Lost another Wicket.
This could be over by tomorrow afternoon.
Also we’re not even halfway to India’s score.

Just got through the first season of Happy Valley. For all the typical story beats, dang is this well acted and the dialogue tightly written… Sarah Lancashire is amazing. And I absolutely want to murder Tommy Lee Royce.
Also strikes me how much technology had changed in ten years. None of the kids are glued to mobile devices…

You’ve got me craving ocean perch as well tonight! Nice bit of grilled fish with spinach, potat and an orange dressing…
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 days ago
I must be out of sync, I did grilled fish last night. Snapper, not perch though.

Just took my washing in. It’s taken no time to dry today!

The wimd is definitely picking up
wscholermann@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Rain won’t come until later tonight. Cooler air might come sooner though.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 days ago
it’s a little warm, egg nishna has been switched on

I finished The House on the Borderlands yesterday. It was ok. Not as engrossing as The Night Lands but still very imaginative and having all the elements of a gothic novel.
I’ve read the Poe short stories just a few years back in a lovely edition called Steampunk Poe, so I might skip them for now.
Gormenghast? It’s been quite a while since I’ve read the trilogy, I find the characters and the world engrossing. 🙂 Greatly recommend. I think I’ll do this, then Poe novels and some HP Lovecraft. These are all rereads of course, oh god I did so much reading in my 20s and 30s,

Melbcat keeps licking herself in the exact same place and has made an itchy hotspot…
I can’t find her cone and it’s a hassle to buy a bib but I managed to get a baby onesie that might fit over her upper body and stop her accessing it.
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 days ago
if it’s stress, I got misha one of those fake fur spreads from the reject shop and she obsessively grooms that when upset instead.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Yeah it started during cleaning for an inspection (she hates cleaning and I’d run out of zylkene) and it’s persisted for some reason. She’s back on the zylkene but a lower dose than previously
I have a faux fur blanket but she doesn’t lick it
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 days ago
I have stuff to do, made a kinda list. I suppose if work thru it slowly it’s still done, eh 🤷♀️
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Oh man. I wish I lived somewhere I could set up a hammock outside and chill out with a book
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 days ago
ugh, trying to do a crossword and the clues just keep moving up and down, forcing me to keep looking for them and messing with my head and eyes
think I’ll drop that one
seriously, reminds me of early tv when they would use special effects just because they could even tho they looked shit and had no actual artistic purpose
Baku@aussie.zone 3 days ago
It’s officially 1.3° colder inside than out. #Winning
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 days ago
I knew cardboard would be a terrible canvas (hence attempts at sealing) and only for early practice but wow. Even with the layer of medium underneath it basically drank the paint. Which I knew it would but not to this degree.
Paint rambles
Despite trying to coat thinly and smoothly it was impossible to avoid streaking and brush marks because the acrylic Anko paint actually started drying while I was still working and I had to use much more of it at once to spread it. What I should have done was mix in some of the clear medium so it wouldn’t dry so fast. It would have been less pigmented which is bad because it took thick layers to even show up, but it wouldn’t have looked so rough. Upside is I won’t mind that this is disposable. But it took most of both my tubes of yellow. I should have just ordered poster paint.
I’ve been trying not to feed them as much but one of the magpies approached me when I went out to rinse my brush under an outside tap. Flew right up close and looked at me. It looked like a female maybe. Broken top beak. I nipped inside to grab some of Melbcat’s pet jerky and threw the magpie some crumbled pieces.
I’m wondering if I’ve done a bad and made the magpies too dependent and trusting of humans. Also worried about whether this bird can eat properly. But I’m not going to be able to catch it for treatment.
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Nah, a one off won’t do damage. But it does mean you’re unlikely to get swooped
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 days ago
I was feeding them a fair bit before. (High quality high protein nutritionally complete cat food from a bag Melbcat didn’t like.)
A bit worried if this bird is ok
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 days ago
fast drying happens on these too hot days
for spreading maybe use a piece of plastic or card , not a brush which is too slow ( I have been reading many books on painting lately , I painted the furniture and am doing watercolours too )
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 days ago
I do have some expired Myki
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 days ago
I already had some cardboard I’d already sealed with water based gloss medium, intended for painting on and a bunch of brushes. So I picked the largest flat brush and painted a thin layer of dark yellow. When that’s dry I’ll do another and then a few layers of light yellow.
It bugs me to be using up my paints (especially one colour) but having a practical need did lead to actually using it.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Going out for an early market run before it gets even hotter. Anyone want anything?
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 days ago
I need a bag of Charlie Carp fertilizer pellets…
An iced coffee would be great too - does anyone at the market do a Vietnamese coffee?
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 3 days ago
There’s a Viet place - doing banh mi et al - at the back corner of A shed, in one of the permanent brick shops. They’re lovely people, and will do you as much ca phe as you desire
wscholermann@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Bloody hell that temp drop was fast. Must have dropped ten degrees in half an hour or less.

Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 days ago
we’ve had the rain, a small shower and now it’s past
Baku@aussie.zone 3 days ago
The rain radar is showing a gigantic front headed straight for us, probably around 7-9pm I’d guess. Don’t get too comfy yet!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 days ago
SRL would be done in 2084. I will probably be dead by then.
Baku@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Honestly me too. But, don’t forget the saying “Society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in”
(And being old isn’t a prerequisite)

The leaves of my zucchini have tiny bugs on them and the interbutts tells me it’s whiteflies.
Guess I’m about to be mixing a soapy water solution and painting paper strips yellow to make sticky traps with Vaseline and dish soap.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 days ago
just wipe them off by hand

Crushed a few by hand but they fly away fast
