Also garlic dip is no joke, 38% garlic! It is SPICY from the garlic. Recommend if you wanna tasty treat that will also protect you from vampires and other people in general

You can add it into dishes too instead of using raw garlic. I like to spread it on a piece of bread then add cheese and airfry it.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Omg 🤤 I was thinking it felt more like an ingredient than a dip. Good thinking!

That stuff is fuckin’ crack. Goes oddly great with doritos!

Today was meant to be a uni work day but I genuinely couldn’t get up until 11am, it’s effing miserable out there, and Sox has been glued to me ever since, so I’m taking that as a sign to cancel my vague offer to help a relative tomorrow and use that to get on with my writing instead. Maybe I’ll do some more reading this arvo though.
I’m also not normally much of a soup person, but this weather definitely calls for one. I’m thinking kidney beans, leeks, carrot, tamatah paste and the orzo lying around in the cupboard. Maybe some roast fennel.

Headache ended up subsiding. Got a couple of hours of guitar in which is awesome.

My cat snores louder than my human partner.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Gibson snores as loud as an ex I used to call snorasaurux rex
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Alfie is quite the snorer!
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Mickey makes suckling noises, it’s very cute. He also does a big sigh as he’s drifting off.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I used to catsit a couple of cats that snored. Sox definitely doesn’t. She might issue a throaty purr when she feels particularly gruntled, though.

Mr Woof spent about four hours last night running in and out stressed out and looking for me. He was very happy when I got home, and hopefully will be a bit more relaxed tonight. And hopefully I will be a bit more relaxed too, knowing he’s ok.
The positive outcome is that he is now confidently using the dog door in both directions and no longer requires my dog door midwiffery to get up the courage to go through.
Miss Meow was also a bit stressed at having me out all night - she spend an hour or so in the early hours of the morning searching for me. Both of them were glued to my side in bed after I got home.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
That’s so cute! Glad they’re feeling better :)

At the same shopping centre where this week’s pumpkin projectile happened to me and I witness another loud confrontation between staff v shoplifter, this time at Aldi. I kept my distance and eyes on them the entire time. What is happening though? Twice in a week while I’m here. I honestly don’t feel that safe coming here anymore.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’m sorry bro, there are parts of Melbourne that are especially cooked now. Poverty, drugs and lack of support services are really causing a crunch and leading to increased aggression.
It might be worth going somewhere else, another area if possible

almost mid-year crying tally update
YTD, I have “only” cried 34 times. This is compared to 72 times this time last year. And I haven’t cried in almost a month. Maybe my eyes have started to water since then, but haven’t counted it. A win is a win.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Great idea to track. Those little bits of evidence help show it’s getting better. You’ve worked so hard on yourself these last couple of years ♥️♥️

So nice coming inside to a warm house.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I got:
A fancy toothbrush (that has Bluetooth and an app for some reason)
New sheets
A jacket
A hoodie with a massive hood (took me weeks to find)
Massive amount of cat treats
Done and done.

How is it that tedious chores are easier in video games than rl? But I’m stealing the concept of ‘doing dailies’.
If I can do even just one annoying thing each day, no matter if that’s all that gets done, then that should start to add up to a clean mostly empty flat. And if it doesn’t then it prevents things from snowballing (especially in a small place).
I’m staying on Mts Wash and Dishmore, shredding paperwork, and slowly weeding out various things to declutter. There’s a bunch of different places for unwanted stuff to go but I’m just putting them aside for when I get a lift.
When life is less chaotic then I begin to sell things.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
One annoying thing a day is a good idea. I’m going to steal it. If my executive function works with me.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
this is what I do
I set myself rules. Everyday make sure the cat amenities are clean. Do the dishes and clean the kitchen everyday. Self care everyday. Wear clean tidy clothes everyday.
If I make a list I try to have it all crossed by end of day, it doesn’t matter if it’s midnight.
I need to expand my rules.
Taleya@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
We cranked up the rammstein for the next wall and i’ve just nipped up to grab some fuds. I can hear His Lordship singing along to big titties through the floorboards lol

Ooh, I saw them live in Melbourne ages ago. Was quite a show
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Read another book (High Wire by Candace Fox) and in the brief bit of Sun we had, went out. The Minipeelers swindled me somehow into going to a local cafe where the San Sebastian cheesecake and tiramisu are to die for. Both were lovely as usual. Am now alternating between beached whale mode and doing odd little tasks like a load of laundry.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I hope everything is working out well :)
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Thankyou Gibson!

Sorting out my trip to Adelaide!!!
Fuck yes!

I’m developing an addiction to Jarrah hot choccie. I blame this weather.
Pilk@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
The Coles organic hot chocolate is incredible. I add a splash of pouring cream and vanilla syrup too. No, I have no self-control.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
P&H soup in crockpot - adequate quantities of garlic included. Kitchen smells amazing. Will be done by 6 pm I hope.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Please help.
Do I:
Stay inside all day and lounge around
Go and do a massive food shop
Go and buy some new clothes
I’m leaving towards option 1.
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Massive food shop if you’re lacking.
It’ll also mean you won’t have to do it after work this week if you shop for the entire week.
Clothes shopping maybe wait on that. EOFY sales should be starting soon?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
You make good points. I’m still lounging but will do a massive food shop sometime today, but not heaps lacking in stuff.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I mean it’s a great day for option 1. How urgent are 2 and 3? Can they happen tomorrow?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Option 1 was the winner!
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Look I just got back from the great OUT THERE and it’s pretty miserable. But there are not many other shoppers around.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I bit the bullet and went clothes shopping and grabbed enough groceries for today.
Glad my bed is warm and inviting lol
Taleya@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
whine I’ve got
Pump a pile of artic water from the overflow to the tanks on the other side of the house then
Smash a pile of render off a brick wall in an unheated basement
Wanna swap?

I feel hungry, making two sorts of pasta and mixing it together tonight.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Grrr. I have to go out and buy stuff. Peas are soaking for P&H soup, but they won’t be cookable for hours yet. I need a decent ham bone and some more garlic. Grrr. Some nice bread to have with soup would be good too. But hanging about won’t make that happen so will grit my teeth and grin and bear it. Weather is (marginally) improving.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
My big plans for this morning involve the heater, the couch, and a large pot of tea.
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Replace tea with coffee and I’m your twin.

I fell asleep briefly watching Klute. I never fall asleep during the day ever. Perhaps I’m coming down with something
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Found out you can do donations to food banks via supermarket delivery but annoyed that by posting that I’m driving more business to Coles (when Coles and Woolies should be receiving a lot more scrutiny for price gouging and shrinkflation).
Hopefully a few more people will donate this way but it’s hiding a systemic issue (growing wealth inequality) and it’s always the big businesses that clean up when things go to shit. What a sucky balance.
If I had money and a car I’d probably hit up Aldi or IGA both for myself and when I could do donations
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
the savings from shopping at aldi make using public transport to get there and back cost effective
and so many hugs for you thinking of helping other people, again , you’re a good person 😘😘😘
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Public transport isn’t very accessible for physical reasons and also safety issues. Also for working people time is an issue
Still sucks that I’m giving a sus grocery baron a plug

The painting of the bedroom suite is taking a while but it’s looking so good. I’ll post pics when I’m done. 🙂
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
More painting is done. Later I will continue painting the drawer handles and escutcheons.
now it’s tidying up and ironing on some patches.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
TIL a new word, escutcheons. Thanks Seagoon 🙏

Need to get up and out to the farmers market while there’s a break in the rain but stuck under my blankets… What to do?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I need to either do a massive food shop, or go to the mega shopping centre for some new clothes.
I don’t wanna

Melatonin hasn’t done a thing. Restavit it is /shrug

Words fail me.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I didn’t end up taking the restavit because it expired last month… debating whether to take it tonight anyway and get a fresh box on Monday.
I’m sick of the sleeping pattern I’m stuck in. I do wake up but can’t seem to get up or do anything and end up going back to sleep.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
When I trim my nails, I trim too close to the cuticle and end up getting an infection.
I have one now and the antibiotics are giving me a nasty headache.
Goodnight all :)
