    Had outing to Bunnings and Officeworks today 💸 Both Minipeelers like drawing, especially Miniest, and it was time for some new textas and sketchpads and stuff. Needed some plumbing supplies and I bought myself a hanging fern for the bathroom. I really love it, it adds so much life to the room and looks really cool. Somehow I managed to fit in a book, The Community by Christine Gregory. More crime lol, this time set in a small Australian country town. I was lucky in that this one was a real page turner, and the characters were diverse and interesting and kind of familiar.

    I thumbtacked it to see how it looks before I start building rails.

    I reckon it looks nice. This house is devoid of decoration so it’s nice to have something up.

        This place isn’t the nicest man, and I’m here a lot. It Defs needed some colour.

        I’ve got a bunch of other canvas prints as well I’m going to put up. It adds a bit of life to this place.

    Good gig last night. Speaker rig was one of the more impressive ones I’ve heard for DnB, pretty much custom built for the genre. Pretty rare to hear it that loud with clarity which was nice.

    Shitload of security though. Probably a legal requirement, but there were security dudes standing on boxes in each corner just watching the d-floor. Not really the sort of music that attracts trouble but I guess it’d make a few people feel safer.

    Got home at about 1:30am to hambam sitting at the front door waiting for me with sad eyes :( Felt bad so cooked him up some mince to make it up to him.

      Such a glorious beast! I think DnB has a bad reputation. Or maybe they were expecting something else? IDK.

    Hello! Been a little while since I posted, I was o/s for a couple of weeks. Got back yesterday and slowly adjusting to normal life again.

    Woke up before sunrise as I was in bed by 9pm last night, completely totalled from the flight home (got the row behind the loud & crying toddler, lucky me). Have been tackling some life / business admin and washing this morning. Then will go for a walk to bask in the winter sunshine and need to fill my very empty fridge with food.

    Pantry is cleaned and scrubbed and rearranged. I did not actually find much evidence of pantry moths larvae so it’s all still a bit of a mystery. But I threw out some old stuff and some stuff that might’ve been eaten a bit. Luckily most things are already in jars. It’s neat and clean now though. Time for a shower and dinner.

        Good melbcat. I am hoping this was just a freak incursion in something I bought recently. I really needed the push to do a clean out so that’s good

    Updating my diary and playing with stickers and coloured pens while playing music. Good way to spend a Sunday night. Bought some packs of random Mofusand stickers and I absolutely love them.

    Alright! Downstairs are fine to start paying for my car parks they’re using (I have two car parks, and have been letting my downstairs neighbour use them for free for ~2 years).

    But if/when I get a job, I’ll lower or cancel the payment altogether.

    But at least if things take a little time, my rent increase will be covered lol

      • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        It’s a bit of a relief tbh! They were very thankful for the time they got it for free, which I think helped breaking the news lol, and payment won’t start until August, so there’s time. 😅

        I’m thankful the rent increase isn’t awful! I’m quite lucky to have a REA that is real nice and chill - nicest RE I’ve ever dealt with!

    My useless talent is being able to listen to a song, in pretty much any language, and be able to sing along to the chorus after a few listens. It always shocks my partner, which pleases me.

    What’s your useless talent? Discuss.

    Bonus question: what’s your favourite non-English language song?

      I’m good at knots. It has very little real-world application. But if you need to lash sticks together to make dodgy camping furniture, or to make a long rope shorter without cutting it, hit me up.

      Neunundneunzig Luftballoons is a banger.

      source
      • useless_modern_god@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        I love knots also! The best thing about them isn’t learning how to do them, but figuring out what the right knot for the occasion is.

      In my weeaboo days I used to love listening to Japanese language music. Somehow a hook / chorus in pop music transcends understanding the language. It actually helped me learn some Japanese.

    It looks like the mountain trails near my place might be feasible. I could take the new bike up those trails, cut out some annoying intersections, and hopefully save some time as well.

    Either way, the council is working on a park and connecting those trails officially right now, so later in the year there will be this nice public space and more ways to get around

    This dog cracks me up. Yesterday, I saw him lower his arse down on the remote control which was sitting on the floor, it lights up and changed the channel. No paws were used.

    Today he tried to barge into the YL’s room (he stands on his hind legs and pushes) but it’s shut properly so he slid down sideways clawing at it as he goes down. Repeat.

    had a good sleep in

    early lunch done

    then off the beach

    then finish painting

    do a few loads washing

    cook a big amount of dinner for the week, it will be garam masala spiced burgers

    and the usual amount of daily organising and cleaning

    That leaves the rest of the week mostly open for reading and studying 😊

      Beach walk

      Lunch of fresh bruschetta mix

      Now to find where those little pantry moths are hiding and eliminate them.

    I’ve been thinking it’s just a couple more boxes needed for about four boxes now, and the kitchen cupboards still aren’t empty 😭

    And once I finish the kitchen I still have a laundry cupboard, the bedroom and some shed/garden stuff to do. I think I underestimated how much physical effort this takes. When I was younger and fitter I could have got this done a lot quicker.

    Oh yeah, I still have to do a final clean of the fridge and freezer too.

    source
    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      It’s always more boxes than you think. I really was almost furious at myself the way I kept going and going and going when I moved out of my last place. How TF did I accumulate so much shit in just 4 years?! I ended up having to cull more than I thought, and it was all hurried and anxiety-inducing.

    I’ve spent way too long over the past couple days looking up the curious case of an orange oily substance coming out of my uh, rear end recently. Long story short, apparently it can be caused by some kinds of white fish - and I did eat an unusual one on Wednesday - but it’s not going away, so I’m starting to wonder if it’s a pancreas thing.

    Ah well, enough Dr Google - real drs appt it is on Wednesday, hopefully it won’t be $60 out of pocket just to be told it’s stress…

    source
    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I looked it up, this says it should last a few days tops and see a dr if it persists…

      If you get brushed off and it’s ongoing definitely get a second opinion. It could be an underlying malabsorption issue
