  And thus begins the beginning of the chillo season.

  At front is an orange hab , ones at the back are thais. Took under a week to pop which was surprising.

    Thanks for the reminder, I wanted to give them a go this season and wasn’t quite sure when to jump in. I planted Jalapenos last summer that have actually survived winter somewhat, but had almost zero heat. Planning to get something a bit hotter this season

      If I manage to stab myself we have paramedics on site so I should survive. Do you think I could claim it under workcover as a workplace injury?

    Ah bugger! I’ve never actually snapped one, just had that slow extrusion of one side out through a tiny gap, a millimetre at a time until my boob is being uncomfortably prodded.

    source

    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I’ve had that a few times, and one time the wire just worked it’s way out the side so far it was basically an overwire!

  My dog did something that I’ve never seen him do before. Waited until the kid got up from the kitchen table to blow her nose, leaped on to the chair, skinny body stretch out, front paws on the table and hoovered the rest of her meal up in seconds. He didn’t even stop when I walked in. This is why I have rules about pushing chairs in.

  source

  • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Kid now understands why they need to follow the rule too!

    I had a dog that loved walking around on the dining table, so any time a chair wasn’t pushed in she would be up there, whether there was any food or not. The other dog I had at the time would just sit on the chair like you’d expect of any invited guest.

      She took a risk walking 3 metres to get a tissue. She lost her meal.

    Wise and strong! It seems like that’s the best choice to avoid drama as much as possible. I don’t think it’s awful at all to be relieved that you can avoid dealing with people who’ve displayed such entitled and childish behaviour. Doesn’t matter if they’re your own blood relatives even.

  Sammi woke me at 4:00 for snuggles and purrs. Not exactly complaining, given the circumstances.
  She requested breakfast a little later, and after a little trial and error, chicken creamy treats seem to be the way to go.
  Still going to take her back for a follow up with the senior vet as soon as I can, but I’m a lot more hopeful than I was yesterday.

  Had donuts cravings this morning that demanded satisfaction. The Paris theme ones really hit the spot, especially the creme brulee 😋 Still riding the high of Miniest winning “Most Creative Costume” award at her parade on Friday. Costume made it home intact, so now I have a giant wearable book in the loungeroom 😂

  I lead by 3 and with that I’ve won my tipping comp! Woo hoo!

    I am amazed that you’ve been able to tip anything. I won my tipping comp two years running, but this year I’ve just been a complete mess. It is a mystery

    source

    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Also with that said there have been some really bad weeks with tipping and tons of teams losing when they should have won their games.

      Been that sort of a season this year.

      source
    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I tipped a few upsets earlier in the year due to West Coast suddenly winning games early and Gold Coast winning games at their home but losing all their away games until recently.

  Omg I’m eating out ATM in a busy place and I just sneezed into a napkin in a way that made a seal with my mouth. It came out as an enormous squeak sequel thing and turned everyone’s heads. Eek.

    There he was in a busy place
    Shoving his food into his face
    When the urge to sneeze suddenly took over
    He grabbed a napkin to keep his composure
    But a seal he made with his dainty mouth
    An uncouth sound, it’s all gone south
    The cafe turns their heads to him
    As he sits in silence with his sin.

• just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Mother trucker I slept so much last night! Another 10 hours solid? Some unsettling dreams that were an extrapolation of the deeply excruciating arthouse film I watched on Friday (dark lighting, endless rain, depressingly small and crowded concrete living space, and drawn out toilet scenes). I would’ve loved some sun today but no dice, so it’s time to pack up my things and go to uni…

  …though I also just want to spend today curled up and blanked out. It’s okay. Next weekend. Next weekend I will be able to take a real breather.

  I reluctantly turned down an opportunity to catsit for a friend next month because the driving to work/uni/my home (to check in on plants) was gonna be heinous, on top of not having my usual comforts. I do NOT want to burn out again this soon. But… cat.

  source

  • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    You were probably tired if you slept that much. The body has a strange way of making up for sleep eventually.

    Maybe for the best if you were going to find it challenging to catsit with all the travel involved.

    There’s some sun trying to get through the clouds here.

    source

    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah saw a bit of sun poking through on my way to uni but mostly grey. I definitely think you’re right about the tiredness - the mental strain of my studies and all kinds of internal scripts running in the background about whether I’m good enough, memories of past uni experiences, etc and nobody to really talk to about it all (who’d get it), certainly takes a toll.

  There was a Rush cover band playing at Max Watts last night, I wish I could have gone. Usually I’m not one for cover bands but it sounds like these guys play Rush songs exactly the way they did, and they were doing Moving Pictures and the song Hemispheres in full

  source

  • DampSquid@feddit.uk ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I was there! It was pretty great actually. Hemispheres was incredible and the crowd really popped for YYZ. Overall very well done, and some very impressive skills on show.

  I went to get a chicken burger from Red Rooster. They left me sitting at the drive thru window for ages after I’d ordered at the box. Eventually I saw one of the cooks walk up to the guy who was meant to come and see me, he had my burger in his hand and must have said “can I give this to the drive thru?” or something and the guy said yes so he comes over and hands me the burger, says have a good night and closes the window. Notice that at no point had I paid.

  I don’t know if it’s just because I’ve been playing too much cowboy video game but I just left with my burger. Peeled out of there like I’d pulled off a heist. So I’m officially an outlaw now. Life is rough on the other side of the law but it sure is excitin’!

  Every single day I have been sorting and clearing out boxes. Today it’s getting rid of some sewing supplies I will never use. Maybe some one else can get some use. Yesterday it was a bunch of books, some dvds and some kitchenware I didn’t want.

  At my casual retail job, I don’t get a consistent number of hours. Last year, they asked me if I wanted to do a three hour shift that starts at 7am on a Sunday which is every week. I said yes due to the consistency and the pay being good. But I find myself being unable to sleep at a reasonable hour, and so every Sunday, I am extremely groggy and irritable. It’s been a year of this, and I ruined the relationship I was in because of emotional impulsivity due to lack of sleep. I also consistently make little mistakes during the shift that I wouldn’t make if I had slept properly, which also probably affects the way the managers see me. I tend to daudle getting ready because I’m so tired and am usually in a rush to get to work. I also don’t get to go out on Saturday nights, which I guess isn’t that much of a dealbreaker, but still kind of sucks. I’ve figured something has to change. I feel like if I can’t even wake up at 6 without being a freaking insomniac, I don’t think I’ll be able to hold down a job. I don’t know how I’ll be able to wake up for placement if I do teaching or some allied health course.

  So it’s either, I force myself to wake up at 7am every single day and keep the 6am wake up on a Sunday, in the hope that I’ll be able to sleep better and improve my sleep hygiene. This is coming from a night owl who somehow just comes awake when I’m supposed to sleep. I’m thinking this is probably the better option for now because I don’t have the energy or time to write cover letters.

  Or I quit and find a more predictable part time job that will allow me to take annual leave during potential placement next year. This will probably help with giving me a sense of routine.
