I don’t draw very often, but when I do I surprise complete strangers with pictures of their pets

You are extremely talented! This is amazing!!! 😍😍😍
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Aww thankyou!

Just bought a bit of local art so I’ll have a tiny bit of the border at home. Man, I’d live up here if I could.
Nath@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Don’t you mostly work from home anyway? You can do that from Mildura and still wander into the office once or twice a month, couldn’t you?
bull@aussie.zone 2 years ago
We’re meant to be in the office 2 to 3 days a week. Even once a week would be too much to live too far away, which is about what we actually do.

Gooood morning! I feel HEAPS better today - maybe it’s that feeling you get when any improvement after being sick feels way better than it is. I had the same experience when I had covid tho, had a day of feeling great then crashed again and got worse. Fingers crossed today is not false hope! The sun is really helping! 🌞
I’m putting all the car stuff on hold because I realise it was a huge source of stress and anxiety and unpleasantness that I need a break from (and everything essential has been set up - aside from maybe the dashcam. I feel naked without one).
Instead I’m turning my attention to my hideously neglected plants… they were becoming a source of shame and my seedlings I paid money for are horribly wilted and sad. Well, they’re currently being resuscitated in a saucer of water and everything else is getting several drinks to revive the potting mix. I can turn this around! These seedlings aren’t dead, and I have plenty of new seeds to start planting!
Also, need tips on what to do with a whole heap of scotch bonnet peppers… I grew the plant without really thinking of how much I’d actually want to use 🤔 I have like 30 little yellow dudes. Maybe this is the time I try making hot sauce?
peppers!!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 years ago
OOOH.
I vote for hedging your bets… half dehydrated for flakes and half fermented hawt sauce :)
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 years ago
I don’t use chilli flakes that much these days tbh… I feel like they’d get wasted from lack of use. Unless I could start using them in saucier dishes or stews? I mostly used to use flakes for stir fried type stuff, or as a topping with cheese (haven’t bought cheese in months).
I understand SB peppers are known for their fruitiness, I’m wondering how much of that is lost or not during dehydrating - how are they like dried?
I thought I’d freeze maybe 3-5 whole for chucking into Jamaican stews down the track. And the hawt sauce would be more versatile (I just need to sterilise a damn jar)
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Huh. Apparently I’m not crazy. My random allergies/reactions plus issues with scent could be related to an autoimmune disorder.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 years ago
so many hugs
Mittens_meow@aussie.zone 2 years ago
MCAS?
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Yeah, it’s a possibility
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 years ago
I’m ready for bed. One of the advantages of being sick. No guilt for a super early night. Enjoy your evenings ❤️

Just had shouty man in kew on high street yell at me “YOU LOOK LIKE A FUCKIN’ 1970’s PORNO STAR” as I walked past. Yelled it about 5 times.
Now when dudes say they never get compliments it’s not always true.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Hey dude! That’s my shouty man!
Good on you for actually deciphering what he was saying, I usually can’t make head or tail except for the odd word here or there.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 years ago
You must have luscious hair and a magnum moustache lol
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Last year I planted a spare eggplant seedling in a patch of ground that doesn’t really get enough sun. Today it thanked me with two eggplants 🙂🍆🍆 (real vegetable eggplants for all you gutter-minded people).
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 years ago
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Ah. So that’s what eggplants looked like back then. Interesting.

International eggplant thankfulness day
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 years ago
I grew some last year, there weren’t many fruit but the few there were really delicious
Maybe that’s what it like to grow them
dumblederp@aussie.zone 2 years ago
I hope Hongohones is doing well but I don’t miss being told off for not engaging with their posts enough.
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 years ago
I’m sure she is okay and living her best life, telling other how to live theirs 😂
Baku@aussie.zone 2 years ago
DT drama? What’d I miss?
dumblederp@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Using the DT as an interactive journal then getting flustered when people weren’t interacting. I liked their vibe until we were all frauds for not being supportive enough.

I was driving through Rutherglen when I had the thought to buy dad a bottle of port because apparently that area is famous fortified wine country. Went to the top winery google suggested but they didn’t have any, but the guy there pointed me towards another winery up a back road and I ended up getting a lesson and impromptu tastings from the very friendly lady there at Chambers Rosewood Vineyards. Turns out fortified wines are pretty nice!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Can personally vouch that the wineries there are good.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Let the laundry begin
oztrin@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Well getting up when the energy was buzzing was the right strategy - I’ve burned through the sorting and clearing so the old bed which was used as a general sorting spot is cleaned off, the bedside table which I’ll be using as a TV stand temporarily is cleaned out, and I have a stack of stuff ready to go to the op shop.
I’m at the zombie stage so I’ve just crawled back into bed and hopefully I’ll get some more sleep.bacon@aussie.zone 2 years ago

@Seagoon_ Quiet Saturday night in. Wifey and the fur babies are all fast asleep already.
We ended up having Korean for dinner tonight (instead of last night), it was spicy and delicious.
I've also done the washing for the week and changed the beds.
Next week will be busy. We're going to a concert Tuesday night, and I'm taking Thursday and Friday off. Wifey has a surprise planned for Thursday too.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 years ago
yeah, I’m hanging around doing odd bits of housework and messing round on puter
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 years ago
argh, it’s not that I can’t stop thinking of elephants, I can. it’s that I can’t think of anything else 😹🐘
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 2 years ago
And why would you want to? Elephants are the best 🐘
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Because there is more to the world than elephants.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 2 years ago
The Aldi gluten-free fish bites are yum. And the directions on the packet accurate. Recommend.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 years ago
That weird time of day where I want to do nothing at all but also something because otherwise I’ll go to sleep. Maybe I’ll go do the groceries…
ajsadauskas@aus.social 2 years ago
@Seagoon_ @melbourne So the hangover fairy visited last night, and I'm never drinking wine again.*
* This week.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 years ago
a hangover is a sign that tells you you have to build up better tolerance
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 years ago
damn i picked up a virus, fever in the mornings and a runny nose
but after a long sleep in I feel ok 🤷♀️
now onto lists and tasks :)
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Me too. Just woke up with a sore throat and the sniffles. Urghhh

I have a wedding to go to on May 4. Is this a trap? Am I gonna be eating my dinner with nerdlings? I need to shop for some evenings wear now.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 2 years ago
I got a bad feeling about this…
bull@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Ahem… and what would be the problem with that? Sounding a bit like a scruffy nerf herde, am I right guys? <snortlaugh>
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 years ago
I don’t know what any of that means but I’ll share my thoughts. This couple are already married so I’m guessing this is just a reception that happens to fall on May 4. Is it a coincidence or is it gathering of adults dressed as Star Wars characters?
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 2 years ago

that time of the morning when the sun has just come up but all the stars are still out is so lovely
oztrin@aussie.zone 2 years ago
I’m obviously at the “wake up at odd hours buzzing with energy” state of Operation Sort Shit. Hmm.
Anyway woke up at 2:50 >.< and gave up at about 3 and got up to sort things outand fiddle around on Sims 2 which is all my ancient laptop will run.Am starting to feel sleepy so will keep on until I start seriously sagging.MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Mowed the lawn this morning.
Gym workout after.
Went for a walk.
Kebabs for dinner.
Great Saturday by all accounts.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 2 years ago
This is really weird. My kindle just reset itself, and most (not all, which is even weirder) of my books are gone. Including the one I was halfway through
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 2 years ago
I don’t know what I want to do today

CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 years ago
We need to see pics!
Eagle@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Ironically, she turns into super dooper zoomy dog when she’s dressed, so I don’t have any photos other than blurs passing like the speed of light!

I couldn’t resist while I’m on a drawing binge, but I ran out of time 😔

CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Omg. That’s beautiful! Thank you!
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Aww he’s so cute!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 years ago
omg, he is so adorable. 🥰
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 years ago
Thanks. Your boys would look adorable in one too but I guess you wanna keep your eyes.
