A bit of a setback for Elder this morning. The welfare person at his school suggested we try next term for three morning sessions a week in class for an hour each time. When I mentioned it to Elder he had a meltdown, couldn’t sleep and now isn’t going to this morning’s meeting at all 😟😔 His therapist actually suggested that online virtual schools might be the solution for now because he’s missed the whole first year of highschool up to this point, but the problem with that is Mr P is dyslexic and is not au fait with internet and tech and I have work, so there’d be nobody at home in a position to support him. I’m going to talk to my boss about more flexible hours (the financial planner in my head says, “but we need the money dammit!”), but I’m not optimistic as it is a factory job after all. Virtual Schools Victoria, aside from when the classes are held via video conferencing, are actually very flexible in their scheduling. Going to work now with all this running around in my head and had to put it somewhere 🤯😵💫
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I’m so sorry you’re having such a hard time. I hope you can find a solution that works for all of you ❤️

Doing dry July this year.
Yay me!!
However it’s still June and the bottle of Jager needs to be emptied.
Huzzah!

I’ve been there. I grew up with a few of the Walker mob, the descendants of Kath Walker the poet. Shame about the sand mining company effectively stealing the island.

Weird nightmare crew represent 🙌🏻🦠🧞♀️💍🩺💥
typed it out then realised it was kinda gross
I dreamt I had weird creatures/fungus/organisms all under my skin. It started with weird ant things coming out of my belly button the it was everything from giant green amoebas to insect type things to fungi. And one giant long thing up one leg that was a tracking device.
Took forever to get to a doctor but he was helping me get them out. Then there was some guy chasing me oh and I had to get to a wedding. I am bloody exhausted. Off to check my whole body for weird pimples…(Shudder)……anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I’ve got the Rona which seems to be making mine extra weird
Aradina@lemmy.ml 5 days ago
I had a weird nightmare but I forgot it.
The other night I also had a weird nightmare involving zombies, a woodchipper, and a large and sturdy plate glass window.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I dreamed about wanting to hike to a waterfall and then hearing that it was now overrun by giant killer rats. I then I went to a weird “natural” lake but creatures from Diablo IV started coming out of a tunnel nearby and my boyfriend and I had to fight them, twas pretty wild!

I once dreamed I had seedlings growing in my legs.

That thread on the melbourne sub about the guy who had the mattresses dumped in his yard really makes me mad that the EPA, Council or Police won’t do anything about it. They’re just letting a scummy business owner get away with it.
bull@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Agreed. It sparked the vigilante in me and a lot of others in there.
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Bet if you dump it in front of the Council or EPA CEO’s house something gets done.

On the way to school my daughter came across a flock of corellas. Of course she took snaps. I think they made her day. It’s also the last day of term so it’s double happiness ☺
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 days ago
A couple of years ago I passed a flock of little corellas feeding on the grass at Latrobe Uni - they were eating bullants. Wtf? Only creature I’ve EVER seen eating bullants.

Finished writing a letter to all the submissions for my writing competition. They all did such a magnificent job, and some of the stories were genuinely really good with interesting themes and ideas and twists that I decided to make them all winners. So they all get signed copies of my book.
I went to one school on Wednesday and announced the winners at assembly. Public speaking is not fun, but I think I did ok. But what really got me was as I was sitting and waiting, one of the kids randomly asks for a high five. Which I obliged. And the girl next to him goes ‘Don’t you know who that is? That’s [my name]. The author.’, which is a licorice all sorts of a wow moment for me.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days ago
‘Don’t you know who that is? That’s [my name]. The author.
Bro, you made it! thats so fucking cool!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 days ago
That’s so cool and cool a kid asked for a high five and cool you obliged. 😄
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone 5 days ago
They are ridiculously excited over small things and it’s so damn infectious. Certainly makes me feel better.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I didn’t get it. Pretty bummed out but there’s some more opportunities on the horizon.
Damn it.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I’m sorry. Take Simon out for a beer to commiserate tonight yeah? He did his best and deserves it!
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I think that’s a great idea mate 🙂
I’m waiting on a response from yesterday’s interview which will come next week, another lined up for Monday, and my details being submitted for 2 more roles today.
Something will come through soon 🤞🏾
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Boo, sorry to hear it. Hopefully the next one is The One.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 days ago
I figure when it happens I’ll be over the moon considering all these issues lol
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Got the nerves a bit today waiting for a call about the job from Tuesday.
Trying to distract myself pretty much.
Fingers crossed 🤞🏾
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I sent you a PM on that.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Thanks mate :)

I’m seriously looking at the Envo Masks. I’m still WFH, but Hubs heads into the city and I’m fucking sick of him bringing home plagues.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Handrail done!
Have to say I am fond of squabbling with the old man about how to go about the DIY stuff. There’s never any love lost but it is hilarious when there’s disagreement.
Sort of a pseudo argument. You can be both right but wrong. You agree to disagree, then disagree on agreeing to finally agree to agree, but deep down you disagree.
I guess that’s bonding.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 days ago
That looks really good. Much fancier than I was expecting.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
That looks amazing! Well done ❤️

Now that song I do know. ⚡💘
wscholermann@aussie.zone 4 days ago
To rent furiosa on YouTube is 29.99 AUD. Are you for fucking real?
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Fuck.all.that
Torrent it.
wscholermann@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Torrenting? I am completely and totally unfamiliar with the term. All media I consume is done so through legitimate means. No copyright infringement here.

useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Might as well watch it at the cinema. Same price or less. It’s more suited for a large screen and sound system anyway.
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Bloody white-ass boomers pushing their way onto PTV. Everyone else stood to the side, but these four just had to make sure they got the seats they wanted… Even though there was only, like, 10 of us on the platform, who got on a whole ass train.
And they call my generation ungrateful and mannerless. Pfft.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Had a moment today where a modern life tech thing baffled me (online access type thingy), and I got frustrated (eventually solved it). I’m not that old but I’m not young either, and it used to be utterly effortless to keep up with the latest life admin requirements, but am finding that occasionally I now feel out of the loop. Is this the tip of the iceberg? I don’t want it to be. I don’t want to age and become useless at new stuff comes out. I Do. not. like. It.

Oooh competitive goonsy. You beat me, although you were 5 seconds early and posted this yesterday…

Home again after Crazy Day of Hell Week. I am comforting myself with the reflection that it’s a whole year before the next one. I am enjoying a much deserved glass of wine and some godlike snax (fancy as shit sandwiches from the freezer) as I cbf cooking tonight due to exhaustion. Going to tap out fairly early tonight I think. Have a drink of whatever on me folks to celebrate.

Gratitude thread!
Today I’m seeing my friend who I haven’t seen in six months (she lives in Sydney) and she’s going to surprise another one of my friends :)
Also I was greeted by the doggo when I woke up this morning, which is a rare occurrence. I believe he sees me as lower than him on the food chain hahaha
bull@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Wow the music down at the Firelight festival is louder than any music I’ve ever heard from any event and that includes NYE celebrations. Usually the music barely registers with me but it’s proper loud. Yelling get out of my yard from the balcony has proven unsuccessful.
tone212_@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Caught up with an old colleague for drinks tonight. We had a good gossip / bitching session about our previous employer, both of who we had problems with, and talking about how much better we are off now.
Then I was craving noodles for dins - still thinking about how good this was. Hit the spot.

Reckon I could troll my colonoscopy team by swallowing a lego head the morning of the procedure.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Still struggling health wise and having to jump through bureaucratic hoops.
spoiler
(I went to hospital last night but didn’t get the intervention I was hoping for/need. Just an escalation of an existing referral.) This pattern may continue for some time so I’ll probably not be posting much about it and really downplaying it. Because It’s a bummer and nobody wants to read about all that for months or years.
I’ve found something easy that helps combing but might still go for the low maintenance cut when I have the chance. I’ve had the style before, so I know it looks sophisticated and suits me well.
I haven’t been able to do much cooking or gardening lately but might still go and post to the instances in a bit. Pump up the comment numbers. 🙂
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Installing a little outdoor handrail for the p’s today. Just 5 steps.
Safe to say I have no idea what I’m doing.
I have watched the youchoobs though so with any luck they won’t fall down.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days ago
discovered I can easily pull my stupid sliding windows out, meaning cleaning them just went from “Damn near impossible” to “a decent project, but perfectly doable”. Hopefully the rain holds out a bit on the weekend cause I’d love to tackle a few more. theyve got 15 years of moss and dirt built up.
