It’s the man’s birthday on Monday so I’m thinking about making him a giant mousse, like in a trifle bowl, instead of a cake.

Chocolate mousse is a worthy birthday cake. You could even decorate with sprinkles on top.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Nah, he’s not into fancy extras just a bit of whipped cream on top.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 8 months ago
That sounds legendary 😋
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 months ago
He’s worth it
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 8 months ago
i’d wife my mrs again if she did that. Shes already my wife so not totally sure how that’d work. But when they say the stomach is the way to a mans heart: for me thats Chocolate Mousse!!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 months ago
It’s gonna be about 8 decent servings.

Made a new friend today. A new young neighbour introduced himself and asked to be friends. I asked if he liked dinosaurs and of course the answer was yes, I said if he and his grandma could wait a moment I had some dino puzzles he could have. He danced with joy. 🥰🦕🦖
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 8 months ago
did you ask him his favorite?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
No, it was just a very quick talk in passing.
fullkitwanker@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Preso is done! Went better than expected and there was one question for me (didn’t have enough time for more as the previous speaker took up a lot more time). Got a few good comments as well after! Go me 😄
just_kitten@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Go you!! Congratulations. Tuck that memory away to come back to next time you got to do a preso.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Yay, nice work!
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 8 months ago
What a relief that must be! Well done!
tone212_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Well done! I also get super nervous giving presentations, the relief once they’re done and the confidence boost is nice.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
yay
we knew you would ace it
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Nice work!
Duenan@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I ate chocolate cake at my first meal for today.
I feel no shame!
StudChud@aussie.zone 8 months ago
There is no shame! We’re adults, if we want to eat cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, then that is our goddamn right!
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I’ve done that more than once 😆what type of chocolate cake was it?
Duenan@aussie.zone 8 months ago
hmm chocolate sponge with a gooey topping.
I chucked it into the microwave for about 10-15 seconds as well.
mysticgreg@aussie.zone 8 months ago
You shouldn’t feel shame! That’s not shameful, it’s WINNING.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
this is normal breakfast food in Belgium*
- lived for many years in the land o’ chocolate
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Best part of being an adult!
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I reckon that’s the start of a good day.
StudChud@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Got a referral for a CT, a blood test, and if they don’t show anything, then an MRI.
GP also suggested shingles, and to return if I develop a rash, especially because it’s my face. Amazing lol.
She’s new to my clinic, but literally the best, kindest experience I’ve had. So thorough, and intelligent, and it feels like she cares. I’ll defo be returning to her.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 8 months ago
So lucky to find a doctor like that. Follow her if she ever changes practices. Finding a good GP is a needle in a haystack.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 8 months ago
It’s so nice when you find a good dr. Hope you’re feeling better soon
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 8 months ago
It makes such a difference when you speak to a doctor that actually cares.
Glad you at least are being taken seriously ❤️
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I fucked up. Instead of picking up a bag of Bounties I’ve picked up the inferior Milky Way. I will have to live with this until tomorrow.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I never deliberately buy Milky Ways but I quite enjoy them whenever I have one. Same for Bounties actually.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Oh I had 5 of them but I’m still disappointed
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I’m so sorry.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Fanks.
I can only blame Mars Wrigley (who ever he is) for this travesty for making both packets blue and white. 🤬
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I would rabidly eat a bag of either

New Malatang (kinda hotpot where you choose ingredients yourself, then hand them over to be cooked in a soup) place on corner of Elizabeth and la Trobe for lunch today. As usual I chose too many ingredients and it was like $32 but it was delicious and I’m stuffed:
just_kitten@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Mala hotpot is the beeeeeest 2am food

I have absolutely got pathologic rejection sensitivity of some description. The way my stomach turned just now because I noticed a specific person had unfollowed me on Instagram is crazy.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 8 months ago
There’s lots of good reasons people unfollow, eg grew appart, or they are going through some life events, cutting back on social media, etc. When you unfollow someone, do you expect them to feel the same? Might help with the perspective. Meaning, do you think it’s ok for you to unfollow someone but don’t like it if others do the exact same?
Pilk@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Oh totally, I have no issue coming up with a hundred perfectly reasonable explanations. It’s the initial sting of rejection – rational or otherwise – I can’t seem to avoid ;)
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 8 months ago
worth exploring that with a professional.
Pilk@aussie.zone 8 months ago
It’s on the list!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Me too.
I think being aware of it is awesome.
I once met a guy who said I made him the most depressed he’s felt in five years because he asked me on a date and I rejected him. It has helped me pinpoint the rejection sensitivity, self-soothe and remember not to catastrophise.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Oh thank goodness today is pretty cruisey at work. Some family drama that cropped up and left a bad taste in my mouth. Angling to leave early and go meet my friend for dinner earlier and bring some positive vibes in. This weather is really lovely too.
Duenan@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I feel you on the family drama front, it’s not fun at all to be involved in it.
Hope you’ve been feeling better and you have a good meet up with your friend tonight.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
so many hugs
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Doubling the positive vibes your way! ✨✨

Morning all! So now Elder minipeeler has tested positive for covid ☹️ Being stuck at home with a covid sufferer who repeatedly left his room without warning hasn’t worked out very well for him. Luckily he just seems to have a slight sniffle, but as an introvert he is more than happy to stay in his room with a supply of snacks and drinks and tech 😆. Miniest has some cold and flu symptoms but tested negative, but I’m keeping her in her room with a similar supply of drinks and tech. Mr P has pledged to stick his head out the window for a smoke if he needs one and not leave his room at all today, but it’s a bit bloody late for that. I’m still testing negative and have no symptoms, but I have constantly been wearing a mask since Sunday and being as meticulous as I can.
Eagle@aussie.zone 8 months ago
It’s hard to avoid in your home, you’ve done very well!
AJSadauskas@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I hope your eldest gets well soon <3
It’s not much of a silver lining, but you’ve just won any argument that happens in the next six months or so.
“Yeah, well you gave the kids covid by walking through the bloody living room every five minutes!”

Should I keep making the frugal and gardening megathreads? I’m trying to make Lemmy more active and encourage posting
I might also share my egg recipes if it’s not a bad time for it. (Are eggs still limited?) They’re not glamorous but will feed your family cheaply in a pinch. They deserve to be passed down.

TIL: The Victorian Housing Register has a preferred location area “Undefined” which lists “Blackwood, Bulla, Derrimut, Docklands”.

Maybe not the best idea to pick it for your application.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I got very lucky this morning, had an incredibly clear run on the Eastern/Alexandra Pde even though I didn’t leave when I normally consider is the best time to avoid the worst of it.
That was then cancelled by spilling coffee all over the centre console 🥲 I wiped up as much as I could but it got in some nooks and crannies and I’ll have to use a little pin or something to try cleaning them out… Sigh
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 8 months ago
One of the boys learnt how to say ‘more’. Not just the word but the meaning as well. We’ve also been teaching the boys a bit of sign language because apparently kids can pick up on it quicker and it’s good to know anyway.
In reality, signing ‘more’ allows him to ask for more food whilst his mouth is already full
StudChud@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Sometimes I get super stressed about buying a house, as in I never will. But then I read about people getting their deposits scammed away and I’m kinda okay with being relatively poor lol
I’d feel so so bad if I got scammed out of a $500k deposit, so I’m just gonna enjoy the little things I have that bring me happiness haha

Can’t sleep, so watching good ol’ SVU.

A late gratitude thread today.
Grateful for the chocolate muffins I made on Saturday. Eating the last one now.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Agreed to wait till 3pm for a coffee with a colleague. Why do I do this to myself?!
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Ugh, up early gang. Was going to make myself sleep, but dropping back into my sleep cycle will only feel worse when the alarm goes off.
These Winter afternoons had been gorgeous. I am looking forward to this one.

I travel into Melbourne for work. About an hour and a half drive.
I used to come in via Sunbury Rd near the airport but that route has shit itself getting in or out since roadwork is increasing. So I’ve started using the Calder and Ring Road near Keilor.
I thought the Sunbury Rd area was dangerous. Jesus Christ, if you decide to ever drive on the Ring Road you’re really just hoping you don’t die. Just the short stretch to get back on the freeway out of Melbourne is basically a suicide run.
Has it always been like this?

So I just found out my local Maribyrnong councillor has died of unknown causes in her home. This is quite shocking.

can I just say i love cheesy spy novels and movies
grew up lovin’ 'em, then for a few years had no patience now I find them pleasantly amusing

Temu day today - all 4 packages marked on board for delivery. Many sewing notions are included, I am looking forward to finding out what sort of quality they are. Especially the impulse purchased embroidery kits, they could be either really good or really bad! I will also now have way more sticky tape than I probably need, as after ordering I found three rolls in a drawer I didn’t realise I had, so I should now have a lifetime supply.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 8 months ago
There’s something magnificently primal about javelin throw.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Still waiting for packages ☹️
I have done some random tidying, a load of washing and some sorting of shoes - insoles in one pair, and relacing with elastic for peak laziness in another. I might try walking Mr Woof and hopefully we will return home to packages.
