I left the house to go out at 10pm for late drinks with some friends, this is unheard of these days. The non-inviters I posted about a few months back have invited me out after seeing me at a birthday today, thought I better take up the offer. Plus it’s so hot tonight, sleep isn’t happening anytime soon.
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 hours ago
That is so weird but also, some friends are kinda like that. Like, months and months of feeling like you’re being excluded and they don’t like you or are saying shit, and nek minit it’s like nothing happened and they’re friendly and nice.
Keep your suss meter up, but also enjoy being social with them. It may be superficial or temporary, but it’s still a good thing for you to get out there and connect with other humans!
10pm is wild tho! Like that’s some early 20s raver timing lol

I just went out and was like “do hot days just smell like fires now?”
No, there is a grass fire in Donnybrook and a northerly wind bringing the smell down.
Goddamn. I have to restrain myself from being like ClImAtE cHaNgE!! Everytime now

Both the bird waters ran dry because I haven’t had the energy to go out there -_- I need to set like a weekly reminder to check it.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 9 hours ago

Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 hours ago
I know, melbs is such a good person but she beats herself up that she’s not perfect. ( yes, Imma talkin’ bout you! )

Spent three and hours on the beach this morning - feeling properly tired now! Love that feeling!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 hours ago
Cool. 🙂 The beach definitely invigorates the soul while tiring the body. It’s a good feeling.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 12 hours ago
Zonk.
That is all.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 11 hours ago
That’s a great alignment of special occasions
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 9 hours ago
New big journal has been attained and a note book too. 🙂 This will be an art diary where i write all my ideas, write what I do, and what I need to do. Practice, learning, everything. Just everything to do with art. 🙂

melbaboutown@aussie.zone 7 hours ago
I want to share some channels I found with full movies but does that raise the chance that they will be noticed and taken down?
dumblederp@aussie.zone 6 hours ago
That’s always a chance. Torrents or streamio has everything anyway.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 5 hours ago
Maybe just channel names and no links. Sometimes YouTube lets it happen as there’s free versions of things with millions of views just sitting there
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 hours ago
Fair enough, the channels do seem to have been up for years.
I’ve been going through TheArchiveMovies, and another one called ThrillGore
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 8 hours ago
Back from Canberra. Very interesting place to visit. Not a lot of traffic.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 14 hours ago
I’m back.
It was a very nice house and the area is quiet and very safe. People have garden decorations in their front yards! That stuff would get stolen in a day here. 5 minute walk to the beach . 🙂
only 3 other people were looking and one of them left very quickly, so 2 other people 🤞
Now I’m off to to typo to get some big diaries and the chem to get lip balm. I have burnt lips 🥺

I haven’t been out looking at houses for sale in about 30 years. Back then it was primarily newspaper listings of open house times with minimal details and no pictures. The whole process has changed a lot since then.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 11 hours ago
Marketplace sales back on track today - two boxes of tools gone (and I was able to fit them in my garden cart to move them to the front of the house without killing myself). A few legit seeming offers on another item. But no interest on the stupidly heavy hunk of iron drill press so far.
In other good news I have realised I still have two hard rubbish pickups available to me, and get another two next financial year. So stuff I can’t sell/give away I can still get rid of fairly easily. Operation clean-up-before-I-move as going very well.
dumblederp@aussie.zone 6 hours ago
I had someone come by this morning. Large sale item + small car = no sale. :(
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 hours ago
I’m glad the postal sale worked out. That’s one of the typical ways scammers try get people, so it’s good they were genuine
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 hours ago
There is always still a risk they will try to claim a package didn’t arrive and get PayPal to refund, but with postage tracking it would be unlikely to be successful. The scammers generally try to push you into some dodgy or new payment system and then bamboozle you with fake emails, refunds and paying money to “release funds”. They generally sound so ridiculous I am amazed people fall for them, but obviously lots of people do.
Overall I think the majority of people are pretty honest, but unfortunately the dodgy people have a disproportionate impact because they are playing a “numbers game” and contact a lot of people. The majority of the poor experiences when buying and selling are more the result of poor communication and mismatched expectations. I think that’s one of the things that was good when eBay was the main selling system - they managed the whole process and made sure everything ran in a consistent and orderly way. Dispirate individuals trying to work everything out is like herding cats and ends up with a lot of chaos and some people getting scratched even if no one actually starts out intending to do harm.
Anyway, thank you for coming to my TED talk, I think I spend far too much time thinking about such things!

I dug a hole :)
For the rain gauge post.
I’m very proud of myself.
70cm, so was paranoid was gonna hit a pipe as it’s close to the tank / pump.
Interesting thing was seeing the soil horizons. They were textbook all there.
And once again the cheapo manual auger is useful.

Bad news: it drowned in my cup of tea.

Saturday. Laundry done and out on line - nearly ready to take in again. Shopping still to do. Will indulge in a banh mi from my local bakery on the way home. On second thoughts, shopping can be tomorrow. Banh mi is a must though. They’ve recently added a roasted mushroom one to their line up. It’s yummmmmm.
On another note, this hot weather has magically removed 5 kilos of weight from my person.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 13 hours ago
Our wall of east facing windows gives a lovely view but on days like today it’s like having a full wall radiator on full blast. I closed the blinds so I’m no longer being broiled alive, but unfortunately that also means that instead of a nice view over the Dandenongs all I can see outside is passing traffic.
bacon@aussie.zone 1 hour ago
wait wdym there’s no cool change tonight
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 hour ago
Was out for dinner tonight and was so disappointed when we exited the restaurant at about 10:30pm. It was still so hot outside. 30C at 11pm still!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 hour ago
Nah dawg. Tomorrow evening.
Stay strong until then.
