Can I take the little dark tabby floof at the back home with me?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I will happily pick them up for you. This Fluffball rubs up against my legs.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
look at all those fluffy tails 😻
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
They seem healthy, but I was supposed to trap them so they can be deflead and deworned but work has gotten in the way.

Homeward bound. 20 mins until my train back to Melbourne. Had a great time and met my good friend’s friends. He hired a company that makes fire cooked pizza, they drive in with a trailer of two wood fired pizza ovens and supplies, and kept us fed with fresh pizza for hours. Quite buzzed and glad I didn’t stay longer or I’d be toast

Got to do some grocery shopping for the weekend, tackle Mt Washmore and very little else. I’ve got lunch planned for tomorrow; there’s pumpkin, spinach and ricotta lasagna with roast vegetables and a couple of schnitzels for the kids. Looking forward to it!

Biscoff is not good enough to merit a collab with literally every food brand in existence. They must be spending an absolute fortune.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I’m not sure what you’re saying here. If you combine Biscoff with a spoon, something magical happens…
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Biscoff is in Big spoons pocket is what he’s saying
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Biscoff spread, omg yes. Biscoff on biscoff for biscoff’s sake… IDK.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Right! Like Aperol a couple of summers ago. Why is it everywhere?!
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 months ago
The first few times I tasted it I loved it, but I got sick of it pretty quickly. I’ve got a half used jar I bought for something I made that’s probably due to be chucked out.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Just wanna say you’re cool as hell!

Biscoff is the poor man’s speculaas!

Looks like Bazza is installing on the old work laptop now. Bitlocker was getting in the way so I used command prompt to reformat the drive.
I had to use Windows to destroy the Windows.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Oh how poetic
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 months ago
It’s going to take a bit more work, but at least I have a massive partition of spyware out of the way for the moment

Waffle fries are the superior potato shape and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.

Helped aunt out with what turned out to be some rather disastrous painting of some old cabinetry with wall paint and wall tiles with metal paint. I am not good at this but it was fun helping out and tidying out some insanely messy areas. The place looks so different now, absolutely not suitable for old people but I’ll be sad to see it go and not get to visit them there. Anyway I’m properly pooped. Psyched to get some house chores smashed tomorrow though

I just want to introduce the newest member of my family.
A deformed lemon.
I’m calling it Sharlene or Nasum.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 months ago

lol. yep bert it is!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I have an errand to run which will get me back home hopefully by 2pm latest then it’s gaaaaaaaames all day and guitar all night.
Had an awesome little jam yesterday. When I haven’t played for a few days it kinda builds up which is cool.
Enjoy the sunshine ☀️

My friend is going to Perth today, and I’m going to Waurn Ponds and back. Our travel times will be about the same

Finally home.
Shopping is done.
All cats have assorted treats and food (so does the human)
Snacks have been organised.
Now comes the zonk!
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 2 months ago
First time on the Geelong/Warrnambool train line, it’s pretty
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Except for the dumped rubbish and burnt out cars.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 2 months ago
It’s atmosphere

I might happen to be in possession of a kilo of permesan
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Haha I considered that carefully but was strong and walked away!
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I must arise. Late morning marketing and some sunshine strolling is called for
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
yes, sunshine good 🌞

Tooth tmi, swearing
It’s the 4 or 5 day mark… try to get away with carefully nibbling a biscuit on the good side - I got away with it yesterday. Today a chunk immediately migrates to the wrong side and bruises the rim of the healing socket 😱 I’ve rinsed with saltwater and there doesn’t seem to be significant damage, touch wood. But that could have been a total disaster and still could cause issues especially with the risk of infection hovering. I can’t believe I let my guard down after being so careful. So stupid. You can’t get away with a damn thing here. Can’t trust shit. Fuck you biscuits (and self)

Should I ask how it got in the tree to start with?
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 months ago
My question too lol.
dumblederp@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I didn’t have a clothes line as a kid so we’d drape washed wet clothes over trees n bushes n whatnot.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 months ago
There’s a vestigial vet appointment for Melbcat today that I have to decide whether I’m going to keep. I’ll ring and ask.
spoiler
I might give it up for someone on the cancellation list because she’s just been and I’m mainly waiting to hear whether I can start giving antibiotics. I have some here. She needed extra pain relief last night so if results aren’t back soon I’ll probably just start what I have whether they say so or not. From the distinctive smell it possibly is one of those resistant nasty strains that usually do need the enro. I already had to delay her with pain relief through Tuesday while I had my tooth pulled. She was seen Wednesday but I had the dr myself Thursday and was only able to get a sample that night, which left me taking the sample in Friday… If that guy had just done the cysto on Wednesday the results would be in sooner.
I tidied a bit yesterday and did one load of laundry but there’s more to go then I have to wash the cups and sweep. Melbcat was sick in the wee hours this morning so I’ll soak that with enzyme cleaner.
My box of antibiotics with a few pills left has racked off into the ether so I’m just going to start the newest box. These are three times daily -_-
Between being careful of my sus tooth socket (which better not be getting infected) and my stomach function starting to shut down again I can barely eat anything. My mental health is crumbling.
I’ve woken up tired.
Bee butt
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Sending care and strength thoughts in your direction Melbs. May it go smoothly and may Melbcat respond quickly to the antibiotics and may you get some repreive soon.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Thanks. Hopefully this is just a rough patch!

fucken hell, incident on werribee line, very tall muscular arsehole threatens to kill the muslims in the carriage
people crowd around the muslims in carriage to protect
at the next stop I got off and called emergency line, cops and train driver informed within 1 minute
i’m not scared, just angry
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 months ago
That’s freaking terrifying. I hate that festering pustules like this can have so much power. Hope he gets put away for a good while
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
will he?
I imagine he will say he said and did nothing serious
would witnesses come forward?
maybe there are cameras in carriages
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 2 months ago
You did exactly the right thing (brother is a train driver). There are protocols for dealing with such arseholes, and he’s in a world of hurt right now. The railways take that sort of behaviour very seriously - not just the vilification laws apply here. Remember the emergency button next to each door - it’s there for this purpose.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I looked for the button, could not find it it
to actually yell in a public place, in a train carriage where people are captive, that he is going to kill , to rattle his bag, to say he had heavy objects in his bag, **that was some very very serious shit **
he told us who he was
he told us who he hates
he gave his justification, ie people who are against him deserve to die
he rattled his weapons
he told us what he was going to do

Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Omg that’s horrible 😞
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I am both 🤬😭
makes me so sad that people were threatened and were scared
also makes me ashamed, Australia is where people come to be safe
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Cowards.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 months ago
If that dude happens to be fucked up on meth I could be a 5-time Australian MMA champion and I’d give him a w i d e berth.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I’m so sorry you and the others in the carriage had to go through that, what an awful situation. You did so good to call for help and I love to hear that others helped. What a shitty, shitty thing for that man to do. Look after yourself tonight, you are such an amazing person.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
there was a young kid who got off at the same station as me, he was a witness in the same carriage but at the other end and he helped with details for the cops. He was a little shook up.
I’ve been wondering if I over reacted but the targets of this guy’s threats were terrified. It was real. 😐
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Jesus, I’m glad you’re ok.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 months ago
That’s so scummy. I hope he goes to jail, repeats that to a large group of the people he’s racist towards, and enjoys his reward…
It really sucks that I wouldn’t be able to do much to physically protect anyone in that situation
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
this is the other reason i did not do it
just trying to keep it low key
yup
