I just need your address and a brick. What day would you like it to be? I’ll warm up my swingin’ arm.

I taught the boys to wave at busses and they do it without fail now. I think it’s time to take them for a ride on a bus
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Don’t forget the trains! Some drivers will toot if kids wave, to add extra excitement
Nath@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Once the driver let my kid actually toot the horn. He was our neighbor and knew us. That was 2016 and it’s a core childhood memory. The kid is still obsessed with trains.

I do believe it is time for a public transport adventure

Sometimes around Monday/Tuesday I passed a milestone of six months on my running streak. Every day since October 16, I’ve gone for a run. I’ve averaged about 6 hours a week running, or roughly 24 hours running every 4 weeks.I wonder whether I’ll make it to a year? It would mean not getting sick for a year. Seems unlikely.
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Right on. Currently my body can only handle about every second day. So my day streak is perpetually on 1.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 8 months ago
You’re an absolute machine, holy shit. 👌💪💪
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Wow that’s a fantastic effort! Well done!
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Note to self…wear a mask when you vacuum the pre filter in the air cleaner so you don’t cop a face of all that dust out the back of the vacuum…☹️. Hopefully there’s some antihistamines still lurking in the cupboard from spring…
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Oooo. I got one. Keep your mouth closed when scrubbing the toilet bowl.
Mittens_meow@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I learned that the hard way. How dumb can I possibly be 🤣
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Ewww but also 🤔 Good point
tone212_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Successful day in the garden. Grass mowed for first time in months, weeds pulled, plants pruned, leaves collected, green bin is full. Perfect day for it.
Mittens_meow@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Got my mowing done today too. Tomato plants still growing , very odd. Snow peas are going nuts.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Just a day of tidying and cleaning then dinner with friends. :)
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Morning all. Going to my parents’ for lunch, so for now I await pickup
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I feel very Melburnian today. Instead of my usual cuppa tea I French pressed some coffee. I should go and line up at a register at Coles with my puffer jacket on and buy some croissants for that all round Melbourne experience.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 8 months ago
You buy your croissants from Coles and not the expensive bakery or food store that’s mostly a cafe?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Yep. Coles or Aldi’s 3 pack for me.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Does one of your neighbours have a greyhound in a jumper you can borrow?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Not that I’m aware but I have seen a nice looking husky trot past a few times.

Was it frozen?
Nath@aussie.zone 8 months ago
What kind of barbarian eats lasagne frozen?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Living on the edge
( I ate 3 weeks out of date eggs last week. I did not survive. )
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Where were they stored? Or were they cooked already?
I swear I’ve cooked fridge stored eggs waaaay beyond use-by and have mostly been okay.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Hypothetical situation.
You are having an extremely busy week at work. You have to bring your work home with you, to the point where you’re not having time for much else, like taking care of yourself.
You have a partner you don’t live with. You tell your partner you can’t see them for a couple of weeks because you’re too busy and having trouble coping. What do you do as the partner in this situation?
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Drop some dinners off, maybe offer to help with laundry
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 8 months ago
+1
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
yup, drop off faves and give a kiss on the cheek
take laundry to do at my place
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Hell yes.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Offer some help if I can, even if it’s just to listen to some venting. Maybe take dinner over when things settle down.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Offer to help.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Say
It’s ok. I’m here if you want. Send me messages .It’s up to you.
Is there anything I can do to help, like bring meals over, make pots of coffee or do stuff around the house. Promise not to take up time.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Sky pretty. A lovely warm soft pink/orange.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I accidentallied my fried rice attempt into more like a congee… Tastes good but
Duenan@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Mmmm coffee
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
so lovely and sunny out there 🌞
Catfish@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I have run out of Malevolent Ghos
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Is that a good or a bad thing? 🤔
Catfish@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Middling Bad. It’s a hot sauce that didn’t quite live up to it’s name but is still pretty decent.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Heyyo!!!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Hi. 😊

Everyone else is sleeping it seems.

Being overseas I’m reminded once again that cafe culture and laneway art is really not unique to Melbourne and yet it’s spruiked here as tbe best thing since sliced bread.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I always found that really kind of, I don’t know, a bit sad I guess? It’s all we have to celebrate culture wise in a way. Or I’m misreading the vibe.
wscholermann@aussie.zone 8 months ago
It feels like clutching at straws for something to celebrate about the city. The truth is the city of Melbourne itself is nothing remarkable.
It’s all the things just outside it that are nicer ie Dandenong Kinglake national park Wilson’s prom great ocean road etc.
Nath@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Nah there is always something going on in Melbourne. Cricket, Australia Open, Formula One, Moomba (usually), Comedy Festival, AFL, etc etc. Then there are dozens of little festivals throughout the year. Plus there are several theatres and concerts always happening.
You don’t really see it all when it’s all you’ve known. But it’s a lot.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I feel like Melbourne is at best middling amongst tourist cities. There’s not any great architecture, natural wonders like mountains or harbour, no history due to being a young city, no particular cultural vibe. It’s nice enough but it’s not a destination city. Way more interesting places to visit.
Nath@aussie.zone 8 months ago
My theory is that Melbourne’s awful weather is the cause. The city has adapted to have a lot of indoor type options to go. There’s a lot of exploring involved. I don’t know where it started, I think one of the first was The Waiter’s restaurant - a place that ignores all the rules of being on the main drag and trying to attract customers. This place is hidden up stairs down an alley up the end of Bourke St. It’s been there since the 40’s.
People like finding these hidden places and Melbourne has loads of them. It isn’t unique around the world, I’m sure, but Perth sure doesn’t have hidden places like this.

I worked at Meyers place bar below for about four years.

I’ve been having a headache that’s as much nausea as head pain. Don’t tell me the migraines are back. Then again dark chocolate is sometimes a headache trigger for me.
I’m having insights that are telling me I need to get good at art fundamentals but I don’t have the discipline to practice. It’s so boring and stressful to make yourself fail for the purpose of learning and draw incomplete imperfect things. Right now it seems to be enough of a challenge to get through each day.
Catfish@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I have been earwormed by one of my AI song versions that I already deleted. This is a special new sort of frustration!
Baku@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I still haven’t been able to figure out what went wrong with the computer before but it hasn’t happened again, and I’m hoping it stays like that. My driver was out of date so I updated it but that’s about all I’ve done.
I did notice some funkiness in HWMonitor though. My copy utilisation was being… Weird. It was normal, then I checked 20 minutes later, and HWM reported it peaked at 8000%. I thought that was weird but just chalked it up to an error. Then half an hour later it was saying it had peaked at 54,645%. Now it’s saying it peaked at “18112064992…%” and my 3D utilisation apparently peaked at 9027.2%. I’ve got no clue what’s causing that, but there’s that ig.
I’ve also kept an eye on the other values and nothing seems too out of place, although apparently it’s dedicated RAM has ranged from 400Mhz to 6001Mhz. The temperatures have not gone above 48c.
So key takeaway: idk what’s going on, I’m just hoping it doesn’t happen again

Dating in Melbourne is hopelessly destitute, and that’s a generous description.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
wtf, who was the genius who fucked up the presentation of la times sunday crosswords
can’t see all the clues anymore, can’t cross reference anything visually
I do the whole puzzle, not just one letter at a time
just_kitten@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I can’t even bear to finish For All Mankind because it got so ridiculous and poorly written.
Instead blasted through Shrinking and even though the writing is a little on the nose with the modern vernacular, it is really breezy, hilarious and sweet and just what I needed 😊
It’s such a fun show, makes me wish I had boisterous Americans as friends for a second *. Also, I absolutely loved uber-sarcastic Harrison Ford, he absolutely killed it.
- while forgetting how insanely privileged/unrealistic it is for these people to have so much free time… and for the main character not to be deregistered as a therapist ages ago for having his client live in his own house lol.
Slow Horses or Criminal Records next, maybe. Yo ho ho.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I drank a bottle wine with dinner and think I have a hang over already. 🥴
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 8 months ago
That friend I was talking about the other day, the one who had that breakup.
He’s completely imploded. He’s done some stuff that’s basically pushed almost all his friends away. Just crazy stuff, like stealing from friends etc
I’m taking a biiiiig step back.
It’s sad to see, but I don’t think I’m going to have much to do with him for a long while.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 8 months ago
How does one go from a break-up to stealing?
I mean stupid drunk stuff, I get?
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 8 months ago
He was trying to get back at her by stealing some of her stuff. Fucking moron.
StudChud@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Oh damn, I’m so sorry :/ But definitely better to look after yourself and keep yourself safe!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
It is sad.
I’m so sorry. That person is either some kind of psycho or is on a tragic self destructive streak.
