  Finally got around to rebuilding an ‘old’ mountain bike I built for an ex. I’ve been riding the unicorn bell bike and trike which both weigh a tonne and handle shockingly. I figured may as well use the heavier ones as you get more exercise in in less time and no one will pinch them.

  I forgot what it’s like to ride such a light bike. Weighs 8.5kg. Built it when the AUD was way way higher so ended up being a bargain for what it is ('bout $700, last service (!) for my other mtb years ago was $380).

  So that’s the ‘new’ goon / snack / beach transport machine. I am tempted to put the unicorn bell and basket on as theft prevention devices.

  But jeez riding it brings back memories which i think is why i left it so long. Happy it still works well and the salt air down here hasn’t fucked it too much.

    Yeah, I’ve been riding a tank around, it’s so nice switching to a light weight bike.

  • Grackle@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I feel like it might need some spokey dokes as well to really bring out the color of the unicorn bell.

  What’s everyone’s plans today? I’ll be attempting to clean my bathroom, give up halfway and go and read a book instead.

    Our plan was to go to a play centre but it was booked out, so we just went to the local shopping centre instead.

    The boys got to sit through the novelty of a grocery shop. Usually I’ll get things delivered or the MIL heads out for 3 hours by herself right before dinner time

    I’m not feeling too good so not much. I have someone coming over briefly but other than that it’s laundry and picking up the house

    Miniest has a cold. Porridge has been had, Temple Road Wellness Chai is brewing (she loves it and it helps). Pizza dough is proving (she is hungry and wants my homemade pizza). Elder is starting to complain of a headache 😞 Looks like I’m a cook and nurse today 👩🏼‍⚕️👩🏼‍🍳

    Visiting the kusama exhibition then thinking about the vacuuming (but probably not doing it)

  sad Geoffrey update 🐩🦮🐕‍🦺🐶🐾🐕

  He has hemangiosarcoma. So he probably has a few months before he’s gone. I can’t stop crying, and he’s not even gone yet. He won’t eat anything, except for treats. At least he’s eating the treats. Ahhhhhhhhh

  source

  • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’m sorry. Give him as many treats as he wants

    source
  • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Oh no. All the treats for Geoffrey. The Vet told me to buy my cat a rotisserie chicken when he was diagnosed with lung cancer. Eating anything at all matters more that it being ‘proper’ food

    source

    • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I will be getting him a rotisserie chicken for sure, thank you.

      source
  • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Poor thing :(

    All the treats for Geoffrey.

    Oh no. Lots of hugs for you and Geoffrey. The time together is too short.

    source
  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’m so sorry. Spend this time giving lots of hugs and treats.

  Am on PT and am having an old (wo)man shouts at cloud moment, but whyyyy do people listen to things on their phones without headphones? I don’t wanna hear it. I’d play death metal loud as revenge but that’s not fair on all the other passengers

  source

  • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    You’re not a grump.

    It’s fucking stupid. The saddest attention seeking behaviour.

    Fuck them.

    source

    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I have never found attention seekers to get positive attention. They just piss people off too much

      this whole noise on trains and trams thing reminds me of a woman at a bar I used to go to who would snap her fingers all the time. For no reason. Bugged the shit out me and probably other people too.

      source
  • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Because they’re assholes.

  • tone212_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Yep it’s so annoying, happened to me the other day on the train. Loud music and because it was so loud the person playing was screaming to talk to the person they were with.

    Also people having loud phone conversations for everyone to hear.

    And smelly foods being consumed in train.

    I remember the bliss of Japanese PT, no loud music, no talking, no phone convos, no food, the way it should be.

  I guess the rain is my fault. I put washing out this morning and am not home to collect it.

  I’m still so mightily upset at the brand new dishwasher being non functional that I’ve packed up all my dirty dishes, including the ones that were in the dw, and am going to take them to the office to wash in their dishwasher tonight on the way to the laundromat. I am THAT angry at the prospect of having to hand wash dishes again. I will be demanding answers on Monday and a refund asap if it isn’t a simple fix. I got this close to freedom and I will not have it taken away from me again.

  My husband is no tradie. Ask him about electronics and he’ll have you hooked up in no time. Ask him to put new hinges on a cupboard door and he has every tool known to man or woman spread out on the kitchen floor. It’s been 3 hours now. I know he’ll do a great job so I’m biting my tongue. Patience.

  The pumpkins are growing but slowly. The zucchini are covered in powdery mildew but one is gamely sending up male flowers again. More tomatoes are ripening. Not that much has been produced though.

  I might gather some twigs for the bottom of this compost bin. Reduce the chances of ending up with a smelly mess.

  Mr Woof is sad to yet again miss his afternoon walk. Reasons today: 50% too hot, 50% police helicopter hovering overhead and making me nervous. If it cools down another degree or two and the chopper goes away we might be able to head out a bit later.
