Ventured into the city to check out the new train stations and have a general wander around. Love the new stations!! Topped off with a delicious ramen meal from a place we hadn’t tried yet.

Can’t write all that without mentioning the name of the ramen joint.
How rude.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 days ago
That’s true, very rude of me! Hakata Gensuke, it was really yum!
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Thinking of doing this with the kids, especially while pt is free on weekends
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Highly recommend! We really enjoyed it. Some of the elements of the stations made us think we were in a video game.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
PT was not busy at all today, so that was cool.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Yeah! There was a decent amount of people gawking along with us, but it was cool to see!

Guinea pigs sleep with their eyes open. It’s creepy. I thought there was casualties.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I did not know that.
it would freak me if I saw it 👀
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Time for a beer or 2 🍺

The lifts in my building are both broken. Again.
I’ve got my six year old niece’s birthday party to get to, and no idea when I’ll be able to leave the house. For fuck’s sake
Benny@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I’m sorry to hear, I hope they’re fixed for good quickly :(
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
so many hugs
and call fire brigade, this is not acceptable

I was unable to stay awake longer than 10:30 last night and only just woke up now. I guess I needed a major catch up sleep!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I have the best marketplace story.
Make plans to meet a dude at 7-11 about 15 mins from my house at 10am.
I’m waiting and this hardcore crackhead on a pushy carrying a literal kitchen sink rolls past, takes one look at me and rides off.
Fucking crackheads lol

home from shopping, got a nice little aussie art book, some nice tucker, beads for doing beading which I find very relaxing, the Air cd I got wasn’t actually Air, just some new age rubbish ( lol ) but otherwise a fruitful day
and also am now changed and showered after unknowingly sitting on a damp seat on the train
just finished my second bottle of craft brewed bundy, bundy creamy soda
might have fish and chips for dinner

love these guys since the first cd
met them at the detroit edm festival in a bar, we had lots of beers, told jokes, put music on the jukebox and danced. I pretended I did not figure out who they were.
c’mon, french guys at the edm that looks exactly like them? lol

Vacuum cleaner really sucks. 10/10 would vacuum again.
It does a much better job than the old stick, possibly better than the plug in vacuum too. The auto emptying feature is amazing, you just hang it up on the charging station and it automatically vacuums the dust out into a bag in the tower without you having to do anything. I let it get to 90% charge before I tried it out and it didn’t have enough power to do the whole house, but I didn’t figure out how to put it on the low power mode (which is all it needs for the hard floor areas) until I’d nearly finished, so it shouild be fine to do the whole lot in future. And it has the second battery if I want to use the handheld to do other bits or to use the mopping attachment too. Once I get enough charge in the battery again I’ll try the mopping head out. It’s just damp spinning microfibre pads, so I can’t see how it could not work ok.
You can get a version that has a robot vacuum that docks underneath the tower, but after the nasty tail-tangling incident where a robot tried to eat my dog’s tail I don’t trust those things.
Taleya@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Ooo what model?
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 days ago
It’s an LG, 9x ultra2. I upsold myself quite a bit when I saw the auto emptying feature, I hate cleaning and then having to deal with a canister of dust and hair which invariably makes a new mess.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Laundry for me today, and maybe grocery shopping if I can be bothered. Also attempting to declutter, one small bit at a time.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I went down six flights of stairs to get to this party, and I’m having a lovely time
Eagle@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I hope its fixed by the time you get home so you don’t have to go up six flights of stairs…

My vaccuum cleaner came with a voucher for 10% of it’s purchase price, so I’ve just ordered a fancy red pair of Kitchenaid beaters. I’ve been resisting buying a pair when mine broke because I knew mum would have some she doesn’t need when she moved into the serviced apartment, but it turns out I really hate the ones she had - the beaters keep coming out while you are using it! I don’t know if they are faulty or really badly designed.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I’m in the doghouse. Went out to resow the dead cat grass, Melbcat slipped out when I was coming in and I had to wrangle her back inside. But that sun has a bite to it and it wasn’t a good time to be out.
Taleya@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Disrespect peasant! Gaol! Gaol for a thousand years!
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 days ago
The vacuum cleaner has been unboxed and put together ready to go. Now I have to wait for the battery to charge so I can actually try it out.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 days ago
You can try it out at my place if you want free of charge. I’ll even let you do all the rooms just to make sure it works.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Thanks for the kind offer, but I think I’ve got enough space to try it out here 😁
I’ve just installed the app - it is wifi connected so I can check on the battery charge level without leaving my seat, it will remind me when I need to clean filters and it monitors how much time I’ve used it for. Hopefully not in a creepy way.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 days ago
First. 🙂
Benny@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Good morning!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Good Second Morning. I am having Second Breakfast ( aka morning tea but it’s coffee and panettone toast )
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 days ago
We’ll get to the new train stations and west gate tunnel soon. One of the kids has been unwell so i think we might have a quiet one at home
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
hugs and get well soon kid 😽
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 days ago
We were up and down all night with him and he just fell asleep in the car going shopping so it’s for the best we stay close to home
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I just bought tickets to the jazz dance adaptation of The Great Gatsby because it want to see how tf they adapt something like that to dance. It will be a good reason to reread the book as I’m not a book rereader even though there are ones I’d like to revisit

Somewhere in this house is half a coffee. And yet, it seems to have disappeared into an alternate dimension.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Boyo are playing Traveller’s Rest and I think it’s going to eat up our entire holiday. I’m okay with that!

beach pictures
there were lots of Blue Bottles washed up yesterday, a few dozen, careful not to touch as they are venomous
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Yikes.
Apparently a beach in portsea was closed the other day b/c of blue bottles. A fair few sighted in ocean grove aswell.
What’s the go these days? are we still peeing on stings or good ol’ vinegar?
