    HELLO!!! Nice to see you! And congratulations on tying the knot - if Mr Omoikiri can support you through a PhD he’s probably passed most of the tests I’m sure.

    I am completely in love with Mabel’s anime eyes and eye-dabs

      ご無沙汰しております。 🙇

      He ticks many boxes but he has yet to accept coriander as our lord and savour, and that’s been really hard for me to come to terms with if I’m perfectly honest.

      Mabel, however, is perfect

    Stay active and stretchy. Go join a pilates / yoga club.

    Seriously, It’s been nuts watching friends / in laws / hubs grumping about farting wrong and throwing their backs out, meanwhile i actually broke my back a few years back and am older and don’t have issues.

    (I also did gymnastics for years. Can’t do a full floor routine no mo but can still very easily roundoff / cartwheel/back arch as i barrel to my 50’s)

    source

    • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Normally I’m quite active, but recent issues have sidelined me. My current exercise regimen is limited to walk and bike rides. Yoga isn’t a bad idea. I was doing it for 3 years (started during lockdowns) and gave up due to lack of time.

    Very late 40s now and I’m falling apart at an alarming rate…

      Recovery takes so long for the mildest of things now. Only upside is lack of caring and needing less sleep.

    I was walking to the bathroom from the kitchen and apparently this angered my spine.

    It made its displeasure known quite loudly.

  Two of my friends who are often hours late to catchups are trying to get me to meet them on the far side of town for a late dinner. I’ve just been stood up so many times in the past that I really don’t have the energy for that nonsense. I like them, but they’re not reliable for catchups, so I’m not busting my balls for a catchup.

    You don’t need that after a busy day at work.

    Time is precious.

    source

    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      This is a good spider, it keeps its legs together in pairs so you can pretend it only has four legs, just like a cat or dog. Plus it kindly puts a nice distinctive cross in it’s web to make sure it is nice and visible for you. Nothing to fear here, this is one of the good guys!

  Woman sitting outside my apartment complex for 30 minutes. I asked her if she was ok. ☹️ She was not ok, just had her electric bike stolen and she was sitting there too afraid to go home and tell her guy. She said she was just away from it a few minutes and then it was gone. Not much I could do other than console and say call the police.

  I suspect the thieves were following her in a van and stole it real quick because what are chances of a bike being stolen like that?

  but bloody hell that is rough and just before xmas too

  source

  • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    That’s pretty rough 🙁 I witnessed an attempted bike theft at Coburg station a few days ago. Broad daylight, bike locked up right in the main bike parking bit as you walk into the station, heaps of people around. Suddenly this kid yells out, “OI! THAT’S MY FUCKIN’ BIKE!” He was with 3 mates and they looked like they were gonna run out onto the road (but thankfully didn’t because Bell Street). I looked and there’s this dude trying to undo the lock or something. He legged it and when the lights changed the kids came across the road and went to the bike. One of them said, “oh man, look what he’s done to your lock! You’re gonna have to call your parents.” Dude had obviously wrecked the lock in the process of trying to steal it and the kid couldn’t undo it. Bloody thieving is out of control!

  Hair feels much better now (although transitioning between styles so a bit boofy). Remembered at the last minute to water my friend’s plants near home. Managed some wins at uni too so I’m feeling alright. Things are under control for a moment!

  Maybe I’ll set up my new phone tonight. I’m quite ready to have my work stuff separate to personal again

  Thank fuck for the ol’ boys hoarding gene, found the right obscure bits. That took way too long to do.

  All good now though. Big sigh of relief. Pulling that thing apart and redoing it was not fun.

  I am supposed to be doing a survey counting birds in my garden and my neighbour’s toddler has chosen now to have a screaming/crying fit. The kid definitely has healthy lungs.

  source
• indisin@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  I may have goofed. Ordered some outdoor plants for our complete redo of the garden and without thinking rationally I just expected them to take 2-5 business days to arrive despite it being a local nursery, and I definitely didn’t expect getting a knock on the door and hour and a half later with them.

  And I can’t even plant them this weekend due to the heat on Monday :(

  Yikes. My other next door neighbour has just let me know that her car was broken into as well last week and she had a very new model with the new keys.

  It’s unsettling to hear that two of cars were broken into. We’re going to have to try and be vigilant and careful.

  The police apparently lifted a set of prints from her car and I hope they catch the person responsible for doing this.

  Pakige! The augers I ordered to drill holes for planting my seedlings arrived, along with a couple of new trowels. I’m very impressed by the quality of these ones, they seem very strong. I’ve had flimsy trowels that have bent, these look ike they should last a good long time.

  So I got confirmation that I’ve been unsuccessful with that job I did reference checks for two weeks ago. I’ll reply to the manager about it, but not right now. I’d like to work at this place in some context and I don’t think I’ll give the nicest response if I reply immediately

  Back at uni, someone’s in my usual desk spot but luckily the library has fuck all people in it so there I am.

  Made sure to PUT THE FUCKING PERMIT ON VISIBLY this time and triple checked. I haven’t contested the fine yet but my psych said she was willing to write a medical letter in support just to give it a go and I don’t feel like I deserve it but what the fuck, she offered, I’ll take it as a sign to try.

  So want to just bumble around today but I have a meeting with the other researchers at 2pm and feel like I don’t know shit about fuck (I’m supposed to be trying out the sampling method now but just want to stare at grass). My body is fully prepared for relaxation and connection, not thinking!
