I freaking HATE when you order a coffee with alternate milk. Say a flat white with Oat. You say that to them. They make it and announce “Flat white?” and you go “With oat?” and they go “… yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyes…” in a REALLY uncertain tone.
Takes all my effort to not lock eye contact and say “Cause bro, if it isnt, and I shit myself to death your gonna experience exactly what this will feel like when I get my hands on you”.
It must be the location of the cafe lol, the ones around me in Brunswick judge me for just having normal milk, over almond, skim, etc 😂
I only drink decaf and the look I get it is like “umm what’s wrong with you lol”.
People who don’t repeat orders in full bother me, I like a supreme with extra garlic, don’t say only supreme back to me. Also when I’m giving numbers over the phone… 931 uh huh, 334 uh huh, 553 uhh the computer says no.
Real estate update: no nasty emails, except… A notice to vacate in Feb 2025 because the owner’s decided to sell. LOL. Guessed this was gonna happen when a REA supposedly joined the inspection. Good thing I’ve already started looking!
Plus side is now I only need to give 14 days notice when leaving so this means a whole lot less of double rent.
It has been many weeks now that I have been feeding the birds again. The garden pots have been cleaned of all bugs and currawongs and fairy wrens have started to visit again. 🙂
I’ve been getting a LOT of ‘bad gateway’ errors on aussie.zone over the last few days. Happening no matter what device. Anyone else having the same trouble? So far today twice on both of two different devices.
I forgot to post something funny.
I’ve been occasionally stepping out the front door for a second to throw a few high quality cat food kibbles to the maggies, just letting them see my face to learn I’m not a threat.
Yesterday one came walking up to my screen door wanting to come in! He or she was genuinely curious and hung around peeping in for a few minutes.
I explained that they couldn’t come in because there was a kitty inside, so they stuck around a little longer and eventually wandered off.
Bugger all to do at work today. Lucky I’m wfh and can do “professional development”.
I left my work laptop at home and now I need to run back and get it 🫠
Watched a few movies. :)
Heads up. Amazon is removing The Hobbit movies from their list in a week.
Such beautiful movies I could watch them all the day. Everything is a joy to see and the story is good too.
The costumes , the jewellery, the furnishings, the weaponry, armour, the calligraphy, the saddlery and other leather work, the carpentry. All the artisan work is so beautiful.
My favourite scenes are the Stone Giants, reading the moon runes, Kili and Tauriel, and finding the gate.
Anyway, it made me remember I have two acorns I picked up in the oak forests of Pennsylvania on a stop over on a road trip with my bestie Tam. I’m keeping them until I have my own settled place when I can try to grow some oak trees.
Terrible morning. Woke up late, by the time I was ready to leave home I was going to miss the next train and the one after that wasn’t for 25 minutes for some reason. Got to train station only to realise that I left my laptop charger at home. Had to watch the train go by that I would now miss. Back home, then back to station, just made the next train. When I got to Parliament to catch a tram to my co-working office, there was a protest happening so all trams going in the direction I needed to go were all stuck. I then had to walk 25 minutes from the city, carrying two bags mind you. On the bright side, I got a lot of steps in this morning.
Got the thread through the eye of the needle first go, no cap.
The Sun beats down on my back
But I shiver from the cold
Small in the sea at the track
Of people far younger; I’m old
I would rather be out the front
With the protestors and signs
But it would be insulting, an affront
If the ticket paid for I declined
So I drink too much and run away
To smoke away from the crowd
Of wealth and youth led astray
By bets and debts they drown
sometimes I need a little pep talk

All the fried potato I can eat please Chef. Chips, potato cakes, you name it.
Chillies have finally been planted out. They’re so small. Spent months worrying about watering / hardening them up in the sun / led lighting / temp and figured fuck it close enough in we go. Will be interesting to see if I jumped the gun. Really slow growing varieties and you sometimes wonder if you’ve buggered something up. Needs more soil / compost but that can wait.
But the rest of the gang is getting there:
Some hectic winds out this way. Very blowy out there. Might be the cause of this nasty gateway.
This is for @Gibsonhasafluffybutt but why hide it from everyone else?
If you have a Line 6 user in your life, they put up a bunch of free patches on their blog and YouTube videos. Here’s one for HX models that makes it sound like two rhythm guitars at once, the link to the chat is in the chat replay www.youtube.com/live/dMZBiG3sP70?si=u5ONG6dUYPXsI…
Had a picnic with the uni gardening group I’m in today. It was really nice to chat to everyone.
There’s an avocado tree that was planted at the beginning of the semester with two avocados. I hope I will be given an update when they’re ready to harvest.
I will miss this uni because of the familiarity, but the garden is what I’m sad about leaving. I’ll go back to visit if I’m ever in the area :)
Morning 🤗👋
did a rough memory inventory, realised I shoulda had about four irrigatias unaccounted for. Found the last five. Now cleaning up, cycling batteries, fixing diaphragms and all that fun stuff while I inventory 6 years of organically grown watering equipment ripped out and taken with us.
how goods a potato cake sandwich!
Alright. I’ve got my ticket for the Bang Emo Halloween party. It had better be worth the ticket cost lol
