    I decided to do a “fuck it I’m going to get whatever I want” supermarket run.

    Now, this is probably a weeks worth of food with a few treats, nothing extravagant. ( a whole block of cheese instead 500gm, some bacon, some apples and nectarines).

    And all the cat stuff for about half a week.

    Two hundred and ten fucking dollars! I’m one person!!! I don’t even eat that much!!!

    Plus a bakers dozen or so of cats. The strays stuff cost around 35 a week so it’s not a huge deal at the moment.

    Man. Never going to woollies or Coles again. Fucking aldi convert right here.

            Also one on the corner of Johnson & Brunswick streets in Fitzroy. Cheeee selection is probably not as good, but has vast quantities of alternative ‘milks’.

        I eat the same thing most days as well (because I only cook properly if there’s someone else around)

        Oats Fruit Tuna Frozen veggies Some variety of meat

        That’s pretty much it.

          Yeah, I don’t cook about half the week because Boyo is on 2nd shift. Stuff that ups the spendiness is razors, his fancy conditioner, or letting me loose in the deli 😺

      The generic wet food from Woolies and Coles is pretty solid and nutritionally complete at less than $2 a can. (Used to be 80c.) The Woolies passes AAFCO regulations.

      However YMMV - the fish flavour is full of bones which means a high phosphorus content which is hard on cats kidneys. Melbcat’s kidney disease values improved after I switched her off it to a low phosphorus food

    YarraByte joined me out where we met sister’s work friend and his friend. They made lots of references I didn’t get because they’re old. YarraByte just nodded along. Anyway. Took a Siemens train for the first time and the handles are interesting. Passed two level crossings. Kind of weird they’re still there in such an area with busy traffic.

    Someone’s work function bought too many drinks and we got a free one which was cool. That’s my night.

    Anthony Albanese just got married. It’s never even occured to me to wonder what his relationship status was. But some part of me feels like the Prime Minister getting married should be some sort of State event, like when royalty gets married and everyone watches on tv and has a big parade 🤣

        It probably would have been in a big church too, as opposed to at home with a celebrant. Although ‘at home’ when you are living in The Lodge hits a bit different.

    People who live in apartments, do you hear your neighbours or do they hear you? I’m considering moving into one some day, but if I can hear the neighbours’ every move and they can hear mine, it’s a no from me. Staying over in one and I can hear doors slamming, noises I’d rather not hear.

      I’ve lived in many apartments and it’s quite variable. I agree with Seagoon it depends on construction. Currently I don’t hear a damn thing even if in the hallway can hear my neighbours loud music. I’ve also lived in an apartment where I could hear my upstairs neighbours footsteps, my across-the-hall neighbours’ wailing (he was quite unwell), and it had double height, full wall glass as the outside wall, and I could hear the voices of people on the street. That apartment almost drove me insane and I had to break the lease and leave early and significant cost.

      Townhouses count? One side I can hear on the stairs (must be a mech warrior to stomp like that!) other side occasional arguments and some plumbing noises. The lonely dog in the next block is more annoying.

      Hate apartments but I’m bias because I can’t have my studio in an apartment.

      Plus I grew up in public housing ghetto apartment block.

      Yeah it’s probably more the 2nd one now that I think about it.

      Edit: Closer consideration, a unit or town house would be awesome. Just not people above or below me.

      Freaks me the fuck out.

      I live in an apartment. I think I lucked out, I can’t hear my neighbours in their apartments; just in the building hallway. I can hear Sydney Road more clearly than I can hear my neighbours lol

      I am on the top floor though, but I’ve never ever received any complaint about being loud.

      I’m used to apartment living though, I got used to running into my neighbours and the general noise level of Brunswick. I feel safer than if I was in a house, less likely to be robbed.

      Not in my current apartment but it’s a bit unusual in construction. Previously yes. It’s never really bothered me, if it’s a nice enough place I find it kinda nice to hear people around.
