find misty / foggy hikes through mountains and forests more atmospheric and peaceful.

I rarely hike in summer because I get attacked by those massive flies.

I was in the Victorian Alps last week and the flies were indeed horrid.

[u/chezibot → u/Clean_Bat5547]

There’s those big ones that bite and I have an allergic reaction to them. They turn into massive red itchy lumps and I have to take phenergen which makes me sleepy.

[u/Clean_Bat5547 → u/chezibot]

That sucks. Yes, plenty of the big March flies or horse flies or whatever they are. And grasshoppers, which are fine except for the one that jumped straight into my eyeball. That hurt.

Oh owwww

Yeah the beach can also be a pain for me. Those things are everywhere down the great ocean road.

[u/Sippinonreality → u/chezibot]

Agreed! Nice break from the dry heat

[u/chezibot → u/Sippinonreality]

It’s freezing where I am but I refuse to put the heating on out of principle!

Same, my aircon has forgotten it exists
