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 đ
Weâre planning a garden visit followed by drinks at a board games cafe on Sunday!! Should I get flowers? What do I wear?!! Iâm nervous now đȘ
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I also have two dates this weekend. The 23nd and the 23rd đ
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Daaaaaad!
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Some unsolicited advice?
Iâm nervous now đȘ
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 youâre sorted.
fullkitwanker@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Thank you! I needed to hear this đ
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Get them a board game.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
A copy of Operation should give a great impression lol

Before I have a little nap Iâd like to say Happy Cake Day Seagoon. Thanks for your dedication to the dt. đ
bacon@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Happy Birthday!! đ

Iâve decided to turn off the alarm for tomorrow morning. Still going to bed shortly, but after this morningâs migraine, Iâm going to sleep in a little.
Goodnight guys â€ïž
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Goodnight homey. Have a good and restful night.
bacon@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
for a second i wondered why youâre calling him âhoneyâ
StudChud@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
You deserve a sleep in, youâve been doing awesome! Enjoy!

This has made me ravenous. I havenât had anything today. Not even a drink of water.
I see pommes being a part of my weekend.

a big slice of home made olive bread and a cup of coffee
Catfish@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Half a bag of mini potato, 4 parsnip, an onion, an apple, a capsicum, 2 tomatoes, and a full garlic. There will not be dinner.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Nor personal space being invaded.

Very MacGyver!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Indeed. I am an innovator.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
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 youâd 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.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Nah. Thatâs just curried sausages and extras.
Note to you - buy more grog.
Duenan@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Saving your post incase I ever dare to try the tiny slow cooker that was given to me but havenât had the courage to use yet due to lack of experience.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© 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 Iâm sober. The slow cooker is my forte and Iâm sure a lot of people here are the same.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Mine is only 5 litres. Two quarts in old money. Itâs 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 donât get compromised. Modern ones are much easier to deal with - just put the insert in the dishwasher.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
This is a very traditional Aussie stew, real pioneer fare.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I suspect the pioneers would not have put in quite so many vegetables.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Itâs almost 8. Iâm waiting
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
There is ample for two, or three or more if I add some rice.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Got up at 6 am fully refreshed. Logged into work stupid early and finished all my stuff by about 9 am.
Still logged in but playing video games on my PC.
I think this is a good Friday
StudChud@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
What are you playing?
Iâve 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. Itâs to be released in August. I am actually a little hyped lol
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
That game looks awesome!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Dragon Age Inquisition actually. Got it for free, and itâs a nice time killer.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Shadow of the Erdtree?
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
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.
Iâm playing Dragon Age Inquisition. It was free on Epic games a while back and itâs pretty fun.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Defs got mild hypothermia slurpee brainfreeze after that sunset solstice swim. Worf it though:
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Gorgeous!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Worf it
Qaplaâ
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Made it down the bellarine today.
Almost time for the sunset solstice cold swim!
Also lemon tree just refuses to settle down, picked so many a few weeks ago and itâs still going like mad poor thing is tilting:
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Oh man I would take so many lemons off you, craving a good homegrown lemon and honey drink.
Catfish@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I brew a mean chilli lemonade, if youâre donatingâŠ

Back in the day, before the Deer Park bypass was built, Ballarat road was a freaking nightmare to get on and off the Ring road.

Gym session this evening and had some young dude call me âsirâ.
I was puzzled until my son informed me that the young bloke was probably scared of me.
Perhaps I should learn to smile more.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
grrr
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Headache has subsided thankfully.
Annoyed that I went back to sleep this morning, but Iâll be continuing with 6am on the weekends as well.
Time for some video games and guitar.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I think Iâve caught one of the viruses going around, Iâm starting to get a sore throat. Covid test was negative at least, so I can still count myself a member of the small ânever had Covidâ group. But if Iâm part of the âfeels like swallowing razor bladesâ group that someone went home from work with yesterday that will be little comfort.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
If you THINK its covid chances are it probably is. If you cant even focus on video games it DEFFO is.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I probably should take next week off work just to be sure.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Nasty headache. Fuck.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
so many hugs
and a cup of tea and a cookie
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Thank you â€ïž itâs bed rest today. I think I went too hard at the gym yesterday.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Coughing and sneezing up so much snot still. Its been a week and a half, surely its gotta end soon!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I had to dislodge some unsavouries from my nose holes this morning. Thankfully Iâm on the mend because Iâm going stir crazy being inside. Hope itâs not too much longer for you.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Honestly, I could deal with the nose. Its the coughing shit up that Iâm thoroughly over!
StudChud@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
unsavouries
We went over this yesterday; theyâre a salty snack. Hence, they are in fact savoury.
Baku@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I was able to get a better sleep last night, but this bed situation is annoying me. I have a âdoubleâ bed, but itâs one of those fake double beds where itâs just 2 singles pushed together. Both bases are on wheels as well, and the wheels donât have locks on them, so I have to keep pushing them back together as they get separated
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
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! Itâs only 2kms and almost a straight line basically. Unsurprisingly, I feel a whole lot better than I wouldâve today given the amount of work thatâs 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 theyâve got the 'vid so I wonder what else I could do instead (that doesnt involve a screen) so I donât 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
dumblederp@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
New mouse day. Logitech G502 Hero. Seems okay, hope it lasts longer than the Razerâs Iâve been using the last few years. Iâm heavy handed, I feel Iâm heavy everything, I wear stuff out.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Just gonna have a couple of quiet ones tonight. Iâm charging the mic just in case an impromptu song wants to burst out of me.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Temperatures outside have just risen to be slightly warmer than inside my fridge. I will definitely be rugging up for the morning dog walk.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Managed to wake up, but feel really sick. Back to bed for an hour or so. Still a success
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
This is when Iâm most productive at reading my emails, believe it or not.

My aunt and uncle have been clearing out some old alcohol they werenât gonna drink.
Thereâs 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 donât think Iâll need to buy alcohol for a long while.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I love singing this song and changing the words to make it sound creepy.

I am woman who will for your honour. Iâll be the hero youâre dreaming of.
Makes even better with sound effects on the mic.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
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 âShit childhood, yeah?â âyepâ âParents didnt love each other?â âNupâ. Guess Iâm not the first sheâs seen.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
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.
