    It’s been a big week. I’m tired but I’m ok, I’ll rest tomorrow. Plus man and kid picked up her new car today so it’s a celebration 🎉. Good news is, with a little rearranging both cars will fit in the garage because her’s is a matchbox.

    Cheers everyone 🍺 and 'ave a good weekend.

      has she done a defensive driving course, they’re pretty good for learning to swerve and brake, you might be able to get away with something similar out your way.

    Gutters started overflowing. Thankfully it was the release valve near the tank and not anything else (just cleaned the bloody things a week and a bit ago).

    But golly gosh when I hear water gushing I get completely paranoid now after all the water woes over the last few years.

      Gushing water scares me more than the power going out.

        power outage meas safety mechanism stopped the worst.

        Gushing water is months to years of fucking drama and mould paranoia

    Op went well but dang, keeping on top of the eyedrops and meds for the next week and doing a lot of cleaning and bending down etc for my mum is quite a bit of work. Between that and getting on top of work and uni it looks like I’ll have a lot on my plate

    TAB has a Coalition majority at 17 to 1. Seriously thinking of chucking 10 bucks on it so at least I could buy myself an expensive bottle of scotch to drown my sorrows if they win

      I wonder if you can place bets on the new pope. I’d chuck a tenner on an outsider for the win.

    I’ve done a load of washing and cleaned the bathroom. Soon I’ll make some guac and a Bolognese sauce but I’m being really lazy about it lol.

    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Doing a load of washing right now, woke up pretty late so I won’t be able to get it out for another 30 mins.

      I did bolognese sauce last night, as long as it works it’s all good!

      After washing I’ll warm up a lasagna and get ready for the Anzac Day footy match.

    Hilarious scenes here. Kid has now learnt why spending 5 hours in her new car with radio, lights and windows down is too much for a little battery. Also why Mummy has windy windows. Daddy is now charging the battery to atleast wind the windows up in case it rains. Kid has now killed Daddy’s buzz.

    I really do try not to be judgy. But there are people out there actually making an active choice to have margarine on their toast. It’s not better for you and it tastes like spreadable plastic.

        The olive oil based stuff is still way better than marge. Have some Nuttelex.

      Marge is a good starter spread for kids cos unlike butter it does rip holes or roll off the bread.

      source

        I guess kids don’t know any better. But spreadable butter is a thing.

      Only 8 car spots. Amateurs.

      But honestly if you had a heap of coin to do it up, that place would be great. i’d call dibs on the pool room and turn it into a studio. Outdoor undercover area could be turned into something amazing.

      source
      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I think it’s got great potential - I’d definitely consider buying something like that to do up, but as a rental where you are stuck with it as is I’m much less enthusiastic. I also assume that as the property was only just bought that the landlord would be planning to kick you out in a fairly short timeframe to do some sort of renovation, it’s definitely not something you’d buy to hold as a long term rental.

    • TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Given the extensive shedding, I think this would be PERFECT for a car collector or similar. Or someone with a horsefloat and a caravan and a boat and a few zillion motorcycles to store undercover.

    Ran into Pauline Hanson this morning. She’s aged, which I suppose stands to reason. I just hadn’t considered that she’s 70, now. She’s clearly dying her hair bright red these days. I hope she does that for herself and not from some unspoken need to fit a certain look for women in politics. Men are allowed to age and go grey. Parliament is not Hollywood.

    Nice juicy storm over Trentham right now and heading our way, so maybe the washing machine magic has sorta kinda worked. Most of my washing is pretty much dry and easily tumble dried from here on so happy about that.

  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    sanded the outdoor table a bit and have applied the last coat of paint

    after it’s dry will tidy the balcony 🙂

    off to the shops after lunch to get some things for fixing up the vintage bedroom suite 🙂🙂

    Poured myself a nice glass of mineral water over ice.

    Took a nice big gulp…and it’s Tonic water.
