Got busy last weekend making a window panel for my portable AC. Current me is grateful for past me.

3rd migraine in a week, not pleased , will just try to sleep and rest it off
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 3 months 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.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 months ago
reciprocal hugs 😢
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Feel better. Doesn’t sound nice at all.
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Ugh! I don’t migraine (I think?) but my sinuses are hell. Tight as band around the temples etc
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Ugh, rest up friend. Random migraines are the worst.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Hope you feel better soon, Seagoon

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 😄

Love me some beans 😍
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 months ago
hugs, it will get better
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 months ago
It will, I’m just impatient and a bit depressed
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 3 months ago
hugs I really feel for you going through this.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Thanks mate 🥹
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 months 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.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 months 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.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 months ago
That was a really gloomy swim just now down here. Loved it.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I really worry about you Bottom 🌊🏊🏼♀️😳. I know I’m not the only one in this community who does.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 months ago
We’re good thank you for the concern :) But wow this is violent!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 months ago
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.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 months ago
He’s now your pet. He needs a name.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I’m gonna call him Sir Climbsalot.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 months 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?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 months ago
And just like that, the zonk begins.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Baaaad weather down the Bellarine - fishul warning Hope our bottom racer is OK plus anyone else down there.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 months ago
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.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Lotsa rumble grumbles. trying to take piccys but no dice yet :(
tone212_@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Skies are darkening where I am (NW suburbs). Radar’s not showing anything though. Come on my garden needs a drink.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Same here. Low grey threatening clouds, wind gusts but so far no rain. And I watered the garden too so here’s hoping.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Eee it’s lovely :)
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 months ago
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 3 months 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 3 months 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 :)
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 months ago
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.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I made a bit of headway trying to get a not to work on here. I figured out how to edit read-only files on linux. I just need to get docker to work now and I should be able to post to testing
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 months ago
After this, I never want to eat jelly, custard or ice cream again.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Don’t forget the salt rinse!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 months ago
On it chief 🫡
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Ahahaaa i was thinking about a midnight walk.
Fuck nyooooooo
bacon@aussie.zone 3 months ago
In my undies, spent a whole afternoon watching Love, Death + Robots while drinking watermelon coconut water. Now door is open and I am enjoying a lime icy pole. This is good.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I’m starting to get cranky now.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 3 months ago
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. 💧🍦🧊🧃
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 3 months 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.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 3 months 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!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 months ago
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 3 months ago
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.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 months ago
icy pole has been consumed , also a handful of plain corn chips
tired 😴
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Excellent.
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I have ‘cocktail’ zooper doopers. The expresso martini one is a face punch!
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Well that sounds super fancy!
SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I just had some watermelon. Crunchy hydration!
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Yum!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I went for a 45 min walk just to get out of the house.
That’s me for the day.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Oof. I hope a cold drink was involved.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 months ago
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
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 months ago
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.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I love YT for demonstration videos
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 months 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 3 months 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.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 months 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
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 3 months ago
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.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I’ve heard their hommus is pretty good too. I’ll have to try the taramasalata one of these days
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 months ago
taramasalata dips
I’ve never heard of that. Will have to give it a go!
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 3 months 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.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Very pleased it’s not as hot as it it was meant to me. Thank you weather gods
just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Super surprised by the possible thunderstorm forecast this afternoon
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Saw that. I swear their forecasts are becoming less accurate from further out but there’s probs data there to prove me wrong.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Bacchus Marsh is getting hit hard. Would not be surprised to hear of flooding there by morning.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Anyone down round Geelong? Radar looks WILD down there
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I need a fat sleep
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 3 months ago
My lemon lime bitters cost more than a beer.
But what is sweet is the breeze in the trees up in Marysville.
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Stuffed myself full of food and some wine for my dad’s bday.
On the verge of a food coma which isn’t good as I need to drive home soon.
Not a bad way to spend the weekend.
Salvo@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I’m out watering the garden at the moment.
Well, I am relocating and timing the sprinklers as necessary, patting the dog, listening to birdsong and drinking my morning coffee.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Hi friends. Happy Sunday 🥰
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Cool breeze coming in from the west here in Thornbury. Very welcome. Still humid and too hot for my liking. Some lightning off to the west.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Got one.
That took too much time shoulda got that waay earlier.

SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 months ago

PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Beautiful!
