Bought Mickey a mini cat tower (like a pedestal really lol), and a scratch mat. He’s had the zoomies since,

I got picked for this karaoke competition at this place Stay Gold in January.
Kind of exciting!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Always found it funny w/ my old kitty that she’d just sit there whilst I was making a god awful distorted mess of a choon completely unfazed.
Then as soon as you play a video w/ a kitty noise she’d freak the f out.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Same! If I watch any kind of random cat clip on my phone she high tails it the fuck out of there real fast lol
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
What a shmexy guitar and a beautiful cat!
Yay for the karaoke competition!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I leave in a few days and I’m scared shitless, but also super excited! I’ll get to see my friend after a year apart, experience some cold weather, see snow and eat one of my favourite cuisines. Time to start packing.
tone212_@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Eeee so excited for you! The fear is normal, once you are at the airport and checked in, you’ll feel great about your decision.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
you can do this 😸
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I am so excited for you and cannot wait to get updates!!! Have the BEST time!! Don’t be scared, you are amazing, you are having an epic adventure and whatever goes haywire becomes a cool story!!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Thank you! Will update you all for sure
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
So.
The deep clean continues.
2 hours to clean the fridge and it is fucking spotless.
I’m never letting it get this bad again.
StudChud@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Waiting for this cool change to come before deciding if I want to go out. Terrible sleep even under the aircon, so I’m not feeling very motivated at all.
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Rat trap has gone off. No deceased rodent. Time to sacrifice some of the precious peanut butter.

We did the new train stations today. If you’re looking for a nice morning out go to West Footscray station where you can catch the new trains straight through to all the stops, get off at ANZAC station so you can see at least one of them, then go across the road to the Kettle Black for something to eat.
I’ve been meaning to go there for years and it was worth the trip.
And then of course you jump on a train and head right back again
_miss_cellophane_@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
That is such a good idea! Every time I’ve driven past that cafe I’ve thought it would be lovely to go, but too hard to find a park to drive to.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’m editing all the beach pics I took this year. Will do a small slide show of the best later. 🌞🐚🌴

Left the house at 6:45. Got a camera alert a couple of hours later of movement in the house, and surely enough, dog was caught peeing on the couch. It’s always when we aren’t home or at night he goes inside. He knows to go outside every other time, and has his own door.
My mum thinks he’s doing it out of spite because he’s being left alone. Perhaps he just doesn’t like going outside when no one’s home because he has to keep watch if anyone comes in. Who knows.
All I know is that I shall buy him belly bands.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Dogs don’t do spite. Not feeling safe to go outside when no one is there is much more likely.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
This
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
time for new sofas and plastic coverings
and pee pads in the laundry for the dog if he doesn’t want to go outside
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Yep.
Will be suggesting the pee pad idea. We just sold the baby gate we used to use to keep him out of parts of the house because we didn’t need it. Now we do
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
They make dog nappies (is that what belly bands are?). My SIL had an incontinent old dog that wore them in the house all the time. Definitely beats cleaning up messes
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Uuuuuurghhhhh
Might be aircon all night.

Got home and opened all the windows. The cool change is very welcome.

Loving the bird and tree piccys in particular :)
SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
My favourites are the bird and the patterns in the sand.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Nice. The second one is my favourite, and I always like the ones that show repeating patterns, like the sand and mussels.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I like the mussels one a lot. I shoulda taken many more to get the right composition.
it’s stripes of different natural colour and texture.
Blue black rock, white tube worms, blue black mussels, green sea lettuce, sand colour sand
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Ughhh had a hot flush so bad it triggered the whole “blow the hatches!” Autonomic response last night. Yes. Sweating a pool on the toilet tiles while i desperately try not to shit mysef is exactly how i wanted to spend my holidays. /s
~didn’t even get to have me some illegal fun first to cause it~
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Baby beans asked to be lifted up on the chair and is snoozing. Normally she jumps but I guess she feels like taking it easy right now.
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Sometimes a kitty wants to be pampered
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
hot, tired

imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Despite the clouds and sunscreen I do believe I copped a bit of colour. Was a nice morning for it. Got cajoled into the cold cold sea by one of the family younguns and it was lots of fun. Am tired. Time for book and early night.
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Why is all the garlic so shit at the moment? Expensive and none of it dried properly. goes funky in record time.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Might be out of season? They only had imported one at my supermarket, agree it was shit.
Taleya@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
weather went shit right when the bulbs were doing their final ripening. Fucked my harvest. I’m still aggro about it
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
The new beaters arrived, so I had to make a test cake (which is now in the oven). They worked well, although Mr Woof was concerned about the noise of them hitting the side of the bowl and evacuated to the backyard for safety. But he does that for just about everything 🤣
Pilk@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
its me, your test cake taste tester
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Pakige! My new beaters are waiting at my front door for me. That was a really quick delivery, I wasn’t expecting them to arrive for a few days.

just a quiet day today but still got some things done 🙂
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Trip to the beach this morning was interrupted by another car trying to do a u-turn into mine. Thankfully no one was hurt, but my poor little Beastie car is messed up :( letting insurance deal with it, we’ll see whatever they decide.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Oh no! Glad you’re ok. Bad time of year for crash repairs, probably lots of places are closed. Hopefully you don’t have to wait too long.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Thankfully Boyo has a car and I can easily get lifts to work if need be. Not the end of the world but would love a quick answer all the same!
Eagle@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Oh no! Hopefully a quick repair for you.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Thank you! Genuinely not sure if insurance will pick write-off or repair, but whatever it is it is. If it’s write-off off, I’ll pick a cheaper car going forward! If repair, then may Kaelas (named after a character in my favourite book series) and I have many more adventures together! And overall may the person who turned into me not try and blame me and not make the same mistake!
