Wondering if I should start masking again because the Super K strain has resulted in an earlier flu season and easier transmission. Of course I’m getting the shot but still.
I really don’t feel like getting seriously sick

do it, especially if you take public transport or go to crowded places
I see lots of people with masks on, it’s no biggie

That’s the kitten shed? Dude. We can do this
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 46 minutes ago
Yep it is. Once I get the fake grass in there the space will be ready
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 hours ago
Ohh so jealous. That would be perfect for fostering cats, or an art or music studio
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 44 minutes ago
def be a nice art studio, look at that great window for light and all the space for desks, easels and shelves
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 hours ago
I know it’s for kitties now but I’d absolutely use that space as a music studio lol.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 hours ago
I’ve ignored it this whole time because I use one of the rooms inside as a studio. But you’re onto something lol
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 5 hours ago
Lol. Banned again for inciting violence when recommending self-defence methods. No wonder people are starting to use infantile replacement words. OK_Work7396 you had a good run.

I’ve been wanting to post wondering why there aren’t huge mobs with pitchforks outside the WH
because the epstein files dropped and seriously, what would take , there’s murder and child sex auctions in the files, where is the line?

Be sure to use Ned Flanders language or you risk a ban.

Meal prepping day. I bought myself some silicone food moulds (souper cube ripoffs) for Christmas which has been excellent for portion control. This week I will be mostly eating eggplant parmigiana (made 2x2cup serves baked in the same silicone tray i will freeze them in), instant pot shredded chicken (will freeze in half cup serves), a giant baked vege plus fetta plus chickpea roasted tray to pop in the fridge. I have salad bits and silverbeet and some fresh basil and mint too. I need to remember to put some yoghurt on overnight and that plus blueberries plus LSA is breakfast.

It is yum. Tired no but I find it easier to do a batch then not have to spend spoons on food thinking during the week

Same. I might do a bit of garden tidy today. It’s cool enough to be outside, and weeds anre easier to pull out when the soil is damp.

For @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone
Couldn’t find the pic with both objects at the same time. Hope the jumper is hideous nous for you.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 hours ago
My opinion
Pic 1: Bonus points for the textured koala. The ugly shit our parents dressed us in ay? I can’t talk I owned a pair of brown corduroy knickerbockers with gold trim.
Pic 2: I see a lot of hard work and dedication went into the rug. I’m not gonna shame that. I am curious about at what stage the creator thought “this would make a great floor rug for in front of the telly”.

Just finished my Lord of the Rings listen. It’s been YEARS since I read the books and the audiobooks are so good. Coming back to it as an adult I see so much more subtlety - as a kid I never understood why there’s half a book of stuff after they destroy the ring. But now I do, so many war books never deal with coming home and what that does to people.
But now I am a bit sad 😢
Anyway 5 out of five hobbits. Stay tuned for more cutting edge early reviews 🤣
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 11 hours ago
The books are just so emotional, I find myself crying all the time, now I’m crying again ( it’s that ptsd again, fuck terrorists )
StudChud@aussie.zone 12 hours ago
Tolkien drew on his experiences of WWI and it really shows in the relations between Samwise and Frodo, but also in the scouring of the shire. That, yes you may have survived, but the effects will follow you for the rest of time. That coming home, doesn’t mean it’s the home you remember. Everytime we go to war, the world changes.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 11 hours ago
Yeah I keep realising how much of my life philosophy was grounded in stuff like LOTR even if I didn’t fully understand why. Pretty sure the Ents radicallised me! I think I was more upset by the scouring of the shire than anything else this time. Hit different at 50 then it did at 10.

My husband is doing the mowing and I’m perving out the window. So hot with his hat, eye protection, ear protection, hi vis shirt, puffy vest, fluorescent orange shoe laces. 🔥
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 hours ago
I thought it was traditional to mow the lawn wearing thongs
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 8 hours ago
thongs
You’ll have to clarify which sort.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 13 hours ago
I was this close to going for a bike ride, then I heard the bedroom door slowly open. One of the kids woke up and no one else is up to watch him.
I want to try do more normal bike rides when I can and not just ride the ebike to work a few days a week
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 13 hours ago
Worst night’s sleep in a long time. I doubt I’ll make pride march today.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 12 hours ago
I saw an email about the march last week and for some reason my brain just decided it was in March, so I didn’t realise it was today. It’s nice that the universe provided it’s support with cooler weather for marching in!

Installing kubuntu on an old laptop as win10 is dying. Asking for a BIOS password. Messaged the seller from four years ago and his random guess was it. Fantastic.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 26 minutes ago
I heard Fedora has some arrangement with Microsoft as well. I think you can install it on BIOS locked computers as well. Handy to know if you’re ever in this situation again
