  Have ventured out to the bin. Definitely enough outside for today.

    I ventured out to retrieve my bins. One empty, one not 😡. Also when I opened my gate I was confronted by a stuffed toy elephant which was unexpected.

  Call centre job app update: their clanker AI kept getting pinged as spam by my pixel and they didn’t tell me what number they were calling from lol, so they just sent me a request to book a phone interview with a real person.

  Should get a call in an hour or so.

  This is how we show those wirebacks and Altman tech cunts that we don’t want AI like this lol

  Made fried rice and added too much soy sauce. Added an extra egg, some rice wine vinegar and some mango and I think those things saved it! Yay!

    Sadly no winding down for me, I get to just keep working as normal (but better paid, yay penalty rates!) The weather is planning to cool down a bit again though which is a bit of a bonus and hopefully it means work won’t be too busy. If people can just keep their bbqs and spit roasts under control and not run into things in their cars it should be a fairly relaxed day (and it’s casual dress so I get to wear my Christmas t-shirt and antlers).

      Some silver linings at least.

      I’m guessing you work in emergency services?

  Crochet is not amusing anymore… current thing been sitting somewhere for ages, and was started with the unraveled yarn from another project I got bored with. Guess I burned out on crafting over lockie dees. Maybe I should rip it and start again with doubled strands and a bigger hook, to work up faster and destash more quickly.

  Question is do animal shelters actually accept handmade blankets? And more to the point will I even finish one…

  My body is so tired but my brain won’t rest.

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    You could make beanies for the upcoming winter. Beanies are cool because you can practice different stitches and designs with them. They work up fast and can eliminate that boring “every line is the same” feeling so many patterns out there.

    When it gets cooler you could drop them off at your local charity.

    BTW what size hook are you using?

    source

    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I’d have to check because I sized down due to my tension being too loose

      I could try? The strangest thing is I have a knack for knitting socks and can do those without a pattern but beanies always do something weird

  Neighbour is continuing his tradition of being a fuckwit on hot days.

  Earlier this year, when we had the 4 day heatwave (January perhaps), he decided to dig up and replant his lawn.

  Today he’s wearing overalls and sanding paint on his car. Outside. In full sun.

  I played my Christmas playlist the other day and I got complaints it was putting people to sleep. Today I’ve had my Slut Pop playlist I’ve spent too much time curating running for an hour and no complaints. Interesting.

  source

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    A few examples of your Slut Pop playlist please.

    source

    • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Look up these artists and all the similar artists on their profiles: Cobrah Kim Petras Ayesha Erotica Slayyyter Vana Only Fire Scene Queen Diamond Doll xo Ramsey Moxifloxi Ashnikko Princess Nokia Brooke Candy

      And then not entirely Slut Pop but I felt fit the vibe were a few of these: Perturbator Gunship HEALTH Magnavolt MASTER BOOT RECORD Deftones Carpenter Brut

      And then whatever other music you think would be ‘sexy’ from there

  I have to venture into the blazing sun for an appointment which I am not happy about, but it will be my first time in the Metro Tunnel so that makes up for it. They don’t really make it seamless during this trial period, the usual train and Metro Tunnel train do not overlap at all. 15 mins wait at West Footscray to change over.

  So we are up to the last piece of the puzzle and it is nowhere to be found. But we did suspiciously find a piece of cardboard that is half shaped like the puzzle piece.

  My aunt’s dog is the suspect. We were ignoring her whilst we were doing the puzzle and I must have dropped the piece on the floor. She might have chewed it because she was bored. I wonder if we can email the puzzle company and they’ll send us another piece! That might involve cutting a whole puzzle though.

    A lot of puzzle companies do send out puzzle bits. I don’t know the protocol, maybe take a picture of the puzzle with the bit missing.

  Talking about roasts and such.

  I make roast chicken sometimes, and I glaze it with a honey, sesame, soy marinade, have it with home made gravy made from the pan , serve with rice and roast vegies

  for years every single time MIL would say, “when I made roast chicken” “or " my oven doesn’t work and I can’t cook chicken anymore”

  when she wasn’t there I asked husband about it cos i can’t remember her ever cooking anything

  He said never in his life did she roast a chook, not once.

  I haven’t done one for her for ages because the correct answer is, "thank you, that was nice ". Not insults and not complaints.

  Melbcat was yowling to go outside and get the birds… no, stay inside with the cooling I ran for you!

  I haven’t been notified of any substitutions in my grocery order so I think I am going to get my turkey this time. Christmas is saved! Or at least my plans to have a roast turkey some time after Christmas and cut up most of it to go in the freezer for future lunches is saved. Apparently I’m the only one in my family that likes turkey so I only get it if I do it myself.

  Lemmy age verification accepted

  Molly replied, my answer was officially recorded for age verification so all should be good. Poor Nath. I should have written something much shorter and better, just one or two obscure things. Just mentioning junket probably would have done it but I didn’t think to put that in there.

  Melbcat didn’t go out today because she would have become a roast chicken or a baked loaf. I just napped. Having so much physical fatigue lately it’s not funny.

  source
• Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Nearly done with all my tasks , just a little sewing

  then put away my music stuff, clean the dishes/kitchen

  and I think tomorrow I might sort thru my LPs and do a bit in the garden ( just weeding ) since I did tomorrow’s UnKAOS already
