      Sorry it’s an awful joke. The implication is I’m the one doing all the cooking because MrsGod doesn’t touch a BBQ.

  I’m going on a picnic night- going to Macbeth in the Botanic Gardens with a friend. I haven’t picnicked in yonks.

  So I went to fish out my picnic basket this morning, and discovered that my favourite lifter/spatula thing, that’s been missing for YEARS, and which I’d given up on (assumed I must’ve left it somewhere) was in fact hiding in the picnic basket the whole time. This has absolutely made my day.

  I’ve also made a Blackberry & Bay Leaf cake that smells delish, and I get to see a lovely friend, so the play could be rubbish at this point but I’m giving the experience five stars.

  The exciting utensil in question

  Image It’s just so much better than any of the others I’ve found. Something about the balance and shape.

  Had to sit in the shower for a while and let the hot water run over. Pain and nausea suck. I have free time but can’t really do anything.

  I’m watching paint mixing videos to rest but having seen comments on different ones saying they were fake or edited I found myself watching critically. But it seems to be a legit art channel rather than the clickbaity asmr stuff and has minimal cuts so should be fine. The colours add up. Could be helpful

  Stupid internet making me suspicious of everything I see

  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?

  source

  • dumblederp@aussie.zone ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    That’s always a chance. Torrents or streamio has everything anyway.

    source
  • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨16⁩ ⁨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

    source

    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨15⁩ ⁨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

  I seem to have naturally woken up at 7:30 after emerging from some strange dream I don’t remember (and it took me a few minutes to work out which day of the week it was. Isn’t it amazing how much has to boot up in your brain before anything makes sense?)

  My phone was flat, so… I just got out of bed like a normal person and went to the shops across the road for some milk and random things. And now I’m ready for breakfast and the rest of the day. Rather than rolling out at 10am after spending forever on various dopamine hits.

  I think I really need to start forcing myself to sleep without my phone. It’s insane how much it can consume the start of the day and set the tone. I have a bedside clock and a Kindle, that should be enough…

  I’m not sure if it’s just me but I think Cole’s hasn’t been as generous with their fillings in their hot cross buns based on buying them last time.

  I usually get the apple and cinnamon and you usually get your hands sticky from just taking out of the bag and a nice punch of sweetness with how much apple sauce they used.

  Didn’t get that last time. :/

  I haven’t had to use my asthma puffer in a while but something about going from hot to cold for a week, now back to hot is setting it off. Same with my hayfever.

  Does anyone here listen to The Drums? I put on ‘Let’s Go Surfing’ before swimming lessons in the morning.

  I remember hearing around the time their first album came out they learnt how to play guitar because their music just wasn’t working with synths. Did they continue down the guitar path or did they go back to synths?

  source

  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    no idea but the surfing song is fun 🙂

    source
  • tone212_@aussie.zone ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yes I was a fan of this band. Check out their second album which I really like and is perfect for summer days (Portamento). Still very guitar based.

    source

    • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I’ll give it a listen. I’ve started getting other Drums songs recommended and I’ve been like, ‘nope, I’m sticking to the one sing I know.’ But I’ll branch out more

  Goddamn it not even one week and the dishwasher has a problem, tripped the circuit breaker early on in a cycle and now the control board thing is stuck, no matter how long I let it sit with no power to let it rest (30 minutes no dice). It turns on but won’t run. Submitted ticket but they won’t do shit on the weekend. Meanwhile I don’t have hot water because of the shower leak. ARGH!

  Just got back from shopping. Minipeelers were not happy about being rushed through the process to get home before it gets too hot. Had to be done because Miniest’s shoe broke at school yesterday, Elder’s shoes are getting too tight and my work boots have been falling apart on the insides for ages and I’ve been putting up with it because 🫰🏼💲💸Now to do laundry and flake for a bit and pretend to ignore the rest of the house work.

    Was it an orb weaver? We had a very stubborn one that kept building webs across the front path

    source

    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      It was too dark to see, but probably. Orb weavers regularly take down and rebuild their webs just to be extra tricky - I almost never run into them when I do a 4am walk, but a few hours later there seems to be more risk. With the notable exception of the time one built a web fully blocking the path which is the only exit from my property.

  Seems that YouTube has removed the mute button on mobile? I thought it was just the app but two browsers show the same.

  It’s not a great pairing with their obnoxious stock music.

  Jerks.

    I think it’s been like that for awhile now.

    I remember playing a YouTube video by accident and the sound went off super loud even though my phone was switched to silent, apparently it overrides it.

    I could only stop or turn the volume on my phone down manually.

      They seem to want to make their service so bad it’s unusable. I don’t know why because it’s not like it’s a paid feature?

      (It better not be because that’s ridiculous.)

  Back from shopping and settling down. It was a lot hotter inside than I thought.

  Why does Coles have to be on the other side of the shopping centre. Had to go back and forth because of cheaper beef mince that will be turned into burgers tonight pending my motivation.

  Aldi didn’t seem to have dim sims anymore so I went without and got some battered fish instead.

  Also picked up the Aldi snacks priced at 1.69 a box.

  Tried some, seasoning and flavour is a little subtle but very crunchy though.

  I know the regular shapes have been going down in quality with their seasoning too but I haven’t had those in ages.

  I think for the price point at Aldi it’s ok for what it is.
