I have returned from the market.
The very handsome dude who sells me salami (this is not a euphemism, stop laughing) has grown a beard, and is even more absurdly attractive now

It’s my last day with sox, and I feel sad that I must peel myself away to go work on the thesis of doom. Rather than spend a goblin mode day with her cuddled up on the oodie watching dumb shit and tossing snacks around the room for her
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I demand another piccy of sox!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Since you demanded so nicely, here’s a couple of blurry mediocre shots from last night when I got home late and was crouched on my knees on the couch, which was an invitation for sox to jump onto my back and park herself there for a minute
I have extricated myself from the warm cocoon of bed and am staring blankly at a screen but I promise to get some more pics tonight.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Seconded!
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Perhaps she will be back soon 😔
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It depends a lot on her human who is… Kind of flaky tbh. He’s got a good heart but his life is in a bit of a shambles of his own creation atm. At a crossroads where I think he’s very tempted to sell up what he has and float around; sox is the only real commitment he has tying him to one place…
If it came to it, I’d seriously consider adopting her but not for quite a while yet as I intend to end my lease and put my stuff in storage for a bit while I figure myself out before I come back and have more of a plan for how to secure my own home (if it’s at all possible).
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
aw, you’ll see her again 😘

Just went to a local shopping centre and got my fix of food court Chinese food, love it. Also unashamedly purchased a pair of Kmart trackies for each family member. They are unfortunately all the same shade of darkish grey ($8). Hey, the men’s cheap trackies are cheaper, thicker and warmer, and come in more serviceable colours than the ones in the women’s section, so 4 pairs of men’s trackies in varying sizes it was. I am a bogan.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Better to be warm and comfy!! What’s your go to plate? I’m a sucker for a sweet n sour pork, but my local place does a bangin’ beef satay.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I usually go black bean beef and either honey chicken or sweet and sour pork 🤤
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’ve donned the grey trackies everywhere at the moment. We can both be bogans lol
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Reminds me I could use some more trackies, hope they’re not too tight, I like them a little bit baggy.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 month ago
They’re a relaxed fit on my, err, relaxed shape. It’s just getting the right size and not being too fussy about the colour.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Not to mention proper pockets. I see nothing wrong with any of this and consider it a good day
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yesss, decent pockets that you can actually fit your phone into ftw!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Grey or black trackies, black hoodie, a chain, and an earring. This is the outfit of 15-18 year old boys who roam the local shopping centre and wanna be eshays hehe
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Lol I’m doing 3 out of 4 of these 😆

She’s given up the throne for a box?!

She’s in box heaven right now lol. All new places to hide and randomly attack my leg when I walk past haha

Wooo brewery all sorted and bagged out with dust sheets for the back wall repoint…looks like a fuggen murder dungeon now.
We both have very black senses of humour so i’ll keep the running commentary to the family
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Excellent!
I barter with a friend for his brew. I cook food. He pays with beer. I rate his beer. His name is Beer Dave.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
this sounds like an excellent trading relationship 👍
Taleya@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Soon we shall have basement brewery with a section for my maceration and distilling and also a pickle shelf. For pickles.

I think the hot drink might be getting a bit too hot in that second photo.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That hot drink was just to put a lining on my stomach before I hit it hard.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
There is a sound that no matter where I am or what I’m doing in the house I recognise it in a millisecond:
The cat hocking up a hairball.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Atleast you get a warning. My dog coughs once and then out it comes.

Bill is a silent chucker in the night.
And is why I always put the light if I get up to go to the loo.

You have a lot of understanding and compassion for your parents, especially your father. It’s hard to see how hurtful and unhelpful parents can be when you still live with them. But I don’t agree with how you father communicates his concerns.
I would encourage you to explore options on leaving that house, it honestly doesn’t sound like being there is helping you at all. Re-read what you wrote and pretend you were talking about your close friend or daughter - you’d tell them to get out.
We love you and you always have our support 💜
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It’s hard, so many hugs.
Keep your eyes on your goals.

Is anyone else gonna have a bonfire tonight and howl at the moon?
Eagle@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Fire in the loungeroom, safely contained in a flued cast iron box? Why yes, i am.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
If by bonfire you mean heater then yes!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
😂
That’ll do. I don’t make the rules. 👍
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I bonfired early, on Thursday and Friday. Tonight might be indoors with the central heating on. And a small howl or two.

Aldi $4, 400g lasagna review:
spoiler
Yeah pretty good.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I read this as $4,400 lasagne. Which would be some lasagne.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
The bigger 8 dollar ones are pretty good too!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
yup, aldi dinners are ok 👍
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’m off to the market. Does anyone have any requests?
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Two fancy cheeses please 🥺
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 month ago
🧀 🫕
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 month ago
So apparently there’s “crumpet toast”. With butterscotch chips in it.
I just made some, and it’s the business
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Looks like regular bread?
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Texture is a bit different. Plus, as noted, butterscotch
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Crumpet toast is like stale bread x a kitchen sponge but when you toast it and add butter, all the butter soaks in and it’s divine.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Woah. This interests me greatly.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Found it in Woolies, so it’s apparently not a specialty product
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Winter Solstice and Pokemon Community Day! Hooray for Saturday!
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’m home from work early as my voice deserted me. Mr Woof is thrilled.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
this solstice sun is so glary I had to come home from the beach and was then struck with a migraine
i’ll live

My mum sent me this photo, and I didn’t even notice the bird at first. Image
Reminds me of this attention test
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Was going to go to the gym but will rest tonight instead. I think I’d be pushing too hard if I went tonight.
So:
Feed the cats
Make dinner
Setup drumkit and have a play
Maybe some video games
Cuddle with Fluffball.

I went to the local repair cafe and spoke to them about running an information session on switching old computers to linux.
They’re open to it, so I’ll have to put some things together and figure out a date.
I figure I could always make a big deal about linux gaming and turning your old hardware into a steam deck, then targeting it at teenagers in the area if I want to boost numbers
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Happy Solstice for lunchtime today!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That damper was unreal. I’ve never done it in foil and straight into the fire. I’ve done it heaps of times in the camp oven and in oranges.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Gonna make a stir fry and settle in for footy. Tonight’s good
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
yay, I have finished the painting. Now just to do to two more drawer liners, buff the paint with some brown paper to get the sheen patterns off and then tidy up. 😊
fuck, that was not an easy job, I first spent a week cleaning 70 years of yellow gunk from smoke from all the furniture, sanded everything, then had to do four coats to cover the white enamel. I also repainted the brass drawer handles in a silver gold paint . It might take a month for all the paint to fully cure.
I have wrecked two pairs of jeans with paint and my new slippers, luckily they were old jeans and cheap slips.
My new desk is huge but then I remembered I got it to do art work on , for big pieces of paper, so that’s cool. Think I’ll repolish it before I use it. 😊
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I think I’m gonna spend the day eating.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 1 month ago
The question is, to eat cheese before going to bed, or to not eat cheese?

I watched “The Surfer” last night. The plot was surprising and totally unexpected.
I went in thinking it was going to be yet another tale of revenge. I didn’t anticipate a fever dream commentary on the Australian housing market.
Nic Cage once again devours his roll in that batshit crazy style he has perfected over the years.
Opinions will vary on this one. 3.5/5 flat whites

I’m having a really rough trot.

I’m in quite a bit of pain, miss cooking and eating, and especially miss having the energy to do stuff -_-

Thanks everyone for the kind words yesterday. It really means a lot ❤️

I was up a few times last night coughing and miss kitty is still curled up in her igloo not talking. I think I interrupted her beauty sleep
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I get the dirtiest looks when I dare get out of bed to get to the bathroom lol
“forgive me Gibson, the treat slave will be quieter next time” lol
