Looks like a seahorse - surfing the wave.

Little seahorse destined for shore :)

Why does my dog continually want to go and sunbake outside when it’s 37 cunt degrees out there? He runs to the door like it’s urgent. I am not opening it even with those cute pleading eyes.
dumblederp@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Yeah, mine’s half Mexican, he spent 3 hours last night staring at me for his evening walk.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 months ago
😂
They have their own way of protesting.
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 months ago
What happens when you let your dog out on a day like this?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 months ago
He sunbakes on the path like a cat. When he’s had enough, he knocks on the door to come in. Half an hour later, he wants to go back out. He prefers this:
But because I have the door shut, he can’t sit in his favourite spot.

He looks like a nice guy who is really tired. 😊

So many layers …
Eagle@aussie.zone 2 months ago
You should see the layers of blankets my Pepper sleeps on, it’s the princess and the pea come to life. And to think she was sleeping rough as a kitten before we found her makes me add another blanket every other day!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
How is handling the heat? ( and how are you? ❤️ )

Woohoo, pakige! After inexplicably not getting one for over a decade since leaving home (despite growing up religiously using one), I finally got my own Borner V-slicer. Shipped direct from Germany no less - admittedly using Evil Bezos (I had a gift card).
yay
I can’t wait to slice up the rest of the daikon and carrot for a MUCH better-looking pickle. And then chunky batons of beetroot to make into a curry. And cabbage for a stir fry… no more questionable knifework!
I only really hope the latest models haven’t fallen to enshittification. My mum and aunt have been using their older ones for like 20 years now.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I can see myself losing a finger on that contraption.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 months ago
They have apparently made them a lot safer (especially with storage - you can now store all the pieces safely without exposing your fingers to the blades)
But yeah my grandma absolutely refused to use them back in the day no matter how convenient they are. I’ve definitely nicked myself in the past.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
the Borner is the original and best , my mum had one and I remember using it myself to help with the family cooking. I now have one myself , but another brand , and it’s indispensable for cutting oranges, lemons and limes for marmalade
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 months ago
God that picture brings back memories I tell ya
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 months ago
So much food prep awaits.

Clicking around a spreadsheet to make it sound like I’m working but I don’t caaaaaaaaaare. 🎶
Sasha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
I fucked up the inside of my lip at a show and it’s making me fucking miserable. I hate having to swallow half a tube of medijel just to eat…
While I’m here, if you’re a decent person and want to help protect trans rights in Australia after the Qld government decided to fuck over trans kids, come to the state library at 10am this Saturday.

look at that curly tummy on Bill😻 and Ted is looking good since I changed his diet, his skin is less irritated, he’s less cranky as a result and doesn’t mind being brushed as much
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 months ago
So beautiful 😻😻
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 2 months ago
V. tired
dumblederp@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I think everyone is. A few hot nights in a row is taking it’s toll.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I’m all 😍 with people’s pet pics! Keeping my mind off the fact that I’ve had an allergic/contact dermatitis reaction to a cream I was using on my facial burns 😭 For a while there I had ouchy annoying weeping burn coupled with OMG I want to scratch my face apart going on. Now have calmed it down a lot, might actually get a good sleep tonight 🥱. That cool breeze through the window is very welcome. I made a bluesky account and have been looking through some stuff. Don’t know if it’s something I’ll do on the regular, but it’s interesting until I get sick of it I guess.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Glad to hear it’s calming down and giving you a bit of a break from that - it’s an awful sensation!! I’m spinmeround on bluesky if you wanna follow each other, I don’t post much, but it’s usually random thoughts, quotes I hear and my thoughts on whatever KDrama I’m watching lol.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Cool! I just followed you. My username is gogopotato.

Lorikeet Pizza is back on the menu
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I think it’s Woodpecker brand suet. 😉
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 months ago
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 months ago
No wonder the dark russet are crunchy. They look burnt. I’d try the jalepeno.
mysticgreg@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Thanks!
And OK I didn’t even know off-brand Burger Rings was a thing!
Still, good to see someone sticking it to big-ring.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Is the suet made from wild birds?! And I haven’t seen burger rings since high school
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I have no idea but it’s eco friendly and comes in a ten pack. Those are big pluses. 👍

You can use it as bait to make your Cockatoo Cacciatore

Are these ready to be deep-fried?
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 months ago
So naturally had to check, can you deep fry a butterfly?.. the results were… conflicting.
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 months ago
They do move a bit…
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Silkworms?
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Emperor butterflies I think?
Eagle@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Wanderers!
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 months ago
That looks way more interesting than my job - are they hiring?
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I’ll get back to you.
It’s only one facet of the job, you’ll be dealing with munchkins most of the time.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Come on cool change!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Just a few more hours. Stay strong bro. YOU GOT THIS!!!
SituationCake@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Sun very red
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Breeze very welcomed
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 months ago
RIP Troy Selwood.
AFL Lions player and co captain of the Geelong cats VFL side.
Gone far too early.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I am sweating fucking buckets on the train. Lucky I changed into my gym gear leaving the office.
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I think the cool change has just started to roll in, noticed the temp has dropped quite a bit. Now it’s 27.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Yay! Now to get that to happen inside the house…
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Yup just left the office. It’s here 👍
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Home and I have dinner with me. Commence the veg-ing
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Accidentally spilt pvc primer then cement on my hands, then methylated spirits to get that shit off.
I’ve never looked so young.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Woke up at 4am due to needing the loo and ended up staying awake for pretty much the rest of the night being cranky about there being so many things I want to do and feeling like I just don’t have the time. Mostly because I’m going into the city for my birthday next weekend and want to do EVERYTHING – places I’ve been, but also try new places.
Anyone got any fav Can’t Miss This sort of city recs? I’m pretty set on going for at least a drink at Pearl Diver, hopefully Rooftop Bar, maybe some ramen at Snow Monkey, a bakery snack, a walk in gardens, urg, see, there’s too much!
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 months ago
it was very quiet in my house last night. Too quiet. Almost a bit sad.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Morning all!
Grackle@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Slept with the portable AC on last night and still slept pretty terribly. Looks like it’s going to hit max temp at around 2pm today and start cooling down. I’m thinking I’ll have to leave some of my windows open today if my apartment has any chance of cooling down after all this hot weather.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Good warm morning everyone 😴😎
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 months ago
They sure don’t make them like they used to
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
off to do some errands
Does anyone want anything from down the shops?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Good warm night everyone. 🔥🛏️
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Alright, so edible question. My doc recommended trying gummies which arrived today. They are 10mg thc/10mg CBD. I’m not really across what this equates to in terms of strength… Obviously edibles are slow onset, but how strong is this going to end up being in comparison to other methods of consuming (smoking, vaping etc)… I’ve had edibles exactly once 25 years ago, and they tasted so nice that I did the have way too much thing. Not wanting that to happen with these…

It took 6 weeks but I got my ridiculous $200 parking fine waived! Thank goodness… I really didn’t need an extra cost on top of everything else. Never making that mistake again. Not parking there after June this year anyhow!
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Thank goodness you had it waived, it was worth contesting it in the end!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 months ago
It took a lot of running around to get various documents but I’m glad I pushed through.

Buy yourself something nice with the money you saved!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Bah. It’s less so money saved and more so money not spent. I’m more than happy to see my bank balance not eaten away. I don’t need to dip into my savings for my hair cut and colour this week!
