My bread rolls are done.
Image A mixed batch with 2 hamburger buns (kept flat by putting a small loaf tin on top of them and two standard rolls. I also used a bit of dough to make some crackers, to go with some vegies and dip for snacks.

Perfectly browned
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 1 day ago
My choice was Guardians of the Galaxy. kidcalhoon2’s choice was Wicked 2… We’re about 1 hour in and you cannot convince me my choice wasn’t the better one.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 day ago
You inspired me to watch it now.
Just finished the game recently and got a hankering for the franchise.
Your choice wins
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Tonight’s hamburger was pretty good. I’ve never actually made proper hamburger buns before, I’m glad I worked out I can use my small loaf pan on top as a weight. It didn’t just make it flat, the weight made it a bit denser so it didn’t fall apart as I ate.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I love hearing about your bread making adventures :)
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 day ago
That’s good, because I like talking about them!

Finally got some more RAM and extra storage for the girlfriend’s laptop. Probably not the best deal in the world if i really hunted around but it’s done
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 days ago
more RAM
If you ever get married, I’d be writing up a Binding Financial Agreement lol.

The whole three months salary thing was made up by some memory compnay’s marketing department.

I got some second hand at an acceptable price. This laptop doesn’t need to be super spec’d out because aparently the battery is beginning to go on it as well

beach 🙂
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I managed to get out for a swim earlier and it was stunning - made even better by the dolphins that swam by. I absolutely squealed with delight!!
Enjoy your beach walk!

A group of crows are having a meeting on the telephone pole out front. I count at least 9 of them. Lots of discussion.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 days ago
A group of crows is a murder.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Guess I’m done for then. If go mysteriously silent, their planning succeeded.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I found where my huntsman is hiding out, he’s in the cupboard protecting my fabric rolls.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
excellent choice, he can get all the moths 👍🕷️
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 days ago
and he can get any web-spinning spiders that might try to take up residence in the little hole at the end of the fabric rolls. I think he’s a perfect sewing room pet.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 2 days ago
How generous of him
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I’m really tired and didn’t do much today. But I threaded my eyebrows and put the dishes to soak. Last night Melbcat asked me to cuddle instead of doing the folding so I might sneak more of that while she’s asleep.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Eyebrows alone are a big win. I recently acquired some eyebrow scissors, and let’s just say someone should’ve taken them off me.
And cuddles with Melbcat, sounds like a win for the Melba + Melbcat household, especially considering it was a low energy day.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Yeah, I did a thorough job and went over again with tweezers.
It’s so good to cuddle Melbcat. She has the softest thickest fur
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
too much internets has not been good for my mood regulation😕 the crazy thing is I would then go on internets to try to fix mood
I read someone watched a movie a day to help with that, thought it sounded like a good idea so I’m going to do that too. I have a stack of dvds I haven’t seen yet, after that I can watch the telly again.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Looking forward to the reviews
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Agreed, it’s a natural thing to do when you can’t be active or concentrate on craft/a book but it sure takes a claw hammer to your brain.
Maybe I need to buy a secondhand dvd player or playstation and actually use the secondhand tv
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 days ago
On a jasmine war. This time of year is when it gets really annoying and jumps through everything at lightspeed.
Looks nice, smells nice, but no thanks can’t be f’d leaving it too late again.
Weapon of choice is the kukri.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 days ago
In my previous place I had jasmine growing on a trellis that was far too small for it, on the side of the carport. I decided to replace it with something a little less exuberant, but it tooks years of cutting and poisoning before I could get rid of it.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Yea it’s so prolific. I hate using glyphosate but there’s no choise here (and I’ll still lose the battle probably).
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
jasmine is definitely lovely
at my last place I had bamboo and jasmine growing next to each other
jasmine would win, climbing up thru the bamboo and bringing it down
also, TIL a new word, kukri 👍
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 days ago
The kukri has become a fave garden tool surprisingly. It’s just quicker and keeps its edge dealing with the little stuff. Supposed to be an ornamental thing but it works very well.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Meal prep is well underway. Dough for rolls is rising, yoghurt is draining and filling for cottage pie is simmering. Now I just need to form & bake the rolls, do the potato topping for the pie and chop up five meals worth of salads in various forms.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Looking at Reddit.
There are not many subs now that haven’t had political posts/anti maga
that is incredible
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I caught a bit of the downhill skiing on tv, and wow they go fast! These people must have no fear.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I’m up. Yay

I didn’t get to sleep for a long time last night and didn’t drink enough fluid today. Eugh.
The black cat turned up at 3am so while Melbcat rested I slipped out to supply dry food (which isn’t good but seems preferred) and some pats. He was purring. Melbcat is still a bit quiet but has been having some of her dry food. I’ve booked a vet appointment and given her anti nausea meds just in case.

Also found out someone’s been using one of my emails for a sketchy Instagram page. I’ve already changed the password and have two factor authentication. No idea if they accessed it or if they’re just using the address without having confirmed it. Wondering if I should request a password reset and delete their gram or what else I should do
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
okay, more stuff to do with miss seagoon, brb
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I am glad I watched a movie today, I am much more chill
How Green Was My Valley, 1941, 5 Oscars
story told by a young boy of growing up in a coal mining town in late 19th C Wales
of his family, coal mining, and his community
this is an old movie and for me so very everyday
but then thinking back to the time it describes and when it was made, pro Welsh, pro union, and anti-intolerant religion it would have been very forward thinking, even shocking to some.
and in that regard it is a very good and important movie
It also looks great, all done on sets and lots and designed for black and white,
another thing, people really did look older
4/4 hobbits
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Thanks Seagoon.
…Awake due to feeling sick and it’s not even from drinking. Boo
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I hope you’re feeling better today, must be so frustrating to have so knees
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 day ago
It is! I’m not a good rester.
I hope your back and fingers are feeling okay
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 days ago
It’s my last day off before the nose is back to the grindstone, including a day working down in Melbourne. Today will therefore feature meal prep, washing and gerneral last day sadness. Just a couple more weeks to get through and I have 12 days off to do as I please. Very much looking forward to that.

Getting closer to being done.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
this is awesome
youse guys are champs
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 day ago
That looks mint
Plenty of hidey holes and places to sprawl out
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 day ago
That looks great!
Although you’ll probably get one kitty sleeping in one of those boxes at the back there after all that effort lol.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 day ago
That’s a given lol let them pick their box and they’ll get the accompanying pillow.
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 day ago
No worries mate. Look forward to seeing it inhabited, but everybody knows they won’t sleep in their assigned spots.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 day ago
So brilliant! It’s a cat palace. You and your helpers are awesome people.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Wonderful :) I love the pillows!!
