Whether you have plans today or are just staying in. May your Saturday be an awesome one. Stay safe, keep warm. Peace!
I made it to Sydney for my birthday today and the weather really put on a show. Short sleeves and sun hat and 500% good mood despite feeling like I nearly died a few times on the fucking roads. Getting thoroughly spoiled for the weekend. Made a few professional contacts this week too which was rewarding
E: thanks everyone for the lovely wishes!! Somehow lemmys notifications weren’t working so I saw nothing until now when I’m just about to go to bed and thought I’d check the dt. It’s actually great not being on a device all day. I’ve decided I’m going to go on more long trips and get through the backlog of Conversations with Richard Fidler
Ohh happy birthday!!
🎂🎈
Happy birthday! Have a fabulous time in Sydney!
Happy birthday and enjoy your weekend!
Happy Birthday! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

Tinyest is still not happy. We’re trying a dummy. He hates it, but refuses to let go till he spits it out. I tried to remove it and got smacked. I didn’t know he had that level of hand control!
Korean fried chicken and crispy lettuce sleeves 👌
Hmm, there is a suspicious smell in the lounge room. The dog is blaming the cat. The cat is blaming the dog. I think going for a walk until it clears might be the best option at this point.
guilty party makes quick exit
well the dog certainly leapt up to join me too, so if that is true only the cat is absolved.
Today started off as a bish of a day. But I wasn’t about to let that keep me down. Made a successive purchase at UniQlo . Got a couple of errands done, the others will have to wait until next week. Did a bit of walking. Just need shower, something to eat then chill for the rest of the night I think
I asked the google lady what Ballarats weather will be like this weekend and I swear I heard laughter from the speakers.
What Am I?
I have eyes but I can’t see
I have skin but I can’t feel anything
I can be sweet but I’m not a piece of candy
I can be baked but I’m not a cake
I am best prepared in a microwaveYou are a 3hr old coffee on sensor reheat
I want to know what baked coffee tastes like.
boil them!
Mash 'em!
stick 'em in a stew!
🤮
Are you sure they can’t feel anything?
Please don’t cause me more existential dread
Good morning spud
Good morning sunshine 🌞
I think I know 😉
“Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers”
-that Voltaire guy or whatever
That was Solitaire, who also loved microwaved potato
I thought he played a mean game of cards (with himself)
False. He loves one-eye Texas stack
I’ve been intrigued by the whole “one eye Texas stack” thing so I googled “one eye Texas stack” and the first thing that came up was “Can you drive with one eye in Texas?”
I have no idea what it is. Sometimes I refer to this fun list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diner_lingo
Tinyest is in near meltdown. He’s tired as shit but won’t sleep, and has slobbered so much he’s soaked 2 sets of clothes tonight. Bit worried we might be teething but he’s still under 3 months.
Wondering how long we let this go on before we give him some baby Panadol.
gentle hugs, and he could be teething . Do his gums look white and are his cheeks a little pink?
No. Just lots and lots of slobber. Though he’s finally having a feed and not pulling away and crying every 5 seconds so hopefully we’re getting somewhere.
poor little guy
just be calm and soothing
Why am I sick again? I was sick last month? Not bad thankfully, but I’d love a few month stretch of no cough and no nose issues thanks
I have forgotten the taste of food, everything tastes like menthol
My body is going through its 3rd sickness in as many months and I’m pretty over it. Every time is different and it’s frustrating me.
Hope you feel better soon!!
Thanks SM! I’m getting sick about once a month as well. I hope you’re doing alright and get better soon as well!
My first tip is really more a superstition than a tip. If you spill salt, you have to flick some over your left shoulder and you might as well flick some over your right too for good measure because my Nana said so and she lived until her 80s.
I wonder why this is such a prevalent superstition. Salt as a means of purification is a big thing in Japanese culture and Shintoism as well. That’s why the sumo wrestlers throw salt over their shoulders before they run at each other. A lot of restaurants have little bowls of salt at their front door too and sprinkle on the sidewalk to ward off bad luck.
I know a few grannies who throw salt outside the front door when they’ve had a visitor that they did like/didn’t want to come back
Agree it’s pretty universal. Wicca uses salt a lot to reset to neutral status, religiously speaking.
The devil reportedly sits on your right shoulder, so you are throwing salt in his eyes so he doesn’t steal your soul.
I thought the devil sat on your left?
Ah shit I meant left. Why did I say right? I mean why did I write right? Brain fart moment, thanks for the correcto!
Without looking it up I’m gonna assume it has to do with salt once being a precious commodity so using it to ward of evil spirits would be like giving it all you’ve got. 🤷♀️
What if you spilt sugar? 😜
Ants, you get ants.
Then you just clean it up and carry on.
Aye aye cap!
You get ants. Clean it up immediately including vacuuming.
I know I was just joking around
I figured that you might be. Still, spilling sugar is far more of a hassle than spilling salt and has more consequences.
Yep I know all this :)
Hahaha. Do you regret your question now?
Yes and no. I was hoping the emoji 😜 would show I kidding. Most often people get it 🤷♀️ oh well. No harm done 🤣
Edit: at least you understood I was kidding around and that’s what matters since I was replying to you
Your floor will be sticky!
Ok no imaginary sugars then
I should have added a 😉 - my reply got a bit lost in translation :-)
All good. I was just being silly is all
Watching Wayne’s World (thanks peeps) and the teenage nostalgia is hitting me hard.
Also Tia Carrere is a babe and a half
Shwiiiing
Toasted sangy for lunch. Caught in the rain in the way home. Pea n ham soup in the slow cooker. Finally installing heated grips on the bike. Listening to Greatest Love Songs Vol. 666. VV a bit gaunt these days, but thanks for the love metal anyways. 😂
So excited for toasty hands that I can feel when I’m riding, instead sad frozen hand that make me manoeuvre like a mannequin. 🖤
Pea&Ham is GOAT
Thanks for new thread @Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone
You’re very welcome

Another day another bunch of hours doing volunteer work for my organisation. Felt so good to be among my tribe all day and help some members of our community live better lives. Between that and some aa meetings I’m going to feel pretty damn good about myself.
Not much else to report other than it was bloody cold and hand warmers are fantastic.
Had a borderline productive day today, wife went to get takeaway for dinner and some other errands, had a shower, got my cozy clothes on…it’s motherfucking nap time!!!
