    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

        I get the dirtiest looks when I dare get out of bed to get to the bathroom lol

    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 ⁚3⁩ ⁚weeks⁩ ago

      I demand another piccy of sox!

      source
      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁚3⁩ ⁚weeks⁩ 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

        a world-first for this feline

        Image she loves everyone: Image

        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.

        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).

    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.

      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.

    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁚3⁩ ⁚weeks⁩ ago

      Reminds me I could use some more trackies, hope they’re not too tight, I like them a little bit baggy.

      source
      • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁚3⁩ ⁚weeks⁩ 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.

      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 💜

    So apparently there’s “crumpet toast”. With butterscotch chips in it.

    I just made some, and it’s the business

    source
    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁚3⁩ ⁚weeks⁩ ago

      Looks like regular bread?

      source
      • Alamutjones@aussie.zone ⁚3⁩ ⁚weeks⁩ ago

        Texture is a bit different. Plus, as noted, butterscotch

        source
      • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁚3⁩ ⁚weeks⁩ 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.

        Found it in Woolies, so it’s apparently not a specialty product

    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

    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. 😊

    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.
