@Seagoon_ I’ve got a flight coming up soon.
It’s not this week, it’s not next week, but it is the week after.
Too early to start packing?
I might buy a few things likes gifts for people early but packing, normally 30 minutes before the taxi arrives. 🤭
Does it feel unusually warm tonight? Feel like I’m boiling.
Meanwhile why are we still filling out paper customs declarations cards in Australia? Surely it’s the kind of thing that could be made available online (where it could be translated in multiple languages).
I know there’s data security to consider but they are probably already storing all sorts of data about departures and arrivals.
I think the purpose is to make you sign a declaration that you aren’t a crim or a terrorist or have been deported etc etc That way if you do some dodgy shit or have done some dodgy shit they can get you for that
Got home late today and just cannot be buggered moving all my plants around in the cold and dark. I know my landlord lives ages away so I’ll just do it tomorrow. I’ll definitely be leaving work at 4pm tomoz. Gotta head in early, so I’m leaving on time…
This week’s off to a much better start, less overwhelming, more under control. Much more even-keeled having regular hot non caffienated drinks through the day. Meantime I’m so immensely grateful I made all that food last week. Ripper lunch today and tomorrow, and more goodness for dinner. Gonna do a bittergourd and tvp stir fry tomorrow night I reckon.
Think I’ll have a go at trying to sleep without the phone tonight. I have a library book on ADHD I’ve been wanting to go through…
I don’t understand why people still approach you when wearing headphones…
Why?
To warn you you are about to walk in the path of a tram. ( I have even had to grab people )
I get that, but mine is never drastic.
Is always to ask me a question. All these people around without headphones… and I still get asked!
Well bugger. I think I’ve eaten some mouldy food today.
Two mini cupcakes in the morning and just now a bunch of stale biscuits that I didn’t look too hard at.
Pray for me.
I’m not sure but I think we are the only ape that doesn’t eat mould or mouldy food . It’s why we don’t have a blue food group. The only reason is that we are so good at finding food we don’t need to eat mouldy stuff. We can digest it, we just don’t have any appetite for it.
Off foods, such as dairy or meats are different and you shouldn’t eat those.
Does cheese count as mouldy food?
@Thornburywitch @Seagoon_ Some of the most delicious foods are basically mouldy (or at least use yeast or a culture of some kind).
Cheese, wine, bread, cake, yoghurt, kimchi…
And you probably don’t want to know how salami is made.
You might be surprised by what you can tolerate. Fingers crossed you don’t suffer too long!
I’m still alive!
Tummy was a bit funny before but I wonder if that was anxiety causing it.
Just ate some other stuff and I’m feeling ok now.
The gut is so complex like that. So much that is beyond just what we eat in the here and now… our state of mind, long term diet, past infections can do so much to our gut flora. I’m surprised that I’ve been able to have coffee again without the loose motions after years of struggling with it - but for how long I’m not sure! And I have no idea what changed
You’ll probably be fone
The stale biscuits won’t hurt you but the mouldy cupcakes might. I’ll pray for you anyway 🙏
Biscuits could have been mouldy too.
I had them stored in the same container :(
Oh dear 😔
Arise, arise, riders of Rohan!
Fell deeds awake, fire and slaughter!
Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered!
A sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now, ride to Gondor!RIP Bernard Hill, Théoden King
All hail King Theoden.
May he rest in peace.
He was so good. 😢
After months of snap send solve for a mattress dumped in the park, someone spray painted “Handjob Club. Thursdays 9pm. Kids Welcome.” on it and stood it up next to the scout hall entrance. Mattress gone the next day.
This is great. The sub deserves a photo of this.
Beauty. The true Aussie spirit in action.
What council, if you don’t mind me asking?
Dandy.
Chaotic Good cleaning up the streets
Tactical Urbanism.
A lesson in incentivisation.
Just gave myself a nasty cut on my thumb opening a can… How do you know if you need stitches 🤔 quite a lot of blood
put a bandaid on 15 min pressure and elevation if it is still bleeding get a professional for amputation
I don’t think they like stitching finger print parts. Get some of those butterfly clip bandaids?? Also, fucking ouch!
Rule of uh, thumb: if you ain’t sure, get a professional opinion
Still oozing a bit but doesn’t seem too deep. Think I’ll just see how it goes
spoiler
Fucking hell boost still doesn’t support spoilers and I was not prepared for this
Is it still going? If it is, I’d call the nurse on call. They’ll ask some questions and advise if you should go in to hospital. Imo (not a doctor), that doesn’t really look stitchable, your primary concern is probably infection, so antiseptic and gauze is probably what you need
Edit: I read 42 as 12. If it’s still going now after over an hour, you should definitely call NoC
looks like the cut took a chunk of meat out too
No wonder breakfast tastes so good
saved a sample for lab grown meat too, force steak should be ready tomorrow
the moon is so beautiful this morning 🌙
Temperamental car is in for a service (a waaaay overdue service, so I don’t really blame her for being temperamental!) and I’m at my desk just wishing I could have worked from home today. Was awake at stupid hours having imaginary arguments with work people.
Issa gorgeous morning though!

Oh man, you’ve unlocked a memory of sitting at a mechanic as a twenty something waiting for the report to come in as to whats gone wrong with my piece of shit this time! I do NOT miss those days.
I have a terrible feeling I know what’s wrong with her and if so, it’s time for her to go. I might just be preparing myself for the worst, IDK. An excellently fun car, but just… too much.
I gave up on mine after multiple rounds of the Takata airbag shitshow. Not worth the headaches in lockdown
Countdown to the next public holiday…. And to winter solstice.
Off the top of my head I think it might be the 10th of June for the next public holiday.
Kiddo had a great weekend. We caught up with the folks from Mrs’s mums group and it was great to see all his little mates. They are all within similar age as each other, but they were all so different. A few were walking, a few had a couple more words, a few were a lot bigger. Tinyest has probably 50% of his teeth and a full head of hair so he probably looked the most “non baby” of the bunch. He’s currently trying to say “Dog” but has only gotten as far as “Duh” which is so damn cute.
I see that with my twins. It’s almost more comforting having two kids because you can see how differently two kids in the exact same environment develop.
The Booktopia website is an absolute nightmare to use when you run a couple of privacy extensions. I am trying to browse the website to give you my money
Can say this round of COVID is not as bad as the first. Popped some codral, waiting for it to take effect. 😱💀
I’m sick to death of being treated like a potential thief at self service.
I hate pulling the race card, but it’s noticeable how different I’m treated. And it’s gotten much worse since the cost of living issues.
They will come and literally stand behind me watching me scan everything. Im not dressed in rags or anything. Even when I’m on business work clothes.
Some of those checkout people seem to have gone crazy with the modicum of perceived power they have over people.
/Rant
Some great leftist thinker must have a chapter in a book about how the corporations are thrusting more of the responsibility onto us whilst also treating us as a criminal for doing so
Ditto having blue hair
If we add up how much we spend at our usual shops, many thousands a year, it’s shameful how we are treated, absolutely shameful.
And the reason they do it is so that we forget the customer shop relationship, that we have a valid expectation to be treated with respect and politeness and that we have rights.
Maybe we should start shoppers associations. The problem is in a duopoly what kind of power can we exercise?
And the racism? I suggest take videos and post about the racism.
nah, just steal shit to even it up. Silent protest.
I’m personally really looking forward to them installing those self closing gates at my local coles. If it closes on me I’m gunna wear a face mask and shout “Cant hold someone captive you profiting fucks” as I kick it down. I obviously wont be acting like that if there is young kids around.
I really love nice thick boots for kicking in stuff.
I’ve got steel caps for outdoor shit, feels like it’d do sufficient damage.
I live near an Aldi, but its soo fucking good having a self serve that doesn’t accuse you of theft.
The staff are also rostered on at the same times, so you also get to know the stores staff.
Your aldi has self serve? I’ve never seen that before
