    3rd migraine in a week, not pleased , will just try to sleep and rest it off

    • underwatermagpies@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Me too, and I was only just recovering from the last five-day effort. It’s the stormy weather triggering me today I reckon.

    Ugh. So sick of my weeping face… it’s sloooowly getting better but this hot weather is pretty hard. Cursing myself and my nighttime stupidity every day. Everyone starting work early Monday and Tuesday in order to finish early. I can’t because school run. So I’ve got Monday off that I know of because there’s no point in them having me go in for a couple of hours. Possibly Tuesday as well. Nice but need the moolah. So between cursing myself and being skint I’m a miserable bitch lol. Going to look at animal pictures 😄

        Thanks mate 🥹

    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I just to suffer from it. For the longest time no one would work out what it was.

      Now I know what it is after a decade.

      Hope they’ve given you antibiotics for it and you may need some cream or something to go with it.

      It’ll get better with some time and proper rest with those meds.

      source
      • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Thanks mate! Yeah they did give me some antibiotics and I’ve found Medicream (the one with the lignocaine) to be best at this stage.

    That was a really gloomy swim just now down here. Loved it.

        We’re good thank you for the concern :) But wow this is violent!

    So the praying mantis is still hiding in my studio. I believe it’s a male and I don’t have the heart to tell it its head could be devoured upon sexy time. If it were smart it should get a little mantis helmet.

    It is doing a wonderful job with flies though.

      He’s now your pet. He needs a name.

      • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I’m gonna call him Sir Climbsalot.

        source
    • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I wonder how common the head thing is. Do you think it got observed one time and then mantises got a reputation for it?

      Shit is really kicking off down there, those rain bands are seemingly materialising out of nowhere! Good timing to have cleaned the gutters. Hope no crazy disasters @Bottom_racer.

      Skies are darkening where I am (NW suburbs). Radar’s not showing anything though. Come on my garden needs a drink.

      source
      • TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Same here. Low grey threatening clouds, wind gusts but so far no rain. And I watered the garden too so here’s hoping.

    Spent the day with a close mate. Sat around talking all day in front of the aircon. Was fucking awesome! He’s a really good guy, super chill and has a very grounding presence.

    Hope everyone is doing OK out there ❤️

    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      That’s a nice way to spend the day, especially when it’s so hot outside.

      When you going to be going on your date?

      Good to see you’ve got cat tv on in the background.

      • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Going on Thursday night. I’ve found a nice bar down south Yarra to grab a drink and see if we get along.

        I pretty much talk to anyone and everyone who I feel wants to talk so meeting new people is always fun regardless.

        I don’t go with any expectations and I think that’s the right way to approach things. Always up for making a new friend :)

    Hilarity from the Other Place. No you should not ask your Ex to use a clone a Willy kit! Reminds me of the running bet I had with myself about how many pages into a thesis by a male sculpture student I could get without finding a replica of their cock.

    Stop what you’re doing, it’s time for an icy pole. And a drink of something non-alcoholic. Even if you just finished an icy pole, have another one please. Or an ice cream.

    Keep up that hydration. 💧🍦🧊🧃

    source
    • Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Imma eat them all.

      Fuuuuu, I am cooked. Like overdone. I should have had some more water before I left. Felt fine (albeit sweaty asf) until I got off my bike and walked in and suddenly felt off.

      Lucky it was just for a moment and the home is cool and dark.

      source
      • underwatermagpies@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I watched a bit of the Bellarine road race on tv and that was quite enough cycling for me. Definitely have all the icy poles!

        By all means drink all the alcohol, if you fancy. But please drink plenty of water too. It’s so easy to dehydrate im this weather, and alcohol makes it easier.

    After spending big money on the recent bike service they still didn’t fix the puncture I brought it in for. If I need to replace the tyres I’m going to get the very sensible Schwalbe Marathons instead of these temperamental and expensive racing tyres

      After spending big money on the recent bike service

      It’s a ripoff. I was shocked with my last one years ago (was $400 and I’m not even sure what they did). I just do it myself these days w/ the help of YT. Not for everyone but once you do it once it’s easy.

      source

        I love YT for demonstration videos

      • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        They replaced the chain and rear sprocket, which makes sense since I’ve been towing a trailer. Its more that I took it in to get a specific thing fixed and they didn’t do that, whilst charging me for everything else

    • dumblederp@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’ve been happy with my marathons. I used to get continental gatorskins but they dropped in quality - I tore through the side wall on three in a year. Plus the marathons have the reflective stripe, I’m big on cycling visibility.

      source
      • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        That’s what I want. Nice, simple tyres that just get the job done. I mostly use my bike for commuting so I don’t need fancy race tyres

    Shout out to Pilpel for making one of the nicest taramasalata dips I’ve ever had I think. I will even forgive them for putting ‘DAIRY FREE’ and ‘GLUTEN FREE’ on the label. Had some on buttered bread and more on some lettuce leaves. Mega delicious - they’ve got the balance of fish roe and lemon juice just right. Seriously moreish.

      taramasalata dips

      I’ve never heard of that. Will have to give it a go!

      source
      • TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        The standard recipie is salted fish roe (any sort), bread soaked in water, and lemon juice blitzed up with some olive oil. Dip comes out pinkish and creeeeaamy and loaded with umami. Lovely as a dip, or an emergency pasta sauce. Easy to get wrong, bloody delicious when done right. Would go OK with paprika on top I reckon.
