Mine is just me naked though
Wait sorry. Got confused. That’s the apparel I do gay things in, not my gay apparel.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I wearing a soft dressing gown with a big pointy hood , pompoms and a dalmatian print. Is that gay enough 😊
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Leopard print dressing gown, ugg boots and sunglasses here.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Mine’s got bells on it
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Sibglet and boxers lol
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I can arrange rainbow socks, leather chaps, and hot pink leopard print knickers.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I’m open to that
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Ok, how many Christmas jumpers do you own and which one are you gonna don today?
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I don’t own a single one sadly. I’m wearing my FXD pants and steel cap boots tho, so that’s a bit gay I guess.
omoikiri@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Remembering that Mr Omoikiri is a second-language speaker of English and that Christmas isn’t really a thing in his culture, it’s only really been since he’s been with me that he’s been exposed to the full on festive spirit. He’s a newly discovered big fan of Christmas carols and has a beautiful singing voice so he’s always belting them out, but doesn’t have the best grasp on the lyrics.
I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as hard as the other day when he was singing while he was cleaning the kitchen and came out with:
🎶Have yourself a merry little Christmas, let the gay times rolls🎶
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 3 months ago
That’s gold😂
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I can’t believe I was dumb enough that I still have to work today
Eagle@aussie.zone 3 months ago
It’s a good day to be paid to do hopefully not much.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Depending on what line of work you’re in. I’ll be getting paid to be at home with a clamp on the TAB key of my work laptop so I look like I’m available
Nath@aussie.zone 3 months ago
So, there’s a bug with the graphics drivers at work, where if the 4K displays go to sleep, all the windows are on the primary display when I get back to the computer. It’s super annoying, but nothing worked to stop it.
In the end, I bought a little gadget that stops the display from going to sleep. It is a small USB device that moves the mouse 1 pixel every 10 seconds. While it solved my problem, it is designed for your exact use case: amzn.asia/d/cyeA6qH
It presents as a USB mouse to the computer, doesn’t need any software. It keeps you “available” all day. Just thought you might like to know it exists. 😉

Bob Katter-style face change
But I haven’t got time for that because I CAN’T CHANGE THE ORDER OF THE NAVIGATION BUTTONS ANYMORE REEEEEEEEE

Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 months ago

Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Sounds really delicious. So when is dinner?
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 3 months ago
It goes with lunch tomorrow. There’s no dinner tonight but I can make some eggs and avocado on toast if you like.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Ffs… I have socks that are still going after many years but ones I haven’t had very long keep ripping at the toe.
I just sewed up the hole using a lightbulb because I didn’t have a wooden mushroom. Not bothering to darn as the fabric will likely just rip at the edge.
I’d knit my own but the materials are also getting expensive and shitty
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 months ago
A lightbulb 💡 that is genius!
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 months ago
It’s not perfect but I didn’t want to buy the proper thing
indisin@aussie.zone 3 months ago
So where’s Santa going to leave the treats?
This sounds like an emergency.

Anyone have a keyfinder with replaceable battery they can rec? My stick n find hath finally died after a decade of solid service
Nath@aussie.zone 3 months ago
If you have Apple, Airtags are the best. Stupid expensive ($50) though. You can get cover things to make them into keyrings.
Has the advantage of being able to find your keys on an app wherever you left them.
At less than half the price and with a much smaller ‘find my tag’ network is the Tile Mate. You can get them at JB or Officeworks.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 months ago
A decade of solid service? How often are you losing your keys? Do you have to whistle then it whistles back? How does it work? Have you tried a rounders bat like the servo dunny keys have?
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I rarely lose my keys, but handy to have.
Larger concern is His Lordship has the other one from the packet…and ADHD

You know the other day when I brought up the topic of alternative milk? Well the brave man went out to run some errands and bought back coffees. Apparently our Coles express ran out of milk so oat milk it is. Not bad. Not good either.
If lucky numbers pop into my head, I’ll let youse know!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Oat is probably my least favourite of the alt milks. Soy is best, almond is good enough as well.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I burped. It tasted like coffee flavoured porridge.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 3 months ago

Work is slow today (yay), I’ve done most of my 200 pages of textbook reading (boo) so now I’m making a list (of things to do to the house to prepare to sell to move back home) and checking it twice.

5 of the 6 marigolds seedlings are still alive (the 5th might be dead due to being stepped on by a workman). Maybe 1 of the sunflowers came up. Some of the alyssum might be coming up but unsure. One of the nasturtiums came up.
It doesn’t seem they do well direct sown, probably because the spot is a sandy dust bowl and I don’t go out there often enough to keep the seeds moist. They’re fairly drought tolerant but probably need to be a bit more established first.
I’ve been raising more in paper cups and a foil tray and today planted out 3 nasturtium seedlings I grew inside. The mix of nasturtium, alyssum and sunflowers I sowed in the foil pan show signs of things coming up. I also got some kind of poppies.
I wish I’d been able to weed and dig over the dirt properly but I don’t think I can plus there’s a weird hard compacted layer of sand that would be difficult to break through. And that stupid tree is still sucking everything up and obstructing with its roots. Even if the plants were safe there (they’re kind of not - hence cheap disposable annual seeds) it would take a bit of work and time to make it suitable for growing food.
But I saw another native bee buzzing around my zucchinis so I might be getting somewhere.
Eagle@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I’ve had a bad success rate with sunflowers, and I can usually grow anything.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 months ago
It says they’re drought resistant and don’t like to be transplanted both due to the long taproot… but someone else said they like a bit of food and water to get them started.
So I probably need to start them inside or in a container where I can attend to them a bit more and then plant out while they’re still small enough to not be as bothered by it
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Made a fillet o fish sandwich for dinner tonight.
Very yummy indeed.
Might put a movie on later tonight depending on my mood.
Watched Challengers last night. Wasn’t bad but I’m definitely not a fan of all of the time skipping in it. Didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would.
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Ant bait stations built, time for incessant carolling
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I’m just taking it slow. Make pizzas for dinner, then all the scones and cream.
Iron my pants for tomorrow. Make sure all the presents are there and wrapped and tagged properly. Tomorrow morning make the fairy bread, water the garden then get ready and off to the cousins. 🙂
