omg, that sounds awesome đ
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
It makes sense because then we donât have to book into anything.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
ooh nice.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
That sounds soooo fun!! Both islands?!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Just the south this time.
SituationCake@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
That will be such a fun holiday. So much beautiful scenery when driving too.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Iâm really excited because itâs my first trip overseas. So many people said you should campervan NZ so we looked into it and said âwhy notâ.
Taleya@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Picked up a half chicken and chips and the cats loooooooove me right now

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

Oh, she likes you!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Sheâs a good one :) Just need cheese though or all bets are off.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
What a great shot!
StudChud@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© 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 âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Thatâs a Screw driver my friend đ
StudChud@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Oh Iâm 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.
Iâm staying well away from my desk tonight, thatâs for sure đ
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
A mimosa, but not a mimosa?
StudChud@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
I thought it was a mimosa if itâs in the morning, and then at 12 noon it turns into a screwdriver
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
I forgot I was out of vodka and now I canât be bothered going to get some. Please have one on my behalf!
StudChud@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Aye aye captain!! o7
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Oh Iâve got a slot next Thursday at 8:15pm at Lyrebird lounge again if anyone feels like hanging out :)
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Really going to try and make it to that one :)
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
No stress at all mate, see how you go :)
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Will get there if I can. I like your music.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
The highest compliment :)
It was a pleasure meeting you!
StudChud@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© 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 wouldnât miss it :D
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Thatâs incredibly kind of you :)
Iâll be honest, that whole night made me feel the best Iâve felt in a really, really long time.
tone212_@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Oh damn Iâll be out of town. Next time!
dumblederp@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
In Ripponlea? I thought you were a Westie these days?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Oh yeah itâs a mission and a half to get there lol

Instead of November, our can-do attitude says YESvember
RustyRaven@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Itâs FriYAY the 1st of YESvember!
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Chief, next month is YEScember! This month is MOREvember! Didnât you see the email? Cos all the promo material is already at the design consultants.
bacon@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Are the consultants paid by hour and how does our budget look? (Sounding way too sane to be a CEO)
indisin@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Donât forget itâs Movember too, so if you have a couple of dollars to spare please support this worthy cause and laugh at the hilarity of some people try to pull off a tache all month!

đ I just realised last week that I didnât 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. đ
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
You work is done! đ

For whomever it was that liked the llama
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
About to walk to the shops down here on the foreshore and I reckon Iâll get 13 âhellosâ Gonna count that shit then when I get back to melbs in a few days going to say hello to randos and Iâm going to compare how miserable we all are.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Itâs PS5 niiiiiight. Iâm so fucking lame lol
Alamutjones@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Glowing quarterly feedback. Hooray

In the news today: Itâs official. Pauline Hanson is a racist.
I nearly made a post about it - but I decided it wasnât actually news to anyone.Blaze@sopuli.xyz âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Hello everyone,
FYI I posted a meme about this community on !fedimemes@feddit.uk : aussie.zone/post/15001506
Iâm always impressed with how active your daily threads are, what is your secret? đ
Alamutjones@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© 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
RustyRaven@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
I got some cans of cat food from the food cupboard this arvo - diet chicken mousse that someone elseâs cat presumably didnât like. Miss Meow seems enthusiastic about it so thatâs definitely a win.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
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!
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
meet has dragged on. Finally we get to the âOk if no one has anything elseâŠâ when some idiot pipes up âOh yeah just one more thingâ Dude STFU. No one cares. its Friday. Shut up.

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 Iâm only sharing this after I finally ordered a copy: âŠcom.au/âŠ/the-hobbit-by-jrr-tolkien-book-42864189âŠ
Alamutjones@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Gonna wander to pub. Back later

Someone smells like theyâve bathed themselves in aftershave today and it stinks, I donât know they walk around without knowing how bad and strong it smells.
I feel like my senses are being assaulted, let the day end quickly!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Whatâs with all the people complaining about kids taking all the Halloween treats? They just leave a bowl out there , what do they expect.
Youâre 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. Itâs meant to be interactive and fun.
the videos look like karma farming exercises. đđđ
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© 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.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Belly is full of food. Got some dranks handy. Heat pack on my poor sore back. Favourite movie on TV. Cat snoozing nearby.
Itâs a good night.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
So I got 9 hellos on that walk and 2 dog pats so not far off. Now letâs try it at southern x.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Iâm 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
StudChud@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Finished classes, anyone want to send me over a pint or two?
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Well DT, I got the place⊠and at the original rent no less (thanks, sloppy REAs!). Payment has gone through so itâs official.
Iâm relieved but also⊠now that itâs real my heart is also filled with incredible, crushing sadness. I know itâs 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 canât even bear to look at my plants, it breaks my heart. Such is life though, isnât it. Change does not always happen the way we want it to. (and this isnât by far the worst experience Iâve had having to leave a house)
My plan for tonight is to just make a meta-list of tasks so that I donât feel too overwhelmed, but after that Iâm 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 Iâll get through this, there is joy on the other side. â€ïžâđ©č
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Honestly again Iâm 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 wonât eat them).
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Second this!
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
I appreciate the offer! But many are not long for this world anyway (biannuals/annuals that i didnât bother replacing).
Iâve 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. Iâm pretty fond of that lil dude
Catfish@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Oh kitten đż let it out and be free
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
As difficult as it is, it really is such good news. đ€
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
so many hugs
StudChud@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Sending you my love, I am glad that you have a place to move to.
Iâm sorry about your plants, itâs 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, youâre always always welcome in the DT here. And weâll always be here rooting for you and waving our flags for you đ
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
<3 thank you for this heartwarming message. Like literally heartwarming; I felt relieved being reminded that of course Iâll 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 beforeâŠ
Duenan@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Iâm so glad to hear you were able to get a place but sad for your plants.
Iâd offer to take them up but Iâve have not had a good time with plants myself and Iâm sure they donât like me back due to neglect.
Celebrate tonight and over the weekend.
I hope youâre able to sleep better now that you donât have to worry about a place.
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Haha, I wish I could feel celebratory but itâs more a blunt/muted sense of relief. For now Iâm 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.
Iâm going to make an early start on culling and packing because my brain will need to feel like itâs doing something productive otherwise it will eat itself. I think Iâll sleep alright tonight at least đ
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Hereâs to new chapter for you. đ„
melbaboutown@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
What kind of plants and setup? (Not asking for anything doxable, just an idea of what you could be working with.)
Thereâs 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.
(Iâm so sorry, Iâm 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 âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
I can probably take most of my indoor plants over, thereâs a decent south-facing window ledge. Bedroom is west facing (ugh) without a ledge. The outdoor ones are gonna have to go as theyâre not suitable indoors esp without so much light
This is a really small apartment so there wonât be much bench top space. Itâs alright tbh, Iâve been neglecting my plants the last few months due to exhaustion and I wonât have that much time over the next few months either. Iâll head to a friendâs place to garden if I need a green fix
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Congratulations!
Im sorry itâs such a big change. Having some time to let it out can be incredibly cathartic
