Out for dins w/ p's and bro and SIL had to leave.
Not the best night.
oh well.
It’s really hard when things aren’t great with fam, and you’ve got such a difficult situation there. I totally get the whole ‘be polite and keep the peace out of respect’, but still having to deal with how shit some situations are
Found out from a big former client of mine that they're leaving.
Hahaha fuck yes!
They brought in over $100k in revenue a Month!
Bought a dozen eggs on my way home. ALL of them were rotten. The best before date still had 3 weeks to go. If using eggs, crack them into a bowl before adding them to dinner folks, for your own protection. I reckon they must be scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel now in the egg warehouses.
Domestic next door. Apparently teen needs to 'stop freaking out over stupid stuff'. Yelling will certainly help that 🙄
4th last day in this place and a particular co-worker has the cheek to ask me for something.
He has been referred to the manager with a reminder that my official policy for this week is "I ain't doing shit"
Above your post, it said 44 minutes ago, and I read 44th last day. Oops.
Hahaha....even I'm not that bad. 44 days left I'd still do some work.
Thanks guys for the well wishes. Back home now having a couple of coldies outside in the yard.
Cheers 🍻 congrats 🥳
Thanks cobber 🍺
Still drinking and playing music and laughing.
Good morning. Quiet night. Everyone sleeping well in the cold autumn nights.
Had a really good sleep but needed more of it, very vivid dreams last night.
Monster horde, robots, Maccas, an odd combination of dreams,
It truly is the best sleeping season of the year. Rugged up nights and brisk mornings that turn warm.
Pure bliss.
So, so much better than those hot muggy nights! I'm loving it. My favourite time of the year is here!!
Autumn nights are best for sleeping. 🙂
Yyyyyyep
In bed by ten, slept straight through. It was lovely
Good morning. Yes I slept much better in the cold.
Two weeks off reddit. I'm not sure if it's made a difference. Nice not reading about the finer details of the various northern hemisphere's many issues.
It's been about 3 months for me and I have to tell you, I feel a shit tonne better.
I’m still on reddit for sports and gaming subs.
Self contained areas and generally focused and with their own quirks occasionally, especially true of gacha subs.
i still look at reddit smoll cats , tv show subs, movies, and a very little politics
the big newspapers are depressing , they are skewing the news , I know it
Washing done, air filters cleaned, dishwasher cleaned, oven cleaning started. Now I'm steeling myself for a fridge cleanout. There are a few things in there that have reached the goo stage (cucumber seems to turn into a liquid state very easily).
how goods a chicken enchilada! its even got some veggies in it, by my reckoning that makes it healthy.
Meat, veggies, cheese wrapped in something is always a hit.
sounds delicious 🙂
Just got off an hour long call with an old friend. Met them 5 jobs ago (almost 10yrs ago now), and we've been friends since.
I'm relieved he's okay, he's up in brissy, but didn't lose power or get flooded. Phew!
Hopefully I'll see him again when he comes down to Melbs in May.
I'm glad I called!
me wan slep
It is the slepy time, it is the time for slep
over whelmed by packing has started.
I think I should concentrate on totally finishing a room at a time.
Yesterday I wore a t-shirt (big almighty gasp) and pretty much everyone around me wore long sleeves? I'm the one who has poor circulation and gets cold easily.
I ended up putting a jacket on when I got a tiny bit cold, but otherwise I was fine? Maybe it was because I was walking quite a bit.
I'm in a t-shirt and pants this morning, and to my surprise I noticed a lot of jumpers / coats being worn on my way to the office. The only change I've made so far is from shorts to pants, and it'll be shorts weather again by this arvo.
it's also tshirt and light jacket weather for the tropical meat, but yes i have been walking quite a bit too
every day something horrifying out of america 😞
No news is good news as they say. Not the case now.
indeed
When news stops what does a person do?
I suppose what people in the SSR used to do. Keep a diary.
I think the saddest thing I have heard this week, and i have a lot going on, is the loss of Voice of America. All those old movies where you see people in communist or fascist countries huddled around a contraband home made radio listening to news, they were listening to Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, Voice of Liberty .
There is BBC World Service still and now it is more vital than ever.
Anything in particular or just continuation of the bullshit since Donnie took power?
just a continuation
I can't look away. It's incredible.
At least the anti Musk protesters have doubled down after Trump's threats of prosecution (ie, if they damage a Tesla they're terrorists, lol) This is the spirit the US needs!
This bloke is interesting - claims to be an independent observer/commentator Paul Warburg.
I enjoy his insights/observations. He seems to me to be a voice of reason in a very unreasonable situation. His analysis is I think worth listening to.
I got bitten by a spider in my sleep a couple nights ago. I haven't turned into Spiderman (yet) but the itching is crazy. I tried applying vinegar on the bite, which is what happened to me growing up when I got bitten by mozzies. It worked a bit but doesn't last long enough, have just purchased something stronger from the pharmacy.
take care with that , hugs
Engelbert Humperdinck - Can't take my eyes off you
The funniest name in the biz.
My mum and dad's song was "12th of never" by Johnny Mathis. Same era. Played it at mums funeral. Can't hear it now without bawling but in a good way. Love the classics
Congrats on the the 20 🍻
Know it well. Such a beautiful song!
Thanks. 🍻
Another long long day and I'm feeling so bleah about having to go sit down and do my uni stuff now... I want a treat to motivate myself... but I gotta keep things tight until Friday. And frankly I've been putting on a bit recently
Morning y’all
Saw hot air balloons on the drive in this morning. It's always nice seeing them do their thing
Cut my finger on the packet while getting a strepsil. Put strepsil in mouth then thoughtlessly put cut finger in mouth too. Yowch
Pakidge arrive early.l! I has a disapoint. Image vs reality. Poo.
Is it food?
No, a full door decal. It's a bit meh when seen at actual.size.
I'm pretty glad to be out in the field for work on a stunning day like this but really nervous about having enough time and energy to prep my uni data all in one night (a chunk of manual work remains). At least I only need to leave the house around 10am so if I need to push on through till 1am I can do it. Was working till 11:15pm last night to get the bit of desktop work due today out of the way...
Huh. Online friend completely deleted their profile and all their stuff. Another is going through something heavy and will be scarce. Yet another is wrapped up in a big project.
Health bad.
Things are not coming up Melbhouse.
I hope things turn around for you soon. We’re here for you.
so many gentle hugs
The strong boxes to pack my LPs have arrived. Those records weigh a ton.
hmm who had that coke alternative recipe?
Peeler.
sends up @PeelerSheila@aussie.zone signal
People are starting to wear layers. I don't get it. I'm still just wearing a polo and absolutely basking in the cool morning air
problem is by midday you gotta strip them all off anyway. Suppose thats the point in layers.
I layer the same all year round. Good quality t-shirt, button-up shirt and chinos. If mornings dip below 10, I throw on a light jacket. Winter the heavy jacket comes out.
real heads wear a short sleeve shirt with a big jacket over the top so you're either too hot or have to strip away to nothing. No inbetween

Craving lobster ramen, so thinking I’ll give Snow Monkey Ramen a shot. Unless anyone else has a recommendation?
You got a connect for monkey meat?
Am impressed.
monkey meat
Indy's gotchu
Somehow I didn't know lobster ramen was a thing but now I am very curious as well. Let us know how it goes!
I had it at Unabara Lobster & Oyster Bar yeeeears ago and it was so nice! I've been eyeing off Snow Monkey for a while though, so I reckon I'll give them a shot. Keep ya posted!
lobster
I remember a few years ago when WA lobsters were $20 a pop for a while here for some reason.
They were good days.
Right?! That was an excellent time. Except for, you know, everything else going on...
anyone after a full on 17u server rack? my local buy nothing group has one for free
Bill comforting Ted after he got in trouble. Bill staring daggers at me. ( I feel like a monster but Ted got into my calligraphy works 😞 )
That's adorable (sorry for your calligraphy but it's lovely seeing bill comfort ted 😍)
Edit: honestly with the backstory that is an incredible photo
they are good boys and have been so well behaved considering their home is in a state of confusing upheaval 🐱😞
They really are brothers now
