omg, that sounds awesome 🙂
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 days ago
It makes sense because then we don’t have to book into anything.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 days ago
ooh nice.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 days ago
That sounds soooo fun!! Both islands?!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Just the south this time.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 4 days ago
That will be such a fun holiday. So much beautiful scenery when driving too.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 days ago
I’m really excited because it’s my first trip overseas. So many people said you should campervan NZ so we looked into it and said “why not”.
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 days ago
I just could not be fucked going out to get some beer, so I found some vodka, plopped some ice in it, and a bit of orange juice.
This is acceptable
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 days ago
That’s a Screw driver my friend 👍
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Oh I’m aware lol. Many years ago I drank many many screwdrivers one night, and ended up vomiting all over my PC keyboard. I was a very sad drunk cleaning it out, while I sat pathetically next to the toilet so I could keep vomiting.
I’m staying well away from my desk tonight, that’s for sure 😂
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 days ago
A mimosa, but not a mimosa?
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 days ago
I thought it was a mimosa if it’s in the morning, and then at 12 noon it turns into a screwdriver
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 days ago
I forgot I was out of vodka and now I can’t be bothered going to get some. Please have one on my behalf!
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Aye aye captain!! o7

My dog has graduated from hearing a freezer bag (contains deli meat) to me opening a loaf of bread.

Cerys has leaened to identify the opening of the Ham Drawer and misha gains powers of teleportation should the cheese slot slide up
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Oh I’ve got a slot next Thursday at 8:15pm at Lyrebird lounge again if anyone feels like hanging out :)
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Really going to try and make it to that one :)
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 days ago
No stress at all mate, see how you go :)
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Will get there if I can. I like your music.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 days ago
The highest compliment :)
It was a pleasure meeting you!
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Count me in! You were so fucking awesome last time, and I was rapt for you when those strangers gave you praise for your set after! That was so damn cool!
I wouldn’t miss it :D
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 days ago
That’s incredibly kind of you :)
I’ll be honest, that whole night made me feel the best I’ve felt in a really, really long time.
tone212_@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Oh damn I’ll be out of town. Next time!
dumblederp@aussie.zone 4 days ago
In Ripponlea? I thought you were a Westie these days?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Oh yeah it’s a mission and a half to get there lol
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 days ago
😂 I just realised last week that I didn’t have to do that crappy xmas dinner in July shitty deal. MIL#1 really wanted me to cook a xmas dinner and have all the celebration but without presents. So last year I did, I made a lovely three course xmas dinner then made everyone watch two different Scrooge movies so they truly understood the meaning of xmas. They did not expect to celebrate the meaning of xmas, they just wanted a fancy dinner and to be fashionable. They did not like the Scrooge. They have never mentioned xmas in winter/July again. 😄
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 4 days ago
You work is done! 😂
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 days ago
I suppose that wasn’t very nice of me. 😔
I’m a true believer in the spirit of Christmas is all and they didn’t mind me doing all that cooking and the cleaning after. The hypocrisy gets to me some times. They wanted xmas, they got it.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 days ago
About to walk to the shops down here on the foreshore and I reckon I’ll get 13 ‘hellos’ Gonna count that shit then when I get back to melbs in a few days going to say hello to randos and I’m going to compare how miserable we all are.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 days ago
I miss that from when I lived in the country.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 days ago
I’d say G’day to ya then I’d wonder who the fuck was that for the rest of the day.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Heh that’s the funny thing down here you’d think why the fuck didn’t they say hello back.

Hello everyone,
FYI I posted a meme about this community on !fedimemes@feddit.uk : aussie.zone/post/15001506
I’m always impressed with how active your daily threads are, what is your secret? 😄
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 4 days ago
A pre-existing community, mostly. Three quarters of the people in this thread all joined at the same time (the same day, many of us) and for the same reason.
We came here already accustomed to talking shit all day
Blaze@sopuli.xyz 4 days ago
Well done! I tried replicating that on a few subreddits, but the most removed the post each time
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Because we love each other and respect each other’s opinions.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 days ago
This is true.
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Lies, you’re all stinking muskrats and i dream of the day i unleash the minks
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 days ago
We respect each other.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 days ago
It’s a secret we have sworn never to tell. You posting from the UK?
Blaze@sopuli.xyz 4 days ago
I’m in Europe, but we chose feddit.uk so to host that community so that you guys wouldn’t be experiencing the usual issue you are facing with lemmy.world: aussie.zone/post/14298464
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Part effort, part luck, I reckon. 😅

It’s PS5 niiiiiight. I’m so fucking lame lol
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Glowing quarterly feedback. Hooray
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 4 days ago
My holiday has begun with a pint of Guinness at the pub, and a lamb kebab n chips grabbed on the way home. I will now find something brainless to watch and enjoy it in the happy knowledge that nobody expects me to do anything for several days
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 days ago
For whomever it was that liked the llama
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 days ago
I got some cans of cat food from the food cupboard this arvo - diet chicken mousse that someone else’s cat presumably didn’t like. Miss Meow seems enthusiastic about it so that’s definitely a win.

Have discovered a fantastic little cafe near my work that does the most amazing toasties. The first time I had one I had my mind blown, thought it could have just been a fluke, but nope, 2 different toasties later, tis confirmed delicious place, completely with excellent vibes! Anyone near Moorabbin Airport needs to checkout Milhouse!

In the news today: It’s official. Pauline Hanson is a racist.
I nearly made a post about it - but I decided it wasn’t actually news to anyone.Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 days ago

The illustrated edition of The Hobbit is back in stock at Kmart. You can get it from other places, but Kmart sells it for half the price of everywhere else all the time.
Of course I’m only sharing this after I finally ordered a copy: …com.au/…/the-hobbit-by-jrr-tolkien-book-42864189…

meet has dragged on. Finally we get to the “Ok if no one has anything else…” when some idiot pipes up “Oh yeah just one more thing” Dude STFU. No one cares. its Friday. Shut up.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Gonna wander to pub. Back later

Belly is full of food. Got some dranks handy. Heat pack on my poor sore back. Favourite movie on TV. Cat snoozing nearby.
It’s a good night.

What’s with all the people complaining about kids taking all the Halloween treats? They just leave a bowl out there , what do they expect.
You’re supposed to decorate yer house a little, make a welcome sign then wait for kids to knock on your door. The kids say trick or treat and you decide. If no treat they can trick you. Give nice treats and maybe have something Halloweeny to do. They wear cute costumes and you get to talk with kids and community. It’s meant to be interactive and fun.
the videos look like karma farming exercises. 🙄🙄🙄
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 days ago
So I got 9 hellos on that walk and 2 dog pats so not far off. Now let’s try it at southern x.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 days ago
I’m crawling out of my skin but have no energy to do something physical but mindless… also no focus to do something more mentally stimulating.
I wish I was out of here, had my health more in check and had the room/reserves to be doing things
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Been leaving before tinyest wakes up the last few days, get home and he wants almost nothing to do with me. I am home today though so he woke up with me and wanted all of the cuddles.
So cuddles only happen in the morning? I can live with that.
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Finished classes, anyone want to send me over a pint or two?

Work crush is relocating to another dimension…
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Well DT, I got the place… and at the original rent no less (thanks, sloppy REAs!). Payment has gone through so it’s official.
I’m relieved but also… now that it’s real my heart is also filled with incredible, crushing sadness. I know it’s going to be good for me to downsize and cull and open up my life to new options but I am so, so, sad to have to let go of my comforts here under such ugly circumstances. I can’t even bear to look at my plants, it breaks my heart. Such is life though, isn’t it. Change does not always happen the way we want it to. (and this isn’t by far the worst experience I’ve had having to leave a house)
My plan for tonight is to just make a meta-list of tasks so that I don’t feel too overwhelmed, but after that I’m going to just let the emotions flow through and watch an episode of Shrinking and take it easy. No stiffer up lift tonight. The work will start tomorrow. I know I’ll get through this, there is joy on the other side. ❤️🩹
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Honestly again I’m more than happy to look after them in the interim until they either follow you and/or for when you find them a new home (I promise I won’t eat them).
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Second this!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 days ago
I appreciate the offer! But many are not long for this world anyway (biannuals/annuals that i didn’t bother replacing).
I’ve got several offers of good homes from friends and colleagues (helps when most of them are into plants heh). Could even take the manzano to the office courtyard. I’m pretty fond of that lil dude
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Oh kitten 😿 let it out and be free
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 4 days ago
As difficult as it is, it really is such good news. 🖤
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 days ago
so many hugs
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Sending you my love, I am glad that you have a place to move to.
I’m sorry about your plants, it’s difficult to let go, especially when the circumstances are so lame. But there will be a time when you will have plants again to pour your love and care into. This is a temporary stop on your journey, and you have already proven yourself to be capable, intelligent, and motivated. Trust yourself, you are awesome.
Wherever you end up, you’re always always welcome in the DT here. And we’ll always be here rooting for you and waving our flags for you 💜
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 days ago
<3 thank you for this heartwarming message. Like literally heartwarming; I felt relieved being reminded that of course I’ll have future opportunities to have a little garden again. The housing market may be bleak but I have freedom and options up my sleeve that I never had before…
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 days ago
I’m so glad to hear you were able to get a place but sad for your plants.
I’d offer to take them up but I’ve have not had a good time with plants myself and I’m sure they don’t like me back due to neglect.
Celebrate tonight and over the weekend.
I hope you’re able to sleep better now that you don’t have to worry about a place.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Haha, I wish I could feel celebratory but it’s more a blunt/muted sense of relief. For now I’m just enjoying relaxing to some tunes and tucking into dinner in bed. Got some smoked salmon in the fridge as a treat for tomorrow am.
I’m going to make an early start on culling and packing because my brain will need to feel like it’s doing something productive otherwise it will eat itself. I think I’ll sleep alright tonight at least 😊
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Here’s to new chapter for you. 🥂
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 days ago
What kind of plants and setup? (Not asking for anything doxable, just an idea of what you could be working with.)
There’s a lot of creative ways to have plants, even ones that are just indoor plants. There are also small hydroponic setup kits that could fit on a bench top or windowsill for herbs, bonsai, or air plants.
(I’m so sorry, I’m not good with emotional support and tend to be a fixer but I understand if this is not helpful or wanted)
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 days ago
I can probably take most of my indoor plants over, there’s a decent south-facing window ledge. Bedroom is west facing (ugh) without a ledge. The outdoor ones are gonna have to go as they’re not suitable indoors esp without so much light
This is a really small apartment so there won’t be much bench top space. It’s alright tbh, I’ve been neglecting my plants the last few months due to exhaustion and I won’t have that much time over the next few months either. I’ll head to a friend’s place to garden if I need a green fix
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 days ago
Congratulations!
Im sorry it’s such a big change. Having some time to let it out can be incredibly cathartic
