  I have some awesome gnochi from an Italian restaurant to sink my sore mouth into, some cheesecake, and a fluffy cat to annoy.

  Everyone in the block of flats next door have moved out (was sold, probably end up being townhouses), last dude to leave who has early onset dementia came and said goodbye which was a bit sad. Really nice guy and can’t imagine the move for him is gonna be easy.

  Other place next door on the other side (with a bunch of noisy kids which is all good) have moved out cause they’re about to do renos.

  Completely neighbourless, and the lack of noise reminds me of locky lockdowns which to be honest isn’t the worst thing.

  Which brings us the rave choon

  I think I could get used to this

    Good idea.

    Hope it goes ok for you.

    How’s your headache from the other day going?

    Neck and shoulder tightness and strains also cause me to get headaches, especially if I’ve been hunched over at a desk and it bunches up all my muscles together.

    I think they’re called tension headaches?

    source

    • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Thanks mate :) Headache is subsided, doing exercises to try to stop it happening in the first place.

      I get the same thing from sitting at a desk. Ergonomics is really, really important.

      I call them migraines because I’m pretty much paralysed; can’t get up, can’t move, can’t eat, feel like throwing up from the pain.

      Stretch your shoulders everyone!!! lol

  The spinach recalls because of E. Coli remind me of when I got salmonella from spinach in the early 2010s. My ex and I were so so sick, dying on the couch watching TV together, when the news started talking about it - that’s how we found out what we had and why we were sick 😂

  It’s the only time I’ve ever had salmonella.

  0/10 do not recommend.

    @StudChud @YarraByte I had a problem with chick peas once. Actually, it was either the chick peas or red wine I drank.

    When presented with this choice, it had to be chick peas, so they've not passed my lips since.

    I got poisoned by a piece of salmon. It was instant. First time I’ve ever walked into a doctor’s clinic with a bucket. A few people were seen to that day who had purchased the salmon at the same place. And yes, I still eat salmon.

  much quieter here, last place had 5 neighbouring houses doing renos, one is a major demolition, the other uses jack hammers

  and no aggressive junkies here, no porch pirates so far, had a package sit on my porch all day, was still there

  and last thing I saw in my street in Carlton, first time I saw a homeless lady pushing a shopping trolley with her belongings, I went up to her and gave her a 20, she spoke in a middle class accent

  I do understand living in the suburbs ( which I haven’t done in 35 years ) means that even if I don’t see social problems that doesn’t mean the problem has gone away 😔

  Apparently I had a deprived childhood. I have never made or worn an Easter bonnet or hat. I thought it was an odd new thing, but friends of the same vintage and similar geography tell me this had been happening for many decades, I’ve just somehow completely missed it. Huh.

    They were usually made in art class with cardboard, coloured paper and pipe cleaners. Then everyone paraded theirs around at a type of assembly while the Easter bunny visited your classroom dropping an egg off on your desk.

      That would have been fun. The few years at school we did them it was a chore given to parents, and then the children of the most creative/involved parents were given awards and made to feel special.

  Eleven days until my 33rd birthday. When COVID started, I was 27 turning 28. My 30th happened during one of the lockdowns.

  I’ve gone through 4 or 5 different calls centre jobs since 2019.

  Now I’m studying animal care, with the plan to do either a Cert IV in Vet Nursing, or a Diploma of Animal Tech.

  I spent only one year with my partner before COVID started. We’ve been together 6 six in Jan just gone.

  It feels so long and no time at all. So much has changed.

  I am grateful how I have managed to change my trajectory on a personal scale.

  It’s gonna be okay, eventually, and I hold enough hope about that for those who can’t be hopeful.

  I am eternally grateful for this community, a home made of code and human souls sharing their lives and advice. You’ve been amazing to me, even though I’ve been less than stellar at times.

  Sending you all my love and good vibes! 💜💜💜

  Among my recent purchases is a pair of canvas high tops. Because why the fuck not.

  The process of stretching them slightly to get the fit just right - they ARE the right size, but feel just a smidge too small at the heels - is ongoing. I have stuffed…about four pairs of bundled up socks in these sneakers?

  I thought the denizens of this shithole had finally left the bird water alone… Nope. Same tweaker came back yesterday and stole the metal pet bowl I was using to weigh the foil pan down.

  Threw the water out of the bowl the same aggressive way before taking off with it so I have no idea why he keeps stealing them.

  He’s always around here being a dickhead. I wish stolen items could carry a curse.

  I went out and checked the yellow sticky traps. They got a few but the whiteflies were mostly clustered underneath the leaves and the traps had caught multiple long legged flies… aka the beneficial insects that eat the aphids. Plus one tiny katydid. They might have got a weird kind of ladybird yesterday (which I freed).

  Not happy Jan. I’ve taken them down and won’t be using them anymore.

  It was an aph-ocalypse under there on the worst plant so I ended up using a strong solution of natural dish soap to douse and scrub wherever they were. It ended up leaving a thin wet lather of detergent behind which might harm the plants and encourage mildew (already an issue) but is hopefully insecticidal. Fingers crossed it doesn’t affect the good bugs.

  Melbcat wasn’t impressed that I was out there for ages while she had to stay inside, so she’s off in her bed. It’s a shame. She could have sat with me or sunbathed. But I need her to accept being a fully indoor kitty and not expect to be let out.

  My gum near the problem tooth is looking red and sore so I think there’s a problem again. Hopefully only a minor infection from a floss nick but I’ll have to get that sorted between everything else going on.
