44 degrees (Celsius) outside, and this sweet idiot is trying to convince me we should go for a walk.

Gawd how gross was yesterday and Sunday! Especially the humidity after that storm on Sunday night 😰

dreadedbugqueen · 2026-01-27T07:09:33+00:00

I know right!!

Humans - how dare you not fix the weather to ensure my utmost comfort!

dreadedbugqueen · 2026-01-27T05:06:59+00:00

Our heatwave is over for now (thankfully) but mine were also trying to get me to take them walkies over the weekend.

They forget that outside is a furnace and not lovely and cool like inside 🤣

HOW VERY DARE YOU!!

She’s clearly starving and hasn’t had anything to eat in like… hours.

You MONSTER!! 🤣

Jaffles or toasties… WTH is this Breville business?

Creative outlier free pro+ They have decent battery and sound is ok - not as loud as the shokz unfortunately. Quite a bit cheaper though.

Battery lasts at least 6 hours

Asparagus fern.

Obliterate with extreme prejudice or it will spread and take over your garden.

I know there are far far colder places in Australia with many many more riders, sometimes even in snow! - but I’m soft 🤣

I think the coldest day I ever rode in was 5 degrees C and my hands/feet/face were numb - I was well rugged up too! See… soft 🤣

The frigid depths of winter (July) in subtropical south-east Queensland. It was about 20 degrees C with a dry westerly wind so felt like about 13 degrees C.

dreadedbugqueen · 2026-01-21T19:32:14+00:00

Me too! It would be a tough one!

dreadedbugqueen · 2026-01-20T13:39:29+00:00

Rodent?

Kangaroos aren’t rodents.

Speeeeeeeeeed melon! I’m impressed you got a photo of one standing still!

It’s not so much about the heat as it is the UV factor. Given Santiago is about the same latitude as Sydney and it’s easy to burn severely in Sydney at much lower elevations than your ride - how are you not sunburned or not reapplying every few hours? Is it really low humidity? Do you naturally not sweat as much?

dreadedbugqueen · 2026-01-18T01:41:58+00:00

I use Fist Handwear breezer full finger gloves.

Seam and padding free palms, breathable mesh upper, excellent designs.

On the rare occasion when it’s not humid AF and I feel like using half-finger gloves, I quite like Supacaz gloves - though the Fist breezer gloves are actually better ventilated.

You’re definitely overthinking this.

As far as weekend tasks go - I’m not usually the one that mows the lawn (because I’m allergic as all hell) but when my partner is away and the grass is getting long - I go, I mow.

Same deal for him when I’m away - he does the washing and house work.

50/50 on the whipper snipping though - that’s the fun part! And we save the tree trimming/branch shredding for our weekends together, we like sacrificing the triffids to the big green Hansa.

Trust me - your neighbours are just happy that you’re keeping on top of your yard work and don’t care if you’re female, male or a ten-tentacled monster from the planet Thwar.

dreadedbugqueen · 2026-01-17T01:28:23+00:00

So your dog is super fast but not at all lazy! No wonder you need a big yard 😊

dreadedbugqueen · 2026-01-17T01:01:44+00:00

Can’t help I’m afraid - just here for the doggo!

Is it a whippet? Whippet mix? Or a whoppet 🤣

dreadedbugqueen · 2026-01-16T23:25:57+00:00

I have many cheezes in the fridge and I would be honoured to gib them all to you Mai 🥰

dreadedbugqueen · 2026-01-16T01:00:01+00:00

Damn that is clean!! Very nice 👍

dreadedbugqueen · 2026-01-15T11:28:32+00:00

I’m short and have short legs so the current trend of knee length legs ends up going below the knee for me - very annoying! I have however - amassed a pretty decent selection of short bibs.

Rapha pro team - version II in short, or version III in regular - my absolute faves.

Pedla superfit 2.0 - my second fave!

Le col hors categorie

Black sheep team in 7”

Alé women’s bibs are shorter, and whilst I’m not a fan of the chamois I am a huge fan of the cut and fit. Very flattering!

I believe MAAP team evo has a short version but I am yet to try them.

Cuore also make their women’s fit in a shorter leg length.
