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.

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.

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.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
and they are natives 🥰
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Punk pigeons!

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.

I’m done with this uni course in two days. Kind of wild. Might get donuts from nearby to celebrate the end of a pretty miserable chaper :) and onto the next
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Aw yeaaaa you’re smashing it! Begone, foul course!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Congrats though it’s a weird feeling when you’ve done it but you did it!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I think you did very well. You completed the course , that’s not nothing. 🍾🥂 here’s some champers 😘😘😘

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 😞
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
nice day outside, got some errands and then I might have a look at some art stuff/paper/books :)
might look at some new printers too , the last one just wore out

Melbcat loved to sleep in her stroller, whether the capsule was up in the frame or by itself.
The capsule to the current one became, ahem, unfit for use but she has boxes with blankets and cutout portholes
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Also keeps Bill out of it I suspect.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I think this is what is happening.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
This is hilarious. Twin stroller next?

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 month 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 month 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 month 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 month 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 month 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 month ago
Thank you for that, that’s a great suggestion.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 1 month 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.

Logged into my email and teams this morning just to check. Manager said, to log off and enjoy my day.
Ps5, music and cat cuddles it is!

freakin LOVED titanfall 2. Probably the best shooter of the last 10 years.

Yeah man I gotta say, it beats any other except maybe doom 2016.
Fluid movement, great guns and the multiplayer is fucking amazing!

Extreme pollen again tomorrow and then 35 degrees on Wednesday. I should do all of my errands today but I seem to be moving very slowly.

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.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 month ago
They are so annoying, aren’t they? I get DoorDash drones flying over my place, I absolutely hate them. Door Dash claims they are really quiet and fly high enough they are not annoying, but I am regularly being annoyed by the sound so that claim is obviously rubbish.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Is flying the quad-copter over your place not illegal?
+1 to the magpie taking it out.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I thought it was. I think it’s a racing FPV drone. Noise is basically like a giant mosquito.
bacon@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Slingshot?
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That’s a $47k fine right there or up to 2 years in the slammer :(
Still thinking about that option. Place backs on to a lot of uninhabited empty space so no one would be at risk.

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.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago

Don’t hang that board next to a gas line and don’t ask me why I know.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month 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 1 month ago
OK GO!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago
Some horsies love the thrill of the chase. That’s why some are called race horses and some are called paddock horses.

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…
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Time for a nanna nap
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Spent 2.5hrs cleaning labels and glue off 20 jars to give to a colleague who is lending me some boxes for packing. Jeez what an ordeal. Especially the really stubborn glue that I needed oil to remove (rubbing alcohol might’ve been better). Not keeping any more jars after this…
It was a great day otherwise though, cooking was well received and it was definitely great to get away from the city and be with others, off my phone (but also be able to leave before hitting my limit). Felt like I had permission to just take it easy and relax. Roads were nice and quiet too. Really glad I took Monday off, the extra long weekend is good for my nerves to recuperate.
Today I’ll drop off the jars/pick up the boxes, then head off to help a relative cook and pack a whole bunch of food for the homeless.

I’m frustrated that every night before bin collection some rando parks right in front of where our bins need to be placed. I put them where they’re supposed to be but it risks damaging their car on collection and I will not be a dickhead and put the bins around their car which would block them in. What do you do? I have to do the “missed collection” request with the council far too frequently due to this and the best ideas I have is either leave a note or buying traffic cones :/ Every bloody week this happens.

Anyone had to deal with mud daubers or paper wasps? I have both creating a nest on my house.
Everything I’ve read suggests they are nonviolent, so my current plan was to leave them be, and then knock off the nests next winter. Its gonna be a zero tolerance policy, if I get bitten once, both are gone.
Am I gonna regret it?
