  If my garden is rockery style with large rocks, fifty spiky grass bush things and kangaroo paw, cornflowers etc really aren’t gonna mesh in there are they? But the house has formal hedges ….

    I have a formal hedge that I love creating chaos behind with lots of colour and texture, different heights and intersting plants. Like the hedge is holding it in from exploding and painting the world. In other words, plant your cornflowers. All the colours you can find!

    cornflowers would look lovely in your garden, growing up I remember blue native lilies growing in paddocks

  I went off to Coles because I’ve been sugar deprived and wanted some Malteser bunnies. Saw a young chick stacking the Easter shit and she asked me what I wanted and I told her and she picked a bag and I said “oh no not the kitkat they’re shit. All I see is a sea of purple”. I swear it just flew out. I thanked her and walked away then it dawned on me that perhaps she was a Cadbury rep and that’s why she was wearing purple. Oops.

  Anyway “WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY MALTESER BUNNIES COLES? I ASK 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND THEY SENT ME TO THE PURPLE. SOMEONE WILL GET HURT”.

    You wanted bunnies specifically right? Not eggs. For that authentic bunny flavour.

      I ended up with one of those. Not the same but I got desperate.

  Does anybody else love Vegemite sangas? It’s the first thing I eat when I buy fresh bread.

  • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Yes, especially when cheese is also involved.

  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    yes, they are delicious :)

    • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      You hear about peeps having it on toast but not a lot about the sanga. Fresh bread + Vegemite + butter = yummo.

  TIL we have a human development index for all the states and territories:

  The ACT ranks #1, we’re #4 and Tasmania is #8

  source

  • bull@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I don’t understand what this means. What’s a human development index and how does it relate to those numbers?

    source

    • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It means the rest of us in vic are 1/2 human.

      Yeah, it’s an odd measurement. I mainly care because it means we’re superior to tassieburgers :)

      Seriously though, it’s meant to measure things like poverty, literacy, unemployment, the things usually deemed essential in western societies. The worldwide chart seems to list the US quite high up though, so I’m not sure it really reflects anything besides “how well developed are rich people in western countries” vs “how undeveloped are the poorest people in the poorest countries”

  Movie review.

  The Seventh Seal with Max von Sydow. Youtube.

  Set in Medieval during the Black Death Sweden a Returned Crusader, his squire and a troupe of mummers meet Death.

  The story is about life, life is a mirror of our soul.

    About mummers ( medieval travelling actors) . If your name is King, Knight or Priest or some other title or religious title you probably had an ancestor who was a mummer who had that role in Passion Plays. I think I had an ancestor who played such a dramatic role.

  Anyone got a good removalist they can recommend, please? I don’t need it for the whole house, just some of the heavier things. South East burbs, if that helps!

  source

  • Eagle@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    We used Andy from here to move my Mum’s heavier things a few years ago. We usually move everything ourselves, but after you’ve hit 40, it’s time for the pros to do the heavy lifting.

    source

    • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Thank you! We’re managing most it by ourselves, but there’s a few outlier heavy things that we don’t want to risk any injury to move!
