Winston (neighbours’ dog) has found a new way to jump the fence:
Just jumps over, barks at trees, the air, rolls around then goes home.

I have had a very rough week and I appreciate this content.
CATS
OK. Let’s see if I sleep another 13 hours. goodnight everyone 🛌
Did you sleep 13 hours? I got 8 hours and 37 minutes, but feel like I need 13 hours
Thankfully only 10. Which is better.
Was so weird yesterday to be up for 4 hours then it’s dark.
Watching an Attenborough thing with the p’s tonight.
My old man is a conservative (staunchly votes libs nats he’s a doc, man of science)… was basically about climate / ecological collapse, shit is grim (and it didn’t hit the sides).
"Bottom, you should get the word out, your generation needs to do this’.
Pointed out he’d been voting for cunts bringing coal into parliament…
It. did. not. end. well.
I am just going to leave the room next time a bit more quietly with less colourful language when these issues come up.
I could hear your dad’s statement in that exact Kew grandpa voice. I would also advise quietly leaving next time…
I’ve stopped worrying about climate change, or at least stopped arguing.
When stuff needs to happen for national security reasons the government will force change, and when too much money to disaster is lost insurance companies will force change.
It might happen soon enough but it will happen.
Looking forward to having money to go out on weekends.
For now, making music and hassling the cat.
Meet me for lunch when you are ready! I know all the lunch places
Second weekend in a row of being stuck in bed due to health condition being flared up due to working in the office the day before.
Not happy. The employer changed their wfh arrangements after I’d started work with them ☹️
Heading down the bellarine today with the heavy af studio subwoofer that I put through a wall getting it down stairs the other day. Finally will be reunited with the main speakers.
Let’s see if I can put it through 2 walls. I like my chances.
What brand if I may ask?
Behringer 2092
www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=0316-AAD
To be paired with event opals.
A lot of people sort of up their nose at behringer, but all the behringer stuff I have (headphone amp, sub and 2 BCF2000’s) all still work fine years later.
Smashy smashy render yesterday, smashy smashy concrete today, smashy smashy bank acct at ikea and aussie home brewing tomorrow
Keg king Springvale isn’t open Sunday AFAIK.
Well that’s gonna put a potato up the tailpipe
Just 1 errand to run today and that’s it.
Was hoping to put it off to tomorrow, but the store isnt open on Sundays sadly.
another beautiful sunny day .🌞
Anti-gratitude.
I cannot, for the life of me, wake up early. Missed three morning gym classes this week.
I was so tired I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. Didn’t take my phone out of my pocket, and didn’t turn my lamp off (although it was only on dim). Even though I evidently needed it, my quality of sleep is quite noticeably worse if I don’t turn the light off before sleeping.
Also the other kid left the house in a bit of a state which I haven’t resolved, and I can’t fucking find anything, so I think I need to do housework today
I am ungrateful for the cats kicking litter everywhere when I just finished sweeping!
I woke up at 10 today. Still not early enough. Need to get back to 6:30am!
I hear you. That’s my whole week next week.
I am ungrateful for the poor plumbing in this apartment
I am also ungrateful for my pickled beetroot having gone off. Burgers will be lacking 😾
Also I wish Aldi had a website that showed the stuff they sold. Would make it easier.
Gratitude thread!
It’s the weekend :)
Yesterday, I took migraine meds at the start of a migraine and they actually worked. It went away. This doesn’t happen often. It may yet return, but I’m taking the win.
Partner and kids get back today. House is clean, and ready for the chaos. Can’t wait.
Grateful for a nice day
Fluffball
And stress relief from finding work
Thankful for coffee. Coffee! It’s so delicious and warm and yummy.
Unexpected sunshine!!!
The existence of hot jam doughnuts.
they look very decadent 😊
YASSS!
Okay, the two g&ts from yesterday are hitting differently now… Should’ve hydrated more…
Have one with brunch.
The only way to keep going is keep drinking!
I am actually going out for brunch, though not the bottomless kind. I’m going to try out this Dutch cafe someone recommended in this thread a while back… nursing a lemon and honey at the moment.
👌 gin and tonic is actually more hydrating than water. MythBusters confirmed this one

Morning! I’ll take a little layered lemon/lime lumpcake
It seems pretty clear that the cops probably aren’t going to be coming out, so I did a walk through of my spare room to try and find anything else that was missing. To be honest, it’s a bit tricky to figure out what’s missing, because I had a lot of things for parts or that I was planning on fixing up eventually. Or stuff that I got just for a project and hadn’t gotten around to using yet. So I don’t actually know every single thing that was in here. That room is basically my version of a garage. He also didn’t take the obvious stuff, like my tv or computer monitor, so there’s nothing my eye is immediately drawn to because of an absence.
The only 2 things I noticed missing now are a drill set and a Meccano set. But I did also notice another old phone is completely fucked. Like bent in half, with the screen completely detached. The screen is in 4 pieces snapped across my room. I also noticed that from my main room, my 3DS and my only other old phone are both missing. That solidifies in my mind he definitely did get in here, which I haven’t been 100% on because:
Most of the things missing from my main room are all things that I remember thinking about bringing with me while I was away. But it was really fucking with my mind, because I distinctly remember thinking about taking say, my aroma diffuser. I didn’t remember taking it (or not taking it). I know it’s weird to take an aroma diffuser to a hotel, but I’d just bought some nice smelly things for it (which I now realise are also missing) a few days earlier. Seriously, that was all fucking with my mind and making me feel like I have dementia. But this certainly solidifies that I am NOT crazy and I did NOT take these things with me, because the old phone and 3DS were both under a stack of paperwork in my drawer. I am certain that the thought of bringing them did not even cross my mind.
The 3DS is a huge loss. Did you have it homebrewed so you could run a bunch of other stuff on it?
Yep :|
Even though I never had one growing up, I still felt nostalgic for them. I received it for my 16th bday and was over the moon. Spent my pocket money on an SD card a few days later and spent a day getting the homebrew stuff happening. Nintendo shut down their e-shop like 2 weeks after I got it too. Fun times.
Also I suck at Mario kart, and I need to not suck before I stop playing it :(
time to make lists and to keep a journal
Yeah. I’m going to create a spreadsheet and log everything in both my rooms along with serial numbers and photos. The serial numbers and photos probably only help if the cops decide to go searching, but knowing what exactly I have will prove useful. Probably save me for double buying things too
the mass of humanity at ikea during lunch time is expectedly challenging
The subwoofer is in! Didn’t damage anything (more).
I wasn’t able to really use it back home because it was too much.
Forgot how loud it was. Which brings us to yet another rave choooon
Bit of a Balancing Act moving it around so happy that’s over. All I need to do now is sand and paint the filled bit of wall I fucked and all will be okay.
I got a pamphlet thingy from my local councillor where she’s whinging about proposed high density housing. She included a link to a (state) government consultation page on it. But their consultation and public opinion process closed 3 months ago. This pamphlet was most certainly not in there on Wednesday, so it can’t be an old one.
Also, what’s with the photos ministers and councillors put on their propaganda/advertising material? Why do they always look like robots trying to be humans? I don’t think anytime I’ve ever received their photos they actually looked like normal people. Reminds me of zuckerburg. It’s uncanny.
Just beat Bayle in the Elden Ring DLC. I’ve found a lot of the boss fights since Dark Souls 3 felt like cheap and tedious slogs, but I really liked this one.
The NPC quest line leading up to the fight was great too, as well as seeing where you fight him before the showdown.
I think Elden Ring has the best NPC questlines since the first Dark Souls and the DLC just keeps that going
The last bit of healing from the breakup is self-forgiveness. The relarionship ended and he blocked me everywhere because I sent him a message that was childish and kind of rude l. In hindsight, I was anxiously attached and codependent, and even the tiniest bit of distance sent me on a worry frenzy. That was combined with things in the relationship that made me feel like he didn’t care, like telling me I should be sending good quality memes when I sent him virtual flowers lol.
I obviously know better now and vow to never act batshit crazy again, but the embarrassment and shame just cause me to spiral a bit when I’m feeling down. I just dwell on shit a bit too much.
bloody hell it’s gotten cold
Today was a good test of my new headlight bulbs. They were appropriately glowy. Unlike the old ones, which seemed very dim even before one of them died prematurely.
My head is still in pain after having coffee and food and lots of water. Have attempted the Nurofen. Going out for dinner and hope this clears soon.
… Actually I can think of one reason why my headache didn’t improve, I had to navigate Sydney Rd traffic and find parking. That can go get absolutely fucked
I really curse this radial transport network that requires me to go into town to head out again, because I would’ve gladly gone on a tram if it didn’t take over an hour in total each way
Went to the zoo with the kids for the dinos alive event. The zoo is much better with kids than I expected. They could run around safely to get them out of the pram and there’s a great kid’s room near the entry.
My boy is still a bit scared of dinosaurs when they move and make noise but they still had a good time overall
Went out earlier to take advantage of the sun and break down the box the couch came in for the yellow bin.
Five minutes later … 🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️
Has anyone tried No.22 cafe on Flinders St? It’s an Italian cafe we came across today and it’s so goooood!
Have sads… $40+ Wagyu rump at the old Sarah Sands.
Overcooked and underwhelming.
