  Here are two of my old kitties that I miss dearly.

  Image

  That was ‘Tig’ a bengal. He was an arsehole but I respected that. probably noisiest little fucker i’ve ever met.

  Image

  And that was ‘Sheba’ an abby. Probably the sweetest cat I’ve had. When I snored she’d sit on my chest staring down at me, I’d wake up and I think she was impressed by the noise. When I get another cat it’ll be one of those.

    Wow you sure pick the beautiful high energy breeds!

      The bengal was definitely harder…

      Here’s what a bengal come down looks like after a toof extraction at the kitty dentist:

    Getting into and tangled within the clothes-horse is such a cat thing to do. What an absolute cutie 😍

      He destroyed several thinking he could do the same as an adult. Physics says NO.

      I thought it looked like it was intended for another cat like he was a mixed up Lego set 😻

  Green bag shenanigans instead of doing the housework.

  • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Was he ever really going to do housework?

    source

    • Eagle@aussie.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I could use him as a duster if he’d stop trying to mangle the tablecloth.

    Check your account settings are the way you want them to be. The latest update seems to have either added new settings with strange defaults, or borked up your existing settings.

  Toddler woke up screaming, woke the cat. While im settling the toddler cats giving me this look of death. I said sorry. He replied by going to claw the shit out of the armchair

  • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Kitty redirected well and did not claw the shit out of the direct source of annoyance. Good kitty.

  One last old kitty photo:

  She (Sheba) was always so devved when it was silverside was not her thing. She would just stand there and silently protest.

  Moved as many of the plants as I physically could, and the little plant supplies cupboard that is a bitch to carry. Clothes are 90% dry and towels 50% dry and indoors now. The carport is still a disgusting mess and I’ll leave that for another weekend when I’ll also finally get around to installing my dashcam.

  Now I need to:

  • vacuum the house a bit from tramping in and out with plants
  • get onions and potatoes and tuna from colesworth as I wasn’t organised enough to do so from an independent grocer before today
  • bulk up remaining vegan “ragu” with lentils
  • make a lil pot pie with said leftovers and potato
  • make risoni pasta with green peas and Brussels sprouts and tuna

  source

  • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    ooh legit. Solid ziplock work!

    I’d say do a pH hoping for somewhere around 4.

    Looks great :)

    source

    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Can’t get hold of a pH test today but ordered some online to arrive by Friday. Meanwhile I decided to just blitz and decant and refrigerate. Behold!!

      Image

      Been tasting a bit more and holy cow it does taste good for just pure chillo + salt, no garlic etc. No off flavours. I used all the brine and it still has a moderately thick yet pourable consistency.

      Am loving the absolute FRUITINESS that’s really shone through, normally these are too spicy to feel the fruitiness but fermenting has been perfect for these dudes!! What a new way to enjoy the bounty of chillies. Thank you for planting the seed in me and encouraging me to finally get off my arse and give it a go :) I will definitely be doing more of this next summer. Maybe even with the last chillies that have ripened while I was away.

  Yep, last night I spooned some of the beef broth into a bowl, let it cool to a safe temperature and Melbcat eagerly drained it. It got the thumbs up. Seems it has to be homemade and very plain with nothing weird added.

  I’ve had this low-priority to-do in the back of my head for years - “Learn Python”. I’ve just never needed to get across it for any reason when there are other languages I’m more familiar with.

  But now my oldest is leaning Python at school. First coding lessons stuff. They’ve got some Logo (the old turtle drawing basic scripting thingy that I learned in the 80’s) module they load and then they’re combining Python and Logo code to draw stuff. It’s actually pretty fun. I find myself debugging his code though. Which is a problem when I don’t know the language syntax.

  Watching a complete novice approach a simple problem, I’ve really, really taken for granted how to think like a coder. No wonder people think nerds are from another planet. The problems coders face literally require you to think differently.

  So anyway, I’ve started learning Python. I hope I find real uses for it beyond helping the kids with homework.

  source

  • Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I learnt logo as my first language as well. It introduced so many useful concepts for later on.

    source
  • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’ve been meaning to look at it as well. I’m interested in how I could automate things with it.

    Have a look at the game engine Godot as well. Its programming language, Gscript, is based on python. It might be a good way to keep your kids interested in coding

  I started the day off with a walk and a hearty breakfast. Image

  One load of washing has been hung. A leg of lamb has been pulled from the freezer to defrost. The sun is shining, the cat is purring on my lap, so far today is shaping up to be a very good day.

  • Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Ok I’m not having muesli for breakfast. I’m getting me some of that!

• Aradina@lemmy.ml ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  First morning waking up at 7 instead of 8. Going to bring it down to 6 in a month or two. I normally suck at maintaining a sleep schedule, but this has been working.

  All I did was keep my phone out of my bed and set my lamp to turn on a minute before my alarm goes off. I’ve gone from seven alarms that fail to wake me up because I turn them off in my sleep down to one that wakes me.

  I think it’s a good thing, having a set schedule, and I like waking up early enough that it’s quiet outside still. So peaceful.

  So fucking cold though

  Hmm I don’t know what to have for dinner tonight.

  Seems I may have lost my appetite today after having an argument with someone close to me this afternoon.

  Need to keep my mind occupied and busy to stop dwelling on things.

  source

  • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Definitely try and put something together, it’ll help take your mind off the argument. I made my risoni pasta with heaps of veg and it’s taken off some of the edge of the day. That sense of accomplishment and completion is useful.

    source

    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Thanks. I’ll try and make something when my tummy settles.

      I might just do a lazy 2 minute noodles night tonight.

      I might have some risoni but all I have is baby peas and I’d probably need to season it up a bit though I don’t have much.

  Dear Boomers,

  It’s ok to have negative/empty space. You don’t need to fill everything up with shit.

  Empty space makes a statement in and of itself.

  The Whittlesea Public Gardens care a great spot with one of those miniature roadways for kids learning to ride their bikes. There’s just one thing to keep in mind about the place:

  It’s located in Thomastown

  source
• imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  The place is not the level of clean I like yet but much better. It’s only the main kitchen bench (saving that until after dinner) and the bathroom (it will survive). I feel much calmer and under control.

  But I have done a good declutter on my bedroom cupboards (should help to have spaces for things) and a big rearrange of my weird sunroom so the plants get their winter sun. Have split it up so I have a little spot to curl up and read, my mediation corner is neat and clean and I have a cleared a spot for the clotheshorse.

  Le tired.

  Also next medium-big purchase is a bean bag type thing for said reading nook. Any recommendations?

  The motivation is non existent today. We begin our trek back to Melbourne, which will take 2 days. The train doesn’t leave until 8, but breakfast is mandatory and starts at 6. I just want to go home and sleep. The cold isn’t any better today, but it’s not any worse, hopefully it stays that way

  Mrs went to bed early and shut the door cause I was watching tv, this locked her cat out who was PISSED. How do I know? Once I let her in she chose to sleep on my legs. Mrs B’s gotta fuck up real bad for her cat to turn to me.

  Off to a good start with the housework I didn’t do yesterday. And note to self: there’s no use getting sad about needing a rest day. If I want to have my weekends full of fun activity I need to not work 12 hour days during the week and burn myself out. That debt must be paid.

  Had a good day today. Did some laundry while looking at quotes for car insurance. Mr P had been with the same insurance company for years, and his premium had gone up to a “you’ve got to be joking!” level (lookin’ at you RACV). But once I factored in his age, good history, low mileage/usage, new customer discount etc., the potential for huge savings was too attractive and he switched. Watched the wrestling with the Elder. Did odd things around the place but basically looked after Miniest, who’s still sick.

  Something strange just happened. From the corner of my eye while watching TV I saw a flash in the sky. About 20 seconds later all of my lights flashed off and on.

  Looking at the radar there’s no thunderstorms around. So what was that? 👽
