    Buenas Noches all. I came here cos it was linked from the old reddit one which is alright sometimes but has some trollers. I see some names from the old lockdown days and pre-reddit “protest” purge. Hope you guise are all well.

    Getting there! One bed’s soil is fluffed up and looking pretty. Added some dynamic lifter too for good measure. Soil will subside a bit so going to throw on somefing on top and give it a another scratch before spring.

    Image

    That bed has never been more empty. Feels good to have a clean start. Also felt good standing on that retaining wall on the right with all my weight and it didn’t budge.

      I’m not a morning person, some of my friends are very cheerful in the morning and as much as I love them I always want to strangle them at times.

    Hearing one of the kids on the hockey team introduce his great-grandma to my son. Totally wild. My great grandmother lived 1867-1952.

    I didn’t even really get the grandparent experience as a kid, let alone great-grandparents.

      source
      • Nath@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        My grandfather was the Anzac. He served in both world wars. He passed away before I was born, though.

        He was an absolute larrikin, there are loads of stories about him. He was famous in his hometown, is mentioned in its history etc.

        I’d share highlights, but it’d probably doxx me. 😂

      Cats love custard. Melbcat used to like the egg custard I’d make.

      Gotta be careful that it’s real vanilla though as imitation vanilla can be toxic to cats

    Finally found all my micro USB cables, and a watch I’ve got looking for about a month or so.

    My girlfriend will collect things up in a grocery bag and dump it in the front room, or even on my desk, when she wants to clean and feel productive.

    Unfortunately that just moves a bunch of unrelated things into a bag together that becomes harder to go through and I lose things because nothing is in a place that makes sense anymore

    source
    • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Ugh Mr P does the grocery bag thing too, just takes everything he feels is superfluous to the room, bag it up or toss it into random containers and dump it in a cupboard or under a bed. I hate it as it then becomes a separate more involved job to go through all the containers and bags and put stuff away like it should have been.

      source
      • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        That was the situation with my watch. There are two places I usually put my watches and it was in neither of them so I couldn’t find it. Then I’m looking for a USB cable that will actually transfer data and there it is in a bag with all this other stuff

        source
    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Reading this is making me twitchy.

      I am big into storing things in a systematic way so everything is easy to find and nothing is lost, my husband likes everything to be out or maybe he is just lazy

      source
      • Taleya@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Rule in our house is if it’s not yours don’t fucking touch it. Make the other person clean that shit.

        Dishes? fine. Old beer/coke cans? Fine. Work bag? In his office. Paperwork / watch / gym stuff? “go put your shit away dude”

        My girlfriend wants to be like this but it doesn’t fully happen. She also goes and cleans up all my stuff when the back part of the house is a complete mess and that’s all her mother’s stuff that could mostly be gotten rid of

        source
    • Baku@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I had 2 cable bags and a small container in my cupboard all full of random cables I’ve collected over time, and when ol mate was rifling through my cupboard he tipped them all over the place, and I don’t know where anything is. And it’s even more annoying because I don’t actually know everything I had in them, so it’s difficult to replace. Until I need it of course, and realise “hey that connector looks familiar, I’m sure I have one somewhere!”

    Whoo, what a long day. Out to the city for movie, chat with friend, lunch at a HK cafe to satiate my cravings (Ovaltine! And yu xiang eggplant and you tiao), then sitting with my friend for hours of driving as she just bought a car and only recently got her licence and wanted to practice driving various routes including all the way across town… had a video call with a family member in between… I’m ready for bed now honestly. Also it’s cold again. zzzzzz.

    My kid and her friends encountered some cookers today so they stopped, read their little signs, had a giggle then as they moved on yelled “you are all a bunch of morons”. ☺

    source
    • wscholermann@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Honestly I would advise against them speaking to cookers. Unfortunately you never know how they might react and I would hate for them to be physically attacked.

      source
      • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        There was no talking to them but you are right. I advised them next time to not stop and just to ignore them.

    So tired today. I only worked 2 days this week but they were pretty physical days and I’m knackered. Managed to get a load of laundry done and the kitchen cleaned. Forgot I’ve been playing nurse to covid sufferers this past week, which has been oddly stressful and emotionally tiring. I just feel spent.
