My favourite pair of jeggings got a massive tear, seam to seam, across the knee. So I’ve cut the legs off, and hemming them to turn them into a cute pair of summer shorts :3

Jeggings are the best piece of clothing EVER invented for women.
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 hour ago
That you did this rather than auto piff tells much. Good job!
StudChud@aussie.zone 36 minutes ago
Thank you! I have a row of back stitching to do above the hem I did, and then I’ll trim the excess.
I love altering and mending over buying new! Especially as these are my fav jeggings and I’m not ready to part with them 😂 I have a skirt that’s too large and too small in all the wrong places on me, that has a nice flora pattern - I’ll use those to mend the pocket on the jorts I’ve created 😂

AITA
went to beach, played with some dogs, talked to some folks, found not many shells :) not a problem
and then the big dog
a big dog heavy came running at me and rammed into me, ok, but owner said nothing
then dog went back to owner
then dog did it again, i hear my spine crunch
I yelled at owner, stop your dog,
"he’s just a 12 month puppy, i’m training him, he jumps up ( he did not jump up at all, he rammed )
( she didn’t train him at all, she said nothing to her dog )
I’m disabled ( and I am, I have to be careful of my back). Owner acted like she was the victim.
“so am I. don’t use that as an excuse”
i said, excuse for what?
she said, this is a dog beach, don’t come here
I walked away
one, she didn’t train or control her dog
two, it’s a local beach, only half the people there have dogs
three, there are lots of different people at the beach
there was an elderly woman on crutches at the beach 30 minutes earlier, would it have been her fault if she was injured by the uncontrolled dog?
or the mother who was there with a baby in a pram?
i’m pissed
this is the first time I’ve experienced that at the beach

NTA. That’s an awful situation and that woman is an idiot. Her dog will continue to hurt people. I hate that this happened to you!
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 39 minutes ago
NTA. I have had many active working dogs over the years and sometimes they can be overly energetic when young and stuff up (just like kids). But I would always be there, apologise, get the dog under control and reinforce training. And I watch other people to gauge whether they are up for rambunctiousness (how are they walking, do they have a dog etc) and try to minimise harm before it happens.
Anecdotally I have noticed some terrible socialisation of dogs in the last few years and more and more dipshit owners.
Yes sometimes at a dog beach accidents happen. And yes you can and should expect people to be responsible. I hope your back is ok
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 16 minutes ago
thanks for validation
I feel like such a karen but I looked up the dog beach laws and the dogs have to be under control at all times. My beef was with the owner , I could see the dog was good natured but just not controlled or trained well. Note I talked to the owner and held her responsible for her dog. I didn’t blame the dog at all, didn’t yell at the dog, dog was just being a dog. I said No is all.
gees, and I was playing with four dogs at once just 30 minutes before that. ( they were all adorable, especially the very fluffy one who had such short legs it made us laugh when she would run) I really love dogs
I see so many families at the beach. That dog could hurt people.
I’m thinking when the weather improves and it’s crowded every day other dog owners will start having a go at this dog owner and they will not put up with her darvo shit.

Because I deal mostly with clients I need a second Sim card or a piece of shit hand me down from work to use.
So I asked the other day and they bought me a new galaxy s25!
I don’t know even know what to say at this point honestly.

And why wouldn’t they?

Something about seeing freshly hatched babies out in the wild makes me happy. They’re so…scrunched
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 hours ago
The front yard is almost complete. The dirt is all down, I just need to sprinkle some grass seeds and water everything in.
The trees over the back fence are now almost all gone. It’s a bit weird looking out the back window and just seeing sky.
I can’t see anything except sky over the fence if I’m sitting down.

Too many library books. Again

No such thing so long as you can carry them!
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 hours ago
Sounds like just the right amount!
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 4 hours ago
I am at max capacity. If I went back in and tried to get any more, my card wouldn’t let me

Beach. It’s a falling tide so it’s a good time to go.

RustyRaven@aussie.zone 6 hours ago
I have dirt! I now cannot leave (in the car) until I move said dirt off the driveway.
I have done the mowing of the front yard, so plan of attack for today is to also mow the back yard, then put down fertiliser on the front, gypsum and fertiliser at the back, then start shovelling dirt from front to back. The nature strip and back yard will also be getting new grass seed as both have patchy grass with lot of gaps. It’s not expected to rain until Friday night (when I have to go to work again anyway) so I should be ok to take my time, but the sooner it is done the sooner I can put my feet up and congratulate myself on a job well done.
But first, breakfast.

shovelling dirt
Don’t envy you.
I always make the mistake of trying to move it quickly.

Looks like the view from my lounge room is changing today, they are knocking down the old windbreak cyprus across the road. Hopefully they are leaving the few natives that are interspersed in a few spots. I think I’ll now be able to see some distant hills and trees over the far side of the paddock, at least for a few years until they build houses in the way (and if I’m still here at this point I should have my own garden grown up so I won’t be looking at just fences anyway). It would be a much nicer view if the colourbond back fence wasn’t mostly in the way.

Gone Girl is such a fucked up movie but very cleverly written. 3/5.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 8 hours ago
The twist was so beautifully executed. And yes, so so so fucked up. I hated the ending though, it made me so angry. (I read the book first and act 2 had me sitting there with my mouth hanging out). Movie got bonus points for the sheer audacity of showing NPH

(fake) penis.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 7 minutes ago
I haven’t read the book, but it sounds like its ending made more sense. Rather than the audience feeling sorry for Ben Affleck’s character.

back pain update
Woke up very sore this morning so decided it was time to see a GP (had only seen a physio before). As the pain is not worsened by pressing down in the sore area, the GP suspects something deeper than a muscle issue. Got a blood test and x-ray done and some pain meds prescribed, now we wait. I am a little worried about how this is escalating, I really hope it’s nothing serious but better to be safe than sorry. I have a physio appointment tomorrow but not sure I will go, I think I want to rule out a deeper issue via the GP first.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 28 minutes ago
So glad you’ve gone to a GP and I hope you get answers quick! In the mean time may the meds give you some relief, but still don’t push it! I’d skip the physio until you’ve spoken to the GP again.
