RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 days ago
🐟🎂🎉
Miss Meow wishes her fellow Void a very happy birthday, and would like to express interest in a share of the treats.
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 days ago
She is most welcome to the box nomming party 📦🎊

Miniest’s non birthday party today. She wanted a get together with her besties rather than a full on party. So we’re hoping to snag a spot at the local “good” park (we live closest to the “shit” park) and I’m providing plenty of cold drinks and snacks. Got to make brownies and do some quick shopping. Off I go!
Eagle@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Beautiful day for a park party. Have fun!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Here’s to snagging a spot at the good park 🤞
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Have a great time. 💖
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Looks like the perfect day for it!
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 days ago
What a gorgeous day for it, good look snagging a spot and have a blast!

I have just learned that all the HBO shows have left Binge. HBO has launched their own streaming service. The fragmentation of the market is ridiculous. People are just gonna give up and go back to the seas.
DolphinLundgrin@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Yarrrrr 🏴☠️
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Your local library may be able to give you access to some of it for free. Kanopy is a library streaming service with some fascinating curation
tone212_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
What? That was the main reason for having Binge.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Happy Easter 🍺

Now I’ve got 99 Luftballons stuck in my head, even though there’s only one balloon. God I’m an idiot 😂

forgot to post how good the potato wedges were! the cheese sauce wasnt my best, but the bolognese sauce was amazing with them as was the simple sweet chili and sour cream. Gonna get back into the “snacks for dinner” to save a bit of cash and cause the kid loves 'em!
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Loaded baked potatoes would be even cheaper. Get the washed kind, microwave them skin on, then load them up and bake to get everything hot and crispy/melted
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Oh man, I forgot about potatoes again and clothes peg again 🤦♂️

Anybody have the “board game stash cupboard” ? I counted around 30 board games and card games and half dozen puzzles. I think my favourites are Settlers of Catan and Risk, but the one game that everyone comes back to is UNO for some reason.
I think it’s more fun in a large group gathering that’s more casual.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 days ago
The new UNO game has draw 10 and other weird cards in it. Great for big gatherings.
We have a lot of quiz games and classics.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I haven’t heard of this one. Will have to check it out.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 days ago
UNO Flip is one of my favourite card games, it’s so chaotic. Got any games good for 2 players that you can reccommend?
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Actually UNO is kind of unbeatable, like nothing I have played compares to it really.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Gin Rummy! There’s so many versions of it.
tone212_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
UNO is a classic. Never gets boring. Cards against humanity gets pulled out a fair bit at friend game gatherings as well.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 2 days ago
We have cards against but it loses its lustre when you get used to the card combinations so the replay value goes right down.
For our UNO games, cheating is kind of encouraged, so some of the fun is trying to catch someone out.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Yeeeess. Just the classics - chess, backgammon, cribbage, mahjong and ordinary cards. Oh, and Squatter (inherited from siblings - dates back to the 1970s). Zillions of jigsaws as I like doing these and have good lighting over the jigsaw table so can be done after dark.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 days ago
We’ve got lots of games like various Uno ones, Throw Throw Avocado, Throw Throw Burrito, Exploding Kittens, What Do You Meme, the hit each other with fake swords one and stuff like that. I like good old fashioned monopoly but nobody else is interested. There’s a heap I haven’t looked at in ages, I probably should.
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Totally! And I have an accidental duplicate set of Exploding Kittens to gift some day.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
yup, we have a board game and puzzle cupboard
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I only 2 board games so I don’t think it really counts.l
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Flu vax acquired. The nurse this year was the most efficient ever, I was leaving almost before I arrived. Lollipop was also aquired.

All I can say is fuck moving bluestone, feeling it today. Stupid volcanos.
Heading down the bellarine today for the break. Gonna start building a pizza oven out of the heaps of sandstone down there. I have no idea what I’m doing but it seems like a good idea.

4 DAY WEEKEND LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I have approval for the rental place I’m less fond of. Haven’t heard anything from the one that looks 100%. And I still haven’t seen either of them in person.
The one I really like is currently vacant, so I’m presuming if they were liking my application they’d be moving fairly quickly on it, so not hearing anything is not a good sign. The inspection for the other one is booked on Thursday, so there is still some time for divine intervention.
But at the moment it’s looking like it will be mostly about just how deceptive the 7 year old photos are in relation to the current condition of the property, and what’s in the mysterious corner that none of the photos show. The other place I can piece together all the photos and the plan to get a great overview, this one has a few missing sections that my brain is imagining terrible possibilities for. Especially in regards to the door through the laundry, which in this place would be the most used entrance. If it’s a dodgy set of steps or something it’s going to be a hard no. I suspect it’s just not in the photos because it is utilitarian but not pretty, so that will probably be ok. But I need to work out how I’m going to manage Mr Woof’s access, which can be tricky with no sliding door to put an insert in.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 days ago
. Going to have to clean it out over long weekend and find the source. Couldn’t see any animal poop on the ground. What else could it be?
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Is everyone’s fire insurance paid up? Cos at work we’ve had TWO burned out trucks in our back alley so far today. One was a furniture mover’s truck (this morning) and now the fire alarm went off cos the next door block of flats had a small truck with a burning engine stuck in the garage door. Alarm was stupid loud too - had to finish up phone calls cos neither one of us could hear the other over the noise. Boss now gone down to bound and plunge and lose his temper. Not that that will accomplish much.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Aw, I forgot to bring my bunny ears to work. I even put them on this morning and then put them back down. Considering I’m wearing slight extra zany makeup to go with them, I continue to look like the weirdo of the office… but at least I’m (very) sparkly!
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Party is over and I bought way too much food and soft drink, but it won’t go to waste around here I guess. Miniest’s friends are all funny and nice little girls with nice mums, but I didn’t get a chance to talk to them much.
