Hope the flight is/was comfy! What did you get up to in NZ?
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Market run early this morning then essential gardening only. Norf wind gonna be brutal today. All housework has been banished to Sunday cos cooler then (I hope). I hope Sunday brings the promised rain - everything is getting a bit dry.
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Shopping including a CBM run for the good snacks Some sewing stuff Then… 1927!!!
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I’m doing an early shop and tackling Mount Washmore, that’s it.

Summer doona is now on the bed.

Fucking wow… I don’t expect anything at Yarraville to be a rager, but this crowd might as well have oxygen tanks.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I was considering moving there as I have a mate that lives there. He claims it’s “hip”.
Perhaps not…
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Seddon is wonderful, but you’ll need a very solid wallet to buy
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 year ago
People are walking their dogs in the local indoor shopping centre. What even.

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.

Have you ever considered a different vet?
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 year ago
These ones are pretty good and the closest
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 year ago
My knees really hurt. I’ve done something to them but don’t know what

I feel like I should save and back up any pictures or music I want to keep onto a hard drive and maybe even have a few versions.
Annoyed that I haven’t done so already because it’s a complete no brainer but life has basically been survival mode for a very long time and any kind of organisation has fallen by the wayside. Even now it seems like a mammoth task.
While going through saving old pictures to my computer I found some of my old art. Doxable so I won’t post it.
But how the hell is it better and more prolific than my art now? To be fair it was basically just copying pictures I liked but there’s some original stuff in there. And back then I didn’t have access to any of the resources I do now, no education on fundamentals other than some completely forgotten lessons as a kid, nothing. I didn’t know to do frames or shapes. I just did the contour lines and paid close attention to the space between them. The hands are a bit wonky but I drew hands wtf.
I guess it’s just elbow grease. Which I’m currently so very short on 😮💨

Yeah I was surprised I even dared to go for it. I guess I hadn’t heard people saying it was hard so I wasn’t scared to try, and if it wasn’t good it was a skill issue so just try harder.
Thanks, I could use any tips. I’m still getting into the habit of backups and probably don’t know how to use a NAS.
I’ve got Google drive but my stuff is split over a few email addys and also I kinda don’t trust it not to fail :/ I’ve lost so much to crashes, been really slack

One of the things I pray for is my nephew to have a secure life full of love, so that they aren’t pushed into some of the scenarios and resulting relatively harmless but nonetheless questionable choices and that I’ve made.
I want them to be able to choose the right thing secure in the knowledge that even if it blows back on them they are safe enough in life to withstand it.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Having someone in their life like you who wants this for them (and knows some of the harder paths) will help them a lot. Knowing someone has your back and wants the best for you is one of the most important things. They are lucky to have you.
wscholermann@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I hope so. I just have to make sure I don’t self destruct myself through one way or another in the meantime.

It’s McHappy Day today.

Good morning

Now I need to decide what ice-cream to have…
Eagle@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Vanilla. With sprinkles and strawberry topping.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Ended up with Black Sticky Rice and Pistachio.
Ice-cream for dinner. Not mad at it.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I had some lemon sorbet and it was delish.
tone212_@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Gosh it’s still really warm out. Leisurely Saturday night bike ride to get dinner got sweaty quick. Expected it to be cooler by now.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Weatherzone predicts its still going to be 26 at midnight.
I’m definitely going to be running at the AC in my bedroom so I can sleep better.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Jake Paul v Mike Tyson is starting in next 10 mins on Netflix
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Got it on.
The stream was really struggling during the women’s match.

He’s staying home to save a house deposit
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Just saw a dead bird being delivered. Never going to get a deposit buying Uber Eats.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Good news everyone.
Saturday plans - which I WAS looking forward to, but am not heartbroken to lose - have fallen through, so I can have a day to get my shit together. I sorely need this day
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I would like pizza. I have a pizza base to use. But that would involve turning on the oven when my apartment is currently still cool. Dilemma.
indisin@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Solution: have the pizza arrive by car 😁 the base will be fine until the next pizza.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I wouldn’t be turning the oven on.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 year ago
TOO LATE!! I figured I am fighting a losing battle because I need to open a window in the space I use for drying clothes. I put on the exhaust fan and will hope for the best
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Ping for sijn ?? Dunno how personal rather than group follows works
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Movie Review. Moon with Sam Rockwell. Pretty harrowing . I love how these guys are still so very human. Will watch again, I expect it’s one of those movies that you think about.
3.5 hobbits
TV Review. Benidorm. Amazon.
I just couldn’t watch it so I watched every first episode and the last. Too histrionic for me but I can see how this series is made with love and respect for those who like the all inclusive holiday camp holidays.
2 hobbits tho it must have appealed to many as it had 10 series made.
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I really enjoyed Moon. I saw it in the cinema with no clue going in. We actually missed the start of the movie we were going to see because of traffic so decided to see it instead as it hasn’t started.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I don’t think Ive seen any of the shows or movies you have reviewed since you began the hobbit rating system.
Do you gravitate towards any professional critics in particular ?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I don’t read any critics at all.
I do read books and listen to podcasts by movie historians , I listen to commentaries by writers and directors and podcasts by story analysts.
bfg9k@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Too hot to do anything today, going to be a nice day to sit in front of the aircon and get fucked up
Might watch the Paul/Tyson fight for the lulz
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Beef brisket is on.
Slow cooking in tomato, sweet chilli, onion, stock cubes, thyme, garlic, Muscovado sugar, cinnamon, and of course Guinness.
50MYT@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Pics of this plz.
Cooking in an oven or smoker?
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I no longer have a smoker unfortunately, so I chucked it in a slow cooker.
The end game is making Bánh Mì with the leftovers tomorrow.
