I did fried potato chips last night.
I woke up late and slept in this morning.
I blame the potato.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Potato is innocent of all charges
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
I approve of this plan.

Potatoes are so yesterday

Potat is timeless

Potat & cheese yes! Baked beans⊠not unless itâs a Crabbe special

Weâll see what she says and hopefully she wonât look at the time I sent the email đ

Good to be back down the bellarine for a bit.
Main water leak down here fixed⊠but⊠rocked up to another leak in the shower lol. Fixed that then the laundry sink taps decided theyâd join the party.
Fixed now but honestly water wins. I concede.

My head is an awful place today, so I got an ice cream. Not sure how that was going to help, but it was delicious.
Duenan@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Being delicious = a win.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
It wasnât the ice cream I wanted (Magnum Ego), but it was a Connoisseur vanilla caramel brownie, so certainly a close runner up!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
It might not have helped but it didnât not help either.
Iâm sure your day got slightly brighter after the ice cream.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
It did and had a nice interaction with buying it! Makes a difference.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Few days off so heading down the bellarine.
Last few months has caught up w/ me so looking forward to some mindless garden things. Oxalis will be going off so will attack that (and lose). Sometimes in life itâs easy to feel defeated, oxalis is there to remind us all that no, you will not win them all. The great leveller.

watch me dig up the soil and sift for the little bulbs

âhmm yes my tea should be ready nowâ go over and pick up an empty mug with just a teabag and air in it sitting next to the boiled kettle âYou idiot!â
Taleya@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Best use for my apple watch, no lie. I put the water on the tea and say âten minutesâ to the watch and it reminds me and I no longer have cold, oversteeped tea.
also useful for reminding me to check random tasks.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Thanks for reminding me my breakfast porrige is still soaking and I havenât cooked it yetâŠ

Local Colesworth had all sorts of cheesecakes reduced to clear⊠lemon curd, french style, triple berries, caramel biscuit crumb and passionfruit pavlova dessert. I bought one of each and my greedy ass regrets nothing đ€€ Happy early motherâs day fat ass đ€Ł
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Thanks for the heads up. I fucking love cheesecake.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Itâs just about my favourite thing! Iâd be hard pressed to choose between cheesecake and tiramisu. I adore them both.
Eagle@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Calcium intake is important as we age, as is fruit. Add the base and youâve got three food groups covered so itâs all part of a balanced diet m!
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
I like the cut of your jib, Eagle. Itâs that kind of can-do attitude that makes
my waistlinethis country great!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Migraine. Just in time for me caring more about myself than work.
Took the day off.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
take care, be gentle on yourself đ

I have ordered a frankly stupid size of schnitzel

Saw a really bad car accident on my way home.
It happened on Hotham street close to the Nepean highway end.
A suv on its side all smashed up badly, I think someone was trapped inside.
Ambos only just got there as I passed by it, police and 2 fire trucks were on the way there.
Hope whoever is was is ok and didnât get Injured by the accident.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
It was that kind of day. Saw three close calls just waiting to turn left out of work. Hope they are ok
SituationCake@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Woke up too early because neck sore. Because slept with head on a funny angle now I canât get back to sleep and Iâll probably have a headache all day.
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Really craving salmon right now⊠urgh. Almost done with s4 of Animal Kingdom, Iâm really glad that a certain character is gone. Couldnât stand the acting. This is solidly a network show with some inconsistent characterisation but still remains entertaining. I still want J to kill everybody in the end though.

Thatâs it Iâm buying some to treat myself tonight. and Iâll have it with baby spinach and baby lemon. and maybe baby potatoes. and baby fat and baby oil

hits delivery man with a stick WHAR PAKIGE
I need them parts to put in the overflow diverter for my tanksies! So I can overflow them into other tanksies! And then pump that into a huge tanksie! Except when I donât want to, then it all goes to stormwater
RustyRaven@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
My pakige has been taken to the post office. This is possibly an indication that my front porch was already full, so I am prepared for getting in the front door to be a bit of a challenge again tonight.
Hopefully your overflow diverter is not diverted and you can overflow at will shortly.
Taleya@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
oh the irony, my diverter package hath not arrived and your package hath been diverted
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Fucking silverware. I hate cleaning it but it looks pretty in my kitchen.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
This rain looks pretty cool from a high-rise

weather from high rise is awesome

Removalist is booked. I got the quote online and just spoke to them on the phone for the first time. Lady I spoke to seemed very nice which is I think a good sign.
StudChud@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Noice!
You donât have to answer ofc but which removalist did you use?
Iâve only ever used Man with a Van (when I moved from Epping to the CBD, and again from CBD to Brunswick), prior moves were done with family help.
I found man with a van to be pretty easy, they were really cool and gave me a lift in the cab when I moved from Epping to the CBD as I donât drive, so I could let them in at the destination haha
RustyRaven@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
A place called Kevin Removalists. Their quote was middle of the range, they were not a pain in the butt to deal with, and their reviews were mostly positive. I went with 3 movers instead of 2 so I can get it over and done with as soon as possible.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
âŠMargeâŠ?!
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Question for the parents or any teachers/child cares in the group: Tinyest turned 2 last month and had his MCH nurse appointment. they asked us to think about school.
Sketchy maths and schooling questions
Since he will be 5 in April 2028 he could start school then. if so weâd want to do 3 year old and 4 year old kinder starting next year. But we can delay him, start in '29 instead, just because he would be VERY young. Not sure whats âbestâ here. If school is 13 years (assuming no repeats) if he starts in '28 heâd be 18 when he is in year 12? Or in '29 heâd be 19 in year 12, therefore 18 in year 11⊠Lots of responsibility in the decision making here (especially for someone who still thinks a goat says âbaaaâ). And I just dont think Iâve got enough data to make an informed choice.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Um, better to be older for his class age than younger. Speaking as a family, me and my siblings were ALL at least 1 year âyoungâ for our classes as we started schooling in England at age 4 and went into classes based on our academic level when we arrived in Oz. My older brother was about 2 years younger than his class, and struggled mightily all his school life. Academically was just fine, but the social life difficulty was immense and ongoing. Also, boys usually mature a bit slower than girls so this was an added burden. So, given a choice, pick older rather than younger imo.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Iâm not qualified to speak (no kids) but yeah apparently this is an actual thing called âredshirtingâ
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
When heâs completed 4 year old kinder they will let you know if heâs ready for school and usually the kids are especially child care kids.
All schools are zoned so depending on what zone your house is, they must except him. Itâs not necessarily the closest but usually it is.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
I canât give any advice but heâll be very popular being 18 in year 11.
StudChud@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Not a parent, but I was born in April, and turned 18 in year 12 in 2010. So the vast majority of year 12 I was legally an adult. If anything, it was fun being one of the oldest in the class haha. A lot of people in my year didnât turn 18 until after graduation though, some not until early 2011, so they were 17 for all of year 12.
I wouldnât want to be 19 in year 12, personally, just because it would look like I was held back at some point đ
dumblederp@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
I turned 18 in April of 1st year uni which was a bit shit.
Duenan@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
Finally cooked stir fry Hokies noodles and washed up. Now eating.
Have dinner for at least 2 or 3 more days of meals all sorted.
Pars, ham, onions, random assorted sauces and noodles = yum yum
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
My parents were saying they took a mystery flight interstate back in the day. They ended up in Sydney, but still, it seems like they lived quite a bit back in the day. My mum hasnât been outside of Victoria in over ten years and says sheâs used to having no holidays. I wish I could surprise them with a holiday.

Reminds me of when my grandmother visited Ireland for the last time, she knew it would be the last time due to age. She lived another 15 years.

Today I bought a few vintage LPs, first time in months, also an Iggy Pop greatest hits cd. Nothing odd, just some classical music.

Just witnessed what is - to me - a new ticket inspector tactic. Three of them got on in the free tram zone, didnât do anything for a few stops outside the free tram zone, then at a stop where a fair few people were getting off - they also got off, and used their bodies to block the exit of the tram stop, physically preventing some people who were trying to get past, to check their tickets.

Too frazzled and flustered to get my promised salmon. I canât handle any more changes of environment after psych session. I feel sensitive to every possible thing that could go wrong. I found a fix to something I urgently need to do at work. Now Iâm stuck in a BSOD boot loop⊠Joy⊠the error message is CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED which sounds somewhat apt.

STRONG recommend sipping a coffee by the beach and staring off into the distance. very therapeutic.
