One of my colleagues brought their 10 month old King Charles Cavellier to the (very quiet) office all day today. Got many pats and licks. I miss living with dogs 😞

Just got a call for an interview next week from a job that closed a month ago. I’d assumed they didn’t want me and moved on. Job hunting is so weird.

Nah. She’s really good at maths. Should get her counting cards. Like her great grandfather.

My hands are fucking rekt after two hours of finely hand chopping kale and my lower back and knees which were already acting up are not happy today with all the bending and lifting and standing around doing food prep and carrying stuff up and down those crazy outdoor steps. My aunt was very overambitious with how much food she wanted to make today, I noped out of going along with them to deliver because it was so chaotic near the end, and I am ZONKED and need energy for tomorrow to start the real culling/packing now that I have the Good Boxes and Tape courtesy of my lovely colleague.
But it was really good to spend a whole day using my hands and doing good stuff for others, with others!
Aunt might drop by with leftovers in the arvo which I can’t complain about :) now it’s time for dins, Nurofen and a good restorative sleep…

Alright, Veggies are in. Toddler consumed minimal dirt. Call that a win.

There’s a very quick gap of them putting everything in their mouths to “I’m not eating that food you have lovingly prepared”. Sometimes they do overlap.

Can’t decide on a horsie tomorrow? Let me and my trusty darts and blindfold help you. Theres 24 to choose from. You say go and I’ll shoot for one. Giddy up.

Don’t hang that board next to a gas line and don’t ask me why I know.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
Oh shit!!!
It’s sitting on a chair near the front door. I swear the cushion only got stabbed once but the dog keeps getting close.
Can I interest you in a shot?
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
OK GO!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 21 hours ago
I think that one has been scratched. Not a good start for you. Don’t worry I’ve chosen again.
*P.S. The kid doesn’t understand scratched. I should’ve explained to her.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
I’d like the horsies to have their own party in a nice field where they can chill out with delicious grass. Maybe a sneaky horse cocktail.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
Some horsies love the thrill of the chase. That’s why some are called race horses and some are called paddock horses.

I just saw a crested pigeon. I couldn’t think what it was called so I googled “pigeon with a mohawk”. I also saw a splendid blue wren the other day too. Beautiful birds.

By the time I got my phone out, fucked around with the fingerprint, aimed and shot, ended up with a nice photo of the power pole and the neighbour’s house.

Oh jeez. Just spoke to (78yo) mum and she had another fall. Last one was 2 weeks ago going down 2 stairs. She’s just not stable on her feet and her vision is poor. Main thing I’m worried about are hip and head injuries.
I’m going to have to convince her to wear a fall detection device which will be a difficult convo. I succeeded convincing her to give up driving (when I’m looking) but it just feels like I’m robbing independence / making her feel old.
Eagle@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Please have her get a full check up. Falls are a symptom of something else going on 99% of the time. My mum reluctantly agreed to wear a Live Life alarm around 18 months ago, and she wears it daily. I can check her location, and when she fell while out at a bbq Saturday night it alerted me and my brother. We had a quick chat with her through the pendant, and all was good. My MIL on the other hand refuses to wear hers, and spent a night outside after a fall.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 day ago
and spent a night outside after a fall
Gawd that’s awful.
And thank you kindly I’m going to look into that.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I’m sorry to hear. It’s often a difficult conversation that doesn’t always end the way you want it to.
You’re also trying to protect her from having a horrible accident without a means for someone to get to her in time as well.
I hope things go ok for you.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Thank you. I think I’m just going to try and reduce tripping hazards when I see them and work out how to do that conversation.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 day ago
You might find this resource helpful: Fall Prevention
If she isn’t already using My Aged Care, get that process started as soon as possible.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Thank you for that, that’s a great suggestion.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
Hope it goes ok…I know how hard it can be, as I went through this with my mum and OH did with his, too. MOL (mother-out-law) had emergency services break in one time when she collapsed and was unresponsive. Lucky the cleaner found her in time.
It was also very lucky that neither of them injured anyone (or themselves) by driving when no longer competent.

Some fuck has been flying a quad-copter over my place for a few months now. I want to build an RF jammer thing but it’s a $1.5 million or up to 8 years in prison penalty :( My only option is to convince the resident magpie to take it out.
