Thereâs a very quick gap of them putting everything in their mouths to âIâm not eating that food you have lovingly preparedâ. Sometimes they do overlap.

Bit of dirt builds a healthy immune system.

Just got a call for an interview next week from a job that closed a month ago. Iâd assumed they didnât want me and moved on. Job hunting is so weird.

I just saw a crested pigeon. I couldnât think what it was called so I googled âpigeon with a mohawkâ. 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 neighbourâs house.

Iâm 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 â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
Aw yeaaaa youâre smashing it! Begone, foul course!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
Congrats though itâs a weird feeling when youâve done it but you did it!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
I think you did very well. You completed the course , thatâs not nothing. đžđĽ hereâs some champers đđđ

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 đ
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠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
melbaboutown@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
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 â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
Also keeps Bill out of it I suspect.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
I think this is what is happening.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
This is hilarious. Twin stroller next?
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
Oh jeez. Just spoke to (78yo) mum and she had another fall. Last one was 2 weeks ago going down 2 stairs. Sheâs just not stable on her feet and her vision is poor. Main thing Iâm worried about are hip and head injuries.
Iâm 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 Iâm looking) but it just feels like Iâm robbing independence / making her feel old.
Eagle@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠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 â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
and spent a night outside after a fall
Gawd thatâs awful.
And thank you kindly Iâm going to look into that.
Duenan@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
Iâm sorry to hear. Itâs often a difficult conversation that doesnât always end the way you want it to.
Youâre 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 â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
Thank you. I think Iâm just going to try and reduce tripping hazards when I see them and work out how to do that conversation.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
You might find this resource helpful: Fall Prevention
If she isnât already using My Aged Care, get that process started as soon as possible.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
Thank you for that, thatâs a great suggestion.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
Hope it goes okâŚI 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.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
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 itâs 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 â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
They are so annoying, arenât 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 â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
Is flying the quad-copter over your place not illegal?
+1 to the magpie taking it out.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
I thought it was. I think itâs a racing FPV drone. Noise is basically like a giant mosquito.
bacon@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
Slingshot?
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
Thatâs 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.

Canât decide on a horsie tomorrow? Let me and my trusty darts and blindfold help you. Theres 24 to choose from. You say go and Iâll shoot for one. Giddy up.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
trusty darts and blindfold help you
Donât hang that board next to a gas line and donât ask me why I know.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
Oh shit!!!
Itâs 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?

I think that one has been scratched. Not a good start for you. Donât worry Iâve chosen again.
*P.S. The kid doesnât understand scratched. I shouldâve explained to her.

Iâd 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 â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
Some horsies love the thrill of the chase. Thatâs why some are called race horses and some are called paddock horses.

My kid kid loves darts. I think Iâve found her a sport.

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 canât complain about :) now itâs time for dins, Nurofen and a good restorative sleepâŚ
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
Time for a nanna nap
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨6⊠â¨months⊠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 mightâve been better). Not keeping any more jars after thisâŚ
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 Iâll 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.

Was umming and ahhing if I should do it or not and ended not doing it.
Maybe tomorrow if things are open as I have to work half a day.

Iâm 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 theyâre 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 âmissed collectionâ 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.
CameronDev@programming.dev â¨6⊠â¨months⊠ago
Anyone had to deal with mud daubers or paper wasps? I have both creating a nest on my house.
Everything Iâve 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?
