Jeez that’s what the structure fire warning I saw earlier today was… middle of a hike and got to a rare spot with phone reception and an unexpected ping.

Guys, I think there’s somethinf wrong with Ozbargain. It’s meamt to help you save money, but instead it’s making me start a whiskey collection?
Has this happened to anyone else?
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Up early today. Cleaned house (family effort), mowed the lawn, went to the gym, had GyG for dinner…now chillaxing with beers with my feet up.
Gotta appreciate the little things.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I’m zonked from the gym. Early dinner, some music making and video games then off to bed.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I really really love electric blankets. In the top ten of humanity’s greatest inventions for sure.
Railison@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Fam from Queensland visit on occasion, are in awe of the electric blanket during winter visits
Taleya@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Plans for the day abruptly derailed by realisation of failing silicon job at base of shower wall right in the splash zone.
Try getting through marine epoxy grout you fucker
Railison@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Still, shower pan under tiles should keep things waterproof unless the membrane has failed?
Taleya@aussie.zone 6 months ago
-
60 year old house, 40 year old bathroom
-
failure was at the transition between wall tiles and pan

dumblederp@aussie.zone 6 months ago
grout attachment on an oscillating tool?
Taleya@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Old stuff was straight silicone, so lots of swearing, picks, blades…
SituationCake@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Tell it to respect your boundaries. If it doesn’t it’s getting cut out of your life.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 6 months ago
This kids gonna drive me insane and if he doesn’t the wife will. I said a 4pm nap was a bad idea, lo and behold who was right? 8pm and he won’t go to sleep. He’s gonna be up till 10pm again I can tell. And im a bad dad if I don’t do my part in helping fix a totally avoidable situation of my wife’s own creation.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Bad dad, no.
Bad partner…maybe.
Parenting is full of mistakes and misjudgments.
You and your wife are in the same team and need a united front.
One fucks up, the other fixes it.
It gets worse when kids become toddlers and older.
Take it on the chin, help out and keep it in your pocket as a favour in the future 😁
I used to stay up late and play video games with my son next to me on the couch when he was little.
You got this mate.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Lie on your bed with baby in your arms. Breath slowly and rhythmically to imitate sleep . Baby will copy and fall asleep.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 6 months ago
great advice, and he does for about 60-80 seconds before he fights it.

Spicy ramen flavoured Twisties…
- exist
- are pretty spicy
- are pretty gross
Aradina@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
I saw them the other day and decided they’d probably suck
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I tried them a little while ago and agree with your assessment
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Wicked cheddar zig zag twisties for the win.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Oooh gotta try those. Cheese twisties are my downfall figure wise.

Even though I’ve been back in Perth a few years now, Aldi’s snow week here still amuses me:
None of the snow gear moves at all. This stuff would have been gone in the first few hours in Melbourne. I think this is actually the second week, too!
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 6 months ago
The ski gloves are excellent as bicycling gloves in cold weather - if Perf ever has any.
dumblederp@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I saw my local Aldi team having a post-snow-sales celebration bbq out the back of the shop the other day.
bull@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I trimmed my beard, shaved, gave myself a haircut, showered and was seconds away from booking a room up on the border for the night but then all of my motivation just fell away. I might just stay home and save my money, then go for a drive and find some mountains and start a new audiobook tomorrow just for a day out.
I do need to source some lunch though.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Had a go at cleaning the kukri last night. Lemon, salt, baking soda, vinegar…
First time it has been used. It’s never been sharpened (by me) and that went through a lemon like it was nothing (sharper than my chef’s knife). @Thornburywitch@aussie.zone was right that edge keeps. Will need a few more passes but something tells me it’s a very old blade and it’ll be difficult to get shiny.
Cleaning it did reveal some detail like how they poured a little bronze or whatever in a few bits which is a nice touch.
dumblederp@aussie.zone 6 months ago
500-7000 grit sandpaper then a buffer/polisher and cutting polish could get that to a mirror finish if you were keen.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I’ve been looking with interest, I just can’t figure out how to use that knife. Next stop, yt for some videos.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Ooh super interesting vid. Love how it’s shrouded in so much mystery.
StudChud@aussie.zone 6 months ago
So much cheese on pasta bake this week. I’m so gassy I’ve formed my own personal atmosphere.

Every light sniffle or cough I have picked up over the last couple of years has developed into a brutal sinus infection. I do not like this new chapter in my life.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I had one that lasted for literal years and still have issues. Antihistamines for a short period while using the Flo bottle or something similar can help
Pilk@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Oh I think I have some antihistamines somewhere… hammering the flo bottle already. Thanks!
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Same. It’s dreadful. That Flo bottle, eucalyptus oil antihistamines and a beanie to keep my sinuses warm is just basic winter kit at this stage.
Pilk@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Oh I should try the beanie too. Thanks.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
another boring day of resting
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Market GF pie acquired, sauced and demolished.
Bag full of veges for roasting and soups. Couple of easy meals for the freezer to avoid take away. Even got some honey and eucalyptus drops for this post flu foolishness. Coffee drunk. Puppies patted. This is a good Saturday morning.
Grackle@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I always dreaded going to the post office on Saturdays because the queues would be long, the packages would be piled up everywhere and nobody had their shit ready when it was their turn. This morning however, only person in there was paying bills and there was a few tubs on the ground of packages but nothing like what it used to be. The purse strings are tight here in the inner north.
In other news there are far too many pictures of me in my new passport of varying sizes and colors. 0/10 do not recommend.
Taleya@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I stole the pics his lordship didn’t use last time he had his passport done and they’re left fir random encounters in strange places around the house. Unexpected husband!

Duenan@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Holy crap. I was meant to gif or a nano and fell asleep for 4 hours :(
There goes my day :(
bull@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Went and grabbed a weeks’ worth of dinners for what ends up being like $7 a meal at the South Melbourne Market and that’s awesome BUT it was getting a little late to cook something so I grabbed a crispy chicken Caesar wrap from maccas on the way home. I mention this because I asked them to add a bit of that new spicy fiesta sauce to it too - which they wouldn’t do for some reason - but sold me a little tub of it so I can add it myself. Which I did. And it was incredible.
I might email them now and suggest strongly that they add it to their lineup and I am not the kind of person who does that.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Today is my “wash everything” day. All items of bedding inc. pillow and doona, and clothes, and my work backpack which is getting a little smelly. Going to take 4 loads but will be very content when I’m done
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Going to the market. Requests will be taken
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 months ago
A job so I can get an orange friend for Gibson to boss around.

Beers, music, and the new update to Slice n Dice. Perf Saturday evening
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I’m taking the pressure off. No art, just sharpening pencils. That’s my hobby now.
It also leads nicely into whittling and woodwork. If I had a slab of wood, glue and sandpaper I could even carve a handle into one end and make my own sharpening sandpaper block. I have some fence staples to hold the paper layers on. And then that could lead into making one for knives or making strops…
But no more physical hobbies or tools. I just run out of energy and drop them.
oztrin@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Feels like I’ve been going flat out even after settlement day, so this is the first chance I’ve had the space and energy to have a little celebration.
Couple of dishes from the little Chinese cafe which is a bit of a local institution, the bottle of bubbly the estate agent gave me when we sold the house, and sitting down to finally watch Bridgerton. Ahhh.
