The contrast of her black fur against the pink lining almost looks 'shopped. Look at that cute bundle!

I broke the connecting strap of my little shoulder bag 🙁
As today is a chill day before footy tonight, I'm venturing out for a new one

Thank you all for voting in the f&c vs. home salmon competition. Your input was greatly appreciated in assisting with this monumental decision. Strong start for the f&c party but some very compelling arguments for home salmon later in the day. I was changing my mind every 5 mins. My entire ethics and personality were at stake...
However, i regret to betray everyone's enthusiasm and inform you all that out of nowhere a third, unexpected candidate appeared about an hour into my salon experience and increasingly gained on the others despite a complete lack of campaigning. In the end, for the reasons outlined below, I went with this reliable third party.
The winner: fish curry and calamari masala from MKS Spices.
thank you and please enjoy your respective dinners. 🍽️ 🍛 🍲

-
I feel cheated!
Glad you were able to stock up though. 🙂
-
Yes, I grabbed some frozen cluster beans as well (I always have a craving for this but you can't ever get it fresh here). All in all a good outcome. Next two weeks will be busy so f&c remains an option then.

This is the equivalent of if Pauline Hanson unexpectedly won the federal election somehow at the last minute
-
No, it's the Greens goddammit! Pauline wouldn't put up with curry. She's the original f&c proprietor

I'm in such a good mood tonight and there's a vanilla slice and a cuppa waiting for me. 🙂
-
yay and yum 🙂
-
-
right, that's it. today's over. Everyone go home.
-
The bed and bedside tables have now been picked up. The dining chairs and Miss Meow's new cat trees are in the van as well, I'm going to pack as much other stuff as I can around all that to take up tomorrow.
The mop to go with the mop bucket arrived today, so I'm all set to give the floors a quick once over to remove whatever dust has settled. The carpets can get a quick vacuum on a later visit.
-
good luck with rest of the move
-

New attitude makes work a lot better.
While I'm there I'm in the zone. Then I'm done.
Nice and easy.
-
That's great to hear. I am glad. I hope the new joint is working out better too.
I've had a couple of long days and have done four days in the office but that's actually helped my put it down after work. And finally starting to feel that work life split again. Stopped and stared at the water for a bit on the way home. Baby steps.

Trying my hand at digitising the slides from Nepal from 1998/9 on the cheap.
Basically 1970's high end german projector (with its original bulb!) showing slides on a white wall in the living room.. piccys / slides originally taken by a 1980's olympus analog cam then taking a photo with my pretty ordinary dslr.
Actually surprised it doesn't seem like the worst idea.

looks great on my screen

I wonder what the food's like in the conclave. I'm thinking a choice of 3 pastas, 3 sauces, carvery, soft serve etc. A bit like Smorgy's.
-
i think they probably get food delivered to their private rooms
they must have huge kitchens at that place, like a palace , it's both a workplace and a home to hundreds
-
Tv dinner it is.
-
-
All you can eat Chinese buffet
-
With copious amounts of red wine and a fortune cookie
-
-
I was thinking this last night. Do they keep it super simple and palatable? Lots of countries and palates to represent ... not sure if they get a ham and cheese sandwich and a juice box for lunch?
-
Not on Fridays. They bring in spag marinara on Fridays.
-
Maybe lasagne and garlic bread on the side. Everyone loves lasagne. Also they must ALL eat the garlic bread.
Whatever it is the nun's will be busy.

Probably not current information.

Ants 🐜 🐜🐜
-
I have a love hate relationship with ants
I do not want them in my house and spent the first 2 weeks in the new place battling invasions
but I do want them in my orchids as they have a symbiotic relationship with orchid living funguses , a symbiosis that nurtures growth and flowering
-
-
it's fun but they have such serious looks on their faces
-
-
Long ass day.
The extended cat family and the fluffy freeloader have been fed.
Maybe I get to eat now?
-
they look so healthy and their fur so silky
you must be feeding them the best food there is 🐱
another thing, I bet they are keeping the local mouse population down 👍

I was summoned by my first name from my kid last night. The nerve of toddlers man! I was a bit disappointed. I was like "noooo.... my name is daddy" which I'm pretty sure just made it funnier to him.
-
today at the beach i found 60% of a tenner, a ball of fishing line ( which I picked up and threw in nearest rubbish bin)
it was cold, nek time I wear a slicker over jumper and a wooly hat
blue heron was there 🙂
-
I don't know if it's still the case but you used to be able to redeem partial bills in Australia. Who knows, a bank might give you $6 for it.
-
it's pretty beat up got a rip and ink has worn off too
I'll keep it as a beach find 🙂

it's oodie time ☃️

Was just thinking I'll need to bust mine out this weekend. I'm loving being able to get all cosy and cuddly again
-
-
I’m on a mobile and wondered why the bot chose the poo emoji for today’s thread, lol
-
May harvest (!).
Throwing a habs in dins tonight which I'll probably regret. Because the watering system has been off for a bit they could be a bit hawt.
-
Wrecked.
Cat brushes and bed.
Goodnight all ❤️

More Temu has arrived. I may have gone a touch overboard on the suction cup hooks.

Not possible!

Oh no Bacon! Don't stay out too long. Here is a 🛏️ (I made sure to chase the 😈🤡🤠💀👹🧟🧌🕴🏽 away)

It indeed looks empty and safe. Thank you.

Poor bacon. Here, have some 🫚🫖

Thank you mother.

Get well soon 🥣

Thank you that is delicious

What the hell bro. There two of the same number trams one after the other. I decided to get on the second one because way more empty. Second tram driver signalling at me like crazy to get on the first one instead?? Why. They still stopped and let me on but why you gotta be like that
-
Miss Meow fully approves of the new L shape scratcher. So far she has been indifferent to the corner scratcher, I'll have to wait and see if she feels like investigating it after a nap.
I've also put plastic guards along the front of the couch and armchairs, which is her preferred scratching area but not mine.

Got home from work yesterday and had an absolute meltdown on boyo, so took it as a sign to have today off and apply for some more jobs. Beach walk, yummy brunch, some applications done, following along with Erin Patterson's trial.
Also bought Expedition 33 last night!
-
I've taken the old work laptop home and I thought I'd try Bazzite on it. Apparently Fedora based distros don't play well with Dell so if I still can't get it to work I might try PopOS instead. Failing that, Mint Debian edition.
-
Have you tried running Blorkfoot with a third party Fuggleslap interface?
Yeah I've got no idea what you're talking about 😁
-
I don't know a single tech word you wrote other than dell
-
It's the fun world of tinkering with Linux. It actually makes computers interesting again, I'm always on the lookout for old gear to put it on and playing with different versions now.
-
-
Apparently Fedora based distros don’t play well with Dell
Why?
-
That's what the IT guy at work said. It feels odd given Dells are work computers mostly. There seems to be a GNU bash issue both times I've flashed it onto the thumb drive so I'm not sure if it's the laptop or the media at this point.
-
-
Why bazza? I thought that was a gaming distro? I was gonna try it on my gaming pc when w10 shits itself.
-
It does have a graphics card, and I want to check it out somewhere. I've got a gaming PC with w10 at the moment too, so this will be a good test run before I decide on a setup for the rig

I have a few sets of spare towels. 1 set are old and used for drying the dog and the odd water spill etc. 1 set are ornamental, new, never been used but are still functional. 1 set are new Sheridan towels that may have come from a fancy hotel.
Which ones do I keep for emergencies and/or drying the dog and which ones do I donate?
-
I would keep them all for the future, either to personally use, for household use or for the dog.
-
The thing is they take up a whole self in the linen press and the newer ones never get used and they're white which I hate.
That's not including the 2 regular towels the man and I have each and the 5 the kid has and the 2 for drying hands.
There's too many towels in this house for 3 people and a little dog!

Cold.....

Chilling in Pender Park before my haircut. This is a pretty cute little park, great trees, gorgeous in the autumn sun.
Help me decide, should I get f&c nearby the salon after my haircut or should I go buy some salmon to pan fry with some air fryer chips? I'm a bit loathe to cook and clean but it might also be good for me nervous system to do something with my hands and I can probably get more salmon for less $ if I do it myself. Otoh, I'm not that tight for cash atm and I kind of like the dopamine hit of the f&c. I have plenty of time to bulk cook this weekend.
-
Salmon and air fryer chips. ( mix together some wasabi and mayo for a little zing sauce )
The idea of takeaway f&c is better than the actual thing and there’s always a comedown period of regret after.
Excuse me while I shower in downvotes now.
-
Fish and chips cooked at home is nice but it doesn't scratch the specific itch that fish and chips does. Do it.
Maybe some craft to keep your hands busy? Or cleaning?
-
#DIY. It's not much cleaning, likely more healthy and better for your wallet.
-
F & Cs
-
I nearly bought a unit overlooking that park, but in the end chose not to. The local f&c is good though.
-
The answer is always f&c. Edited to add: I am so very lucky to live coastal and have a variety of fantastic greasy shops to chose from so that sways my decision!
-
Salmon, because I know you wanted it the other night.

Got a new vet today and he refused to perform cystocentis due to Melbcat having had 2 recently (?). Sent us home with pain relief to get a sample the traditional way despite how hard and unreliable it is with her.
Cut to Melbcat being very sooky and unwell tonight, getting a sample hours after closing but being unsure when she did it, and having to uber the dodgy sample in tomorrow while exhausted with no supports on. I’m going to ring the clinic on opening tomorrow and ask that antibiotics be dispensed when I bring it in because she absolutely has a uti.
If he had just listened to me she could have begun treatment tonight 😒
-
A couple of Temu packages have already arrived this morning. Some plastic shelves are the wrong colour and a plastic bin is warped out of shape, but most of the stuff is not too bad. One small rug/mat I don't remember ordering, so I will have to investigate what it is supposed to be. Miss Meow's window hammock looks good, and I think she'll like the window-mounted toy with ping pong balls inside too.
Edit: looks like I did order the mat, although I can't remember where I was planning to put it. I have four external doors in the new place though, so it certainly won't go astray.

Time to watch a new episode of Poker Face 🃏🎴🚬

Once I finish Animal Kingdom I'll definitely be watching S2 of poker face!

Today I am listening to a vintage LP of "Adventures with Skippy the bush kangaroo" , here's YT of it
it's so different to the tv series, this is written for radio and has Skippy's origin story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvxKHoAJeMI
maybe growing up watching Skippy is what makes me enraged when I see people illegally fishing, ostensibly with no consequences
-
Work laptop is out of my hands as I don't have the bitlocker key. Boss said to just leave the unfinished work with everyone else and to go focus on uni... Thanks, universe! One less excuse to procrastinate. I'm still feeling off kilter and lethargic as fuck. Haircut later this arvo. I should do some uni work today before tomorrow's meeting but we'll see... I kinda need to get out of this funk and recharge properly. Looks like a good day for a walk and a nap under a tree
