Blood test results came back after a fair few years since my last one - no deficiencies, no other issues at all. Clean bill of health! So I will be cheers’ing to that tonight.

Went to Sweet By Nature in Heidelberg and picked up some bulk brownie offcuts and some mini new York cheesecakes. Unfortunately two very tired boys banged their heads on the same table and would not calm down so we had to leave early

how’s it’s white teeth thingies in the middle
next week I’ll wear my gumboots so I can wade and look into some pools further out to find the red coloured cherry anemones

Boyo: I had a late lunch, I don’t think I’ll want dinner tonight, so you have whatever you want.
Brain: Cheese!!
Me: No, you’re organising the cheese plate for tomorrow night’s party.
Brain: Eat cheese!!
So I’m cooking cheesy pasta as a compromise with myself. Annoying I’ve been craving salmon all week (which boyo won’t eat) and my brain went nah, I don’t want that anymore.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 18 hours ago
cheesy pasta and salmon sound like a good mix to me…
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 18 hours ago
That’s… an excellent point. Aw.

The pots keep drying out… I hope the seeds will sprout rather than having germinated and then died

I just want this wind to go awayyyy. Trying to count in the warehouse and it’s putting me so on edge.

Someone tell me why they plant the jizz trees in schools. Were the people in charge of procurement wanting people to be reminded of that smell?
tone212_@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
My place has 8 jizz trees in the garden - four in backyard, four in front yard. Someone was obsessed. The front one’s are starting to jizz up now and they’re extra smelly.

Hardly any updates because SILs home is in a 5g deadspot, and their Optus WiFi isn’t routing properly and won’t let me access Lemmy 😂 I have to go for a walk a few streets away to see your beautiful posts lol
Having a great time though! I’ve seen so many insects and birds.
I think this is a Giant Grasshopper
I haven't been able to ID this one
Partner says it’s a Spitfire but spitfires don’t look like that, and Google lens says it’s a US moth except they’re not in Aus
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Hope you get a chance to go to the Perth Zoo because it’s amazing.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I’ve been before it’s fantastic? They have rhinos!!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
not a spitfire, spitfires are all black
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Exactly!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
That looks like a wooly bear caterpillar! I took a photo of a similar being a couple of years ago, will edit it in if I can find it

Wind on rubbish collection day is always fun. I picked up a bunch of wrappers blown into the corner of the yard, but Mr Woof made off with an empty chocolate wrapper before I could stop him. It was a catch and release, I can now see it blowing around the back yard. I also picked up the instructions for how to install hybrid floor boards that have presumably escaped from a nearby building site.

A friend of mine occasionally refers to his hometown of Scumbury
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 18 hours ago
As a local, there’s Springer’s Leisure Centre.
Maybe it’s a youth thing, but Springvale is Springy.

Gotta keep it sensible.

Shiver me timbers! They be showin’ del Toro’s Frankenstein at IMAX, aye? Hope it’s at the Melbourne one, savvy? IMAX be a fine sight, it be.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
Wow, I’ve never been to IMAX but I do want to go someday.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
It’s terrific 😃
but I don’t think Frankenstein will on at the cinema here in Australia

I didn’t like Windows 10 and I am absolutely hating Windows 11. The only reason I keep a Windows laptop is because my favourite game is Windows only.
But I am cursing the Microsoft monopoly.
spoiler
Trying to do something simple is a massive fuck around, accidentally ghosting near some dumb shit button brings up a news popup that covers most of your screen, it kidnaps your files into the cloud to extort payment for more storage and obscures the settings to back up to drive instead of cloud, and trying to search your computer for something takes you to fucking Bing. Forget about simple games like Solitaire, even as of Windows 7 they’re gamified and enshittified out the arse with sounds you cannot disable and pushing to upgrade to premium to stop the ads. There’s also AI and the increased amount of corporate spyware including screenshotting all your shit (including potentially sensitive information). And the fact that Windows 11 can possibly wipe your SSD once it reaches 60% full. (Which is why I’m hurriedly backing up now, especially as the computer contains stuff I’m desperately pulling off cloud.) I really hope something happens and the monopoly collapses. Fuck them for all the shady shit they pulled for so long to make this the normal state of affairs. And yes, I knew it was a good idea to not use Windows and not rely on cloud. I just literally haven’t had a chance to prioritise sorting it out. I’m still not really getting to focus on it right now and Big Tech continues messing up yet more shit. If I knew everything I needed would work without prolonged wrestling and troubleshooting that would probably never get finished I’d be maining Linux or some other alternative already.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I fucking hate itunes/music so much for the way they “remove” files they don’t want you to have by renaming them and reformat photo files
and their tv app sucks so bad
but damn they support such good television production and they pretty much give the producers/writers free rein
microsoft , you still have choices, you can choose to not use microsoft
and choose not to play games on line, you can use a pack of real cards if you choose
reminds me, i have to find the unsubscribe button for epic games, they are annoying me
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 day ago
It’s going to be so hard to disentangle everything. And I’m probably not going to be able to play a favourite game if I can’t get it to work in Linux.
And the .odt files I tried sending aren’t able to be opened on the other end. Kind of important when communicating with organisations.
I think what I’m going to do is break it down in steps.
I have to grab back all my pictures and files from the cloud to local storage before a deadline, I’ve got them off One Drive into a differently named folder so it can’t yoink it back but this computer is getting really full.
So I’ll back up my old desktop.
Install whatever Linux that has a legit iso.
Then get everything onto there.
Then I can try to use Wine or whatever to see if I can get Minecraft and online games working.

Doing some rough and quick sewing to try and make one of the pairs of de-elasticked trackies wearable. It has a fold over casing so might be salvageable.
The others have separate casings that are cut too narrow so I might bung the original elastics back in when I get time and donate them.
I need to empty this mending basket as part of decluttering

Taking the Minipeelers and MrExPeeler to the Aquarium tomorrow. Never been before so it should be fun! Still exercising daily and managing a minimum 6,000 steps per day. No doubt will do more than that tomorrow!
