Tomorrow is my 20th anniversary of arriving in Australia.
Boy itâs been a ride.
Happy anniversary!
Cheers cobba
đŸ
weâre lucky to have you đđ»
Tell that to the local BJJ communityâŠ
Thatâs so incredibly sweet. Thank you. Iâm actually blushing
Congrats!
I bought myself a market trolley today. Why did I not arrange this years ago?
A nanna trolly thing? Iâve had one for years and it has been brilliant. Almost essential purchase for inner-city apartment living.
It doubles as a normal trolly for boxes and other large things (but not anything crazy heavy) by taking the bag off.
Heck Iâve used one and an octopus strap to do a Vet run when the car wad broken.
nanna trolley? having a trolley is like a badge of honour for inner city living
Some bad shit going down in Bondi Junction. Hate to see that sort of news. At least it seems to be resolving with shoppers being allowed to leave after the centre locked down.
Current updates are that the offender has been shot and killed by police, 7 people including a baby were stabbed, but the condition of the victims hasnât been released

www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-13/âŠ/103705022 (live updates)
omg
Watching some of the updates. This is so distressing.
Hate to profile, but the bloke looks like some dero shit cunt (Iâm allowed the say that, cunt stabbed a baby the therefore thatâs what he is). Anyone wanna put money on he was known to police?!
We have GOT to do something about mental health in this country. And weâve gotta stop letting personal freedoms trump your risk to the greater public.
That sounds awful :(
Holy shit what the fuck
Yeah seems like some really deranged fucker going around stabbing people out of nowhere. Including a mum and baby!
Thank fuck he didnât have a gun
So beautiful!
Love you mum
Despite being a lab, heâs not motivated by food.
Milo functions exclusively on cuddles
Have had breakfast yet because I am being held down by my catâŠâŠ
Please blink if you have no arms free. May send drone with spoon

I have decided I am going on a holiday at home. Imma just gonna read books and do minimum around the house. There are a dozen antique travel books I havenât read yet, aka a Baedeker holiday as my Belgian neighbour used to say. The science and stuff books can wait.
Will have even more frozen food than usual. Might even get a cleaner in.
Digging away at Operation Sort Shit after it being suspended due to the lurgie. Finally starting to think I may just get it done.
Anyway entrance to Mumâs old room cleared and photos of Nanaâs old wardrobe and china taken and sent to the second hand place. Now having a breather and a coffee before I start again.
I love my in-laws, I do, but every time they vist Iâm reminded how awful tv is. Why are we watching the morning show and teleshopping shit?
Tvsn is the funniest shit on tv. Trying to convince the 3 people watching that they need to be quick to purchase the most ugliest jewellery for a half an hour live on tv is comical.
Delightfully sinful.
Pray tell what is this awesomeness Iâm looking at?
French toast w/mixed berry, drizzle of maple syrup, and powdered sugar
Today is an incredibly packed Saturday of chores. So many clothes and so much cooking. One item is a hand pounded chilli sambal that is gonna make my weak and flabby arm fall off (not possible to get the shallots right without pounding - mums recipe and I promised Iâd make it for a family lunch tomoz). Iâm en route to an event I signed up for months ago that I donât feel ready for but am going to anyway because I gotta live a little too⊠and I still have car and job things to sort out. Alright, I can do this, I can do thisâŠ
Meanwhile, local incoherent screamy guy has taken to high st today. I am surprised the bougie locals havenât agitated to have him moved to different housing yet. Unless he has, but heâs decided to come visit.
Last week there was a different dude up the street yelling at âfucking Belinda you fucking lying cuntâ. I suppose thatâs why the owners havenât upped my rent this year⊠that side of things is mostly quite manageable in the cool weather with the windows closed though.
Memor
School corridors filled with incense deodorant also triggers me.
We did have showers, but no doors so nobody used them. Gosh.
Public transport is a sensory nightmare also
Yeah. Iâm short enough to end up in peopleâs armpits.
The smell of Reef Tan and any kind of Impulse body spray for me
ooh impulse, thereâs a memory
today my non chic older womenâs outfit is a black skirt with a peasant print, from dangerfield, a black knit top and a marle vintage knitted jacket with embroidered leaves ( that might be a little small )
i still have longish black hair
You are totally Morticia in my head. This description only reinforces that image.
wife is away for the weekend, so I am home alone. Itâs by choice - I need to catch up on some work, needed some quiet time etc, but am feeling a little melancholy. Went for a long walk in this morningâs beautiful weather. Now feeling a little lost.
Nothing at all serious - I am perfectly fine, just⊠having a moment.
Order pizza, get drunk, jerk off. This is the way.
well, my equivalent is probably a long bath with a book and a cup of tea, but yes, I understand the principle
Quiet night with brie, bbq shapes and lap full of cats due to said brie
Thinking about heading to a park bass music rave (think DnB etc.) tonight but itâs a 3-4hr round trip commute by PT (bus⊠so no guarantees there) with 40mins of that walking hrmm⊠on the fence but theyâre always good timesâŠ
For reference it takes me 3hrs on PT to get to queenscliff on 3 connecting services which is 120km away. This thing is 10km away (kew to bulleen) and 2 services⊠crazy.
Maybe you should come over to my hood then lol. Thereâs some sort of event happening at the park. Theyâve been blasting doof doof since 4 oâclock, complete with lights and all the works. No clue what theyâre playing all I can hear is UNTZUNTZUNTZ which occasionally stops for somebody to yell and then everybody screams
Where do you find out about these events?
Itâs basically all fb.
But park parties are a bit rare these days.
II might need to severely cut down on or leave this other online group due to toxicity. I donât want to have to. :(
Feeling miserable and like shit. I wish I wasnât sick of Minecraft. Maybe Iâll find some singleplayer free game that works on Mac and bury myself in that for a while.
there is nothing wrong with leaving an online group to find one where youâll be happier , you havenât failed
Iâm on a few different groups that are based on tv or books and they are just fun and kind, find some like that. đ€đ
Tan Son Nhat airport really needs a facelift, Botox, fillers and everything else you can throw at it.
Still cleaner than Tullamarine though.
done my weekend morning shopping so i can comfortably watch half an hour of bluey tmr
This is the way.
I made a dating profile on Boo. My expectations are at the Mariana trench level.
Melbourne airport is a joke. Walked around for fifteen minutes trying to find a toilet that was free and with toilet paper.
Go to wash my hands and half the soap dispensers, taps and dryers broken.
Is this really the best we can do? To say nothing of the hodge podge layout and utterly forgettable interior design.
itâs been privatised so itâs better đ
Is there anything more stressful than airline checkin and security?
Yeah, that one time when there was a bright flash port side , just during takeoff, and then a flight crew person screaming âwhereâs the manual!!??â
That was a bit stressy.
An airline person aggressively changing their gloves?
lovely morning here and the start of a bit of a dry spell.
Quiet here tonight
What happened to the world waddler?
Itâs an odd game. You either know the country or you pull out Google maps to cheat. Which is what I just did now (still Fridayâs version here). I figured it was West Africa so went with two guesses I knew in the region and cheated from there.
It gets a bit samey after a bit. I expect thatâs what happened to our resident worlders.
I donât mean the game itself. Seagoon (I think) used to post scores every night, and then everybody else posted theirs.
After a gym session today I can definitely say eating healthy has made a really big difference.
Itâs like night and day. Despite the fact that Iâm already sick of chicken and vegetables every dinner, itâs worth it.
Can you prep 2 small batches of different carbs, 2 small batches of different proteins, then mix and match them with the vegies and use different sauces?
Thatâs actually a good idea. Iâve done this chicken and veg thing before for about a year, but itâs painful.
I started watching Fallout on Amazon.
It looks amazing, has one of my fave actors and he is gooood in this, Walter Goggins, the depiction of the war is very frightening, the heightened cold war under Reagan used to give me nightmares, this is also nightmare material. I might finish watching later. đ§ I just woke up from a nightmare about Iran. Itâs not looking good out there.
A walk, may as well go for a walk and breath in some eucalyptus laden air.
I have never seen a movie or TV show based on a video game that I liked, although the original Tomb Raider was fairly decent (and who doesnât like looking at Angelina?)
Goggins is terrific and your judgement on these matters is solid so I will give it a go.
I thought Castlevania was pretty great, I havenât seen much else.
I think Hitman was decent and Iâve see poeple talk about Last of Us and The Witcher but I think the rest are not so great.
Uncharted left me deeply scarred.
Some of the Resident Evils were ok if you ignored almost everything. WoW fit the so bad itâs good to laugh at box.
I donât remember anything about it now, but I enjoyed the first Resident Evil movie when it came out. I also never played the game, so Iâm not even sure if it counts.
Him and Olyphant were equal costars in Justified, that was such a good show
Apparently we are going on a day date to Timezone. Didnât realise those still existed. What horrendous plastic should I spend my copious tickets on?
G-Loc was my jam. Man I was good at that game.
Do not be deceived by the previous stones I possess, For I am still culturally imbued by lower socio economic housing estates, I once possessed very little but now I am bejewelled with riches, However fear not, I have not forgotten or forsaken my roots.
If you occasionally watch, or used to watch, or have been thinking about watching MMA, tomorrow is THE DAY to do so. Itâs UFCs biggest event in like 5 years: UFC 300. The fight card is ridiculously stacked with talent. The boss announced yesterday that the normal $50k bonuses for Fight of the Night, Performance of the night, and Lockout of the night will be increased to 300k!! Every fighter is massively incentivised to make their fights spectacular. Itâs going to be incredible. Early prelims start at 8am tomorrow, main card at 12pm.
You can watch early prelims and prelims on Kayo. If youâre interested in a list of bootleg links with pop-ups that is only semi reliable, DM me.
Anyone already watching. Enjoy!!!
I added way too much chilli to my beans and eggs đ„”đ„”đ„”

Hey. Just wanted to say thanks for all the comments yesterday. Weâre still in a fragile place but committed and still in love, so hopefully thatâll count for something. Counselling this morning - weâve been going regularly for a few years now - sometimes it helps, sometimes we donât talk for a while afterwards. Hoping today will be a productive and considerate session. Anyways, thanks yâall.
