Thank you everyone for the kind words and wishes. The meeting with mother went fine, minimal narkiness. Dono dropped to the shelter and they were so excited by it that I just started crying. Am now home with wine, a whingey cat and a very, very kind and loving Boyo.

a goat horn
A what?
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Very sturdy chewable for a teething puppy
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 months ago
What kind of toy did you get Chook?
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Imagine a dinky little basketball hoop with a ball that fits it
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Seeing my mother today for the first time in over 5 years, so of course spent the night going over every possibly argument and guilt trip she’ll pull up. However, am taking Boyo, who she hasn’t met, so she’ll certainly be on her best behaviour.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 2 months ago
You don’t have to see her for another five years if she’s a dick about things.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Or ever

Some mothers are just… Ugh!
Sending you good vibes!!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Hope all goes well for you. :)
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 2 months ago
She can make her own choices about how to behave…but if she chooses to be shitty then that has a consequence, and it won’t be a reflection on you
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Every child deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a child. Hope it goes okay.

Big deep breaths. You are strong, capable, kind and loved despite her intentions to make you feel otherwise.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 months ago
This made me tear up, thank you 💜
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Seems like everyone has hurt themselves in some way today, so I’ll add to the pile.
Sharpened my chef’s knife yesterday and promptly cut myself as you do. This morning though it’s a really clean cut so the sharpening worked. Problem was I’d had a few glasses of wine before so it didn’t look very pretty.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I’m ok so far. 🤞
also, those really clean cuts seem to close up nearly instantly

Just parted with my mother who will be leaving Melbourne tomorrow at like 6am. Good times. Weather for her stay turned out so much better than anticipated. I’ve copped a moderate sunburn which I don’t mind at all because I’m probably vit D deficient normally - and dont mind some extra colour on my skin. Today we didn’t do much, roam around Albert Park lake, into Prahran to suss the market and get lunch, the home for a few beers on the balcony.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Sounds lovely . 😊
Taleya@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Good poisoning, so of course everyone is invitin me everywhere today for things i really want to do (ice skating with seldom seen nieces, friends belated b’day because he’s been caring for his mother after chemo, most likely last every anniversary bash for local pub as their building is slated for demo)

Went out for breakfast and had to combine tables to fit everyone so our table was the funny 6 7 number

I scored some retro tech at a garage sale. Some beats by dre, a teac hand held combination disc plyer tv , a small clock radio. $30.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 months ago
That’s a good haul
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
the beats are old school, cable only , I’ll put new ear covers on for hygiene, otherwise perfect
the tv and disc player needs a power adapter, I think I have one that fits
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Sprained my foot. I wrapped it because I’m not going to be goddamn bed bound today, pinky toe ligament be damned
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
take care of that

Hopefully by the time I come back on here, I will have done at least one section of my assignment.

If I manage to catch this chungas marsupial it will become slippers. There are zero leaves on my rose bush 🤬

Is it possible to buy or make a mini greenhouse? Just to shut potted plants inside at night
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 months ago
That was on the Aldi agenda, then the crud landed
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
it’s in a pot.
Take it inside and feed it up, it will regrow
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I just purchased a single (1) sweet potato. It has the approximate dimensions of a newborn human

“yum, this chocolate sorbet is delicious, so creamy, nicer than the vegan hazelnut flavour one”
looks at label :( Contains milk. luckily I only had a few spoons, took an antihistamine to be safe
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Slept better than the night before last night. A win is a win.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Morning all. I’m off to the market…requests?
