There was a fly lol
I’m betting on Gibson here.
Ahh the simple pleasures of life.
Art supplies have been obtained . I got 4 tombow calligraphy pens in classic ink colours
I haven’t seen you post up your calligraphy in awhile now that I think about it.
I haven’t done any in a while. Just spent too much time sick in bed this year, at least 4 months 😔, and the rest of the year was doing big house cleaning and sorting
Things feel pretty hopeless lately but I’ve got a furry baby asleep on my chest so I stick it out
I’m glad you two have each other <3
Went to a barbie tonight. Had a few drinks. Cleaning Sunday maybe compromised.
4 day weekend, you’ve got time baby.
We cleaned today in anticipation.
True.
I do not lie Habibi
Fridays are for cleaning, then you have weekend feee
This brings me joy.
Onions and mushrooms cut and fried. Massive bowl of it that should last a good few days.
Air frying chicken tenders to be all assembled with Turkish bread and some sauce.
Bon appetite!
southern chicken tenders with onions and mushrooms in Turkish bread
Yumm.
I think that looks bloody good!
Go bacon, bacon go…. Go!!
DON’T GET TOO DISTRACTED THOUGH WE STILL NEED BREAKFAST.
Other persons might need breakfast more 🖤
Some lucky person might be getting their own personal chef…
Online ad: access to interdimensional tardis-like pantry and the skills of Rokusaburo Michiba and Gordon Ramsey. Also, cute.
Ahahaha thank you! I don’t think we’ll date because of circumstances. But definitely friends and I am very happy about that. Most importantly we had a great time!
Glad to hear it went well. :)
Glad you had a great time :)
Aww at least you had a great time and will continue on being friends.
House got cleaned. Cars have been washed and detailed. Nap has been had. Time for some Pho!!!
Perhaps a movie later.
Mmm, Pho! What movie are you thinking?
Settled on Blues Brothers.
Watched it last night (favourite of all time), and kids haven’t seen it l, so watching it again.
Went for a walk down at Point Nepean and checked out some of the old structures. Fascinating stuff. So bloody thankful to live here! Now time for some drinks, music and chilling out!
Ahh i fucking love fort Nepean. Fun fact: first allied shots of both world wars were fired from down there
That link literally says people who think the wwi shot was fired from queenscliff are wrong
Yeah but we called it. Point Nepean missed though not our fault.
Yeah the command and barracks were (and still are) in Queenscliff, who the fuck would want to live on point nepean. There’s a reason they put the quarantine station out there.
From this side (bellarine) we call that “the dark side”.
I will wave at you from across the bay :)
But… like… do you have cookies?
Back in one piece and now the process of operation de-bug guts begin…
They just love going kamikaze on me. Just me. ‘Cause I fully look like I love massive amounts of bug guts smeared across my line of sight.
What’s the plan to get rid of them?
Oh, it’s just cleaning my gear. Little bit of soapy water and elbow grease is usually sufficient for my gear. Bit gentler for my visor.
Still have to wash my bike at some point, so there’s that.
Bank locked my account due to suspicious activity. Can’t unlock till Monday.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuckity, fuck.
That doesn’t sound right. Isn’t there a 24/7 number?
I ran em. Need to present photo ID at a branch…
Have you got food and a little cash? Hoping the weekend flies by
Yeah I’m OK. I frantically messaged a friend and he was super cool about it. I feel really grateful for that :)
Dafuq, what kind of bank locks you out over the weekend??! Surely there’s a way through. People get stuck overseas at all hours AEST…
Need to present at a branch with ID
That sounds really messed up. How on earth would this be managed if you were overseas?! And with branches being few and far between this really sucks. After the commbank outage recently I’m starting to think it might be beneficial to have accounts with multiple banks as a backup.
If you were out east side I’d spot you some cash… will you be OK for today and tomorrow?
I really, really appreciate that. That’s incredibly kind of you ❤️ I reached out to a friend who was happy to help out.
But again, thank you :)
Oh man. The hops which they send you through to fix your account is atrocious.
My one beef is that they keep sliming down branch locations and opening hours and it’s next to impossible to get it fixed at times.
I hope it’ll be fixed for you soon. Keep us updated!
You gotta stop giving those drug dealers an upfront payment before getting the goods. Especially if they tell you to desposit it via cashapp or PayPal lol.
Always cash when buying, and no pre-payment lol
Nah jokes aside that’s fucked up! Like wtf? And the fact they did it on the weekend when they aren’t open is evil. There isn’t an after hours number you could call? Or something you could do via the online portal? Idk I’m sorry
Gibson must have been buying catnip and temptations treats from the dark Web lol
But yeah it sucks. Mate jumped in and helped :)
Can we all just bask in the lovely warm feeling that hanson has zero legal recourse now if you refer to her loudly and publicly as a racist
There really should be more politicians of a working class background representing the interests of ordinary people… instead we get that. :(
Also it’s a bit rich for an Aussie to tell anyone to go back where they came from…
Also it’s a bit rich for an Aussie to tell anyone to go back where they came from…
It’s because those Aussies don’t see First Nations as actual real people with rights lol
Yeah, Terra Nullius and all that. It’s fucked.
Absolutely. The only good things from when I went to Uni was doing the aboriginal languages, and first nations culture. I have a lot of sources I saved to whip out for deniers haha.
There’s a harrowing recount of a massacre, written by a modern woman as a retort to another bloke who denies the genocides (they’re both academics), and I like to pull that one out for the shock value. I have it available but it’s nsfw
I once saw an interview on ABC of an old farmer from Gippsland , this was over 30 years ago, where he talks about giving local first nation families sacks of poisoned flour. He talked of finding the dead families, children included. He had no sense of shame or guilt. So the interview is about 40 years old now and the guy was about 80 talking about when he was in his 20s and 30s, so this was maybe 100 years ago, that’s still 20th century.
This is what it was like, individuals like this evil bastard committing murder.
I don’t know if there was any organisation by or talk among farmers to commit systematic genocide.
That is actually foul af, evil. I had not heard about that! Good fucking lord what the actual fucking fuck
I have heard of two instances from the mouths of the perps. The Gippsland one and Northern Territory.
It was farmers, always graziers.
They would run families away from natural watering holes too, ( who would then of course die of thirst or hunger. ) There is a chapter on that in “We of the Never Never”.
Maybe she’ll stop getting a weekly spot on Sunrise now
Took the Minipeelers out for an ice-cream and walked along the local creek. It’s a windy, polleny kind of day but it wasn’t unpleasant, not along the creek path anyway. Cut some of a plant outside that had keeled over for some reason. Did a couple of loads of washing and cleaned the bathroom. Am procrastinating on the kitchen.
How are you feeling today?
Feeling a lot better thankyou! Just keeping up with the cortisone and calmoseptine and the rash has almost completely disappeared on my arms. How’s your day going?
good to hear you’re getting better 😘
Thankyou!
Apart from the late wake up I’m doing well.
Done some chores, washing is on and I’m fully stuffed from a meal and drinking coffee on the couch with the women’s cricket on at the moment while I chill with my ps5 today.
I’m glad to hear you’re doing better and that the rash is doing a lot better. It’s a great feeling as it gets less and less painful.
Hmm 🤔 coffee 🤔 I think I might have to have me one of those!
Ended up making a shit tonne of food, in addition to the dal and the slow cooked jackfruit, made a massive broccoli and pea and cashew curry that is bloody delicious if I say so myself. Not much progress with the jars and haven’t started pantry cull yet. But I don’t mind because I have momentum and a plan… and had a few nice family chats today so that was worth it.
Downside is I’ve picked up a nasty headache out of nowhere this arvo. I’m going to dish out this food, chuck everything in the dishwasher (I will fucking miss this dishwasher), finish the leftovers and call it a day. Gotta love winding down to Fresh Produce on PBS
I hope you feel better soon.
Give yourself a gentle shoulder shrug or three and see if you can feel any points of tension.
Pop some nurofen or panadol if you have any with your meal and that might make you feel better.
Thanks. Had some Nurofen earlier which did nothing. I am gonna have some again, plus extra water as I think I’m dehydrated. I suspect it’ll be better once I wake up. Feels like it was a reaction to something. So tired! I’m going to take it easy when I get back tomorrow.
Your food sounds awesome! Sometimes I get a mid afternoon headache from standing at a prep bench all day. It’s something to do with the angle of your neck. I hope you feel better soon!
Oh, I hadn’t thought about neck angle at all! That’s something to keep in mind. I’m really glad to read that you’re feeling better too despite the Dr being unhelpful the other day. Here’s to a restful and healing night for us both.
Super grateful I got the ps5. As much as I love music, the spark isn’t always there.
Final fantasy rebirth is so good so far!
I have to admit though, I do find it hard to just relax. This intense need to be productive at all times hangs over my head.
I hope you’re having a good time and fluffy isn’t annoying you too much as you play.
The shoeboxes have proved to be a fantastic little spot for her to hangout while I play lol
Yeah I’m definitely finding it hard to relax. There’s always this nagging in the back of my mind “you’re wasting time, do something more productive”.
It sucks and I don’t know how to stop.
It’s self care. It’s okay to have leisure time, in fact it’s normal and human and healthy. Do your best to quell those self sabotaging thoughts and enjoy! You’re allowed to enjoy things guilt-free, but if you require permission then it is granted 😂
Permission accepted :)
Yeah, and I was so antsy I couldn’t even focus to be productive. Make it make sense.
That’s the exact feeling. So i end up walking laps around the park near my house.
I don’t even go for walks anymore because my block has ferals
I think you’ve just got to come to terms with that it’s not a waste of time and just gradually change your viewpoint on things.
You’re having some recreational time to yourself, would you feel any different if you read a book, listened to a podcast, movie or watched tv or did something socially?
I think this is left over from when I wasn’t working. It’s left an imprint on both my space and my state of mind.
Going to have dinner and try to settle into some gaming :)
I often feel like I’m “not allowed” to do nothing, especially when there is housework or similar I “should” be doing. I feel enormous guilt at the “wasted time,” even though it’s actually really important. My parents especially would have frowned at the periodic inactivity, but they aren’t living my life.
