That’s good.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 months ago
All 4 have safely exited the capsule and are being accessed on the ship.

Another of my former clients is leaving.
$120k revenue a month lol
Love watching this place burn to the ground.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 months ago
are the bailing cause the new account manager is useless? or cause you stepped down? Or just the overall shit level of service?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Because I stepped down and the new account manager couldn’t manage a lemonade stand lol
This is fucking glorious!

Ooooo spoiled for choice!
I think I like the bottom pic more: the smoothness of the water leading up to the wave and that perfect break at the top 😙👌🏼

You are gonna love it!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I think so too.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Ah, very familiar landscape for me. I think I mentioned I grew up near there? I wanted to spend much more time there but my folks couldn’t swim and were afraid of the water lol
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
it would take a lot of effort to get into trouble
bogged in the mud flats perhaps or in deep water off the pier
but there are always people around, always
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 months ago
That looks great!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
It’s a wide coastal park all the way to Williamstown. 🙂
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Beautiful! Is that a bike path?
dumblederp@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Feel free to fucking cool change anytime now. The dogs giving me evils.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Well well. Guess who I found sitting on my seat at home? She never does that.
Unless… She actually missed me? lol
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Your chair smells like your butt, a highly aromatic area 😂 cats love that smell!

Not mine, you could eat off of mine. People often do.

Made chunky bolognaise in the Thermomix we inherited from my dad and it fucking rocked. Wasn’t sure about the worcestershire sauce and the chilli flakes, but went with it - very glad I did.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Worcestershire sauce is a hidden gem and should be more widely used imo.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 months ago
yep, i’ll back this. same goes for Vegemite strangely.
dumblederp@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I’m in the middle of an instant pot chicken chilli.

Good night everybody. 😘

My kid did a little tidy up in my kitchen yesterday. The kettle was unplugged, the frying pan was put in the cupboard where it doesn’t belong, green teabags mixed in with English breakfast and I don’t know where the sweet potato went that was on the bench.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 2 months ago
It’s the thought that counts.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Yeah. Just wished she cleaned her room than rearranging my already tidy kitchen.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 2 months ago
green teabags mixed in with English breakfast In the insurance world this is known as a “total loss”
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 months ago
It was a shock when I made a cuppa and it was pale as so I looked at the tag and it was not English breakfast.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 months ago
The hot air balloons are out again this morning. Now it makes me think they’re up to something
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Obviously that’s how criminals are casing houses these days. Anything out of the ordinary is someone casing your house.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 months ago
They’ve figured out how to get around the Ring doorbells and Swann wifi security systems. What do I buy to protect my home from the balloons?
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 months ago
It’s an interesting idea you’re floating. Sounds like a basket case.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Today was a weird day. Whenever I leave the house, I ask myself if I’ve forgotten anything material or just my sanity. Today I said just my sanity, but I felt off about that.
I was almost at the bus stop when I realised I forgot my earbuds. Not a necessity, but I wasn’t going to spend half an hour walking home and back to the bus stop to get my earbuds, and miss the bus. They are not super frequent, and sometimes they arrive at the stop a few minutes early. So I got some cheap wired ones, and realised that was a waste of money. Should’ve just looked out the window.
I must bring a notebook to write in when commuting.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
It’s good to switch off sometimes. No ear buds. Let your mind wander, it’s very healing.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
It’s so quiet in the new suburb. 🙂
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 months ago
gave five guys another go today. Second time for them and holy shit the bacon is so bloody good! Took a lacteeze so I could get that sweet sweet plastic cheese as well. Thats what I was missing the first time. Incredible! 30 something bucks for the bacon cheeseburger, small chips and a coke though. a rare treat then.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
A short break from packing. I’m off to the new house , will take pics of the beach. 🙂 laters 😘
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I definitely listed my coffee grinder too low when I put it on Marketplace (leading to a huge number of responses). I put it on eBay late afternoon yesterday for more than twice that amount and it has sold already. I guess those things hold their value more than other small appliances. And I almost took it to the op shop instead of bothering to list it!
SituationCake@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Lots of rain forecast for tomorrow. I’m looking forward to it.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Just came back from a walk around the park. The crickets are very LOUD. My ears are ringing a bit.
bacon@aussie.zone 2 months ago
sky pretty
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 months ago
excitedly planning out purchases for the van. We threw away/donated tons of stuff and are basically starting again (plus I don’t wanna carry heavy glass and china that looks pretty breakable) and we have tons of our own camping gear we can just put in the van but now I’m just filling the gaps. I can finally justify bringing a kettle and toaster. I still love camping in my swag, and I’ll still do it from time to time. But camping with power (until I can get a basic offgrid system) its going to be very very nice!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Getting up when it’s still dark, but not too cold is one of life’s great pleasures. Seeing the sun rise illuminate the parklands. Seeing people walking, jogging and riding their bikes first thing. And of course seeing rubbish strewn (yes STREWN) all over the court because the rubbish truck driver could not be bothered to stop and clean it up.
Not my bin thankfully, but it’s been cleaned up, council notified and note left for neighbour that their bin hasn’t been emptied.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Augh. I am not feeling good. Really dehydrated and been sleeping all day because I couldn’t get up. Spent it sipping ginger ale between naps.
Went out and did the bare minimum for garden. Water, then some eco oil and fungicide spray on the pumpkins. They’re getting bigger but aphids found them and there’s also powdery mildew and whiteflies starting.
I found a ladybug on the dying zucchini and thought to move it over to prey on the aphids but wasn’t sure if the sprays would harm it.
I trimmed my hair last night. I seem to be getting worse at it, but oh well. Tried a new way then gave up and did the usual. It looks acceptable and is back to a more manageable length.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I meant to set up my uni stuff last night. Ended up having a 2 hr phone call from a friend in distress… Every cell of my being is happier that I used the time to help a friend when nobody else could’ve (it was a very specific situation)
But I ended up only finishing data prep at 1pm today. It’s now too late for me to collect data today. I have “wasted” the one last suitable day (clear sunny skies) in quite a while and I may not be able to hit my Absolute Latest Deadline of collecting all the data by the end of the month :/
I’ve accepted that I made my choices (esp slacking on the weekend, which would’ve avoided this whole situation)… and tbh I had such poor sleep and other issues that frankly I really need the rest more than anything else.
Now to just desperately hope there’s just a couple more sunny midday periods before the end of the month 😖 🙏🏽
Accuweather and BoM have wildly different forecasts for next Monday in the northern suburbs. Please let Saturday and Monday be sunny enough, pleaaaase
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Sky pretty. Birds not awake yet. 🙂
dumblederp@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I’ve been watching Peaky Blinders because I never have. It’s not as good as I expected it to be. Feels a bit generic olde London town crimey. It’s not bad and it’s well acted but I’m don’t see what all the fuss was about.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Australia Post decided not to leave my parcel and to make me go to the post office instead. How rude.

Finally on the work WiFi in this service black hole. Trying to do anything on my phone here has been hell otherwise.
I’ve been able to get by through ROMS and downloaded podcasts

Was super deeply asleep when alarm went off. Heart rate went rapid and disorientation hit. I hate waking up like that. Argh.
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Ah two practical assessments submitted and one quiz passed. Quite a bit left to do, but I have over 2 weeks until the due date for them, so I’ll be fine. I’m planning on submitting the rest tomorrow/over the weekend, so I have a couple of weeks to review and change anything if the teachers ask me to.
I feel damn good lol
