Doxxing capacity maximised⊠đ beautiful part of Melbourne to be in though thatâs for sure.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Now Iâm getting images of a masked bandit digging up my clivias at 3am.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
wow , they are so beautiful . Your whole garden is beautiful. đ
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Thanks :) Honestly the whole thing really took off when I put the watering system in (wasnât even expensive). I am now a true believer that regular watering on a timer does wonders.

GP check up and blood test results said plenty of sunshine, a nice fat piece of steak, and steroid cream
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I do bloods every 6 months, and the August one always show Iâm low in Vitamin DâŠwhich is probably 90% of Melbourne I assume
bacon@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
my ferritin is 20 and my vitamin D is 28 đ§đ»
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Probably having my final assessment for my new role today, to see if theyâll set me loose on the general public. Has been three weeks training so far. I am exhausted. Iâve been up since 2.30 tossing and turning stressing about it, picturing scenarios in my head etc. Iâll get other chances if I donât pass but would be nice to rip the band aid off
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
đ€đ€
Eagle@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
May the band aid be not sticky anymore and come off with ease.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Dab of olive oil helps a band aid come off painlessly.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Good luck! đ€đŒ
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
So thereâs three people in my team. The good one is leaving. Which leaves the one who is honestly like dealing with a child.
Ah well.
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Tonightâs mood booster is some peri peri mock-chicken strips bought on a whim yesterday. I shall throw a zucchini in there for helth, and half an onion, and⊠idk. Eat it with rice⊠cooked in broth! With cloves and cardamom! (I highly recommend the latter for really elevating even the simplest rice dish.)
Also just remembered I stress-bought frozen dumplings last night. Iâm set for lunch tomorrow, woohoo!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
cardamom
Any time people go heavy on cardamom I is always a fan.
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I use it in pasta dishes too. so good.
Catfish@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
And donât throw out the pods, so much flavour in those too.
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Havenât had the heart to tell my supervisor at this job that Iâm seriously mentally struggling atm. Iâm off for a week from Friday night so I feel like I should see how I go with that before I go any further. I think Iâm going to have to leave one of my jobs and cut down my overall hours to make this work, but itâs really bad timing in terms of workloadâŠ
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
My wins /gratitude list today
â up at six after a good nightâs sleep. â Good food packed for work â Yummy coffee is yummy.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
ooh all looking healthy.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
They are. I try to keep a clean garden. :)
One thing that has happened tho is since I stopped feeding birds there has been an explosion of aphids, I stopped because my neighbour didnât like the mess.
Iâm going to feed them again.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Love ya crucifix orchids, donât see them about much.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
the little mauve ones are dendrobium kingii, a native of Sydney and the white are cymbidium
I do have crucifix orchids but they are not in flower yet, here they are from last year
spoiler
dumblederp@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
My orange cliviaâs are blooming for the first time this year. I grew them from seeds I collected.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
so cool and they are a unique flower, they have both red and yellow pigments to make the orange. đ
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
So colourful
SituationCake@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Beautiful!
Alamutjones@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Noooo. Just generally
mysticgreg@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Seconded.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Benefit of a person with COVID at home is that I have been told to WFH all week.
Oh noâŠanyway
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Howâs the little one doing?
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Heâs fine. Spent most of the day gaming and chilling. Doses of panadol and nurofen kept the fever down. Coughs a bit, but okay.
And little is kind of misleadingâŠheâs nearly 15 and 6 ft tall đ
Alamutjones@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I donât know what dinner is going to be, but it will be hearty and full of veggies. That description fits almost everything in my freezer
Duenan@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Pasta?
Duenan@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I pooped by Aldi to grab a loaf of bread and saw this.
Not an egg in sight. Is it really that bad right now?
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I pooped in the woods a few times. They didnât have eggs either.i lodged a complaint with manager.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Well at least they have logs now.
Pilk@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
No eggs at my Coles.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I think you meant popped. I hope you meant popped.
I get eggs from IGA. Thereâs always heaps.
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I buy mine from the local grocer, theyâve always got stock. Not the cheapest but not hideously expensive either
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
ahem eggspensive
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
yes, eggs were 11.50 at woolies, I didnât get any. A chook to roast was 30, didnât get one.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Home sweet home. Iâm going to throw some laundry on and crack a bag of Doritos
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Spent a few hours last night on the couch in cosy pyjamas, under a soft blanket, ignoring the world and watching a new (to me) K Drama. Followed by one of the most solid sleeps Iâve had in a long, long time. Not feeling any better about being at work today, but at least it was a nice evening.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Good morning. It is time for me to get up. I donât want to
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I call them weekdays
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Christmas tree arrived. Woo.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Somebodyâs ready early!
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
My checklist is extensive
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I love Christmas trees. đđČ
tell us all about it, how tall, what colour, what type of tree đČđ
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Uh yeah, the theme this year is âDark Matterâ so had to get a fake tree this time because I need black. A 7 foot black Bavarian. Disco balls, laser light and so on will be involved. Itâs a massive day for me.
This was last year: Image
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
'puter rebuild complete and I didnât break anything and it turns on. Which brings us to the rave. Upon turning it on I honestly thought Iâd be watching everything burn right in front of me
melbaboutown@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I dragged myself into an Uber to the vet because they had stock⊠felt like I was gonna puke but bebe has her Fortiflora! Sheâs slurping it up right now.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I took a short walk yesterday. Thankfully didnât run into any of the local ferals, but am absolutely exhausted.
I saw the ginger ninja again but he was skittish and didnât seem to remember me. :(
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I stepped outside for a few minutes to enjoy the lovely sunshine. Iâm now considering surgical removal of my sinuses, possibly with a stanley knife.
Yay spring.
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
One more assignment to do and thatâs another 2 units down. I wanted to get it done this week but I have to wait for the results of my previous assignment which release on Monday to do it because I need to use the feedback I received.
It gives me one week to get it done. Itâs only 800 words but I like having assignments done with time to spareâŠjust in case so one week is giving me the twitches.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâm too tired to do art or tinker with electronics. đ Maybe Iâll just chuck some laundry on
Alamutjones@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Time for a cuppa and a mandarin
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Well, hereâs an enigma. Rebuilding old manâs desktop and he wants all the connectivity at the front. I said well, you could turn it around but then how would you turn it on. He said well Iâm sure office works has something. This is a man of science. Canât win them all.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Our hard rubbish has been collected this morning. Other suburbs in the same municipality get a rubbish week where everyone puts theirs out for collection, but for some reason in our suburb we have to book twice a year. I hate it, would much prefer a week where everyone does it. Last year someone came and dumped extra stuff on our pile, so the council tried to tell us that because it was over 2 cubic metres (or something) that counted as two collections đđ
Alamutjones@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Grave of the Fireflies is on Netflix.
I donât know if I can face complete emotional destruction on a Tuesday night
Catfish@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Phew, made it home before the porch pirates struck! Theyâd have been disappointed as itâs all cake decorating stuff, but I need neither the headache nor duplicate expense. Fuck I hope this party goes to plan.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
mm, nom nom, the taste of turps. I just finished cleaning all the old wax and polish off my old sewing machine drawers. I did it outside but still đ
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I donât think Iâve seen a more blatant example of main character syndrome than seeing real estate agents putting themselves into videos showing the house theyâre selling.
And I donât mean talking about the house. Theyâre in the video sitting on the couch or opening the door to enter with all this dramatic music playing, or staring out from the balcony all reflective and stuff.
Good lord.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
They also wear shitty suits.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Their tailors hate them too
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
They know they add no actual value to the house, so they need validate themselves by adding perceived value.
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâll have to see if I can find it but I remember seeing one near my place where the person (not sure if agent or owner) was sitting in the bath tub, topless on the bed (facing away). Absolutely bizarre behaviour
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
âHey look how nice I dress and my expensive haircut and shoes! Thatâs how you know itâs a good idea to buy a house from me!â
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
âSee this shiny German car Iâm leasing for far more than I afford?..SEE IT?â
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
For some reason we donât see those big signs with pics of the agents anymore. đ€·ââïž
tombruzzo@aussie.zone âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Well they have such vacuous personalities theyâre perfect self insert protagonists
