Pigeons are my favourite bird, of all the birds. I love their coo-ing sound they make, and how derpy they look.
Plus, Australia has a bunch of native ones. My favourite is the Crested Pigeon - they have little mohawks and squeak when they take off.
Look at these beautiful pigeons! www.australiaswonderfulbirds.com.au/pigeons
Look at the superb fruit dove and see the beauty of pigeons lol
I will never forgive the pigeon that stole my whopper junior (with cheese) at fed square at 3am many moons ago. I wasn’t in the best state so it wasn’t a fair fight.
The resident magpie down here takes them out for sport which I fully support.
I love the crested ones, aka Punk Pigeons. So squeaky!
SQUEE squee squee ^squee squee squee^
crested pigeons have taken up nest at the Carlton Gardens , they love the areas with gum trees best
Wow, I didn’t realise we had so many pigeons, and pretty ones too!
Heading back to Melbourne after 10 days in the tropics. Pray for me 🙏🏻
Trampoline park not fun. Awkward with new friend. Wouldn’t be surprised if I never hear from him again lol.
I need sleep.
It can’t have been that bad! Surely the trampoline park had its ups and downs.

I don’t think they’re putting as much carlo in the monty’s anymore. There’s quite the gap, it used to be all the way to the edge.
I’ve virtually given up on bought biscuits. They taste like disappointment and cost too damn much for my liking. For years I told myself, “biscuits only seemed bigger when I was little because I was smaller,” looking at you Wagon Wheels and Golden Rough. Now I can no longer deny, the shrinkflation and overall stinginess is real. It was literally just a few years ago that I’d buy a couple of packets of biscuits per week on special as a treat for the family. Now each packet, on special, costs what those two packets used to, and I’m getting less? I’m going to have a crack at home-made
Look, everyone says they want arnotts cream assortment but a big ol’ ice cream tub full of Anzac biscuits does just fine.
Use white s sugar instead of brown and you get chewy instead of crunchy.
That’s what I thought when I bought a burger from maccas one time.
I thought maybe I had a bad memory and had grown up but I’m pretty sure the burgers has shrunk in size over time.

Is it to early to go to bed?
It looks pretty dark out there must be night soon go ahead
🤝
I’m definitely feeling the sleepy vibes today. The green tea is calming me down more than anything… good night.
Not at all. I’m doing it asap.
Went for a random drive in this awful weather (which I quietly love) with no destination and found myself stopping into bingo. I’ve missed the first 2 sessions but there are still 2 remaining so LESSGOOOOO
They call me the big baller bingo caller. They call me big mack daddy dabber. They can me Nanna’s Bane, ender of the elderly.
Nanna’s Bane 😹😹😹
These have come up very nicely! No abrasives needed, just a damn good oil soak. Their weighting is perfect. Modern tools so oft suck.
What kind of oil?
Hemp. Simply because it was on hand.
You need TWO ball peen hammers? Or are they display copies only???
Different weights different uses. I prob have little use for the larger, but these are some of the few physical objects I’ll get from Father.
I may have overindulged with my grocery shopping today.
I have an odd mixture of stuff and not really a solid plan but needless to say I have a lot of chicken drumsticks and a lot of sausages.
Also bacon prices went up I think. Also getting too expensive to buy :(
I’m new to buying bacon as I have been making leek and bacon pies. Those pies are the most expensive to make. No idea how expensive bacon is meant to be. The bacon bits, while convenient, didn’t seem to be good quality so I buy big packets of Aussie rashers. $11 for 400 g, . I think that’s $2 a slice 🤷♀️ But those pies are real good and I make about 8.
I bought 1kg for 12 from Aldi today. Short cut variety.
Going to be using them in sandwiches with eggs. Maybe onion too but I need to keep the onions for the curry.
It’ll be all worth it though.
Mmm if you can pie you can quiche. Tomato basil quiche is of the divine. You can also get more bang if you use those leeks with tarragon and chicken for delish pies. (I use thickened cream in the gravy, numnumnum)
ugh, had a nasty nightmare about anxiety. I was packing to travel and husband was impeding me, making me late, making me anxious. I got angry.
Just woke up from my 4pm nap. FML.
Hi friend it’s me your twin. Just stay in bed 😪
I almost went for a 6pm nap earlier
Ok that was an incredible sleep lol
Rainy day rule requires me to sit in bed and play games whilst watching SCP videos.

A nice salmon and cream cheese bagel would do the trick, plz chef. And a latte, because Melbourne. 😂
A bowl of delicious vegetable soup with crusty bread and a nice ripe camembert to smear on it. With coffee please Bacon.
Gratitude thread :)
Saw my friend from Sydney last night. She gave me Jesus soap and put some in our friend’s shower for shits and gigs.
going to a trampoline park today which hopefully should be fun
my aunt told me she’s getting a puppy in two weeks and I’m so excited to meet her
Worked out that riding my m’cycle to/from work is a great self-regulator, even with getting annoyed in traffic. (Pls no fines this week.)
Great banter with people who get you right off the bat… It’s not often, so I do forget how much it fills my tumbler.
While not invalidating my gripes, I 100% know how good I have it. Not really for want of anything, roof, warmth, bed, friends, acquaintances, privilege of engaging in most desires and hobbies and a little bit of work if I want that little bit more. Can’t have it all (right now?), but what I have I am entirely grateful for. Even when I’m being a brat.
I am grateful I never need meet my in-laws. Stories like Seegoon’s hit hard. Blood Family is not immune from general bastardry and does not deserve anything automatically.
Yesterday
I am grateful I have no responsibilities today and can go to bed at 8pm if I feel like it.
Also for early 80’s transformers cartoons.
And Gibson as per
Did you go to bed at 8pm?
I’ve decided to quit vaping. I had to buy a shitty disposable today and it makes my chest hurt compared to the normal refillable ones I usually use.
These things are really fucking bad for your lungs. Way worse than the refillables.
Once again, Labor has decided to remove the safe option and keep the dangerous one available everywhere.
All normal refillable vape shops close tomorrow for good. Well done Labor. Well fucking done.
wind’s howling
fust, bwa ha ha
I totally forgot The Bear s3 is out now. I hear it’s not as great as the first two seasons as it was filmed alongside s4 so it feels more drawn out, but that’s fine by me because holy hell the first two seasons were so intense I felt like I needed two weeks and a few therapy sessions to recover
I like dogs but the fact is I’m allergic to them. And my allergies to cats are exponentially worse.
For some reason I’ve been blessed with a hyperactive immune system. Spring as you can imagine is a real bitch. But I must say my symptoms are not nearly as bad now as they were when I was a kid.
had the lotr music albums on blast while i do housework and cooking
tis awesome
my poor neighbours
Poor fella.
A kick after the siren to win it for the Swans and completely shanks it for a no score.
I can haz decaf
husband’s folks are coming for dinner, I checked with him, i called them “your folks” , first time I ever called them that. Thing is they treat me like crap, always have, they truly are not my folks
It’s the grand opening of the new dinosaur exhibition at the museum this weekend.
One of my boys is a bit scared of dinosaurs but we’ll check it out anyway. He can join the dino dance at the end if he needs to get away from things
Anyone got any of that rain that was supposed to be bucketing down on us this morning? Dry as a bone outside, I see the forecast was reviewed to “late morning”… Looks like most of it’s gonna fall into the bay :/
I’m looking for a tea caddy spoon and fell down a rabbit hole of T2 fancy teas and infusions and weighing and timing and i’m just like…dude i’m too fucking poor white for this shit. I shovel it into a giant pot, fill it with boiling water then strain out the gooblies with a sieve as my ancestors did.
Nicest thing about weather like this is the fact that dickheads in their fart-ripping shitboxxen aren’t out and about making everyone else suffer for their insecurities. Usually it’s wall to wall look at me, ma! on a sat night.
Miserable weather today. The car was getting very low on fuel but I didn’t really want to stop. I’d seen petrol this morning at 193c so made a bargain with myself that I would stop if it was below 190, but otherwise I would put it off. Damn petrol station had 187c. I was very affronted by its refusal to cooperate in my attempt to avoid stopping so decided to make a stand and refuse to fill up at such a rude and uncooperative petrol station. Home has now been successfully achieved and petrol can wait for another day.
I have been earwormed by Mr Squiggle. This is not in fact lots of fun for everyone.
In my jimmy jams at 5pm 'cos i spent all day reorganising and wiring lights in the basement
