What whiskey?
I shall judge the niceness.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Hobart Whiskey: Tasmanian Whiskey Liqueur, and Tawny Cask Finish. Also have some of their signature but haven’t cracked that yet

Saturday afternoon is the perfect time for “doing sweet fuck all”. This is my recharge time from the work week.
Sunday is for chores etc.
But Saturday afternoon is blissful nothingness.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
My chores are done for today. Finally getting some food then I’m doing SFA till my Geelong Cats play this late afternoon.
Almost feels like I didn’t get much done in the end and it’s Already so late.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Was gonna go to CERES community garden today, but the weather is dodgy so no guarantee the market will be on.
My oodie has been donned, and escape room game has been loaded 😙👌
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Ooh what game?
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
The House of Da Vinci on the play store. It’s an interactive puzzle, really pretty! And puzzling! I have discovered I may think too laterally, or not laterally enough 😂
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Waaaaakkkkeeee Uuuuuup Everybody! Time’s a-wasting. Lots to do today. Big shop for bulk household stuff, market for fresh stuff (Preston), laundry, garden & a lunch appointment that I’m not altogether thrilled about. This afternoon I’ll probably dissolve into a puddle and rest.
oztrin@aussie.zone 1 month ago
After yesterday’s drama I’m just going to putter and chill.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
cracks an eye I just did stuff yesterday
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I have lots to do as well… Lots of NOTHING!

Have you tidied your room?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Have been learning about cars the last few weeks as I’m about to buy something cheap.
Looks like the old reliable corolla is going to be the pick.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Corolla 4 life.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Can’t go wrong. I reckon the Hyundai i30 is a solid bet too…If I bother getting a car again a good ole corolla is high on the list.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Will suss it out, cheers!
I mean, the car I really want I might be able to buy down the track. But for now, it’s getting from a to b
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Ugh, I hate that feeling when your ears don’t pop after a flight… but I’m glad I got some shut eye even though the person next to me had no concept of personal space. I generally avoid night flights for this reason even though flying during the day “wastes time”. Good night 😴
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Gah. Lost the prelims :(
Going to bury my sorrow in something now.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Commiserations 🍷
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It was a valiant effort at least. Great game
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
There’s only 3 things in this world I don’t eat. Cantaloupe, rice pudding and porridge. Now I can add papaya to that list. Ick.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Sardines, anchovies and sardines.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Bullshit. Everybody loves sardines.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Eggplants are my worst enemy. Makes me throw up.
Olives are next and then hmm anchovies?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
You can definitely get bad eggplants.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Crunchy peanut butter and tripe. Oysters. Not too keen on mussels anymore either. Sushi is fine but I don’t really like the soft squish
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I loooovvvve oysters. Straight up. Down the hatch. No lemon. No pepper and salt.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’ll take your hand and join you…
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
None of them register in my brain as food.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Fair. Cucumber, olives, and coffee for me. Not that coffee’s a food, but people sneak it in.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I eat/drink these things everyday. Thanks for your courage though.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Balsamic vinegar, pickled herring and giardiniera
Papaya is great, but can be off putting.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Mussels in vinegar are weird. I’ll still eat them but they are chewy little fuckers.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
endive, ersatz chocolate, tripe
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’ve never had tripe because my mother refused to cook it after growing up with it.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Cantaloupe, rice pudding and bread n butter custard 🙅🏼♀️⛔
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Bread n butter pudding is alright. Just make that shit fancy.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Son has recovered from COVID, only for the wife to be struck down.
No idea how I’m still avoiding it. Superior genes perhaps?
Or more likely my flu+covid shot I got earlier this year.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Some people apparently are just resistant to it. I still haven’t had it, and haven’t had a covid vax for a couple of years now. It’s been floating around at work on a semi-regular basis so I’m pretty sure I would have been exposed quite a few times.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 month ago
We are strong. Everyone else, very weak.
We shall rule this realm and dance on a mountain of bones!!!

Considering he’s so small, Chook is an absolute pig. The MESS, my god
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
They flick the husks out of their cage!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Big News. An arrest has been made over the Easey St murders.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
What a grub. I was aware of the murders but the details got worse as I read on.
I hope he either gets extradited or some more decent men than him have some strong opinions on what he did…
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Fantastic news! So long and they finally caught that fuckup
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I first saw it on r/melbourne and now I think it’s been taken down. The mods are fuckwits over there.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I got an art book with recipes for mixing colours. You have no idea what a help that is, and something that I haven’t seen before.
It’s so fucked you can’t share and archive resources. If it wasn’t a crime I would be a volunteer archivist scanning or photographing books and uploading them. Just so things don’t disappear when they go out of print and physical copies dwindle.
I’ve also missed out on getting Morpho books because I didn’t want to click a random link on social media to download them and now they’ll be gone off the Internet Archive.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Open Library has scans of older books online.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Thanks, I’ll check it out
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 month ago
HathibTrust also
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Hey I ended up downloading infinity train. I can upload it to my google drive if you want to grab a copy.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Ah thanks, I tend to avoid pirating though
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 month ago
In many cases you actually can scan things, and potentially share them. There are many loopholes in the Aust Copyright Act, and different ones in those of other countries. Your local library will have an ILL service, an academic library (if you have access) ought have an excellent one. There will likely be fees, but absolutely anything not too fragile to handle can be made available.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Sounds like a massive organisational job for someone like me who can barely run their own life. I’m more thinking about the things I already own.
The art books, a few computer books, craft and sewing books… growing up there was a classic recipe book called Australian Cookery and the Vogue Book of sewing but they may be gone now. I had some rare cds but one was lost in a hasty move and another was stolen 🙄
I’ll have to look at the laws but I’m so risk averse because I don’t have the money for a lawyer and would be hit hard if my internet was cut off.
I wish it was just legally ok to upload things to allow fair access and ensure they weren’t lost… culture, resources, basic skills.
tone212_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I left the ramen restaurant hungry. You’d think $25 would get you a decent sized ramen but no. Two tiny pieces of pork belly. And the broth was like chicken soup.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Decided to take my (SILs) bike on the scenic foreshore front beach path back home from the shops. Usually don’t do that as people (and kids / dogs) are a bit all over the place. Anyway now I have a bell with a unicorn on it which I’m required to use by law. it also has a front basket. I didn’t use the bell but felt empowered (and got laughed at by two young girls). They didn’t have unicorn bells or a front basket so fuck em. I’m gonna get some tassels next.
In more serious news the Pt. Lonny front beach was absolutely smashed by recent swell / weather. Had a chat to a local who was walking past and she’d never seen anything like it either. Must’ve been wild.
Also got about 10 hellos from randoms which was nice.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Ate some delicious kofta, and cranked up my accompaniment to cleaning.
Once this is done, I have a new model to build, but I can’t open Bags And Bags And Bags Of Bits into an already messy apartment
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
You know you’re getting on when you plan to jump in the garden to weed for the 3rd day in a row and before you start first thing you think of is where’s the ibuprofen.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Gon’ eat me a chiko roll and watch cartoons…

Recently discovered that I have very low iron levels so got put on iron pills. Have been taking them for a week, and just got through a heap of housework today without wanting to collapse from exhaustion. Seems like the pills are working - who’d have thunk?!
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Ok. I’m all set for the game!
Come on Catters!
Got my chips, got some wine. I’m all primed and ready!

There are few things better for the soul then a few hours and a few drinks spent catching up with an old friend that speaks your particular form of neurospiciness…
Now home for two rounds of footy (I am bilingual - AFL and NRL)
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I have decaf coffee now.
Let’s see if this thing keeps me awake at night tonight.

I’ve been putting the registration for GardenSafe off for years even after posting about it… tbh I’m still struggling majorly with my health and this creeping grass is like kudzu, so action isn’t guaranteed. But why not contribute to citizen science.
But it’s asking really inflexible questions so I don’t know how to answer. Like for main food growing area do I answer in ground or pots? I may answer in ground because I want to know if it’s safe to do so.
Renos within 5 years? No, but around 10.
And I’m not seeing any peeling external paint - but the builders buried discarded rubble in the soil which is a concern.
I don’t use pesticides but I don’t know what’s in the runoff from another yard.
I just want to find out if the soil here is theoretically safe to grow edible stuff in, lead levels and pesticides etc.

Speaking of pop divas, Kylie tix go on pre-sale on Tuesday for the Tension Tour. There’s a good chance we will go.
I went to the X tour in 08 and the show was fantastic. She rode a giant crystal skull that night! It was simply awesome!
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Elder Minipeeler decided to spontaneously clean his room today, mainly and noticeably focusing on purging old school stuff. Did a thorough job and I’m very proud of him.
In the meantime Miniest made a carrot cake, with very little intervention from me (gotta make sure the batter actually ends up in the cake tin and less in the mouth lol)

underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 1 month ago
You have an excellent set of Minipeelers there :)
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yummy. Cream cheese icing or lemon?
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Cream cheese with a little lemon in it 😋
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Tell miniest that looks like an excellent cake :)
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Gorgeous! Ask Miniest to send me some (if there’s any left).
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That is a most excellent cake. When is afternoon tea?
