It worked in a way. It’ll take another week or 2 to break out of the habit of waking up, but I fell immediately back to sleep when I did wake up.
Success.
13 months. Unreal.

Ooh glassy!
If you wanted to be cruel turn that into a jigsaw puzzle and give it to someone you don’t like.

I love how there is a dark reflection and a light reflection, an effect which I did not see irl

I’ve made some progress on sorting my sewing room. Unfortunately the shelves I was hoping to use inside the cupboard won’t work - the shelves are the right size, but once assembled I won’t have room to manoeuvre them in. I have a couple more shelves to assemble and can then start putting more things away.
I’m behind where I would like to be, but I think I can get all the boxes cleared from the lounge room and tidy up the worst of the empty box collection before the rental inspection tomorrow. It is nice having the lounge room more clear and open again, but I need to move all the furniture now that I’m not having to accomodate a wall of boxes.

Not the kind of cupboard you can take the doors off of?
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
No, it’s a built in and the framing for the doors reduces the size of the opening slightly. Plus they have gone for the cheapest possible wardrobe insert, which is a single shelf with hanging rail below it, and it has a divider panel in the middle to provide support to the shelf which also reduces the options for what you can put in there.

I am the (Lobster) Queen of the North Tower. I thought I was relatively sunsmart yesterday but evidently not…
Have been watching some military ships come into Cairns, one from NZ and one from the US.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
one from NZ
It was only a matter of time before they had a go at us.

Happy Gilmore 2. It was not good but I did enjoy it.

Aldi plonk is great for the price, currently drinking a “the standing people” pinot noir from there, not bad
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Oh I’ve had some shit from there. I will need to try your recommendation now. Thanks.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Good for day drinking in the nude or is it more of a night time drink?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
It’s an all rounder.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
South Point anything is pretty solid for the price point!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I was very surprised
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Why does sitting on a bus for an hour make me so exhausted? Is it the air? Or would I have been exhausted anyway?
just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
People on the bus?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
that could very well be
forced proximity to strangers can be stressful
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I did have to hold my breath a few times with the junkies and smokers. And I have a tendency to make myself smaller and sit on the edge of the seat.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I have no idea, same with an airplane.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I haven’t been on a flight longer than four hours before, but I tend to feel sort of energised when I get to the destination.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Fuck buses. I have walked over an hour to avoid catching one.

Want to get away with the wife for a few days, not that familiar with the outskirts of Melbourne. Anyone know any good spots where mushrooms might still be in season? Is mount Dandenong any good for that?
StudChud@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I hear a random Asian grocer in mountglenwaverley has some delicious wild mushrooms!
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Look up Trentham and Mount Macedon. It’s a bit late in the season for those kind of mushrooms, but you might get lucky. Nice bushwalking though.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
There’s a little place called Woolworths. Heaps to choose from. Prices are variable.

Catfish@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Fuck me carpet glue is nasty stuff. They should not be allowed to use it in a building while it is open.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Got in a little parma vs. parmi match w/ the butcher yesterday.
It was a stalemate. I shoulda won that.
Losing my touch.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
You’ve let the whole of Melbourne down 😔
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
There were only 2 parmas left… I didn’t yield, but I had to agree to disagree.
I’m sorry Melbourne :(
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Do the potato cake vs scallop one next time
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
A butcher should be an authority on such topics, so you picked a hard opponent
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Well that backfired.
I reduced my anti dep dose and did in fact get somewhat better sleep. Except today I feel like utter shit.
Will try this again on the weekend and see what happens.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I have somehow managed to lose a sewing machine. I know it is here somewhere, but I’m a bit perplexed about where given I brought it up seperately and put it in the sewing room myself.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Behind the sofa cushions.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Check your pockets
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I checked and it turns out I don’t have any. Maybe I could make myself some, if I only I had a sewing machine…
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
You must be sew sad 😭
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Maybe Mr Woof is using it?
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Maybe making himself a guard uniform.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
It’ll be in the last place you look.

That whole album by kanye is pretty solid.

StudChud@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Hell yeah!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
What’s a guilty pleasure song?
StudChud@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
A song by an artist whom you
- don’t agree with their morals/actions
- don’t like any other song they’ve released
- in a genre that you might not listen to a lot
That’s just my own definition, really, and the song can meet all or just one of those points. I don’t like Nicki as a person, she’s awful, and I don’t like her other songs. I do listen to the genre though.
I mean, I love Anaconda so much I can sing it off by heart 😂
Duenan@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Im close to a food coma at the moment, have to go back to work tomorrow though.
I tried to put on my boots and it wasn’t easy and Im not even sure I could walk with them on with my toe still swollen and very uncomfortable.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
The other day I went through bags of baby clothes. They were in vac sealed bags and out of the way but thought it was time to get rid of them. I kept a couple of things and some crochet blankets my sister made.
Now I find out how many bags I can fit in my car and how many attempts to reverse my car out of the yard without hitting the gate.
tone212_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
My neighbour’s dog is howling its little brains out and I can’t understand why they’re letting this noise continue. I’ve never heard it do this before. Either way, it’s bloody annoying. I yelled shut up outside but it did nothing.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Sewing machine has been located. Exactly where I thought it should be, in a place I had looked multiple times. It was in a bag and I thought it was something else but didn’t open to check.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago

I won’t be in Melbourne for Parasite Live In Concert - watching the film with the orchestral score played live - but if I was I would’ve been very tempted to book a ticket.

Movie review
The Defiant Ones with Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier
It’s been a very long time since I last watched this Stanley Kramer movie ( I recommend all Kramer movies ) .
I grew up watching post wwii social justice movies, now this comes across to me as a bit too simplistic and maybe we don’t need such story telling about racism and bigotry any more
but then maga and russia and palestine, so maybe we need it just as much as we ever did
it’s that realism style, few beautiful landscape shots, just people against a gritty background, the beauty is in the developing relationship between the two main characters

tv review
Justice on Trial. J Judith Sheindlin re-enacts and editorialises some famous and some not so famous court cases that question the morality of the justice system.
Not a bad show if you like that sort of thing.

Today has been awful. Which is pretty rare for me to say honestly.
I want to go back to bed and not wake up until tomorrow.

It would be Ted, he’s always on the look out for a better family.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Could you be coming down with a plain old fashioned cold? That can really stuff up all the other things, particularly if you haven’t had one for a while.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Could very well be. I’ve got a pizza in the oven. Time for a bath, some food and reading in bed till I pass out.
