They are so gorgeous.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Those are well fed chonksters. Did you name them?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I have specifically not named them because if I do I’m going to end up with half a dozen cats and I’m not ready to retire yet lol

After 28 years of faithful service my toaster has finally decided to call it quits. RIP little fella.
Fortunately I have a toaster oven and was still able to cook my toast for breakfast
fancy Saturday breakfast
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
😮🤤
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
It was a Ronson. And the heating elements still work, it’s just the clip that keeps the toast down that has stopped working. Much better longevity than it’s predecessor, which was a wedding present that lasted less than one year (which is why I remember the age of the replacement!).

I have eaten too much sticky date pudding and I may never move again.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Green with envy.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’ll give you an upvote for mentioning sticky date pudding.

Your pics are appreciated
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
thank you. 😊
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Stunning. I am so glad you are having a good time

Having another bonfire tonight. With @Bottom_racer@aussie.zone last night I declare it burn shit weekend.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I just got fucking worked over hey.
I’ve been doing stuff by myself for so long I haven’t been pushing as hard as I should have been.
He’s had shoulder injuries in the past as well so he knows how to strengthen that part of my body pretty well.
Love this post workout high.
And now the well earned couch potato position lol
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
An abundance of sausage rolls leftover! Woo.!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
How did the party go? Give us the deets.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I mostly stayed away from the festivities so not to be a creepy parent , but lots of singing and dancing all night , the kids were pretty respectful. There was even a French exchange student that offered to help in the kitchen lol. All good.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Back from the far away beach on the ocean.
it was awe inspiring , just standing on the sand I felt the power of the tides
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Did you dip a toe?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Miss Seagoon did and she sunk inches in the sand very quickly! I walked through and on wearing boots.
I’ll post pics after I have a rest, I’m beat.

Today’s bad news: It started to rain as soon as I hung out my washing
Today’s good news: I got my toaster working again. Lots of crumb removal and playing around with the lever and it started staying down again. Google tells me it is probably a magnet problem, and it could have been interfered with by a build up of crumbs or it could be nearing the end of its life. We will just have to wait and see.
mertn22@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Don’t risk your life in a fire. Get a new toaster.
Superdooper@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Also make sure you have RCDs on your switchboard
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
How good are hash browns in the airfryer? Glorious I tells ya.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Oily potatoes are generally really great in the airfryer.
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
The best I say.

vale uBlock origin
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Switch to Firefox. I have it on mobile and it blocks ads here as well.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
On it already 😎 just have to transfer everything over
just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
It was enough for me to permanently switch to Firefox. Not being able to add custom blocklists on the so-called uBlock Origin Lite (which I used to block the stupid AI Overview BS) was the last straw
mertn22@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I can’t upvote that enough.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Didn’t do very well with the curries I made to take to a friend’s place - spice levels were all over the shop and I ran very late and spilled a whole lot in the bag (thankfully in the car). Past me would’ve been agonising over it all day but I’m glad I could get past it, hang out with friend, head to pub and socialise with other friends, and make it back in a good mood 😀
Bonus is I now have plenty of food for the next few days albeit not the best tasting but it’ll do…
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Made it to the gym for this morning’s class and it was… weird. It was a dance fitness class and I am very unco. But I had fun!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
That sounds like a shit load of fun!
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
It was and it’s surprisingly absolutely wrecked me!
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Good morning! Ever fallen in love with a space crab?
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I absolutely adore this!
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
The ridiculousness is quite something
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
i love these guys, saw them at St Andrews Hall and had a blast, between rockin’ I was laughing myself silly at their antics and parodies
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Insomnia gang sup.
Trainer just sent me the new 3 day program. Looks interesting. Haven’t done a few of the exercises before.
Pretty excited. When I’m in that world, I’m fully in. Great diet, consistent work outs, lots of water etc. I think it’s the old adhd super focus.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Woo! Keep us updated on how your shoulder is and your gym journey :)
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I just got absolutely worked lol
It was great having someone there to correct some movements if been doing wrong and to push me harder than normal.
Now I’ve earned my zonk lol
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Unfortunately a little broken from today’s workout - knee has blown up, so have been on the couch watching trashy stuff - just finished Joy Ride which was hilariously implausible and had some very funny parts.
Hope everyone is having a banger of an evening!

Morning chef, hope things are good in your dimension.
Can I have a simple bowl of warm porridge with lashings of honey? It’s cold in this universe

☀️🔥☀️🔥☀️🔥
🌾🥣🍯🍯🍯
🔥☀️🔥☀️🔥☀️The sun here continues to make its presence known at all times. I put it to work warming your porridge.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
A bowl of hot porridge with cream and honey please.
I’d also like to pre-order a slow-cooked balrog stew, with mashed potato and glazed carrots.

bacon@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
We are out of stock, please enjoy a jar of complimentary Balrog blood instead 🍯

It’s been a tiring week. Wishing everyone a good and pleasant sleep.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I was able to smash out a reasonable rendition of Mojo Pin by Jeff Buckley tonight.
This is like winning 100 Olympic gold medals and also the lottery several times.
Goodnight everyone ❤️
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Just tacking on to this post to tell you I’ve had Mojo Pin stuck in my head and have been singing it (enthusiastically but not terribly well unfortunately 😆) ever since you posted this. How did I forget about Jeff Buckley? His music was such a huge part of my life at one point, and his was one of those celebrity deaths that make you feel like the whole world stopped for a moment.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I forgot about him for a couple of years then he just popped into my head again one day.
Kinda takes you to another place.
I’ve been trying to sing a song of his (except hallelujah) for years and years.
Needs practice but I got most of it down.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Melbcat asked for uppies today and proceeded to have a long cuddle and scritches with a visitor! That was so cute.
spoiler
She’s still crying and wanting extra food (among a couple of other things) so I called the vet again about steroids for ibd flare. They talked about the side effects, blamed the osmolax, told me to monitor and call back Monday. It seems they don’t want to deal with it but I keep calling to stay on it as long as she’s not feeling well. If there’s something I can do for her comfort I will.
I’ve managed to screw up my sleeping pattern again.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Sunny today and less so tomorrow, looks like today’s the day Mt Washmore 🧗🏼♀️
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Trying to summon the enthusiasm to tackle the my Mt Washmore. It’s more Mt Put It Away that I’m shit with.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Oh true! We end up using it off the neatly folded pile = not a neatly folded pile any longer
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Thank you for the reminder, I was going to do some washing too but somehow got distracted enroute to the washing machine. I somehow ended up vacuuming the house and putting on a batch of yoghurt and completely forgot the washing!
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’ve managed to resolve some payment issues I was having with the meal kit services and have been able to sign up for another couple of free boxes 🙂 This means another few weeks of minimal meal planning.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
How have you found the quality of the ingredients?
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’ve found the quality is generally pretty good. The biggest issue I’ve had is with the cheaper ones (Dinnerly & EveryPlate) expecting you to have more ingredients to add in yourself, like mayonnaise or bbq sauce. You also need to make sure you do the recipes with more perishable ingredients first, especially if you are spreading it out over time. The last box I got had salad with everything, and by the time I got to the last recipe it was starting to get a bit wilted.
If you haven’t tried them before you can get free boxes (you still have to pay around $12 postage). They give out the codes to people who buy boxes to give to their friends etc, and there is a regular post in the aussie frugal reddit for people to post codes, which is what I’ve been doing. I got a box from each of the companies before I moved, and now that I’m at a different address I’m doing it again.

Enjoy 😂 I have the physical cd of this album signed by Voltaire himself 👀😂

Got tomorrow off thankfully.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Ended up having a little drunken slide show last night. So more Nepal from '99!
Image
Pretty sure that’s everest taken from somewhere close to namche bazaar-ish.
Almost the highest we went (only 3800m from memory).
I remember all the fit kids really felt it at that altitude. I was a naughty kid smoking durries where I could w/o getting caught, I didn’t feel a thing lol. And I think that weirdly enough added to the experience for me. Sneaking off far away from the group, absolutely no one around just sitting there in the dirt staring at the views.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
That’s so amazing man. Would love to see something like that one day!
