    Desperate to see physio tomorrow to unlock my shoulder. Have been in a great mood because of diet change but shoulder has restricted what I can do.

    Fingers crossed.

      How have you changed your diet?

      source
      • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Pretty much completely clean eating so no sugar, very little cars, high protein etc. It’s great long term but the first couple of days can be a roller-coaster.

        And thanks, I Defs need the physio I fucked up and practiced drums yesterday and today and that was a terrible idea.

    yay, I got my stuff done today, even with adapting the schedule a little

    I feel relief and accomplishment , it was easy tasks but I had to push myself, I am success resistant 😠I’m cross because it’s because of triggers

      I’m glad you feel relieved! Always a nice feeling after you’ve done the things you need to do

    I went for another walk… pushing it a bit fast physically and just waiting to get hassled again. But for now I’m just trying to gently get moving again and get some sunlight.

    I need to work out what I’m wearing these warmer months. The things on offer in the shops are not my cup of tea.

    My first plant order has arrived

    box of plants

    It’s mostly natives, plus a couple of lemon trees and some rosemary. I’ve got a few more perrenial herbs on order too and another box of natives I’m expecting next week. I need to sit down and do a proper planting plan, at the moment I’ve got a rough mental plan but need to sit down and work out the specifics.

    I aim to get the rest of the cardboard/mulch down this afternoon so I can do some planting tomorrow. I got some compost today so I can dig that in when I plant, which will hopefully be enough for the plants to get a foothold. The soil seems to be mostly clay so could have some drainage issues but otherwise doesn’t seem too terrible.

    My lovely daughter surprised me with David Byrne tickets at Sidney Myer Music Bowl in January ☀️🔥.

    I have questions. How bad are the acoustics there? Can I bring my golf umbrella? Would it look weird to wear a beekeeping outfit to keep the mozzies from feasting on me?

      Would it look weird to wear a beekeeping outfit

      If going as a fam you do you need to hire a bee outfit for everyone and own the look:

      The acoustics are pretty good (I saw Chisel there last November) dunno about the brolly but probably not, and we weren’t bothered by mozzies at all, and I live where they are in plague proportions. Are you lawn or in the seats?

    My iris plant has a bud, first one, I’m not even sure what colour it will be as it’s a bulb I got from the gardeners at the carlton gardens a few years ago

    I think it’s going to be purple

    New development in the sleep screaming. Last night we extended to, “What are you doing here? Get out!”

    I think this has to do with a fear of an aggravated burglary.

    It only has been happening when I get shit sleep the night before.

    There are two types of songs I like to listen to on Youtube: songs only a few days old with just a couple of hundred views, and songs that are like 15 years old with millions of views.

    Sometimes Youtube blesses you with a song that is 15 years old and only has a couple of thousand views.

    Place next door being built is fkn loud. Basically a massive crater at this point.

    Looking at the company who is building it, it will probably look something like

    this

    Image ___

    Or one of those ‘ultra modern’ boxes.

    According to the plans the pool is going to be bang right up against the fence so I’ll be able to jump in when they’re not there :) or if I’m nice to them maybe they’ll let me use the subterranean indoor cinema which (according to the plans) can seat 15 (!) people lol.

    From what I gather this company builds it then tries to sell it so what sort of person would buy something like that (without any input into the design) I have no idea.

    source
    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      ha ha , do bombs off the fence into the pool

      and the burbs are full of those now, they aren’t brick or stone, it’s stucco on foam, hebel if they are doing are it right

      also, having actually lived in one of those in europe, albeit an 18th C one, the layouts are awkward and not in tune with modern living, I did like having lots of sunlight and the entrance hall was nice

      no, I didn’t have a cinema, tho there was a cellar. It was dank and cold and would get flooded and had rising damp, it was where the furnace was

      source
      • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The fan was great for blocking out the construction noises.

    That said, I think Fluffball had a harder time of things sadly.

      Melbcat is scared of noise too. I found Zylkene helps a little as do boxes insulated with blankets. If it was really bad I’d play soft relaxation music or birdsong in the background to try and mask.

    Brian FM are playing a reverse countdown (1 - 2500) from the most played songs to least. You’ll find them on online or on Spotify. Possibly other places. So if you like old and new rock I highly recommend.

      This is why Alfie has his own room, I was sleeping like crap because of him and it was hard to train him out of it when he’d had 5 years of naughty behaviour. So he gets his own room, I sleep much better and he doesn’t mind it - runs to his room when it’s bed time!

        It bugs a bit sometimes. I notice sometimes it will zoom in on the video for no reason and I can’t put it back to normal, or the sound will suddenly cut out, or I’ll start the video and it’ll freeze if I unmute.
