  Someone stole all the ripe chilies off my plants 😭

    It might not be a neighbour, I had all my chilis stolen overnight by a rat a couple of years ago. I blamed possums initially, but then I found the rat’s nest in a pile of timber and it was stuffed full of chilies 🤣

  Just gave away our old Plasma TV on Gumtree to a young couple. I’m really happy to see it go to a new home and not the recycle center. It has life left in it, and it represents a time of transition in my life.

  So the development going on out the back of mine used to be an old tip. Way back for decades people would just throw anything in.

  Just got a visit from an abstestos removal company saying there’s a significant amount in there and that they’ll be removing it.

  The outfit developing it has already upended the soil (a significant amount) and the people who were doing it didn’t have any gear on.

  If I were the people doing that excavation and sifting (so a lot of dust) I’d be proper pissed off.

  Had they asked locals if they thought there would be a risk of contamination, everyone would’ve said yes.

  Instead these days there’s no community consultation with these developments, always shrouded in secrecy, environmental reports not being released etc.

  Fuck those developers. And the council. At least do some due diligence and let the workers there know exactly what they’re pulling up for their own safety.

  And to top it off they’re trying to sell the ~500sqm blocks for $1m+. If I were in the market for one I’d be soil testing the shit out of that dirt.

  thank you for listening to my rant.

    Can I suggest you keep your doors and windows closed. Hose down your driveway and paths. Wipe everything in your house down with wipes. Switch on air filters in your house, if possible have the air current draw away from where you spend most time. Even your vacuum cleaner can help as it has filters.

  Sitting on the train, I’m quite late to work,
  Held up at the chemist, twas full of jerks.
  Sitting on the train, the clocks are ticking,
  I should have just chucked a sickie.

  I ran for the train at Spencer Street, as there are delays and weirdly I’d catch it earlier than usual due to timings… Only for it to go to Flinders and then back to Spencer and then onwards.

  Anyone know why trains aren’t doing the loop? I mean I don’t mind because the loop adds time to my trip anyway, just curious if there “police activity” in the loop or something lol

    A downvote?? I didn’t think my question was contentious lol

    • Pilk@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Not contentious, but easily answerable by looking at the metro trains Twitter.

    I used to have to travel to Footscray for uni all my connecting trains ran straight from flinders to spencer and vice versa.

    On public holidays I was always forced to use a train to take the loop and also weekends as well.

    I think also what happens is that some trains that go north bound will be forced into the loop.

    That’s all I know from my experience.

  I went to the free food market (which distributes food being thrown out from Supermarkets etc.) this morning, and got a piece of cheese that looks like the same type as a really nice unlabeled piece I got there a couple of months ago, but this time it has a label. It’s a truffle infused goat cheese, normally priced at $60 a kg. Being able to say that instead of “mystery white cheese” will make my dishes sound much fancier 🙂 I also got some brussels sprouts and some chicken to roast which I’m looking forward to, and even picked up a couple of packets of mince for Mr Woof. Definitely a worthwhile trip.

  Still 30 degrees outside but I feel comfortable. Dry weather is just so much more bearable.

  Going to be a tough day, chronic illness playing up. Time to put on the happy face for work. Hope the cat is prepared for lots of non consensual hugs today….

  Taxes done for last financial year…the new methods of calculating and claiming WFH leave a lot to be desired.

  Yaaay. I have the house to myself today. Can just relax.
