Tonight I am playing the groovy sounds of Burt Bacharach. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3Vm2KoPsQE

His Master’s Voice! Oh god, his furriness is just too good. And of course he would love Burt Bacharach
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
He never goes up to listen or watch and I play records everyday so this is very rare. He is a cool cat. 🐈⬛
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 day ago
His fluff is glorious!

Ted might go for the behind but he’s a misunderstood audiophile at heart.

Today was a big day but the party went great. These council community centres are perfect for parties like this. I could tell things were going well when people didn’t start leaving immediately after cake and presents. We just left out some toys and large janga and connect four and all the kids had a great time
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 day ago
That’s excellent man ❤️
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Got flowers today… Nothing like feeling you are seen. 🖤
Also, they are massive… Like I had to dig out my 50+ cm vase for them.
Feel absolutely blessed. A millions miles from how I’ve felt the last couple of days.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Lovely!
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Thanks, CEO! 🖤
indisin@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Those look absolutely amazing, where are they from as I’d like to order something similar for my partner?
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Okay, for all that I’ve whinged today, I am pretty damn chuffed with how much I’ve moved out at short notice on Marketplace. Super happy that a big bench is going tonight. Gone are a whole heap of side tables/plant stands. The elephant in the room is the effing couch. I will have to just move it to my friend’s myself and we will problem-solve from there.
It’s kind of interesting meeting all these randos who are grateful for a good bargain and they all come with their own little stories. All walks of life, ethnicities, cars, clothes…
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 day ago
My friend has helped me move out about 70% of my stuff (deadset legend).
But I have vastly underestimated how much stuff I have, and how much stuff I can realistically store at this next place…
I am REALLY working hard to keep myself together. Wow this is a huge huge downgrade. I really did not prepare myself for this. Even my friend looked at the other place and (reluctantly, after I was whinging) said “yeah… it’s a place to crash at after a long day, not a home - it’s a good thing you’re only there for six months”.
The plan will work, I just need to get everything out of here by the 19th. I will cull and sell further once it’s been moved, none of it is too heavy.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
so many hugs
And let this new place be a home, just a little home, get to know your new neighbourhood and some local people. Try to keep some of your old habits. It will be fine. 😘
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I’m really sorry. I know how it is to live somewhere you hate.
Re the fridge, I used to live somewhere the kitchen was so small it didn’t account for a fridge (literally no place for even a bar fridge - not built to accommodate one) so I kept my fridge nearby in the lounge. If it turns out that the fridge just doesn’t fit you can get creative or you could use a buy nothing/swap site to get a smaller one just to last you for the 6 months.
I’m sure Givit would take the big fridge, and perhaps the dressers. You might get a tax discount for the donations too.
This might not be legal in Australia bc food safety but in Slav countries the washing machine is in the kitchen with hot plates sitting on top because of space and also that’s where the plumbing allows it to be.
And this is hypocritical because I am a packrat/clutterbug when space allows - but I definitely did have ways of storing things/things I would cook or ways of doing things that helped me manage in a small place. Hit me up if you want some tips.
Just focus on survival for now, you’re in a great position to move in with family and save up for a strong return. It’s a lot easier to tolerate a bad situation if there’s an end date in sight.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Thank you for the considerate and thought out reply - it’s helped me see things in a bit better perspective and to work out what I can do within this space (and it’s ok to stay in survival mode just a little longer). I do think I’ve been rather spoiled in my current place with so much built in storage that I’ve sort of sprawled over everywhere. Not having a linen cupboard is a big drawback but I think I can make it work.
I went back to my place and the fridge I have will JUST fit with about 1cm of space at the top and 2cm on the sides. My washing machine will also fit in the tiny closet (?!) that they have for it. I’ve culled my clothes as much as I could - I suspect some will just stay in boxes until I leave, especially the winter stuff. It’s sad that I won’t be able to cook as freely as I could but I guess it’ll help me narrow down my focus to work and study (and a bit of fun - outside the home).
I think there’s going to need to be a tip run for some things - an old rug, an old ironing board, an old POANG chair scratched up by a cat, an old swag that I’ve done my best to clean the mould off of but there are still visible marks… and an old feather doona - donated by friends, they shrank it in the wash and it’s now badly stained anyway. RSPCA won’t take it as it’s got feathers in it :/
Plus this long couch nobody wants…

A wise man once said to me, “you can only do what you can do when you can do it.” You did what you could, when you could. And you will continue to, that’s the legendary achiever you are. That is enough. Even the wind can chip away at a mountain, the sea at a cliff. You’ve done awesomely for the time and financial constraints you have. It’s not your forever story.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 day ago
yep… I will learn from this experience and look back on it - just another one of those Adulting things living with what you chose. I love your last sentence, it’s not a forever story! I do need to remind myself of that from time to time. Thank you for the immensely kind words.

Might have missed the mechanic to grab the car. Fingers crossed he left it outside 🤞🏾

Happy birthday DT. I know a few people here have a birthday today and it’s my boys’ birthday too. As far as I’m concerned, November 16th can be like the horses birthday for DT
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Happy Birthday, all fellow Scorpios! 😈 🎈🥳
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Happy birthday to your son :)
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I had a brain fart and thought you were joking that the DT was his son… even checked to see if you were talking to a mod.
I need more sleep

Wow. That was a shit fight.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Yeah, ugh.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 day ago
True. I felt really uncomfortable watching it. The Barrios v Ramos fight was awesome though, I really enjoyed that one. To me it was the fight of the day.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Agreed. It was pretty disappointing.
Pilk@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Glad to have pirated it.

Yea. That’s the way!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
what is it?
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Bit of a homemade mix - salami, capsicum, olives and tomato. With a mix of cheddar, parmesan and a couple of dollops of quark cheese because I found that the other day ( haven’t seen it in stock anywhere for a while). On a pre bought GF base.
Was yum.
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 day ago

Life lesson for today. When you buy a remnant of corduroy to make something, please please please zigzag the edges BEFORE pre-washing it. I am now going to have to run a cleaning cycle on my washing machine which I did not plan to do today. The lint was abominable.

🍒 The season has arrived 🍒
I just bought half a kilo of cherries for my pocket change. I am delighted

Such a gorgeous evening…
Taleya@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Banannana planted! Went to add the babaco and found out its somehow gotten fckn wet feet and rotting out. Carved up for sticks, two hormoned and in sand, the rest to try the traditional ‘dry a few day’s before planting’.
Apart from that, shit day for a shit week

There’s just something about “I’m a pensioner and I need to travel a long way will you give me a discount” that makes me want to say no. The attempted emotional manipulation combined with a sense of entitlement just pisses me off. Not sure why it pushes my buttons so strongly but it really does.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I feel like the internet has turned really shit and at some point it’ll be so user unfriendly that it’s barely usable. I miss past eras of it (well the ones I’m old enough to have known) and the niches I like of current day are the ones most similar to that.
Lemmy is like a cosy comforting old school forum.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Three more cupboards gone! 🎉 Just four more to go. If I don’t sell them soon they are going on the naturestrip with a “free” sign on them.

Minipeelers were up at 7am to do craft and have already ran out of red polymer clay. Did a quick shop and am now on way home to tackle Mount Washmore. I’m tired as!

Melbcat is sometimes refusing to eat her wet food which means I have to crush/mix her meds into a syringe and feed that to her directly… not ideal.
She’s also vitamin B deficient
injections
so needs shots… she should be having them weekly but I’m scared to accidentally hurt her when doing them at home.
I know cats go nuts for brewers yeast and Marmite has B12 (I think Vegemite doesn’t) but it’s salty which is bad for her kidneys. So I bought some nutritional yeast and sprinkled it. Yes, she likes it.
She still needs to be wrangled to give the antibiotics directly, same for the anti nausea stuff which she absolutely needs. But I’ll remember this for when we can go back to only the normal meds that can just mix into the food.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Decided not to have a wild one tonight. Mood was a bit eh for historical reasons, but still go to see my friends which is awesome.
All in all, a really great day.
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes, you guys are amazing. You’ve all been an incredible support during some of the hardest times I’ve had in recent memory.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart ❤️❤️❤️

Great to hear you had a great birthday as well. Sometimes the quieter ones are better

That’s it man. I did everything I wanted to, and I’ll be functional tomorrow.
