I must make pizza more often. Last night’s pizza is even better for lunch today
dumblederp@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I generally prefer cold pizza to fresh.

I got a direct call from a copper and I honestly thought the jig was up, my entire life of high crime had finally caught up to me and they were gonna ask me to exit the apartment with my hands up.
But no, they just needed access to my floor, and I guess I was one of the contacts they had for this address.
I will continue my life of crime until otherwise demanded.

Are you hiding hot cross buns again?
Pilk@aussie.zone 1 week ago
At my place I only play hide the sausage

Migraine. And dumb junkies next door screaming at 4am.
Fuck.

Circlingday
It’s the day we start a new circle around the sun, and it’s the day after the big one.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Boooo to back pain. Great start to new year. Thanks.
Ahhh I feel a bit better now after that rant.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Booo. Hope you’re feeling better by the time the weekend comes.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Thanks. I hope so too.

Day one of Singapore done - 26k steps. Told the boyo I like to walk everywhere on holidays!
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Ooo where did you walk today?
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 week ago
We walked around Gardens by the Bay, did the 2 domes (Cloud Forest was AMAZING), walked to the Flyer, back to the hotel for a swim, then to Lau Pa Sat (not my jam but worth seeing). Feet were feeling it a little by the walk back!
Walking around the neighbourhood today, then another swim me thinks!
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 week ago
My overnight oats this morning were a perfect blend, everything balanced well - sweet but not too sweet, a good amount of thick creamy yoghurt, a nice touch of vanilla. 10/10

Also, I’m taking the battle wagon in for repairs tomorrow. Someone drove into the back of me in November 😕
Almost exactly one year prior to that, someone crunched me in the side. That took like 6 weeks to repair.
It doesn’t really matter how careful you drive, someone will find you and smash you.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 1 week ago
My last car got written off parked in front of the house. A hooning p-player hit a car that hit a car that hit my car, which was a spectacular effort!
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Whoa. What are the odds? I have a similar story but it makes me wonder, how often these things happen.
I don’t hear of car incidents happening from coworkers or family ever, but I’ve seen two accidents right in front of me in the last two weeks.
I should get a dash cam. Or life insurance.
dumblederp@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Dang, the UV is staying high until 6pm. I thought it’d get earlier sooner with the solstice.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Finally can relax now.
I’ve had my photo taken for my licence renewal. Was a super long line that went out of the post office this morning.
Did a lot of food shopping and snacks and drinks for the hot weekend and test cricket.
Going to indulge in making some dessert, jelly with two jars of morello cherries in it.
It’s going to be perfect for the next few hot days as a treat.
Got my apple and cinnamon hot cross buns and had a haircut as well.
Now I need to make dessert and have a coffee.
I’m tired!
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Ooh, jelly, brilliant idea! I even have crystals in the cupboard.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I may have used too many cherries.
I think only one jar was needed.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 week ago

It worked!

Now you go to sleep happy!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I am home alone today and have a day off work. I might watch a movie, practise my instruments and actually log it in my practise diary, and take the dog for a walk.
I want to try and watch a movie a week this year.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 week ago
What stuff do you do for practice?
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 week ago
My teacher gave me a spider exercise, one octave of the C major scale and picking exercises for guitar. I’m still trying to get the hang of picking and fretting. The whole hand eye coordination thing.
And then piano, a couple of songs.
I won’t have time for all this when uni starts again, so one of the instruments will have to be a casual thing.

Can’t believe it’s already the 2nd of January. The year is speeding by so fast! Soon it’ll be the 3rd. Perhaps, even the 4th or 5th? Who can know for sure.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 week ago
The first food I ate in the new year was hot cross bun, so the year is starting off good.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Back from Castlemaine and a little rested now.
It’s such a pretty town, that gold rush money was well spent.
Pics tomorrow.
I’m going to bed early, good night, sweet dreams. 😘😘😘
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Good night ❤️
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Such a great little town, always loved the garden there!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Today the Seagoons are going to Castlemaine by train. Such a pretty historic town. Will take some pics. 🙂
dumblederp@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Pick up a tin of Castlemaine Rock? I had Togs cafe, upstairs on the balcony recommend recently.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Big day of weeding today.
Bad back from moving soil the other day ✔️ Ibuprofen ✔️ Savlon ✔️ Sticks ✔️ Gloves ✔️ Hopes and dreams ❌
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Sticks? no no no no no, you need to keep right away from sticks. Dangerous little buggers.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I think you’ve unlocked a few new phobias for a few of us here with your unfortunate stick encounter.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Oooh 2025 holiday…you gave me fever…FEVER!
feeling crappy vent
Still negative on the RAT for flu and the Rona but this is not good. Sitting up for a bit to keep my lungs clear. Head and face are so sore. Loaded up with paracetamol and Nurofen at 7pm. Managed a good lunch but really struggling to eat dinner. Might just crawl into bed. Ugh just when I felt like I was finally relaxed. I am really upset. I also know I have a bad mental reaction to fever so might just yell into the void here for a bit.
At least I cleaned my fridge and bought fresh food before it hit. And finally watched guardians of the galaxy 3 - I had always had to turn it off at the sad animals before. Made it through. 4/5 racoons.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I just had the first stage of my root canal done. I took Panadol ahead and let the dentist know that I don’t tend to numb with the normal amount of anaesthetic so I managed better than I thought.
I’m now just waiting to see what the pain is like when the numbness wears off
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Very disappointed with the lack of news regarding morons blowing their faces or limbs off with fireworks. Are we getting smarter as a country?
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 week ago
A cybertruck exploded and killed the driver, out the front of a trump hotel in the US. I think that’s as good as it’s gonna get regarding idiots buying badly made toys lol
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 week ago
There were fireworks involved in the explosion as well.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I think every Cybertruck owner gets exactly what they deserve.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 week ago
naturally selected out
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 week ago
One can only hope.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 1 week ago
There was one in Kalkallo about a week ago, 19 year old killed. Didn’t slow anyone else down.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I honestly want to feel sorry, but somehow I don’t? At the age of 19, if someone doesn’t understand the dangers of explosives…such is, I guess.
mysticgreg@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Welp, back at work. Very tough to get out of bed this morning. Pray for Mojo.
Happy New Year Lemmites!

A friend at work with challenged me to play chess a few days ago, after not mentioning it this whole first four months we have been working together very closely - when it has come up in conversation many times (it’s a hobby of mine and I’ve mentioned a few times meeting up with friends at cafes to play), and I’ve played games with a few other colleagues.
I’m not very good or anything but like I kinda know what I’m doing. He has beaten me about 15 games in a row so far, in dominant fashion. The most recent game he sacrificed his queen as his third move - literally just giving up his most powerful piece on purpose to handicap himself, and he won that game too. He’s incredibly good and just happened to keep that fact hidden for months for some reason. So strange and interesting!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 week ago
My sister plays backgammon and she kept nagging me to play so I crammed for about 3 months straight. Next time she asked I said “sure but go easy on me. Haven’t played in years”. First game I won “oh look beginners luck”. Second game she won. Next 3 I won. She never asked me again.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 week ago
That’s kind of how I learned guitar lol
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 1 week ago
🤣 backgammon is tough! I haven’t played in ages but it was a lot of fun
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Sign up for chess.com or lichess and get some practice in…
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I do play on chess.com! Only vs friends though normally, not really wanting to study and grind it at the moment, just play with friends and have fun
Baku@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Gonna try and get to bed now. Not sure it’ll work very well since I basically slept 90% of the day away
Quietish year I think this year. Big birthday in 72 days (I’ve been counting for the last 300). Then I finish my course in I think October (or maybe it’s November? I can’t bloody remember). I don’t really have a whole lot else happening. I’m one of those people that needs specific dates to look forward to, or in the case of Christmas and New year, a date I dread that I can say “the sooner it comes, the sooner it goes”
Scary year, too, though

Today has been a nothing day. Just avoiding making my headache worse. I think after I feed the strays I’m going to play some ps5 and crash early.
Shame to have lost a day of leave to being in bed.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Watched Night in Paradise this evening. Brutal (as Asian gang movies often are) but odd pacing and dynamic with a smidge of romance. Kind of satisfying ending, but just tragic.
Also watched The Roundup. I’ll never get tired of Ma Dong-seok‘s characters beating up baddies. The slapping in The Outlaws cracks me up.
Off to bed soon. Need to get some nutritious food into my engine, while the indulgent food might be tasty the sluggish is not.
Night all. ✨
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Headache starting to lift. It’s the nausea that gets me. The pain is bad, but when it’s mixed with that sick stomach feeling it fucks you up.
That said, let me present cat tower 2:

You may notice its not being used. Because:

I’ll be taking a break from buying cat towers for a while 🤣
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 week ago
The box always win.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 week ago
What about sprinkling a bit of cat nip on the top platform only?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Not a bad idea! I tried treats, but I think i need to pick a better place. I’ve just put it in the bedroom now.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 week ago
