So whereâs the rest of the spider crab, and how big is it?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
oohlah

Hey I think I drove past that a couple of weeks ago! It looked like something out of some sci fi horror movie
dumblederp@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Not that one, most concrete pumps look the same. I walked by again this morning and thereâs a fresh slab poured and theyâve absolutely annihilated the nature strips with heavy vehicles.

I know Iâm going to get called preachy and whiny or whatever but here goes:
Please wear a mask. I get that the anti-maskers won and social pressures make you feel self conscious, and people absolutely do give weird looks when they see people wearing masks, but the current sickness going around is totally preventable.
I have a chronic condition and even a mild illness can massively reduce my quality of life. Iâm required to frequently go out and be in close proximity with people, and itâs at the point where most people I see have a cough. I just want to not be at risk.
KN95 masks are a good balance between efficacy and price. Those blue surgical masks are easiest to find, but arenât great. N95s can be too expensive.
Please please please just consider wearing them when out.
Besides all that itâll make for an easier adjustment when Pandemic 2: Electric Birdflugaloo comes around.

âŚyou bitch about my mask, Iâm a gonna show up with my fucking 3m 100PM respirator on. Bright pink and hardcore vader noises.
Actually Iâma gonna get another one and art it up. Weâre living in a cyberpunk dystopia anyway, may as well dress for the occasion.

I like your style!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
I find it easier to mask up when I leave the house and just keep it on, taking them on and on is also unhygienic
melbaboutown@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
I never stopped wearing a mask. Iâm very possibly immunocompromised and donât want long covid. During lockdowns Iâd always get dickhead men trying to intimidate me for wearing a mask and pick a fight about it. đ Big heroes harassing tiny lone disabled women.
But I really wish it would become just normal and accepted to mask up like in Asia. Itâs polite, itâs hygienic, doesnât really cost much and you could be saving yourself or someone else a nasty flu. And frankly anyone who doesnât do it in a pandemic is not being logical.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Happy to oblige, you wonât get any arguments from me. I donât give a damn about antimaskers or weird looks, but being a large solidly built middle-aged woman in steel caps can tend to put people off talking to me on public transport about their antimask bullshit. Iâm the only one in my house with a job, and as a casual employee I canât afford time off due to totally preventable illness. The colds/flus/whatever they are going around at the moment are dynamite. My MIL is 90 and frail, my partner has many health issues, and I donât have time for people who think theyâre clever passing their ignorant bigotry towards the immunocompromised. Iâm sorry you and Melba have had to deal with mean spirited inconsiderate twits. Itâs actually easier to be considerate anyway.
bull@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
I gotta say⌠as someone who often feels like an outsider itâs kind of nice that everyone else is sick when I am too. I feel like Iâm a part of something.
mysticgreg@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
One of us! One of us! :D
Duenan@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
I feel like an outcast, I got sick about 3 or 4 weeks ago and now Iâm fine but I donât want to catch anything again for the next month if I can help it.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Team lurgy checking in
Eagle@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Yeah nah⌠Iâm not sick but happy to be an outsider!
Baku@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
These damn kids and their ticky tocky trends smh my head. /s
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
2 more hours before these guys go and I can leave the house. Theyâre just pouring concrete now.
Hard to relax when people are all over the house. Been here since 9am.
Sorry, just whinging. I like my place to myself and fluffy butt. It feels intrusive.
Taleya@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
it will be even nicer to have nice flat floors, the cat wonât know whatâs where!
Catfish@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
But belting marbles around will be less funđş
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Sometimes when I pick up the guitar, something really personal comes out. Itâs rarely recorded, itâs never on purpose.
And no one hears it but me. And that makes it special.
I know how wanky that sounds, but itâs true. Iâm probably not explaining myself properly
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Gibson hears all and knows all
Nath@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
it was the best song in the woooorld⌠đľ
StudChud@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Art is art, public or private. It is a reflection of us as humans, to put something so personal out into the universe. So uniquely you.
It isnât wanky, not to me at least, for whatever thatâs worth ha! Itâs human. No one will ever read everything I write, all the words left private, unread, unseen. But I do it for me. You do it for you. We just gotta be humans about it all, I think.
Idk maybe Iâm just a dumb dumb lol
Taleya@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
jesus christ, neighbours are smoking shit so fuckign dank I can smell it in my house.
Both properties were built in the fucking 60âs so weâre not up each otherâs arses, and this place actually has insulation and draught exclusion
Baku@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Iâd forgotten just how much I hate the smell of weed. There was a kid at the last place that would smoke inside and blow it into the heating ducts and then Iâd end up reeking of it. The new kid here only smokes outside, but he stands just outside the door so it still makes its way in
Taleya@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
I usually donât care, but this is the weed equivalent of a burning car tyre
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Sad news is my microphone ran out of charge đ Good news is the man has so many cords, power banks and nerdy shit that itâll be up and running in no time đ
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Hahaha. Itâs all good, mate. Tell me what you got in there? Whatâs ya favourite? Whatâs ya most helpful or used?
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Is the good news actually sad news for the neighbours⌠hrmmâŚ
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
I have not had any complaints nor requests đ¤ˇââď¸
bull@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
I have reconsidered and decided it wouldnât be the best decision to go out this weekend. I canât imagine being well enough by tomorrow. At least the new season of The Boys dropped today and there is plenty of NRL to watch over the weekend.
I guess for now thereâs only 1 thing to do⌠420 blaze it.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Hot box it, Bull.
Baku@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Aw, poor bull. Rest up!

Short-staffed at work because people sick. People also sick at home. People sick everywhere 𤧠Holding sickness at bay with Bioceuticals Armaforce, Tolak Angin Flu sachets, and maybe my Aâ blood type. A special shout out to all of you who are under the weather. May you be back to your usual sunny selves soon!
Mittens_meow@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Wearing a mask all day, it really sucks
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
I have Monday and Tuesday booked off for a break. I do believe I will take today off sick as well
StudChud@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Noice!

thatâs beautiful đ

Itâs a massive cheat. Two woolies mud cakes underneath but I ainât hot time for baking and decorating.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Did you do that? Thatâs some serious talent
Eagle@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Itâs lollies and fondant and bought icing roses. I just put them Iâm their spots. But it does look good.
Nath@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Oh wow. Iâm also making a cake tonight for a birthday tomorrow. I doubt it will be this pretty.
oztrin@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
One of the really frustrating things about getting the 'rona is Iâve been itching to settle down into sorting and organising the spare room, which is going to be the study/library space.
However I had a burst of energy and inspiration tonight and did a little rearranging and moving around - I want to put a cat tower where one of the smaller bookcases was and that meant moving the others one up, which meant emptying one, andâŚ
Anyway thereâs roughly a cat tower sized space next to the window. Next step is sorting whatâs in the bookshelves and cleaning them⌠even if I do one shelf at a time, itâs something.TinyBreak@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Fuck I think Iâm gonna have to go back to bed. I doubt Iâll sleep cause I hardly did last night, but like⌠itâs better to laying in bed in the dark feeling like shit than sitting on a couch, right? Thank god the Mrs is well enough to look after kiddo.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
get well soon đ
lodion@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Hey Melbourne, please warm up before I arrive with my family next week đ

I called in crook. My brain is stuffed. Then I was joined by Mrs and Tinyest cause he got sent from from daycare with lice. They claim no one else in the room has it, which is impossible cause he hasnât any any other interaction with kids outside of daycare, and we donât have it.
SituationCake@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Days like this I wish I had a house with a wood fire. The crackle sounds and warm glow are a cure for winter cold and sads.
Catfish@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Sharpening my pencils etc. fundraising thing GO! an art box
melbaboutown@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Ough. Long nap. Iâve been really good about hygiene and masking but think Iâve gotten sick anyway.
Melbcat seems a lot better after going on the new antibiotics. Sheâs much brighter. Sheâs been refusing her wet meals though so I wonder if sheâs a bit queasy.
Duenan@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Feet are feeling cold even with socks.
Ugg boot time?

Sad news is we only have a dozen beers between us đ Good news is I have a cupboard full of booze đ
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
I accidentally doubled up on my ADHD medicine and I feel like Iâm going to pass out. Thatâs how I know I actually have ADHD. Too much stimulant medication makes me feel super sleepy. Meanwhile a mate of mine got one from his partner and took it at a festival and was absolutely shitfaced the whole day. Brains are weird.
oztrin@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Just got a phone call from work. âOh donât retest if you donât have any symptoms it can still show up for weeks.â ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Today was going to be the day I washed my oodie. But no. Today is for wearing oodies. Also - can you get away with tumble drying a (cheap rip-off) oodie? Iâm not worried so much about losing fluffyness, more that I will set the laundromat on fire from the hot synthetic fabricâŚ
StudChud@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Tomorrow my fam is having our birthday bash for the April/May birthdays. But late, but only because trying to get 30+ peopleâs schedules to line up is worse than trying to herd cats.
Looking forward to seeing my grandparents. Theyâre getting on in years and have started arrangements for their eventual passing away. It freaks me out some, but trying not to think too hard on it because there will be a time for that later on. Not tomorrow. Tomorrow is a celebration
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Every day I give my little dog a new nickname. Today itâs Viper. Yesterday it was Cupcakes.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Meh, another night of crap sleep. Also, too many carbs for a few days⌠My guts is not happy.
Otherwise, Friyay!
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨months⊠ago
Iâm tired but I donât want to crash because I spent so much time on PT today. I need some Simon time.

First week in a higher role nearly over and I must say Iâm enjoy it.
Slightly more busy and dealing with new people (who are all super patient).
Best part of it, is I actually have some influence over large decisions. So far my input has been welcomed and respected.
Fingers crossed my old boss stays in his role and I can keep this one đ
