Stripped the last banister, and destroyed my hands despite wearing gloves for 95% of the time. Maybe now we can get the bloody stairs finished and take down all the wall masking

Yyyeessss…NYE late night party plans have changed due to small kids needing sleep. So a couple of us will go out for early drinks then I will pack them home by 9/10ish. Sweet

Someone had a numberplate that said “Victoria: The Pothole State”.
Also overheard someone at the beach say Melbourne is like Sydney’s uglier sister (they said Melbourne was a 2/10), but it made up for its looks with its personality. Interesting.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Gotta agree with the pothole comment; around here I see the same bad bits of roads getting bodgy patchups year after year. Same near work. Colleagues of mine who live in different areas say the same thing of their suburbs. Honest question, why are we so bad at fixing roads now? Did something change? 🤔
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Only caring about looks, such a Sydney attitude.
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Cannot agree if the are talking central CBD type areas. Sydney is so claustrophobic and grey.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I like our CBD better than Sydney’s but they have nicer beaches imo
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Have they actually spent time here?
even the worst places have some beautiful parks and open spaces
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
No clue.
I agree, and think that’s why people live in dingy places. They also might have not choice, stay out of convenience or not know any better.

I decided to clean the house as though someone was going to move in.
Yeah… There’s a lot to do.

Nothing better than a shirtless hot man doing the vacuuming. 🔥
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
How about a shirtless man in arseless chaps vacuuming the hard to reach places?

The girlfriend is spending today cleaning the house. I’m helping but I’d rather not spend one of my days off without the kids doing housework, especially when we have someone at home that could be doing this cleaning all year round
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Yeah nah. You do the cleaning after. 😉
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
The kids are in care because they’re having a messy day today. I asked what she wanted to do and the response was pretty much go straight home, spend all day cleaning, then we can go pick up the kids who will just make a mess again.
I’d rather not spend all day cleaning when her mother lives with us and spends all her time at home when the kids are not around on her iPad in front of the TV

No specialist appointments available until February so the January procedure might be off 😢 I’ve asked to go on the cancellation list

So got a message from my best friend in high school. We haven’t spoken in years after a bit of a falling out, and then it just fizzled. It’s been so long since I’ve spoken to her that I’ve kind of forgotten what we had fought about. We were super co-dependent on each other, but I think now we would have both done the work because she’s on the way to becoming a psychologist. I know my sister is not happy about me catching up with her though. Intrigued

Beach done…last of Christmas icecream consumed for breakfast. Afternoon is haircut and car wash.
Also I appear to have been co-opted into a social new year’s eve with the out of town family. No CBD or crowds but still I do very much like my NYE tradition of quietly going to bed early then early morning beach. It’s nice to have family here…but…feeling a bit conflicted.

So begins week 2 of 3 of my annual leave.
Let’s see what levels of sloth I can get up to this week.
Wish I didn’t keep waking up at 6:30am though :(
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Ugh same! Every day awake before 7am!

I shared my turkey dinner with Bill Cat. He loved it and is in turkey food coma now. 😸.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
My GFs cat went bonkers for left over turkey. I’m glad my dog isn’t that pushy.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Bill didn’t ask at all, he never asks for the food I’m having. I gave him some.
Eagle@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Turkey is said to contain a chemical that aids sleep, so snooze away Bill cat.

The order: Moving mulch -> gerni the ground -> beach -> get semi naked -> flex my midnight snack beach bod -> sunburn -> have regrets.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Sleeping all day was not the best idea. This time of year is topsy turvy and a massive depression hole.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I had a basket of repairs. Looked at all the items carefully. I never missed them, don’t need them, the op shops are full to bursting with items of clothing, so I chucked them in the bin.
That was a tiny little burden off my mind. Every little bit helps.
Hope all your calls and such go well. 😽
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
You’re right, I just stress about being wasteful. 😢
I am tempted to do this

Put on a new fitness watch yesterday afternoon and it told me that today was a stressful day (went paddle boarding and grocery shopping). I can’t wait to see how it handles me being back at work.

TV Review.
Cousin asked me to sit with her and watch Bookish, a newish BBC period detective series
watching I was, "Gees, that’s just like all the places I used to hang out in Brussels ". Well, I looked it up, it was filmed in those places, lol.
Actually, I don’t like this series, I think it’s structure is confusing. There is no one to be the eyes and ears for the audience. Mystery is nice, don’t get me wrong, but in a detective show the mystery is the crime. Introduce us to the characters and then if the main character is meant to be a mystery too then let another character learn about them.
also, the crime mystery is very very easy to figure ( tho not for cousin )
This is written by Gattis, maybe he’s just messing about with new things 🤷♀️
2 hobbits because maybe I missed the point
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
so thinking, the mystery is “who is Book and his wife and why are they doing what they do” rather than the crimes
still, I think they messed up the POV

SituationCake@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I watched Pluribus. It’s an interesting premise. I liked it but also found it frustrating. Mainly because the main protagonist is dumb and self absorbed, probably as a plot device to keep the mystery mysterious. Any semi normal person would have asked a lot more questions about the situation. Also didn’t like that too much was left unanswered at the end of the show. I get that they need to leave plot lines open for a season 2, but basically nothing was resolved. 3/5.

Solo tv dinner flicking through YouTube led me to this Water slide video.
I’ll offer a few points
a) this is insane b) what’s the inspection system on a thing like that, seriously?! c) how often does a panel crack? Or even get out of whack? e) where is all the water coming from, cos that thing is pretty flush f) WTAF
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
That thing is crazy pants. The views are insane but I agree hard core with all points.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Beach time this morning was utterly glorious! The water was perfect and so beautiful. Pity about the tiny dicks on jet skis.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
omg I hate the noisy engine people so much.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I don’t like when they are at swimming beaches, at boat beaches is fine.
