Yeah, I’ve hurt my knee. Pes anserine bursitis at a very educated guess. Got a bag of Epsom salt glad wrapped to it… And elevated.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 17 hours ago
I didn’t know you could use Epsom salts like that, it honestly never occurred to me. Does it work well? I’ve always just dissolved it in a bath.

I must have walked at least 5k yesterday, probably my longest walk in a year. I’m a bit tired but also glad my back isn’t sore from it. 🙂
just_kitten@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
That was an alright sort of day. Feel like I’ve been operating on autopilot… anyway it’s good to be home to a pre-cooled lounge room, time to heat up a hearty dinner and enjoy this week’s tv! My favourite thing about Fridays atm 🥳
What’s everyone’s plans for the weekend? I’ve got to list these dang little items on fbm before my rental inspection in two weeks, and probably do more bulk cooking. Nothing much else otherwise. Try and finish Juice, I guess

Saturday recovery. Sunday prepare for the week. Washing that loves the outdoors.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 19 hours ago
Another Saturday chill day person? People often assume I prefer to have active Saturdays and chill Sundays like many others, maybe a hangover from when Sundays were for rest and church and all that but I desperately need my sleep-in and recovery day on Saturday, not Sunday.

looking at houses
getting rid of stuff
reading
writing in my art journal

House hunting and decluttering can take up so much energy, it sounds like it’s a move for a good reason though? And at least not rushed
Duenan@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
Shopping tomorrow early as possible at Southland for groceries and a click and collect.
Staying cool and catching up Severance if I don’t get to it tonight.
I think cricket match might be on tomorrow so I’ll try and catch that too.
At the moment I have no idea what groceries I want to get so that’s a bit of a bother.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 19 hours ago
Is it that you’re not sure what you’d like to cook for the next few days? Maybe get whatever’s on special and make up something out of it, that’s often fun.
This week’s Severence was really emotional and definitely moving some characters forward, I’d be keen to hear your thoughts.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 19 hours ago
Miniest needs new shoes. I need new work boots. Shopping whilst avoiding the heat. Tackling Mount Washmore. Not much I guess.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 19 hours ago
Tis a warm weekend and perfect for scaling that treacherous peak. I need to wash some woolens that have been sitting in my clothes basket from when I moved in…
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
I’ve got a busy weekend lined up, seeing some friends and also visiting the kusama exhibition and maybe someone’s birthday drinks. Along all the usual chores - lucky it will be good weather for drying laundry
just_kitten@aussie.zone 19 hours ago
Oh nice! A good social weekend can be really rewarding. I have a really quiet weekend and been feeling anti-people recently but also recognising I need to socialise a bit so that it doesn’t sink into total social dysfunction heh.

For those who care, Canada beat the USA in the 4 Nations hockey tournament, in overtime.
A great day for Canada, therefore the entire the Commonwealth and largely the world.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
I shall proudly wear my Canadian hockey cap, t-shirt and puffer vest this weekend. Seriously I have the collection. (Saved from the skip a few years ago). 🇨🇦
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
Thank you for your service. French crullers all around.
Nath@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
I sorta do and don’t. I didn’t know the event was on and this news doesn’t change my day in any way.
But if I were asked who I’d prefer to win in a(ny) sporting contest between Canada and USA, I’m picking Canada!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
It was kind of like an all-star tournament with USA, Canada, Finland and Sweden sending their best. It’s been a long time since professional hockey players competed in the Olympics, so this was a bit of a trial run before the next winter games.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
Mate i dont much care who beats them I’m happy to watch america get their asses kicked all the live long day. Always an added bonus if its the “snow aussies” (I recently heard them called that) take a win as well.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
The game was closer than I’d liked, and to be fair, the US team is absolutely stacked. Next Olympics are going to be fun as heck.

I’ve been to Whistler Blackcomb a couple of times. That’s really all I know of Canada.
So based on that limited experience, 6/5 Hobbits

It seems BoobToob still has a few hidden gems that haven’t been taken down. Watching them fast in case they get noticed

Looks like my good run on marketplace is at an end. Today’s buyer was a no show, and the person who made an offer on another item yesterday has ghosted. I knew it was too good to last!

We’ve had a break in at our office overnight! So far nothing appears stolen, but the office is crawling with cops blowing fingerprint dust everywhere.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
I think I saw a wattlebird today.
The bin for compost arrived today but the rotary tool to drill holes isn’t here yet. I wonder if I might not be biting off more than I can chew in terms of physical work. Ugh. I would much rather stay in bed with furbaby.
Also look out - Melbcat has been tasting tiny pieces of Marie biscuit and is actually eating them. Next she’ll be sipping my tea!

Well that was surprisingly not so difficult. REA was on leave and had no auto reply but when I called the agency they were very attentive, escalated to another PM who called me then got in touch with the owners and scheduled in a maintenance request all within 2 hours. Pumber called at lunch, they’ll come in on Monday. I guess it’s a good thing the next two days are gonna be hot so I won’t really need the hot water anyway!
Relieved it didn’t involve a whole lot of back and forth and procrastinating from the REA/dodgy edit.

One of the great things about getting into work early is there’s no one there to notice you got in 5 minutes late

Any Murderbot fans out there? Apple TV is releasing a show based on the books. Very excited but fascinated to see if it works - the books are great largely because of murderbot’s internal dialogue…
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I am very much over trying to move and photograph heavy things to sell. Especially because there is not much room to move them in. But I’ve been having a good run on Marketplace and hopefully these will all be cleared out and I can stop tripping over them. buying that antique post drill press seemed a much better idea when I didn’t realise how big and heavy it was! Getting it to the front door if I manage to sell it is going to be quite a workout.

I need to restock my snack tin.
I will be taking suggestions. Savoury or sweet are equally acceptable to me, but please bear in mind my snack tin is a pretty standard rectangular biscuit tin in terms of size.

I’m ready to leave work.
Hiding at the moment so I can leave a few mins early.

Severance spoiler
1 Feel so sorry for Irv. Betrayed by Burt! Is Burt not severed? Seems he was a Lumon employee even before severance, and even though his innie (maybe!) is is no longer working there he’s loyal and Lumon called in a favour to get Irv to go out so they could search Irvs house? 2 Helena is so evil. She revels in her power. 3 Reghabi is hiding something. Why is she so desperate to get Mark integrated fast even if it might kill him. She’s not trying to help Mark. She’s using him. 4 I still don’t know any more about the goats. WHEN WILL WE FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE GOATS.
