Two breatho stops already in less than two hours. The second one in Milawa was absolutely massive. At least 25 coppers.

That’s why people should be on the eccies and coke - leaves the system way quicker than weed or alcohol 😉
dumblederp@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Eccies will show up on a swab test - Methylenedioxymethamphetamine. Actual coke should be fine.

just drive safe
easter used to be a car accident deaths nightmare
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Passed a couple of accidents heading out east 😞 mostly bingles though at least
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I got one this morning 200m from home!
Catfish@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Bickies for everyone! Total fail on the fancy print, but you can’t taste those anyway.
Duenan@aussie.zone 7 months ago
🤤
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Yumm! I’ll have one of those, and one of those and one of those …
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 months ago
those look delicious
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Yum!

4 DAY WEEKEND!!!
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Did anyone else take a look at the sky and wonder if Sunday’s promised rain was going to arrive a bit early? Rain on Sunday now at 90% chance.
tone212_@aussie.zone 7 months ago
There were some ominous looking clouds before but it’s cleared up. My garden needs a drink bad.
The cool chant is so nice though, go away unseasonable warmth.
Duenan@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Went outside for a bit and was please try surprised by how cool it had gotten.
Eagle@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Sorry, I washed my car today.
Catfish@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Digging noises next door. Power goes out. Silence…
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 7 months ago
lol, I was going to dig a hole to try and find a leak today next to some pipes, but realised getting anyone in to fix my very likely fuck up… decided against it.
Catfish@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Dial before you dig! Power back, it was just a coincidence? But still.

Eating so quickly they’re blurry :)
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 months ago
aw, they are such sweeties
Have you been able to pet one yet?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 7 months ago
They’re close enough to pet, but I’m being good lol
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Wow they’re growing so fast!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 months ago
old nightmares are hppening😫
SituationCake@aussie.zone 7 months ago
So sorry. Hopefully the great weather and beach gives some positive energy.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Fingers crossed for a peaceful sleep tonight!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 months ago
it’s quiet
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Nice isn’t it?
just_kitten@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Why do I have to be up so early on a public holiday. I mean, I did go to sleep very early too but I was angling for a nice long sleep-in… especially because of the very sexy dreams I just woke up from :(
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I’ve been taking advantage of the windy hot weather to tackle Mt Washmore. I’ve also just made a Bolognese. What else did I do today? Oh yeah I learnt to play Ludo, which turns out to be Miniest’s favourite game. I can see why, I have to admit I kinda of liked it. I’ll have to have another match this evening after dinner.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 7 months ago
We are playing scrabble 🙂
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I love scrabble
I play fierce to win
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Scrabble frustrates me. I consider myself to be an articulate person with a reasonable vocabulary, but I routinely fail dismally where Scrabble is concerned 🤔
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I am also attempting to scale Mt. Washmore.
Life admin piles up so badly -_-
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 7 months ago
It never stops! Shakes fist

I’ve done sweet FA today
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Same. And I fucking love it.
Time for some hot cross buns.
Duenan@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I’m chilling with a glass of wine with the footy on.
Catfish@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Congratulations!!!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Same, aside from starting Animal Kingdom (the tv series)
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Same. Watched TV, played some video games, takeaway fish and chips, bit of green medicine, shower and now watching telly.
Gonna turn in early for no reason in particular
tone212_@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Cleaned out the garage, no sign of dead rodent. I’m guessing it’s somewhere above the ceiling and below the roof and the smell is coming through. So just have to wait it out. Kinda concerning, I hope this isn’t a start of a bigger problem. On the bright side, garage is now clean and tidy!

I’m 99% sure the 24/7 Gozleme/Kebab place is open today, and I’m tempted to go and grab some baklavas

Do itttttttt
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 7 months ago
It has been confirmed - I didn’t get the preferred house. After looking at the alternatives available and thinking a bit more about options the house I’ve been approved for is growing on me. I think my uncertainty about it comes from two things:
-
I’m filling in the gaps that I can’t see with worst case scenarios instead of what’s likely, and extrapolating a few things into problems that are unlikely. Particularly concern about overgrown trees - where I am now I have a small garden with trees in the neighbouring yards that grow over and block most of my useable garden space. In this house there are big trees, but they are already mature and there is space for a vegie garden between them. They are also deciduous trees, so I should get lovely shade in summer, light in winter and lots of leaf mulch for the garden.
-
The layout of the house means some changes to how I set up my rooms, I can’t just mentally swap the rooms I have now into the new house. But when I sit down and think about how to work with the different layout it should work pretty well. I might end up changing the layout from winter to summer - it has a great dining/lounge room with a north facing bay window that will be amazing in summer, and a south facing lounge that should be much cooler in summer. Being migratory depending on weather seems a good option.
One big upside is that it is in the lower end of my budgeted rent range. I should also be able to do a dog door for Mr Woof - there is a window to floor level in the main bedroom which opens onto the back garden, I should be able to get a door put into that and replace it with normal glass when I leave. Doing that with a small window should not be much more than a good quality sliding door insert would be.
The biggest unanswered question: where to put Miss Meow’s litter trays. Do they need to be at ground level, or are cat’s happy to jump up on a bench for that? I’ll have to do some research, I could put a cover over the bath (which I don’t use) and put the trays on there.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 7 months ago
It’s so hard to know, right? For me, if it “feels” like it could be a happy space when I am in it - that counts for a lot. And light - sounds like you have that. And air flow (though my current place has windows only on one side and I cope). Deciduous trees sound nice. Is there a dishwasher or a double sink? That’s handy. Is it clean and look in good repair? Can you secure the doors/windows well? I have found you can live with things if it’s basically ok.
You could ask for a second viewing too. Just to confirm it’s gonna be ok. Good luck.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 7 months ago
A double sink, but unfortunately no dishwasher. The windows are the wind out type that are not great for airflow, but it has evaporative cooling, which should be great as long as it is not humid, and hopefully my portable aircon will be enough to get me through humid spells.
I’ve got a viewing booked on Thursday so will be able to make a final decision then.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 7 months ago
This is the way.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 7 months ago
That’s a shame. I hope the one you get turns out to be good, seeing it might clear up those mystery corners 🤞
(Ps sorry I was so hard on the kitchen)
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I think I’ve come up with reasonable options for pretty much all the likely unknown scenarios, so as long as there is nothing completely out of left field like mushrooms growing on the walls or a gaping hole in the floor I think it will be ok. I’ve even worked out where Miss Meow’s stuff will fit.

7/10 haven’t been following golf or politics and it shows
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Thank you rain. I absolutely wanted you to appear when I was walking around in a singlet

Tuna casserole on a hot day seems wrong.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 7 months ago
This is even worse. Trying to follow guides to pause syncing of OneDrive and nothing is as the guide said. So I poked around more and I now have the choice of pausing it for up to 24 hours or unlinking it completely.
At this point I feel like Microsoft is expensive spyware but I don’t have the energy to jump through all the hoops to control it or make the switch 😔
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 months ago
brain/motivation stuck so I made a list
am going thru list mindlessly 👍
Catfish@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Not sure I actually like milk anymore. Tongue just feels sticky and odd.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I still haven’t been able to get the donations down but packed them into boxes. I’m hoping to shift those next week and get some space back. Melbcat got stressed out by the activity so I stopped and we’re doing phone in bed. Cuddles are required to relax.
One load of washing is done and I’m doing another. Then there’ll be another basket of folding to do on top of the one already there 😑 The chances aren’t great today.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Boyo and I dipping our toes into ESO.

Come on night time. There’s music to make.
Duenan@aussie.zone 7 months ago
I treated myself yesterday to a red Shiraz, a cheapie from Aldi, I think it was about 4 bucks.
Had a glass or two last night, surprisingly it was pretty tasty and no sharp pang afterwards, my preference is a smooth red usually.
For 4 or 5 bucks a bottle it turned out better than I thought.
