  Very hard counselling session today, still glad we’re going but it was very difficult. We’re both giving each other some space in the house, and I’ve been listening to Radiohead all afternoon*…sad face*

    so many hugs

    They are. Hang in there. Love myself some Radiohead, but maybe ease in to something slightly more upbeat of uplifting.

  I’ve never given a fuck about sport tbh and never understood why people get so worked up and passionate about team sports in particular. Admittedly many sports folk are physically attractive but that’s where my interest ends 😆.

  Maybe you have to be more inclined to be tribal in nature for team sports in particular.

    The Olympics are the one time countries from all over the world come together in the name of friendship. Sure it’s an ideal, the world can be an awful place, but we need ideals to aspire to.

    I love it so much.

  • MuffinHeeler@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    For me, I love having something to stick on in the background, to occasionally watch. The kids love the idea of the best of the best smashing it out too.

    source
  • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    For me it’s something that I love watching and have taken an interest in. I listen to sports related stuff and it gives me something to do and enjoy.

    I support a team and feel passionate about it to the degree that I hate seeing my team pounded and lose that I turn off the tv or switch channels.

    I’m not sporty by any means but in a unique sort of thing it allows me to connect with people at work and have chats to people about it if they follow the same sport that wouldn’t otherwise allow me to because my other interests are something that are hard to talk about to others (gaming).

    Have you ever been in an office and you’ve scrunched up a piece of paper, aimed at the bin, got it in and others in the room gave a little cheer “shot wscholermann!”?

    Well times that by 100. These athletes are the best of the best, on the world stage competing for a medal. Why wouldn’t you want to cheer these guys on?

      I can honestly say that’s never happened to me.

      To be clear I don’t wish people ill will, I’m just very meh about it.

      source
  • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I don’t have any interest in everyday sports. I don’t watch it and don’t play it. (And I don’t gamble, which I think is a big attractor for some people being very into sports). But I enjoy the olympics to see some of the exotic sports like gymnastics and javelin and diving. I don’t really care who wins. And the olympics has a different atmosphere, it seems more pure or something? (I know it’s full of cheats, I mean it’s not for profit)

  I made a cake. It has slivered almonds on top.

    Slivered almonds remind me of finger and toenail clippings. I still eat them though. They go nicely with stewed apples.

  Morning all.
  Friend I haven’t seen since - geez, since before Mum died - is coming down for a catch-up and to see the new place (and meet the cats).
  House unit is a bit messy, so I’m trying to motivate myself to get out of bed and start cleaning. A difficult task when Sammi’s snuggled into my side.

  more boring long tales of adventures in the domestic arts

  Some more steps in restoring a pair of antique chairs. Here I have started to strip the old chair seat off, , exposing the springs. I took all of it off, the cover and padding, took out all the tacks, then removed the base and springs. Then I reversed it. Put a new base liner on then sewed the springs back on, then wove new supporting webbing and stapled it on . Put the original kapok padding back on, then a new padding liner, then the tapestry cover. Lastly I will put on a strong fabric liner over the webbing and springs. Nearly done!

    This is awesome. Thank you. I love seeing the restoration process.

      thanks, it’s my first attempt at this kind of work too, the other chairs I did were just fabric and padding over a wooden chair seat

  Some days a surface level clean won’t do and today was one of days. Love the feeling of a freshly cleaned house, but none of the steps to achieve it.

  Went to Crown Gold Class tonight to wat h Deadpool & Wolverine.

  Jfc, the food there has always been overpriced “shitty cinema food”, but now it’s absolutely revolting. I had to spit out my first and only bite of the cheese burger, and my partner couldn’t eat her margarita pizza as it was more salty than the heavily salted popcorn. Also why did they take nachos off the menu, something it would take a buffoon to fuck up?

    I’m going on Sunday because a friend has free gold pass tickets that are about to expire. Is there free popcorn or do you have to buy it??

    source

    • indisin@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      You get unlimited “free” popcorn if you order/share 5 items from the food menu which costs $110, otherwise you have to buy popcorn separately

    I’ve always been curious about crown. I think from memory they have a KFC that’s open until 3am on Friday nights or something like that.

    The one on chapel Street wins though, open til 6am before closing for a whopping 4 hours. Madness!

    source

    • indisin@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      You know in all my years of living here I’ve never seen that KFC but a quick Google says it exists and is open until 5am.

      I’ve probably never seen it because of the golden rule of “never eat at a Crown”. I made an exception for the cinema and that was definitely the last time.

  That’s it, tonight is pizza night… No energy for much else… couldn’t get myself out of bed/couch let alone the house. Had a bit of a think through finances today, and it’s been sobering to look at the budget I need to set so I can go down to 4 days a week while also reaching savings goals. But I think I can allow myself a pizza tonight, at least.

  source

  • calhoon2005@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Family of four pizza night last week was $107…😳

    source

    • Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      So hard to wrap my head around. Meanwhile in Singapore, every coffee related drink is an average of $10. Even in SGD, that is $8, which is wild. But even Melbourne coffee is pushing up over $6. (I guess when it comes to commercial rent I can understand why.)

      I sometimes wonder when I’ll one day just go, nope. I think it’s because I’m not a big spender in other areas that I kind of justify the cost.

      But pizza… I love it, but rarely eat it anymore because even consistency is an issue. The fancy pants pizza is nice, but I’m still always hungry.

      source
    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Ouchhh. I just paid $25 for a large seafood pizza, which isn’t that bad in today’s world but isn’t gonna be a weekly thing…

  I’m feeling like a prison warden with all the keys I have now. I’ve got 7 keys on my main ring + 2 trolley tokens, a resus shield, and a little knicknack thing the old LT gave me from Indonesia. When I moved in, I was annoyed at having to carry 2 keys around with me

  source

  • MuffinHeeler@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    When my neighbours moved in they rekeyed the whole house. Screen doors, sliding doors, solid doors, window locks… everything. They now have 1 key for their entire house. I think it’s a great idea, but I didn’t ask how much it cost.

    source

    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I looked up the prices recently - it depends on how many locks you have, but a whole house is a few hundred dollars. From memory it was a call out fee and $70 per lock.

  Took the kids to the Tram Museum today. It was a big hit, they just liked climbing up and down the trams. I liked it as someone who didn’t grow up in Melbourne I got to learn a bit more about the history of the trams and the tram network.

  I also learnt in a video that Melbourne has the largest tram network in the world at 250km of tramline. Whilst it’s good to have that title, it doesn’t sound like much. We could certainly do more to up those numbers.
