I used to watch a lot of Robot Wars. Betting and demolishing. Such fun.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 14 hours ago
Definitely good fun. I’m sorry but it’s not on the same level as my selections however
Eagle@aussie.zone 14 hours ago
I loved Iron Chef. But may I add the original Good News Week?
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 14 hours ago
You may

Antiques Roadshow would like a word.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 13 hours ago
I honestly thought about adding it to the list. I used to rush home from school to watch it on ABC. I maintain that my two are better though
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 13 hours ago
I haven’t seen either of these.

Same reply as to Seagoon: Omg you’re missing out. Lots of iron chef full episodes are on YouTube if you wanna check it out
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 13 hours ago
I haven’t seen any of these shows other than Bender being Iron Chef.

First time beer battered calamari rings tonight.
I’m sold on doing it that way now and not panko.
Double frying which was scary in case you end up w/ a gumboot, but it actually worked.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 13 hours ago
Looks nice. 🤤
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 18 hours ago
Three weeks done in new hard job type. Now additional support is removed BUT I’m not longer having these tasks sent to me as a high priority, so now I’m getting way more normal things in combination with the hard things which is very nice. It was like 1 in 2 and now it’s more like 1 in 10. Much more chill than first three weeks when it was just hard new thing all the time

sounds like winning 🥰

So far it’s all smooth sailing with using my friend to help me with some business design stuff. It’s much easier explaining what you want to someone who already gets the way you think. They also seem really excited to be working together again, we made a good work duo. So fingers crossed it stays all positive.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 12 hours ago
It’s great to hear things are working out. Sounds like you’ll make a great team going forward again

Apparently there’s been bioluminescence in St Kilda Beach. Can it wait until the weekend? I wanna go see it.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 12 hours ago
Man, indie game trailers are a real rabbithole on Youtube. You watch one and keep getting suggested more. They all look interesting but I don’t have the time

Thank you everyone for the kind words ❤️ fingers crossedn🤞🏾

beach
I need that calming.
the rhythms of the maintenance work around the beach, the fishermen, the bait catchers, people out for walks, joggers, dogs
all the wild life, the tides and weather,
being in it so many days a week you get to know it and get into the rhythm too
it’s nice

There is so much cool stuff at your beach I’m jealous

on the west coast, for a bio class we dug up "sand crabs’ and looked for strange parasites, they will filled with them.

Looks so calming. Love the shrimp party!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 18 hours ago
very calming
and the shrimp party was so cute 🦐🥳 They were about 5 cm long ☺️
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 13 hours ago
I wish it was more normalised to be single by choice, potentially lifelong. And there were more supports/safeguards for older people taking that path.
Then again even being married and having kids doesn’t guarantee you care or advocacy in your final years, or that you won’t be in poverty, so it is what it is. /shrug
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 13 hours ago
maybe you can help at a local cat shelter
or do cat sitting?
you’re a sweetheart to be so kind 😘
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 12 hours ago
Unfortunately I’m not able to do that at this point. It’s taking all I have to care for myself right now

Got offered the job from the interview on Friday. Now just to decide if I actually want to take it. My replacement is starting for my current role on Thursday.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
Do it!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
Congrats!!!

Today is national wattle day. Hopefully you encounter some of the fluffballs in your travels today and enjoy their joyfulness! Bring on Spring!

Mickey is a little fiend for these dental treats, he absolutely loves them.
I guess I’ll go to petbarn and grab a massive tub of them. They’re the only treat he really begs for 😂
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 13 hours ago
Good idea, sometimes buying in bulk is cheaper. And definitely hit up the specials.
I’ve found sometimes if you let an item sit in the cart you might get a coupon
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Can you take a pic? Would love to get Fluffball away from what she likes currently (temptations)
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 day ago
The brand is called Greenies, it’s dental treats for cats (they also do dogs but that’s irrelevant here lol!
They have chicken, tuna, and catnip flavours. Mickey is a little demon fiend for the catnip flavoured ones 😂

I used to leave my handbag in my car in the garage. Now that my car is in the yard, I bring it inside. That momentary of panic “Where did I leave it?” because I’d been out and about this weekend.
Oh it’s there hiding behind the coffee table. Mother fucker. I now have a designated spot.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Designated spots for things like that is very important. Especially keys, I don’t understand people that just throw them anywhere and then have to do a search every time they leave the house.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I’ve always hung my keys up in the same spot. I have taught YL the same after once having found her car keys in her handbag.
Everything in my house has a spot and if that item is not there I lose my shit.

My desire to have my breakfast muffin hot and my desire to have my breakfast muffin NOW are currently in conflict.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Hot is better than now, stay strong
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I stayed strong. Breakfast muffin was hot & very yummy. And the good new is I have another one for tomorrow’s breakfast too.

since I stopped having dairy my coffee consumption has halved, only 2 cups a day now
and another boring day of rest here

Radio show review
Around the World in 80 Days. BBC.
I just couldn’t enjoy this on account of what an appalling person Fogg is as well as all the racism.

Gibson is going for an operation tomorrow where she’ll be under anaesthetic and tbh I’m pretty worried.
It’s got to be done but yeah, fluffball is a real important part of my life and yeah. It’s stressful.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 13 hours ago
Melbcat had a general anaesthetic for a tooth extraction at 14yo and pulled up okay. Tomorrow is never promised but I hope that’s some reassurance.
Good luck to Gibson. If it’s a tooth extraction I was told to give mine chunks of cooked meat instead of soft wet food that could get into the stitches.

We’re here for you ❤️
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
sending so many healing thoughts 😘😘😘
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
Miss Meow bounced back from her general anaesthetic extremely quickly. She was back to normal the next day, much more resilient than Mr Woof who needed drugs and a cone on his head for a week.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
I’ sending positive vibes her way. Stay strong :)
SituationCake@aussie.zone 19 hours ago
Good luck hope she recovers well!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
Hope it goes well. Poor kitty.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
Good on you for taking such good care of her!
Eagle@aussie.zone 21 hours ago
Its tough. And wait until she protests about the lack of breakfast! Sending you both furry good wishes for a seamless experience.
