That’s a view and a half.
Weird story. Went to St. patricks cathedral with an ex and her aunt (who was a devout catholic). She was bangin’ on about how god was everywhere ‘like the internet’. ‘In walls, in the air’. A few hours earlier she asked me to set up her wifi / chuck in the router password on her phone to use ex’s internet at ex’s home… so I asked her if god forgets his password too.
Didn’t go down too well.

Absolute gold!
morebento@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago

CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Me too! It’s gonna be a lucky year for us! 🐍
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Good sirs, if you are going to have the balls to charge 25 dollars for a Calabrese salad then, for the love of god, the tomatoes better not be CRUNCHY. And the cheap arse everyday toms from the supermarket. 😡 It’s only three ingredients FFS.
This is what I get for thinking I am going to have a little early treat because I have been disciplined this year so far. Back to home cooked.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
That’s a nice picture.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Okay I’m going to officeworks. What pens do you want?
Pilk@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Eagle@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I always wanted Derwents in a big wooden box!
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Faber Castell all the way for me.
indisin@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
One of those old pens where you can pick from like a bajillion colours
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Erasable ink pens?
bacon@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Pastel highlighter and colour pencils
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
That is an excellent haul 👌🏻
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Lamy green fountain pen ink?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
The erasable pens please. Make sure the eraser is on both ends please.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Have recently discovered Pilot Juice pens and I looooove them!
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
A bottle of purple Windsor & Newton please
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
phone up and running. Oppo A18. Pretty painless. Not bad for $180.
First piccy:
Nothing to write home about but it works.
Taleya@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I adore that sundial
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
The garden looks like it’s starting to settle in. 🌞
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I think it’ll be ok :) a few losses but most seem to be making it out alive.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
do they still have that god awful over the top UI with all the colours? or have they finally toned that down a bit?
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
It seems pretty toned down. I was expecting far worse heh. Keeps on automatically installing shit though. Deleted candy crush 4 times now lol :(
DolphinLundgrin@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I made the mistake of looking at the forecast for next week 🥵
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Well there goes the weekend. Aircon and sleep it is.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Eeep.
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Holy crap, that’s awful.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Oh that is properly ugly. Fingers crossed some of it gets revised down.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
New phone probably arriving today. As a kid would’ve been excited but not these days so got an el’ cheapo crappy one (oppo something or rather).
Old iphone refuses to charge I think because of bringing into the ocean so many times and the charging port has corroded lol. Worth it though. Had to be replaced anyway but I’m glad it kicked the bucket doing what it loved.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I know that you mean. The excitement has pretty much evaporated for me as well.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
this is the leading argument in my mind to jump ship every so often. Samsung to iphone? Huge. Samsung to Samsung or iphone to iphone? meh. Running my poor 13 into the ground till theres something worth upgrading, like the 120hz display on the new pros.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
love new phone days! But yeah a cheap oppo is probably a bit hard to get excited about. Wont you not have a backup if your moving to a non-iphone?
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Yea the backup is gonna be an issue. Don’t mind a clean slate though, sort of liberating.
Nath@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
30-60 minutes with a new phone, and it looks identical to my old phone. If I took a screenshot of my phone from 10 years ago, it’d be close enough to my present phone as to be indistinguishable.
Where they differ is the quality of the photos I take. I still took my DSLR around most of the time 10 years ago. I rarely bother these days. It still takes better photos, but the difference is not worth the effort unless I’m specifically going some place to take photos.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I slept like shit
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
me too. Second night in a row. Dont know if its cause Im crook or what but my brain is just racing.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
finally got to a ripe strawberry before whatever is eating them (despite being net’ed I might ad). God it was good! Only 1, and not massive but it was so sweet and flavorful how do you ever go back to store brought ones after that?!
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
You don’t. Homegrown strawbs have spoiled me for life. As has homegrown asparagus, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers and green beans. And quite a lot of other veg that I haven’t grown for a while now. But home strawbs a pretty damn special.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
man dont talk to me about tomatoes at the moment. tomatoes are probably the biggest stress point in my life right now. Got a decent amount but still very very green and the plants are clearly in distress.
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Omg! Just realised I will be able to put asparagus in the new garden. 💚
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Yay, I have clearance to “piss off” early today. Just have to make a site visit quickly, spend a little time there and go home from there.
Should be home before 2:30 today.
Just in time for the cricket and a late lunch!

I’m running a local version of the new Deepseek “Ai” and I’m really fucking impressed.
This is a bigger deal than I thought.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I get the whole pokemon thing now.
I’ve watched a handful of episodes. Can definitely see how it became so popular.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Everyday, I wake up and I feel like I haven’t really woken up until night time. So I go the whole day metaphorically staring into space.
Maybe I need to start taking iron tablets again.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Friend: You should get married someday. You seem like the type.
Me: Why?
Friend: So you can give us red pockets. Married people are supposed to give them out.

Rode into work today for the first time and it’s a pleasant ride. This is also comparing a 15km ride to a 33km ride into the city. I also don’t have to cart a laptop to work, and I’m not towing a trailer full of kids which I usually do on the bike
chingatello@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Can’t sleep, clown will eat me.
At least I’m up early, and hopefully I’ll sleep tonight.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Good night everyone, love you all, sweet dreams 😘
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I made a bowl of jelly again.
Wonder if I should save it for the warmer weekend coming up.
Also got no idea how to start and finish this penatonne I was given a few weeks ago.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
lost my favorite pair of glasses. no worries go to order a replacement, except they don’t do them any more. god damn it now I gotta go start the process all over again!
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
What shall it be for breakfast in the city today… I’m think phó at the minute
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Visiting a client today. Always a good time with these guys!
Hopefully a nice easy day. Hopefully…
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Bit of an itch to scratch with medical dramas so I tried watching Brilliant Minds. Dear lord this is absolute schlock compared to The Pitt. The direction is cliche, the dialogue is revoltingly bad and Zachary Quinto absolutely can’t act. Terminated
Maybe I should try watching Scrubs some day… maybe that could be my treat when I finish uni.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I didn’t know that Baci chocolates come with a quote inside. This one I had was this: “Love life more than its logic, for only then will you grasp its meaning”
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Maybe eating discount 7/11 sandwiches two days in a row wasn’t the best idea. Either that or something else is definitely setting off the fart machine big time today
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
FINALLY!
My car is back from the mechanics who was doing the roadworthy check.
It’s officially legal to drive lol
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
what did it need in the end?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
New windscreen and an engine bracket needed to be changed.
