A random cat is in my back yard and the local birds are all panicking. Rather unusual coat pattern.

The first time a friend said she had a “two faced” cat freaked me out.

Give the kitty a pat!

My daughter helped a relo out with his banking because he freaked out a bit. She says to me “Mum, he doesn’t know how banking works but he knows how to get on Tinder”. I couldn’t stop laughing. 😂

I was chatting to someone the other day and they go “i’m no good with computers!” and I was like “huh. looks like you got an iphone there champ” and they go “oh yeah I can use an iphone just fine”. Ok so its not that your no good with computers its that you dont want to be.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 week ago
The thing with computers is if you don’t use them all the time then you forgot how to do shit.
I can show you how to do a crochet stitch and a week later ask you to do it again and you’d probably fail. Repetition is what’s needed to remember stuff.
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Eh, there are levels. Once upon an Mac+ i’d play with ResEdit. Not touching whatever the equivalent is now, too big a jump.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 week ago
well, banking is made to be difficult so you don’t lose your money
merchant banking is made to be as easy possible so you will spend your money

The batch of hot sauce I reluctantly made abt this time last year didn’t survive the move - developed an undeniable layer of grey vicious mould. I will learn next time…

Don’t you love when you have a banh mi place that every time you get one you’re just, like, “this is the best banh mi I’ve ever had”? Also love when you’re eating a banh mi and you get that moment when you’re staring down a chilli thinking it won’t be so bad but also know it’s going to punch your mouth up in the most delicious of ways?
I’m a happy girl.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Yes but lately I’ve been making my own. That way I can put as much coriander and crackle as I like without asking.
My latest (made with roast pork. Not belly)
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 week ago
put as much coriander
Yuss!
Don’t listen to the people with the genetic coriander soap thing it’s their loss.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 week ago
That looks absolutely delicious!! And yes, excellent points about being able to do your own unhinged ratios with no judgement.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I’ve never had one of these before.
Apparently there’s a place in Bentleigh that seems to review well that makes these.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 1 week ago
There’s a banh mi place near work that’s good. I’ve only ever had the tofu version, but I should swing by in the morning and have the breakfast banh mi because even the tofu tastes great
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 week ago
This sounds like an excellent idea, enjoy your breakky banh mi!!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I wasn’t going to buy my lunch tomorrow, but banh mi 🥲🥲
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Wore heels for the first time in many forevers yesterday. Now have a confused mix of toes that ache and ones I can’t feel properly. Hope this isn’t cause for actual concern.
Wake was a very fine send off indeed. Don’t think the cafe staff knew what hit them.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I wore stupidly high heels to my wedding many years ago and could not feel a couple of my toes for weeks. Feeling eventually returned and I still have all my toes, so I guess that means it’s ok?
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 week ago
These probably don’t even count as heels to many. I’ve never been a spike person, but being out of practice on even such low things seems to matter now.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Cheers for the advice on the second hand backpack. Got a bellroy classic in near new nick for 85 bucks, normally 220. No shame in jumping in at that price point.
dumblederp@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Second hand, the carbon cost has already been paid by the original purchaser.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 1 week ago
With the RRP of those Bellorys they should be good. Look after it and it should last a long time
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 week ago
yeah your deffo paying for a brand. I’ve got mates with them and they love them. but these are also mates who love B&O products when I’m just running around with a pair of cheapo bose and an old base iphone.
I like nice stuff, but I’m not paying for NICE stuff if you know what I mean.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Noooooo. Was meant to dump my bags by the door and head back out to buy groceries but somehow managed to lock myself out even though this unit door doesn’t actually self-lock… actually idk how it worked because normally you can only lock it from the inside after the door is shut, and you can only lock it from the outside with a key…
Anyway, thank fuck my friend who lives down the road and has my spare keys is on his way back from a site out east, and crucially, has NOT yet left for a 4 day work trip to Halls Gap.
Sitting in the shopping centre across the road staying warm and enjoying supermarket dolmades. It’s tempting to buy a bag of chips but I really have a protein craving more than anything else.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Hey Kitten.
Hope you’re ok.
Did you manage to get back into your unit?
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Yeah my friend rocked up half an hour ago thank goodness. It turns out it is possible to lock the door from the inside and then close it :|
Will be making extra copies of keys to put under doormat and in office…

boss yeah I’m gonna send ya a couple servers to configure. me: aight.
boss: I need them done by tomorrow
me: doable, but you’re building an 8tb stripe, that alone is gonna take about five hours jsyk.
boss: also I have just realised you go on leave next week so I want everything possible done right now. Even things that can wait. Even things that aren’t anywhere near being implemented.
boss: I am going to send you every email under the conceivable fucking sun and demand you answer them instead of building my servers.
boss: I’m also gonna let a client scream at you about something I did
boss: and I’m gonna ask you if you’ve done something that I explicitly said I’d do three weeks ago
boss: and then I’m gonna send you another couple servers.
boss: I want these ready to ship to client tomorrow.TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 1 week ago
also I have just realised you go on leave next week
So he’s going on leave next week too.

You’ve got beach now. Pop on a bikini and mosey on down for a swim. 😊

Have discovered it is possible to spend silly amounts of money on screen doors.
Then went to the plant nursery. Ouch, and did not buy the life size cheetah statue.

The cats are booked in the resort for Easter Holiday. The rates are unholy over this time period.

finally got my black puffer
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Decided to clean out the bottom shelf of the pantry - we rarely use it.
Guess where the little flies were coming from 😭💀 never leaving tea in there ever, EVER AGAIN.
Cleaned out now and sprayed in there, and wiped down the front so the cat doesn’t get sick.
I’m HORRIFIED, everything has been chucked.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 week ago
The last paragraph 😂
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I just had to add that disclaimer, I do NOT live in filth! 😂
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 1 week ago
One time there was this awful smell in the kitchen that I just couldn’t find the source of. Searched everywhere, cleaned everything, still stinky. Thought maybe a rat had died under floor it was so bad. It turned out to be a rotten potato at the back of the potato rack. Looked fine on top but was mush underneath. The smell was unholy, and it took months to get the residual smell out of the cupboard.
Taleya@aussie.zone 1 week ago
christ I love it when customers try and throw their dick around “Raaar none of our other suppliers needed this data” like they fucking know what they’re doing.
You don’t sound big mate. You sound like an absolute cock who has no idea what the fuck he’s talking about. Sit the fuck down.

Thought I was having a good day till I discovered my id tag fell out of the holder on a lanyard.
I might have to foot the bill to replace it :(
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I am starting to feel a little overwhelmed regarding unpacking and setting up
just so much stuff to organise
so I watched tv.
a real weepy too but I loved every minute of the show
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 week ago
There’s no hurry. As long as everything is safely out of the old place and you have the essentials it’s fine to take it slow and settle in
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 week ago
One of my new favorite cooking techniques is to brown the chicken thigh first before slow cooking (as discovered doing the apricot chicken a few weeks back). Trying it with Japanese curry tonight. Recipe I read said 6 hours on low, but you wouldn’t do the apple/potato/carrot that long would you? I was thinking 3-4 hours max.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Back at work after having most of last week off due to family. Spent my time getting ready considering what I could cut back on/do differently in order to reduce life costs if I just happened to trip and quit, issa a vibe!

Woohoo I love early work shifts. Heading home at four instead of 730 feels like I’m getting out of prison years before I’m supposed to
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I’m still so fricking nauseous 🤢 Surely after 4 days I’d feel better.
Melbcat is sooky too so I should probably get her checked out again.
The pumpkins are getting chunkier and more yellow. The golden nuggets are probably going to die before setting anything - the smallest slowest plant probably will. But I’m hoping that even if not ripe enough to eat, the jack be littles might at least get big enough for a nice photo piled in a dish.

Little vid from yesterday from the pt. lonsdale lighthouse overlooking the pier / Rip. Shitty phone cam so excuse that (can mute it it’s just wind / white noise). But it was wild.
I went on the pier and a biggish wave hit, made a fair few people freak out lol. Pier moved pretty violently so most of us got out of there pretty quickly.
On the way back surfers were rushing in with a smile on their faces a day after 18 ppl got swept out. Different breed.

Printer has ink, everything sorted, still being massively obstructive. I guess HP stands for Hot (steaming) Poop
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Why does everything pile up so fast?
Paid for the iron infusion over the phone. Telehealth. Trying to line up an appointment with another dental specialist. Will finish wrapping soap so the stuff is ready to go. Then I need to print and fill out a form for something else.
Then I will have to do a tiny bit on the twin peaks. Mount Washmore and Mount Dishmore.
Melbcat is acting fussy still so I tried to sort a vet appointment out but times and days have changed and I forget who’s available to help when… I really should have addressed this earlier today but I’m not my best. Still queasy with a splitting headache.
I’ve given her a quarter dose in food to top her up until tonight’s dose and will either sort an appointment or try to get a urine sample tomorrow.

I’ve been thinking about the concept of ‘Coworker music’ ever since I watched a video on it. The idea is generic or bad music that coworkers listen to, never yourself of course.
I’ll have music on at work and ask myself, ‘Could this be considered coworker music?’ I have a specific taste in music so I don’t think it falls into generic coworker music, but when you get into subcategories of ‘a type of guy’ my music definitely falls into a ‘type of coworker’ subgenre.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Definitely getting more used to the early wake up.
Have a great day everyone :)

Got the phone back! I tried it this morning and it was on the move through Heidelberg. I thought it’s obviously still on the bus! I tracked it through the suburbs until it was near my place and went out to the bus stop, caught that bus and found it wedged down between the seat and the wall! It was so exciting! Hey, I’m a middle aged mum, it’s the most exciting thing I’ve done all year! The bus driver was kind enough to wait at the stop for me to search for it as well. Wonder how often they clean the buses tho…
