Todayâs weather forecast (Melbourne CBD, 3000): min - 13°C, max - 22°C. 90% chance of no rain
Weâre back to the DDT now. Feels good to be home, right?
Iâd like to acknowledge and thank @bacon@aussie.zone for their daily blessings of food, heat, thermo-nuclear radiation, and everything in between. Thanks bacon! đ
Iâm still salty and grumpy about that stupid $200 fine (Iâll have spent $400 on parking fines this year) and trying not to beat myself up for being uniquely absent-minded or inattentive.
But I am proud of my little accomplishment: getting JUST under an hour at terminal parking at thr airport. I managed to squeeze in getting lost on the way in, having to turn around twice, a Maccaâs order and eating it and a goodbye photo⌠then literally running back and rushing out and finding an empty exit lane. Two minutes longer and Iâll have been slugged another $17 (not even $14 like the website says!)

Now to grab some rice from MKS (to store where exactly I donât know), go home and do so many chores.
Oh Long Sonson
Just spoke to my mate that I havenât spoken to in 12 years.
It was exactly how it was when we were best mates. Nothingâs changed â¤ď¸
some mates are like that, true mates đĽ°
Goodnightđ
Fingers crossed low!
Oof. Hope you are sound asleep now!
Stupid idiot fucks racing down Victoria St you can hear them from miles away. Die in a fire. Canât wait to move out somewhere quieter next year
Agree
I bought a box of chiko rolls on Friday. Theyâre not actually really different at all to the ones you get at fish and chippies
I tried a medium (not deep) fry in a pan on the stove, as well as air fryer. My determination is that depe fried is probably the best, but not that much better than the air fryer. I donât feel comfortable enough using such an exorbitant amount of oil to actually deep fry them, and donât have the proper equipment (so itâd just be over the stove), so no comparison there
My attempt at frying them in a shallow/medium amount of oil wasnât good because it didnât cook evenly around. I ended up burning one side (albeit thatâs just cause Iâm inexperienced), and couldnât fry the sides very well, because theyâre slightly longer and flatter on one side than the other despite being cylinders
I remember their ad in the fish n chip shop with a leather bikini girl on a harleyesque chopper holding the chicko roll like a cock she was about to suck. Imma say 1987. Even then as a kid I remember thinking why would you advertise a product like that.
Oh god, I remember those ads!
Ah yes, the
She was replaced in 2008. From the Wikipedia page: âIn 2008, the company began a nationwide search for the new âChiko Chickâ, hoping to downplay the traditionally raunchy look in favour of a more wholesome âgirl next doorâ image.â
She was replaced by Annette Melton who played Regina DeFrancisco in Deadly Women
Iâve never actually had a chiko roll. Is that horribly un-Australian of me? I donât think Iâve ever had one of those fish shop dim sims either, they always look a bit gross to me.
Probably. I think theyâre kinda dying off these days though. Iâve been in 6 fish and chips shops so far that said they didnât do them anymore. Admittedly though, 2 of those were weird hipster ones bragging about everything being low sodium and didnât even do potato cakes
Were they frozen? You could try microwaving them first, then paint them with some vegetable oil, then airfry them.
Sure are
The air fryer is more than fine though
I actually really like them. đ
I also feel weird that I like them.
We did the Box Hill miniature rail today. Itâs a good little spot with a nice track. From what Iâve heard itâs not as busy as the Diamond Creek railway so the lines are much better
I just sold something on eBay that had been up so long Iâd forgotten I even had the listing there. I had to go and retrieve it from my op shop bags, itâs lucky I havenât gotten around to dropping them off yet!
I have returned from babysitting sleepover. I will forgive many things, including being shot by nerf darts
You may have to escalate the conflict and bring a super soaker next time.
Get your own with an ammo belt and strafe
Take two, huh gibs?
Sleep well to you and the fluffy butt
My finger is now very sore. I think I might have bruised the bone âšď¸
I might drag out my old Culture Club LPs and put them on my old looking payer. đľđśđĽ°
Ok, how did I go for identifiability? I think only one is obscure enough to be an issue. This was fun!

Grug is my spirit animal.

Copied from CEO, but Asterix & Obelix before Mr Grumpy.
The third you are almost guaranteed to know, but not necessarily that edition. The fourth I will be surprised if anyone gets.
Oh I see, at first I was like huh? at the third one from the top row, now I see itâs 3 volumes?
I think top right might be rainbow fish.
Incorrect
Asterix and Obelix

I got my gardening mojo back once I started working on my assignment. Then I stabbed my finger with a stick and had to come in for first aid. Not too much bleeding, but I managed to jam to point in along the finger and itâs a bit hurty, plus probably high infection risk. I guess as far as my weeds were concerned I was in the middle of a murderous rampage, so probably counts as fair self defence.
Iâm tracking some books I bought from the US and it looks like the packages are coming straight outta Compton.
Ah ha I have the perfect song for this!
omg, thereâs a song about post office limbo? đŚ
Cleaned stove, benches and sink area, loaded dishwasher, doing washing to get as much as possible done before childâs birthday party this arvo. One of the Minipeelers cousins is having a birthday, and although sheâs much younger than my kids theyâre excited to go and are pretty good sports about it. Earlier in the year another younger cousin had a Dr themed birthday party and I was delighted to see my kids happily submit to being patients to many doctors coat wearing small girls administering candy medicines lol. Some of us saw the âmedicineâ table and went âAyo I remember parties like this!â
I was not there, but holy shitâŚmy 90s self would have exploded with joy - Billy Corgan at the Gem - 1979
Pretty crazy to see someone as big as Corgan just do a raw acoustic thing at a pub.
Yeah, just casually over in the corner with an acoustic guitar happily chattingâŚ
strange dreams again,
I canât take constantly being behind on dishes and having them sit. Iâm considering a bench top dishwasher⌠ideally Iâd do it by hand every day but this is the chore I consistently struggle with the most.
Has anyone here had one?
Appliances online have dish drawers for like 1000-2000 but I donât think Iâll be doing that. Iâm looking at the benchtop dishwashers in the $400 ballpark, and it would have to be the kind with a renter friendly adapter that attaches to the tap.
Iâve never used a bench top dishwasher but I will be if I move again and the next place doesnât have a dishwasher. This is the first place Iâve ever lived in that has a dishwasher, and I never want to go back
Unsure how much they are or if they have them, but Kids off the Kerb might have a refurbished one. I got my fridge, washing machine, and dryer from them, they teach disadvantaged youth how to refurbish appliances.
My fridge is still going strong after 9 years or so, and the washing machine has only just carked it (I think I just need to replace the drain part though).
They might have something for cheaper than retail đ¤ˇđźââď¸
Oh that is so cool. Thanks for letting me know, refurbished and ex display models are great
Appliances online also have one for $499 - I just looked. Good reviews and free delivery too.
Thanks! Iâll see how much the luxury bones set me back and then maybe see if I can even buy on Boxing Day
Oh sweet. How easy is it to use?
Are you able to easily get the tap connection on and off, any leaks, are there any flimsy plastic pieces I could accidentally break?
Thanks
Have had a benchtop since 2015ish. Sheffield model. Use the dishwasher gel, not the pellets, pay attention to any stacking requirements. I piggybacked it on the washing machine cocks and had it dump in the laundry sink at the old place, new one itâs in the brewery for glassware
Cheers, the gel would probably dissolve better
I had some good daytime and even walked a bit but then crashed and woke in the nightâŚ
Time to get some more activity in the Food Australia instance. Vicariously posting all the stuff that looks good to me and is fairly cheap/doable.
Iâm thinking of a pasta salad you make ahead in the cool of the evening/night and refrigerate for the next day.
Yeah, maggies can become very friendly even if you donât feed them often. Although Iâm in general against feeding wildlife, I do make exceptions for things that need a bit of coaxing to form a basic rapport with and stop yourself from getting attacked
Iâve been trying to kick up a bit of activity around here, too, itâll be nice to have a posting partner! A little bit of a recommendation, if youâre open to it: people sometimes get annoyed if you post too much in one community too quickly (even if they donât outwardly say it). I try to keep to 1 post a day per community I post in, to avoid overwhelming anyone (we are only little after all, your posts will almost certainly all show up on everybodyâs feed)
Iâm sure melbcat will be alright. In fact, you too. Youâre doing well. Stay strong, and donât hesitate to call that vet if you need peace of mind or clarity on something!
Yeah lol it began as protection money.
Ok ok, cheers for the tip. I figured more Lemmy activity would be welcome as long as it was an ok quality post, but I can see how one person could overwhelm a small less active instance.
She should be ok, sheâs a tough girl and if anything happens I am still able to get her to emergency by myself using the pram.
Good night everyone. Sweet dreams. đ
Gânight :)
Goodnight đâ¤ď¸
Never mind. The only thing that was accomplished today was washing (and now drying) the clothes - ended up having a solid 4-5 hr nap in the arvo. I almost never sleep during the day. Just utterly exhausted. If I take one day off my meds all this sleep descends on me. But I do feel more rested though, which is why I do it. I donât feel like I can truly get restful sleep otherwise. I should talk to the psych about thisâŚ
I have to at least unpack the remaining clothes though, Iâm sick of the opened boxes on my bedroom floor. Itâs not hard, open the ikea hanging storage thing, put t shirts and pants in there, everything else on hangers⌠them more sleep.
Did this weekend go past quicker than normal or is it just me?
Itâs been an entertaining Test, but 2.5 days? I guess Iâll read a book instead. Hopefully Brisbaneâs a bit more drawn out.
Been practicing sub q injections on an unfortunate banana with some green food dye. Ideally Iâd be using a training kit but mostly see the intramuscular or phlebotomy practice pads being sold. Iâm pretty decent at delivering it but man the uncapping and changing the needle over post draw up is fiddly and tough⌠itâs a balance of strength and fine motor movements because both are kind of stuck on stiffly, but you canât overdo the force because you risk giving yourself a needle stick or dropping it. Itâs also hard when your thumbs bend back. I did drop the needle when descending upon the unlucky fruit the first time but itâs ok as it was just practice. I recapped because I have no sharps bin yet and might just use that syringe over and over to avoid wasting them. But then repeated removals might make it easier to remove the cap, when really what I need the most practice on is carefully twisting off the stiff new plastic. Go me for doing this though. I had/have a mild needle phobia and am now working on giving them.
Our pleasure. We are at your service.
$&@&$ we came from from a rather fun party to find the cats had declared war on each other and i wasted my entire fucking weekend with a migraine. Currently locked in the lounge toom with a shrieking cerys because we just did the zone swap and everything smells like misha and sheâs mad about it
Metric fuckton of honking going on⌠đŹđŹđŹ
