    Here is some monkey tax and more. I think if I’m equipped with a pair of gloves next time, I’ll be a winter convert. It’s not always dull and grey.

    Imagine its 4am

    You wake up to the wardrobe door slooooowly opening.

    You just woke up from a dream so you’re fucking panicking because what the fuck is going on.

    Then the cat walks out of the wardrobe

    Ted Report.

    Ted has lost 1.25 kg in the past year, which is excellent. Vet was very happy.

    But he was so stressed he couldn’t get vaccinated. So he has some sedative to take and will get vaccinated next week.

    poor little guy

    and Miss Seagoon found out his full name is Theodore, he’s not just Ted.

    Already planning Australia Day. Think I’ll celebrate with a pint of VB (not my usual tipple) and a read of The Lucky Country.

    source
    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I’m going to celebrate by finishing off a night shift at 7am, sleeping as much as I can, then going back in the evening to start another shift at 7pm.

    Resident magpie used the birdbath finally 🐦‍⬛ -> 💦 -> 👏.

    Stood there, watched me fill it up, something clicked, jumped in.

    source
    • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Might be the smell of fresh water or the splashing sounds that triggered it. But now that it knows, you’ll have a regular visitor! I have a couple of magpies that visit my bird bath. One of them only ever drinks, the other one likes to get in and splash around. Only worry I have is the water heats up a lot on hot days, so I try to go change it out in the afternoons if it’s a hot day.

    Good morning. I’m pleased to wake and find the effects of the muscle relaxants have finally worn off. What a shit 24hrs. Headache, grogginess and nausea.

      Those things are either make you feel like floating on air, or like the worst hangover.

    Is there a mint shortage? Fresh is hardly there and I’ve been looking for dried in between marjoram and mixed herbs for yonks now. If there is a shortage then shit is dire.

      My local Coles had fresh mint in the sleeves a few days ago. If you can substitute with peppermint ( stronger flavour?) then maybe pour out the content of a couple of peppermint tea bags, or loose leaf peppermint tea?

      source
      • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Nah I don’t think it would work. I like using the dried for salad dressing, crumbed lamb cutlets, cucumber soup etc. It’s handy to have in the cupboard. The fresh I use in cold drinks and in salads.

        source
    • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      First I’ve heard of it. Piedmonte’s still has it in little plastic containers. Don’t recommend Psarakos as their herbs are always a bit tired.

    Oh no, someone who went to the Stop Making Sense show left their vinyl slip mat on their train seat when they got up. Is it worth handing into lost property at the station when it opens? How would you even let someone know to ask?
