I’ve been really enjoying green tea lately. I always loved it with yum cha but never had it on its own. Haven’t had coffee in a week and I can’t remember the last time I had a cappuccino. I think I’ve found my latest fad.

My latest fad is definitely phó. Having it for third breakfast this week now. Had it more times in the last two months than I think I have in the previous ten years combined

I’m gonna ask the hard question now. Do you use chopsticks or a fork?
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 3 months ago
McIvers sells a lovely Australian grown green tea, if you’re interested?
Plus some nice native herbal blends that include the green as a base
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Oooo. Yes I am interested. Thank you.

Funny that, I just had my first coffee in a week today.

Ah, it’s been a good long while since I’ve woken up to the dance of the UTI fairies at 2 in the morning. Urrrrgh. Definitely didn’t drink enough water the last two days.
Had a sachet of Ural but this doesn’t feel like one I can flush out myself so thank goodness a dr is available at my usual practice tomorrow. Urrrrrrrrrrgh

Terrible sleep but this morning is feeling kinda autumnal so it’s put me in a good mood. Trees are already becoming colourful too.

Duenan@aussie.zone 3 months ago
And in today’s episode of stupid things I’ve done today…
I went to wash the dishes after dinner, ran the water and poured the dishwashing detergent as usual.
I forgot to plug the sink in…
Yep, what a dumb thing I did once again.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve made a pot of tea, and forgot to put the tea in.
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Haven’t done that yet but have done making a coffee and only put the sugar in and forgot the coffee and filled it up with water.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I’ve read all the spoilers so it won’t be too shocking.
I’m going in, I’m going to watch severance …lol
just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Watching the latest episode of Severance right now and…
live ramblings, big spoilers
OMG SEXY YOUNG MARK OMG IT’S ADAM SCOTT IN FULL HOTNESS OMGGGGG 🥵 🥵🥵🥵🥵 GEMMA HAS AN OUTIE?!?!!!? WHAT IS THIS DENTIST TORTURE WHAAAAT DEVON IS SO KICKASS I LOVE PRE-SEVERANCE MARK SO MUCH 😭 HOW MANY LAYERS OF SEVERED WORKERS ARE THERE WTF I JUST WANT TO REITERATE: ADAM HOTT CAN ABSOLUTELY GET IT OH MY GOD IT’S REAL GEMMA WHO REMEMBERS MARK, OH FUCK OH FUCK WHAT THE FUCK HOW DID THE LUMON FERTILITY CENTRE GET INVOLVED WAIT WHAT IT’S THE FIGHTING CARD, THAT’S ACTUALLY - WHAAAAT HOW DEEP DOES THIS GOOOOOO ARE THERE MULTIPLE INNIES AND THEY’RE ALL BEING TORTURED OH JESUS WHAT NEW DEPTHS OF DEPRAVITY IS LUMON REACHING OH GOD THIS IS FAR MORE DARK AND DEPRESSING THAN I THOUGHT THIS REALLY PUTS A NEW SPIN ON EVERYTHING, I’M TERRIFIED, ALSO HOW ARE THERE ONLY 3 EPISODES LEFT AFTER THIS
The people who reviewed all ten episodes said that this and episode 4 were standouts of the season. Frankly this one is infinitely more impactful, this is like the intensity of the episode 3 ending except for like, the whole episode. I do think the whole show has just been turned around completely on its head… not so much the premise (that was beautifully and cruelly reinforced this episode which was great as I felt it was losing its way on that front), but certainly the machinations of exactly what the fuck is going on… Imma need to process this one

Big ep. Part way through I was thinking that maybe lumon was working on a cure for depression and the data packets the innies work on are the bad thoughts of their outties… But then that theory falls apart when you realise they’re going their for their working day so idk. Then cliffhanger Gemma has been kidnapped this whole time? Why? What are they doing with her in there. Ugh. No idea what is happening but it’s crazy
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Bruh I have to work til after 6 what a tease
just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Well that’s a bummer. Wiring is fried in a very weird way so no bueno getting dishwasher repaired 😞 have to wait for them to send the report to the manufacturer who will only then inform me if I get a replacement or refund. Which will be Tuesday at the earliest. At least I was lucky enough to get the tech in today… Looks like handwashing is on the cards for this weekend 😭
If I was handy with electronics at all I’d hope for a refund and then try to fix the electronics myself, but I barely have enough brain power to struggle through the days so I’ll just wait.
Plus side is today is Severance and The Pitt release day 🥳 And I have got my antibiotics after the dr was late by half an hour, and my laundry is all done. I might get some soup from the shops because I cbf cooking today. though kimchi fried rice is definitely on the cards for the weekend.
Sometimes it’s nice to be “officially” sick because that lets me finally relax my nervous system. That’s kinda sad too but anyway
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I agree with Taleya, should be up to the retailer with an instant refund or return no questions asked in this case.
I hope that you didn’t have to pay for someone to come out to look at the dishwasher.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Luckily no I didn’t pay. Though they certainly tried to list all kinds of conditions under which I would have to pay, I’m pretty sure this was a straight up defect.
I went directly to the manufacturer not via the retailer as it would’ve taken extra time and steps, and I figured I’d get a similar outcome anyway. I did call the retailer and they said they would’ve done the same thing as me (contact the manufacturer) except there would’ve been that extra layer of forms and waiting.
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Give 'em some pushback. If it’s a wiring fault, then your relationship is with the retailer, they sold you something that was defective. They can take it up with the manufacturer themselves and leave you out of it.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I’ll wait to see what they say after they get the report from the repair tech. You bet if they refuse a refund/replacement, or the replacement takes an ass amount of time, I’ll be kicking up a fuss. Kind of hoping for a refund so I can just buy something else off Appliances Online asap and have them take away this unit
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Friday! At my secondary work site.
All quiet here today for the moment, there are some big wigs here today so I’m going to try my best to stay out o their way though one is camped in the staff room, that’s going to be inconvenient for making coffee.
Hopefully not much to do today but at the same time there’s only so much I can do to keep myself occupied.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Update address databases. That’s a good makework/look busy go to. Has stood me in good stead over many many years. It always looks impressive if you start at the END of the alphabet - to casual inspection it looks like you’ve made a lot of progress. The tail end of the alphabet is usually the last one to be done so usually needs quite a lot of love too.
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Good call, actually forgot to do some maintenance on the database at some point.

Pilk@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Been watching Lattouf V ABC and surprised today how on the back foot the ABC is with their closing arguments. Lots of awkward, grasping answers given by their defence team to questions posed by the judge.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 months ago
There’s a concurrent scandal at the BBC , they used officials and family of officials in interviews while pretending they were everyday people and also faked translations to make the interviewee more acceptable and to lie about events and motivations for actions.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 3 months ago
I’m generally a big ABC fan, but I’m appalled both that this happened, and that they’ve spent so much public money trying to defend something that’s clearly indefensible.

Finished the two hardcore antibiotics and the tooth still hurts, but I’m told that they don’t want to give me more and even the closer appt found is 2 weeks away. Great. I just hope it isn’t an infection and/or doesn’t spread.
Could someone do me a favour and slam the door please? 🦷🪢🚪
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Have you tried the university dental hospital,?
Generally they’re quick on accepting patients , just make it out it be an emergency.
All the best. Tooth pain is shite and you deserve better.
Good luck friend.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 months ago
Thanks, I’ll definitely consider that if things worsen.
