Working to keep the money coming in over this period. At least I’ll be in for some chill days this week
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Honestly I should have done the same. It would have been so cruisy but ah well.

I had a “happy family” dream. Then l realised how much my reality negatively affacted my life.
Goddamn it.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’ve never had a happy family dream, only terrible ptsd nightmares
I do dream happy dreams with Mr Seagoon and Miss Seagoon.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’m usually the same, but this hit harder. “What could have been” if my father wasn’t mentally ill and refusing any treatment.
StudChud@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’m sorry friend. I feel that, and it sucks ass. My commiserations 💜

Day trip on the train to Geelong again. Will bring back pics of the beach and botanic gardens 🙂
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I really want to catch the ferry. I think you can take a bicycle as well, but they have like one trip a day.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Geelong Beach is better than any beach here in Melbourne imo. Have fun. 🙂
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Lovely day for it - have fun!

Jesus Christ you’ve been through a lot hugs I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better. Gave me flashbacks to living in youth housing as a homeless youth, druggies and vandalism and harrassment and people who were either fucked up or just shit people.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’m so sorry. What a nightmare, I hate these people for you. You know what kind of people hate birds? Trash people. They exist everywhere, it’s not a class thing. Some people are just arseholes regardless of their life situation. Admitting arseholes exist does not make one a bad person. You are still a good person.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
WHAT THE FUCK
I don’t know what to say, but I’m so sorry all that shit has happened. You have a right to feel safe in your own home. I absolutely understand you being soured on humanity if so much of your experience of it has been the worst of the worst!
I hope, if anything, that you find some comfort in this little corner of the internet <3
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
oh gees, there is nothing worse than having your private space violated
is some kind of community action possible?

This is probably the most important thing 💧for the most important person 🐈⬛ In this heat and with her kidneys it is so important for her to have water.
But I’m sorting everything out so there’ll be a few sources available
Pilk@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
There’s a rough/homeless bloke that hangs around La Trobe x Elizabeth in the city. He’s assaulted me twice now, once with use of actual force, and tonight I’ve just spotted him emptying a recycling bin and spreading the contents across La Trobe St.
The cops have a police report from when he punched me, but they simply don’t care enough (or perhaps don’t “have enough resources”) to look at the photo I sent them and actually hunt him down knowing his regular location.
The cunt’s an absolute menace and he’s very angry, all the time. He’s gonna seriously injure someone. I just give him a wide berth.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’m so sorry dude. I fucking hate when they get aggressive because there’s not a lot you can do to deescalate or help their situation and then you’re left calling the cops. (And getting assaulted.)
I spent a lot of time calling psych triage services and homeless outreach and the cops… what finally worked was some cops finally agreed to come for a welfare check and the guy skulked off. Touch wood.
Please just do what you can to keep yourself safe
StudChud@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Is it just me or is it really humid? I feel fat and sassy.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I can relate to the sassy
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Just got my marks back from my last assignment for my hated subject. I somehow managed a distinction, which means I might have managed an overall distinction for the subject (in not it is a credit). Not too bad considering I avoided doing anything I didn’t have to for the subject and left everything to the last minute.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Ahh the joys of being able to fit into kids clothes. People might make fun of me for being short but I can get cheaper clothes and shoes.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
bacon@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
They have better designs too
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
True. Except the sizing disparities between boys and girls clothing. Girls shorts are so much shorter than boys and they’ve got crop tops in the little girls section.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Morning gang. On a very quiet tram into the city for work. There’s a girl in an oldie with a little kitten nestled inside meowing 🥰

Nitwits setting off fireworks again. The cat’s hiding. Not a good week for pets.
tone212_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
They’re been going since boxing day in my hood. Apparently you gotta do multiple test runs for NYE.
Baku@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
At the last place, we had someone set them off at like 2am on Christmas day. It was bloody annoying, but at the same time, the morbid part of my mind cracked up at the idea of all the oldies in that area being woken up at 2am to the sound of explosions. The sort of thing that’s not funny, but is also, kind of funny
StudChud@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Got some chronic boredom. Nothing holds my attention and I don’t want to do anything, but I want some stimulation. Don’t want to watch anything though.
I hate this state of being. A weird mental limbo.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Probably understimulation. Maybe pace around to some music for a while, chew some gum. Play a computer game while listening to something
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
It sometimes happens to me too.
Feels like I’m in a state of limbo where I can’t decide to do a single thing even if I feel like I should be doing it.
Going to sleep early sometimes help.
blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
I get a bit like that when I’m not going outside enough. It sucks, because it also makes me not want to go outside (and I feel like I have no reason to).
bacon@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago

10 past 12 on a Monday? Perfect time for a beer 🍻
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Whiju fam. Just spilt my wine @ 12:15pm which is a new record for a monday.
StudChud@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Well done! Excellent form, friend!.😂
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
A big day at G today guys. 🏏
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’ve made an appointment for the doctor tomorrow, hopefully he will be able to evict this last stubborn bit of wood from my finger and I will be able to start the new year splinter free!
I think the stick can definitely be counted the winner in that little altercation - including tomorrow that will be four doctor visits, one tetanus injection, two boxes of antibiotics and nearly a week off work for me, vs being slightly jostled in the garden for the stick.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I will break a stick in the garden today in honour of your finger and strike fear into the phloem of all future sticks far and wide.
Baku@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Ngl you need to back-charge that splinter rent
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
What’s everyone doing tomorrow night?
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I doubt I’ll have the capacity to stay up until midnight. Too used to early starts with work.
If I’m splinter free I might do a celebratory pizza. If there are still any finger issues I’ll have a consolation risotto instead.
Baku@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’m just staying home. I bought some ginger beers, and will probably watch the fireworks on my phone (on that note - tomorrow nights DT will be early
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Well, you’ve had some interesting NYEs haven’t you?
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Very little. Might go up to Ruckers Hill and watch the fireworks from a safe distance. There’s some raised platforms in the local parks that are good viewpoints too. Spoiled for choice really. Other than that probably nothing much. Have some celebratory food planned, and the peaches on my mini tree are just coming up ripe so might have a peach fest before the bats discover them. At least the weather looks like being fairly mild so maybe not so many drunken revellers finding their way home by braille as last year.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Todays adventure involved lunch at The Boot Factory with the Minipeelers before seeing Vengeance Most Fowl. Was a very pleasant afternoon’s entertainment. Now at home and feel like a nap before cooking grilled chicken, which I have to do because the Minipeelers found a garlic aioli and Cholula they want to try 🤤
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
What a test match!!! That was awesome to watch!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Alright. Gym is done. Shopping is done.
Rest time, then clean the house.
Nath@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
The “Holiday” part of the Holiday starts today. Starting with a 5-hour drive to the south coast, where we will be for the next week or so. Denmark to maybe as far as Esperence.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Pulling out a bunch of statice today from the patio g-bed and adding / re-doing the soil. Mass planted a few years ago. I’ll keep them pots for a bit in case they go back in but secretly I hope they don’t make it. They’re a real bugger when weeds / grass starts growing through them. I can’t say I’m a huge fan of mass planting (except chilli heh). Much prefer a bit of colourful chaos.
So I’m going to push for a hyper varied bed. It’s raised about waist height, about 1m x 6m and has the watering system feeding it so heaps of different stuff could go in pretty much hands off. Lets see how we go.
Baku@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’ll be honest, I’ve still done an embarrassing amount of u packing. Today’s big thing was moving the TV stand into the living room. Can’t put the TV there yet, because I previously had it mounted to the wall in the last place, and have misplaced the screws for the stand
Still a lot of boxes though. I want to at minimum clear the benches tonight cause I feel embarrassed having randos come in to an unkempt house. I wouldn’t call it dirty, but sometimes disorganized can feel just as messy
When they get here, I’m going to ask nicely if they can try and figure out where the bloody thing got in. They’re just here for a “carcass removal”, not to bait or anything, so perhaps our of their job description. But maybe if I ask nicely they won’t mind having a 5 minute look
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Bunny has been missing a whole week. I found it stuffed in between the couch cushions. Somebody is very happy. He has been licking it for the last 10 minutes.
