    Tommy Cat is 10 today. He has had prawns for tea and is now basking in the sun, pretty well satisfied with life.

      Looking good. I’ve started weeding my raised beds which got a bit overgrown over winter and found a few volunteer tomato seedlings have already made a start for me.

      Checkout the florida weave trellis technique if you’re growing a row of tomato plants.

      Does a tomato need that much room?

      • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        It’s a little shy so thought I’d introduce it slowly before the friends arrive. It’s also a guinea pig in case I fucked the soil mix but I didn’t tell it that.

    Normally I love putting stuff together, like Ikea furniture etc etc

    I’m now in a room with the door locked trying to build this cat tower and there’s a monster on the other side of the door who is DEMANDING to be let in.

      Very nice!

      I didn’t get to ask the other day but maybe you can layer a bass track under your guitar?

      I don’t know how it would sound though if you did that.

      source
      • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        That’s what I’m thinking as well. But it’s going to require using my laptop on stage.

        That will require significant testing to ensure it doesn’t crash.

    At my second inspection. Crusty old dude rocks up and talks only to me and asks if I’m viewing the apartment, then asks if I’m single and gives me this creepy grin and says he’d prefer a single to move into the apartment. Oh and of course he’s the owner. Shakes my hand and encourages me to apply. Completely ignores the other attendees (male).

    I might’ve seriously considered this apartment despite the very dated kitchen and bathroom and no fly screens, it’s pricey but in a very quiet green location and has a sunlit balcony… But after the above interaction I am definitely not applying wtf

    • tone212_@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I find it odd the LL is at the inspection if he has a REA managing the property? And the whole interaction, yikes. The LL will have keys. Stay the hell away!

      source
      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yeah it smacked of over-involvement. No thanks! Luckily I’m not being made to vacate so I don’t have as much pressure, I’ll keep looking.

        source
    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Warning signs all over the place with that one.

      Avoid!

      source
      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Sucks because I really might’ve seriously considered it for the quietness and the cleanliness. Light filled and still convenient for work. I was sat in the park wondering if I stuck on my own fly screens and everything else worked okay, could I still stick it out since there’s a REA intermediary… Esp as this is probably one of the few times I have an advantage (??) as a single renter. But it’s for entirely the wrong reasons

      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yeah he seems like the kind of guy who lives nearby and might get… too involved in a bad way. He told the REA to send him a report of all the applicants immediately for his review, within earshot of us all. I can’t think of any reason why a LL would prefer a single tenant over a couple except that a single person is easier to bully/manipulate. I think I’m going with my gut on this one

      There’s something about the eyes of Soxcats that always stand out.

      Don’t know if it’s the colour and the shape but Soxcat always looks so serious.

    Breaking news - Rossmoyne Street in Thornbury is having a collective garage sale tomorrow at 10 am to 3 pm - lots of people are all coming together to put excess stoff out for sale. Just got told. See you there.

    Of thank F…!

    Commbank finally reversed the duplicate transaction that put my account into the negative by a large margin.

    Spent the whole day stressing about it. I hope that’s the end of the ordeal and nothing else happens.

    Might actually think about getting a 2nd bank account somewhere else just as a backup sometime.

    Now I finally concentrate on doing other things other than worrying about things.

      This happened to someone I know today as well! Apparently something happened with their system.

      • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        They did maintenance last night and when it came back live it started duplicating transactions I made on Thursday, which happened to be when I had some payments to make.

        It really sucked and just shows if something like that happens the bank won’t be there to cover you.

    Woke up in a massive panic this morning to an overdrawn back account message.

    Panicked like hell to try and woke out what happened.

    Commbank have really stuffed up a and duplicated transactions and now has left me overdrawn and unable to use get anything today.

    They better fix this up. The duplicated transaction was the biggest thing I had to pay, why couldn’t it have been an 8 dollar transaction?

    Figured I’d make a new comment for visibility - for anyone trying to comment/make a post from lemmy.world instance - it isn’t visible to anyone on Aussie.zone for 7 days (if it even syncs at all) There was a post explaining it months ago, seems like it still isn’t fixed.

    OK. So, say you want to have a night out by yourself, where you can talk to randoms and generally be social.

    What bars or what suburb is best?

    I put on the first Paddington movie for the boys the other day because I heard it was good when it came out, and it is quite good.

    It’s silly and over the top in all the right ways, with a villain that’s just evil with clear motivations. It felt like a 90s movie made with today’s technology.

    Also turns out the director worked on Darkplace and directed all the Mighty Boosh episodes so of course it was going to be good

    Inspection 1 today, this was the best place I’d seen in the listings… mould in part of the bathroom and a lot darker than I expected. Given the amount it’s going for though, no surprise there’s plenty of applicants - couples including with kids - suspect I won’t be getting anywhere with this one. I also don’t really need a 2br unit. I think I’ll stick to 1br…
