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 3 months ago

CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Me too! It’s gonna be a lucky year for us! 🐍
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 3 months 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 3 months ago
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 months ago
That’s a nice picture.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Okay I’m going to officeworks. What pens do you want?
Pilk@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Eagle@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I always wanted Derwents in a big wooden box!
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Faber Castell all the way for me.
indisin@aussie.zone 3 months ago
One of those old pens where you can pick from like a bajillion colours
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Erasable ink pens?
bacon@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Pastel highlighter and colour pencils
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 3 months ago
That is an excellent haul 👌🏻
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Lamy green fountain pen ink?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 months ago
The erasable pens please. Make sure the eraser is on both ends please.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Have recently discovered Pilot Juice pens and I looooove them!
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 months ago
A bottle of purple Windsor & Newton please
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 months 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 3 months ago
I adore that sundial
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 months ago
The garden looks like it’s starting to settle in. 🌞
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I think it’ll be ok :) a few losses but most seem to be making it out alive.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months ago
I made the mistake of looking at the forecast for next week 🥵
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Well there goes the weekend. Aircon and sleep it is.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Eeep.
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Holy crap, that’s awful.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Oh that is properly ugly. Fingers crossed some of it gets revised down.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 months 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 3 months ago
I know that you mean. The excitement has pretty much evaporated for me as well.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months ago
Yea the backup is gonna be an issue. Don’t mind a clean slate though, sort of liberating.
Nath@aussie.zone 3 months 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 3 months ago
I slept like shit
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months ago
Omg! Just realised I will be able to put asparagus in the new garden. 💚
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months ago
Can’t sleep, clown will eat me.
At least I’m up early, and hopefully I’ll sleep tonight.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Good night everyone, love you all, sweet dreams 😘
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months ago
What shall it be for breakfast in the city today… I’m think phó at the minute
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Visiting a client today. Always a good time with these guys!
Hopefully a nice easy day. Hopefully…
just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months ago
what did it need in the end?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 months ago
New windscreen and an engine bracket needed to be changed.
