  Had the first couples counseling the other day. It was interesting. Forced to be diplomatic for lack of a better word we were articulating points that sort of surprised each other I think. The therapist also had me figured out in no time at all “Shit childhood, yeah?” “yep” “Parents didnt love each other?” “Nup”. Guess I’m not the first she’s seen.

    Good on you for giving it a go man. I think it takes a lot of courage for a couple to seek help to address their issues.

  Ya boys got two dates (one maybe Saturday and the other Sunday) this weekend. Super excited for Sunday one as I like her but not too sure on Saturday 😊

  We’re planning a garden visit followed by drinks at a board games cafe on Sunday!! Should I get flowers? What do I wear?!! I’m nervous now 😪

    Some unsolicited advice?

    I’m nervous now 😪

    Why? She likes you( or else she wouldnt have said yes). You like her. There is nothing to be nervous about. Dress up a little, remember your manners, bring a couple of good (or terrible) jokes or funny stories and you’re sorted.

  Have just heaved a packet of sausages, some curry paste, a shittonne of vegetables and the last leftover can of the cider into the slow cooker. Dinner will be ready at 8 ish. Dunno what you’d call it - bangers & hash stew maybe? Melbourne coddle? Kept back some parsley & lemon zest & garlic for stirring through at the last minute.

  The crisper drawer is now empty. Note to self - buy more grog.

    Nah. That’s just curried sausages and extras.

    Note to you - buy more grog.

    Saving your post incase I ever dare to try the tiny slow cooker that was given to me but haven’t had the courage to use yet due to lack of experience.

    source

    • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Oh Duenan, the slow cooker is the best gadget ever in the kitchen. Whatever you cook on the stove, you can do in the slow cooker. Hmu when I’m sober. The slow cooker is my forte and I’m sure a lot of people here are the same.

      Mine is only 5 litres. Two quarts in old money. It’s a very old (but still functional) original crockpot. I think I got in back in 1982 … has seen a lot of use since. My only complaint is that the crock part is not removable, so I have to be vigilant about washing it up so the electrics don’t get compromised. Modern ones are much easier to deal with - just put the insert in the dishwasher.

    This is a very traditional Aussie stew, real pioneer fare.

    source

    • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I suspect the pioneers would not have put in quite so many vegetables.

    What are you playing?

    I’ve been playing the demo on steam of Tactical Breach Wizards. A turn based strategy game from the guy who did Heat Signature, where you play a few magical wizards uncovering a conspiracy, with assault wands. It’s to be released in August. I am actually a little hyped lol

      I tried Elden Ring when it came out and could not get into it at all. Gameplay was fine, but the lack of a story (a cohesive one that was explicit) ruined it for me.

      I’m playing Dragon Age Inquisition. It was free on Epic games a while back and it’s pretty fun.

  I think I’ve caught one of the viruses going around, I’m starting to get a sore throat. Covid test was negative at least, so I can still count myself a member of the small “never had Covid” group. But if I’m part of the “feels like swallowing razor blades” group that someone went home from work with yesterday that will be little comfort.

  I was able to get a better sleep last night, but this bed situation is annoying me. I have a “double” bed, but it’s one of those fake double beds where it’s just 2 singles pushed together. Both bases are on wheels as well, and the wheels don’t have locks on them, so I have to keep pushing them back together as they get separated

  Happy Friday cobbas. I got up on time this morning and decided to rug up and WALK to work at 7:45am - and feeling really proud of myself! It’s only 2kms and almost a straight line basically. Unsurprisingly, I feel a whole lot better than I would’ve today given the amount of work that’s turned up on my plate. I will definitely be doing it again, great way to roll some exercise into the day, like I used to before I had a licence and car.

  Back home and had the energy to put together a kung pao chicken with mock meat. This weekend will involve a whole lot of Adult Responsibilities. I was gonna catch up with a friend to break it up but they’ve got the 'vid so I wonder what else I could do instead (that doesnt involve a screen) so I don’t feel like the weekend is all work and no fun.

  Wow, wild day… Drove past a servo and saw a ton of smoke. Called 000 and chucked a U turn and then the smoke was all gone. Decided to hop on the FRV radio, and apparently it was caused by a diesel generator for a pressure washer and was more or less just a puff of smoke

  My aunt and uncle have been clearing out some old alcohol they weren’t gonna drink.

  There’s buttscotch schnapps, vodka, two bottles of Jaegermeister (one with shit glasses), and some gin (which I have turned into a gin and tonic with cucumber).

  Oh, and Kahlua, Sambuca, and Galliano. And my other aunt got me a lovely exxy bottle of wine with glasses as well.

  I don’t think I’ll need to buy alcohol for a long while.
