    Have the sads. Went out and picked up a giant Aldi tiramisu. Cos at least then it’s sads but with tiramisu.

      Italian desserts are a proven cure for sads of all sorts.

      Hope your weekend is good and devoid of fuckwits.

        Thank you. Just the break from work is a relief.

    • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Hugs 🫂.

      A little suggestion for next time. When you grab the tiramisu also get a can of whipped cream too cos together the both of them make you forget bad shit.

      Did it drip on anything brewing?

        separate side of the underhouse, not in brewery. Wet joists though, so i have a blower going from above, fans from below and humidifier at ground zero. I don’t know how fucking long it was leaking though.

    My gentleman caller swung by for a drink of water so I brought out some food in a disposable bowl.

    spoiler

    He was excited for pats and hungry but couldn’t finish the whole pouch. I managed to get a feel of his spine and that boy is knobbly. A few little bald patches in thin fur. And by the snuffly snorty nose, the occasional sneezes, and the creaky meow he might have an upper respiratory infection. He was breathing huffily in excitement while being patted so I think so. He finished eating and wandered a distance away to wash so I left the remainder out there. I came inside but removed my shoes at the door, and then washed my hands and clothes and showered to prevent bringing any diseases back to Melbcat.

    Melbcat is being both clingy and sulky. Welcome home cheater.

        I’m now trying to think if I can get him to the vet (as they won’t treat an animal they haven’t seen). But I don’t want risk sending him to the shelter

    Happy thank-fuck-that-week’s-over-day-time-hour day… 🍻

    Here’s a new choon. Last single before album goes out in 2 weeks (still gotta finish it lol 😅). This track has main-character-energy and a self indulgent guitar solo. Good summer bop. Enjoy! on.soundcloud.com/QmO18X2t0URB1ulcZp

    Anyone else feel a bit weird seeing their pet listed with a surname? Vet yesterday went a level odder and was addressing them as Sir.

    source
    • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I thought vets always did it to be cute but it probably helps line up animals and owners in their system.

      It’s extra funny when a pet is called something stupid because the last name then makes it sound so formal

      source
      • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Totally makes sense systemwise, they some linking that isn’t a stupid randomnumber

        source
    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      That’s extremely cute.

      Melbcat used to have a compounding pharmacy deliver her meds by mail, and it was addressed to her with my last name. Like, that’s right, that’s my adopted daughter. Who is practically people

    I’ve been outside and I don’t like it.

    source
    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I went outside early to water the garden, and hung my heated throw rug on the line to dry. That was definietly enough outside for the day, although Mr Woof would prefer more. He will have to be content with walking himself around the garden if he wants outdoors time. Both he and Miss Meow are more tolerant of the heat than I am, they’ve both been voluntarily spending time outside.

      • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        My little dog likes to bake on the porch mat. When he’s had enough he’ll stroll inside panting and weezing and then dramatically flop down in front of the fan. He’ll repeat that a few times a day.

    Just got back to melbs. Forgot keys, left the spare inside.

    I am clever.

    Got in how I used to as a naughty kiddo when sneaking back in late (up a ladder on to the roof into 2nd story bathroom). Lot harder than it used to be lol.

    Going to a jungle gig tonight though which should be a good boogaloo. Show the kiddos how it’s done (after a nap, some ibuprofen and voltaren).

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    What do you do with your pets when you want intimate time solo or with a partner? Shoo them out and shut the door or let them watch?

    My dog is not allowed in my bedroom at anytime so he sits outside of the door moaning.

    source
    • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      When we had our cat (RIP), she was locked in the garage. Too far from the boudoir to hear the noise.

      With the dog (RIP) stairs we’re blocked off and he slept all the time.

      In other words. Don’t worry. They don’t know.

    Egg eaters among us - how do you like your eggs? Runny, medium, or set yolk?

    I personally like a medium egg.

    source
    • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I was boiling eggs this morning and thinking I should ask this!!

      I’m all about a runny yolk.

      source
    • Eagle@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      However it comes. But like CEO, hard yolks are only for hard boiled eggs.

      I’m not a huge egg person, but I will smash a loafed omelette

      medium, just cooked, never over cooked

    • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Runny! And preferably poached. Eggs set hard give me a headache for some reason.

        i kinda have to agree, eggs are delicious

        source
    • JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Depends, if its a fried egg for like breakfast then hard, but if its in a burger then probably hard.
      If it was on nasi goreng, has to hard or in a phad thai, hard.
      If its a toad-in-the-hole its gotta be hard.
      However if its boiled for curried egg sandwiches or ramen noodles, i prefer hard.
      If its just the yolk over steak tartare, raw.

      source
    • SaneMartigan@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Sunny side up for breakfast. Gooey yolk hard boiled for ramen. Poached if I’m paying for it.

      source
    • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Fried - set yolk and crispy edges OR flipped with a semi runny yolk. Poached - runny yolk but the whites have got to be set. Scrambled & omelette - creamy and semi liquid. Coddled - runny yolk. In shakshuka and huevos rancheros, as per poached.

    My mum told me my sibling’s passport was not in the lock box when I got mine out a few weeks ago. She last used it for a work thing. She’s gone through her place and ours and nothing. Asked her to check work, also nothing.

    The suspense is killing me. Where is this passport?

    I will check the lock box myself tomorrow and see if it’s just camouflaged in there.

    Checking out prices on shade sails and shade cloth between sites. I’m hoping I can work out something to shade the cat’s nook and my window.

    Oh cool. Kmart has a submersible solar fountain pump… for cheap… but I don’t have a pond or anything like that, that’s rich people stuff. Plastic tubs deteriorate in UV and are a drowning hazard for wildlife, and I kind of don’t want to accumulate even more stuff in a small rental.

    I’ve been struggling with the homepage of the website for ages. I only just found out there’s a template that overrides the homepage for some reason. At least I can edit that template, but it means I can’t just build another homepage in the background and switch them out when I feel like it. I’m going to see if it’s possible to deactivate it in the template
