    I’m reading The Burrow at the moment. It’s excellent but also set during Melbourne lockdown. I think there’s enough distance now for it to not take me right back there emotionally, and it’s not the focus of the book, but it’s a bit weird. Reliving the easing restrictions and density limits and all that shit.

    It also makes me want a pet rabbit.

      I don’t think I COULD read a book with that setting. In a city I didn’t know it might be different, but not Melbourne

        Neither could I. Still too soon, too close. Would need to be 10 years from the end of lockdowns imo

    Cat tree is on board for delivery. Let’s hope this time it’s not a couch.

      It could be a box of gold bricks, a mouse trap, 18 thousand dehydrated spinach packets…

        Gold bricks would be good. If it’s 18 thousand dehydrated spinach packets I may not be able to fit in the door, but I could possibly resell for a profit. Trying to get it to the post office for a return would be difficult.

    Really craving salmon right now… urgh. Almost done with s4 of Animal Kingdom, I’m really glad that a certain character is gone. Couldn’t 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.

    Water from the laundry tap vs kitchen tap. Hmmm…

      The water at my place gets discoloured if it sits in the pipes too long, which is most noticeable in the kitchen because it is furthest away from the connection. The pipes probably all need to be replaced, so I just make sure I run the water for a while before I use it for drinking or cooking.

        We have PVC pipes, and realised it was the attachment on the tap that was making the water dirty!

        source
    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Yeah, I have the same issue (shower tap is the worst). Old pipes be old. I have to remember to run it for a while before using - luckily water is included in rent at my current place!

    A mystery bag delivery has yielded assorted teas, a drill, condiments and seasonings, and a lil ukulele.

    Matches and aeroguard too, so now I wonder whether that Elon mural is still up and how much damage I could do with those two items 🤔

  • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Getting in the door was back to easy mode again today - package delivery was just two footstools. I now have two fluffy pink footstools to rest my feet on. They may be a touch small for Miss Meow to use as a cat bed, but I expect her to trial them out at some point anyway.

    I’ve been playing around with work’s Marketing automation and it is so nice to use. So much better than Marketing Cloud. I can’t wait to get in there properly.

    I may be able to convince the head office team to switch the CMS to drupal too. That combination would be dream working conditions for me, it would be crazy smooth workflow

    Can anyone in the baking world enlighten me as to what these are before I throw them out. Something to do with cake making/decorating.

      As per Rusty Raven below. The thread on the nail bit is so it can be inserted into a foam block or chunk of bread/tumber filled with crunched newspaper to hold it securely until the icing sets.

    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Looks like a piping nail - you use a piping bag to make a flower or something on it, then can transfer it once set to the cake. You hold the nail bit so you can turn it as you pipe.

        I had to watch a YT because I could not imagine how it worked lol, but now it makes total sense, thank you!
