Gosh I feel like I’ve been a total shut in this week with what happened to me, catching up on work and the cold weather. Winter hibernation mode is activating big time. I’ve got a birthday dinner tomorrow night and actually looking forward to some social time with friends, I really need it.

How are you feeling?
tone212_@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
Much better today! My head is still sore to the touch where I was hit but the headaches are reducing. Still a bit sensitive to super bright lights and loud people but I was never a fan of either to begin with haha
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Have a great time. You deserve it.

Checks the clock “oh shit it’s almost 9:30!” Feels very, very old suddenly.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
I’ve been struggling to stay awake since 7.30, so think I’ve done pretty well lasting this long. Am also feeling old
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
yep, I’m going to do a little end of day tidying and then it’s watching some tv time
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Well the punches keep rolling for the ol’ girl.
Just learned yesterday big C. in the bowel. Looks like IV.
The last 8 months have been hell for her ever since that fall and now completely unrelated… this. Pretty limited therapy when pushing 80yo. She’ll be going in for an op but chemo/radio is out of the question. Working out the spread basically means just working out (guessing) how long.
Universe can be cruel.
Taleya@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Fuck, i’m sorry.
His lordships’s grandma got hit with pancreatic at 96, there’s something incredibly cruel about life pulling this shit that close to the end anyway
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 day ago
That’s shit, dude. I’m so sorry to hear.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I’m so, so sorry mate ❤️
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Shit, that’s awful. It’s like an avalanche of medical suffering. I’m really sorry mate. I hope you’ll be able to spend some quality time with her in the coming months
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I’m so sorry.

I’m so sorry, that’s just terrible! Sending you and your family my love and good vibes, and I’m knocking on all the wood in my home!!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Sorry to hear that bro. Hoping for an easy and painless path forward.

Dammit, that sucks the big one. Bowel cancer got both my maternal grandparents too. Many many hugs.

Erin Patterson, a proven liar, sitting on the stand and claiming that everyone else is lying about her and what she said is actually wild.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 day ago
There’s a bloke in the US like that and he’s currently the President.
If you believe your own lie, it’ll manifest itself as truth.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 day ago
She keeps asserting her lies until she gets completely cornered by the evidence and then changes the story and comes up with some excuse for the lies. Excuses like, oh I was embarrassed, oh I got confused, etc. I think she did it.
Nath@aussie.zone 1 day ago
My wife has been fascinated by this case and listens to the daily podcast about it. She’s gone from “oh she definitely did it” to “maybe she’s innocent, I can’t be say beyond reasonable doubt” after this week’s testimony. So Erin is clearly doing some good for her case on the stand.
I haven’t been following the case closely, but I listened to one recap podcast a week ago where they describe the multiple phones, the missing phone seen on camera that wasn’t provided, with the one provided to police being factory reset first, and taking her dehydrator on CCTV to the tip after telling police she didn’t have one - it was all pretty damning.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
but she didn’t have a dehydrator, she used to have one
I would like to see the police questioning, I bet it wasn’t very good
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Shows that the defence is doing a very good job! I think Erin is destroying it for them though.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 day ago
She says 6 were made, one each for her guests, one for her and one that her child ate part of minus the toxic mushrooms which she scraped off.
3 people dead, one seriously ill, one made herself puke because she ate too much cake and one unscathed. Something doesn’t add up.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 1 day ago
It’s wild that she’s saying ‘I never’ in relation to plates and announcing cancer, when her FIL says the opposite
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I reckon the only reason she recited those plates are because they’re the ones that were shown on the evidence video earlier in the trial.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 day ago
A while ago I confiscated a couple of vapes. Tonight we tried them out. Fuck. No wonder the kids are addicted to this shit.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
It’s pretty bad these days. They can get the disposables pretty much anywhere without ID.
The government got rid of the good guys and opened the gates to the blackmarket people to sell to kids.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 day ago
What happened when you tried them?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Nothing happened. They taste fruity.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
very windy, house creaking 🫥
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
The wind seems to have died down a bit here. The feels like temp is now 0.3^o^ which is the warmest I’ve seen it all day!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
I’m so tired but I don’t want to waste my Friday night. I haven’t even had the weekly doughnut fries.
Might take a longer nap with Fluffball.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Alrighty. I have soft mattress topper. Yay lol

My dentist was late for the appointment. Her car was updating and she was left stranded for a bit. Both funny and sad.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 21 hours ago
I’m now nocturnal and kind of withdrawing from everyone. I think I’m getting really depressed.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 19 hours ago
I just watched How to Train Your Dragon and I thought it was excellent.
But then I read reviews. People have said it ruins the books and turns them into a generic coming-of-age plot, and also if you liken Hiccup to an autistic person, it describes how society shits on autistic people and glorifies them when they exhibit savant like moments.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Cheers everyone 🍺

That was invigorating. I got to start my walk with a game of Pick Up the Rubbish Bin and Chase Down my Rubbish Strewn Down the Street. Just in time too, the truck was collecting it just as we got back.
My new laundry rack and remote control for the garage have both arrived. I think I’ll need to move the van to access the controller to program the remote, I might wait until it’s not so windy to do that, I’m likely to lose half the contents of the garage if I open the door.

My mother was in my dream. We were looking at family photos. I lost most of mine in the bad years.
I miss her dearly.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Had a dream that guests arrived early and we didn’t have the cheese I planned to serve. And another absolutely awful dream (like fucking WHY brain. WHY did you show me that?!), but I’ll choose to think about the cheese.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Let’s say you’re at the supermarket; Is it against social norms to open a few punnets of strawberries and gather only the ripe ones to put in the punnet you eventually purchase?

Happy International Donut Day
Yesterday was International Sausage Roll Day

I’ve made another temu order. The one from a little while ago was the first package I’d received in over a decade

I have a splitting headache. Had 2 Panadol and a coffee about an hour ago, has dulled it a bit, but it’s still there. Today will be unproductive.

It’s miserable weather, but at least I can now be confident my heater is up to the task.
I’ve now done the setup for the outdoor security cameras, I just need the weather to improve enough for me to go outside and mount them. It’s just a couple of screws to clamp on to the gutter so it shouldn’t take too long - the hardest bit will be deciding the best postion for the one in the back yard.
Unfortunately my leave is over and I have to go to work tomorrow. My first night shift in ages, hopefully the novelty of meeting a bunch of new people and learning how to do my job in a different place will stop me falling asleep.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
Good luck. 😊
