And thus begins the beginning of the chillo season.
At front is an orange hab , ones at the back are thais. Took under a week to pop which was surprising.
oh god, that is so cool .🙂
Well, hopefully not as a Hab
Thanks for the reminder, I wanted to give them a go this season and wasn’t quite sure when to jump in. I planted Jalapenos last summer that have actually survived winter somewhat, but had almost zero heat. Planning to get something a bit hotter this season
Dammit I’ve snapped an underwire. Everything was go so well today too. ☹️
FREE THE TITTIES
As I’m at work that could get a bit controversial.
you’ll have to get it out asap as they can be dangerous
If I manage to stab myself we have paramedics on site so I should survive. Do you think I could claim it under workcover as a workplace injury?
the rough sharp ends will cut through the lining and then start cutting you
It’s ok, it was getting a bit stabby but the whole thing was off as soon as I got to my car to go home. I don’t think I could have pulled the wire out without major bra surgery unfortunately - although if I hadn’t been about to go home anyway I probably would have resorted to that.
Just pull the wires on both sides out so you’re even. You don’t want one up tit and one down tit
Ah bugger! I’ve never actually snapped one, just had that slow extrusion of one side out through a tiny gap, a millimetre at a time until my boob is being uncomfortably prodded.
I’ve had that a few times, and one time the wire just worked it’s way out the side so far it was basically an overwire!
@[email protected] Ended up saying happy birthday to SIL. One more forced dinner out for the year (bday) then I don’t have to worry about them until xmas :) Which is an awful thing to say.
🙂 are you me
I swear I can’t bear eating out with my BIL, he has the manners of an arsehole. I was going to say pig but pigs have manners of their own.
I try not to look.
Wise and strong! It seems like that’s the best choice to avoid drama as much as possible. I don’t think it’s awful at all to be relieved that you can avoid dealing with people who’ve displayed such entitled and childish behaviour. Doesn’t matter if they’re your own blood relatives even.
My dog did something that I’ve never seen him do before. Waited until the kid got up from the kitchen table to blow her nose, leaped on to the chair, skinny body stretched out, front paws on the table and hoovered the rest of her meal up in seconds. He didn’t even stop when I walked in. This is why I have rules about pushing chairs in.
Kid now understands why they need to follow the rule too!
I had a dog that loved walking around on the dining table, so any time a chair wasn’t pushed in she would be up there, whether there was any food or not. The other dog I had at the time would just sit on the chair like you’d expect of any invited guest.
She took a risk walking 3 metres to get a tissue. She lost her meal.
Hello everyone 🫡 Hope you all have a great Sunday!

Sweet Sammi, eating is a good sign!
Edit: you can download these PDFs for free, and do it on Sammi. The Feline Grimace Scale - it should help to tell you if Sammi is currently in pain. https://www.felinegrimacescale.com/
I use that, and TPR (temp, pulse rate, respiratory rate) Temp - use a rectal thermometer, temp shouldn’t be above 39c. (Normal range: 37.2c - 39.2c)
Pulse rate - if she lets you, you can feel for the femoral artery underneath their back legs near the groin. Time it for 15secs and multiply by 4. No higher than 200beats per min (normal range: 160-200)
Edit: you can also use your hand under their front left leg, next to their heart if you cannot find the back leg artery
Respiratory rate - watch their breathing, when not purring! Time it over 15 seconds and then multiply by 4, shouldn’t be higher than 30 breaths per minute. (Normal range: 15 - 30).Of any of these are above their max thresholds, then Sammi may be in pain. Obviously she is unwell, but this may be helpful in the future or to anyone else unsure when to take their cat to the vet :)
Edit edit: Grimace scales seem fanciful but are used on lab mice, rats, and rabbits, cats and I believe dogs.
The feline grimace scale is amazing. I can tell from my cat’s face and body language when she needs help and follow it up.
She sometimes tries to hide it but when I see those signs they never lie.
Edit: Melbcat also sometimes does a light rapid breathy purr that seems like a pain purr. Sometimes purring can be a self soothing thing during pain or distress
The person 2nd to me in my tipping comp has tipped the same as me for the first game today.
I lead by 3 and with that I’ve won my tipping comp! Woo hoo!
Onya mate 🎉

Foomptball
I am amazed that you’ve been able to tip anything. I won my tipping comp two years running, but this year I’ve just been a complete mess. It is a mystery
I tipped a few upsets earlier in the year due to West Coast suddenly winning games early and Gold Coast winning games at their home but losing all their away games until recently.
Also with that said there have been some really bad weeks with tipping and tons of teams losing when they should have won their games.
Been that sort of a season this year.
🍻
Cheers! 🍹
Bit of rain on the way
Great photo!
Thanks
I was wondering when it was coming
ooh nice!
Stawms closing in on Ballarat - it’s coming, just not here yet.
I’m watching the footy game at the moment. This could get ugly.
Just watching that rain gauge on my iPhone slowly inch left.
Round 2 is coming and wow the lightning is so cool to watch, very flashy this time.
And lots of crackle.
And now torrential rain with crazy wind, holy crap
Edit - the chaos is over but that was a super strong storm when it got going, lucky the worst part didn’t last too long. The wind was insane with hail mixed in.
😱
Had donuts cravings this morning that demanded satisfaction. The Paris theme ones really hit the spot, especially the creme brulee 😋 Still riding the high of Miniest winning “Most Creative Costume” award at her parade on Friday. Costume made it home intact, so now I have a giant wearable book in the loungeroom 😂
Omg I’m eating out ATM in a busy place and I just sneezed into a napkin in a way that made a seal with my mouth. It came out as an enormous squeak squeal thing and turned everyone’s heads. Eek.
Atleast you didn’t do a little wee at the same time.
that’s the first step to being a casual vacuum cleaner
There he was in a busy place
Shoving his food into his face
When the urge to sneeze suddenly took over
He grabbed a napkin to keep his composure
But a seal he made with his dainty mouth
An uncouth sound, it’s all gone south
The cafe turns their heads to him
As he sits in silence with his sin.My mouth isn’t dainty 😢
It’s about the syllables bro
My syllables are large and manly too thank you
🙌🏼
We’ll look on the bright side. At least it didn’t fly back into the face of someone else.
There’s no coming back from that.
TIL I need to clean a gutter.
If you have stuff to do today (I need to go get a haircut and buy a cpl things before new job tmrw) get it done before 2-3pm!! Should be nice weather until big bad storm hits around then
Christ in a cream cheese sauce
Delicious 🤤
All going well I’ll have time to get home from work & take Mr Woof for a neighbourhood stroll before it hits. The afternoon plan is to hole up inside and roast a piece of pork for dinner, should work out well.
2-3pm is when i arrive at the marvel stadium
RIP. You are going to get drenched
it has a roof 😌
Going to be an interesting game. Everything on the line for the blues and who knows which side will decide to turn up today.
If there is enough rain it could be the first ever game of water football. I’m thinking due to the complexities of kicking a ball while in the water it would be of a sort of mash-up between synchronised swimming and rhythmic gymnastics.
Ok. Maybe not rain but possible thunderstorms and it’s 44km winds at the moment.
Game starts at 12:30.
I’m thinking about my tipping for that one.
Doggies will go in with 3 talls. Not sure if it’s going to be marking conditions for them.
The blues vs Saints game should be under the roof.
The Doggies Vs GWS one is the one that’s meant to be in typhoon like weather.
Just about to go see what the Ballarat weather forecast is.
You might get what you just described with that one.
Doesn’t matter you’ll somehow get drenched anyway. I don’t make the rules
All the better to trap me into finishing my assignment 💪
Mother trucker I slept so much last night! Another 10 hours solid? Some unsettling dreams that were an extrapolation of the deeply excruciating arthouse film I watched on Friday (dark lighting, endless rain, depressingly small and crowded concrete living space, and drawn out toilet scenes). I would’ve loved some sun today but no dice, so it’s time to pack up my things and go to uni…
…though I also just want to spend today curled up and blanked out. It’s okay. Next weekend. Next weekend I will be able to take a real breather.
I reluctantly turned down an opportunity to catsit for a friend next month because the driving to work/uni/my home (to check in on plants) was gonna be heinous, on top of not having my usual comforts. I do NOT want to burn out again this soon. But… cat.
You were probably tired if you slept that much. The body has a strange way of making up for sleep eventually.
Maybe for the best if you were going to find it challenging to catsit with all the travel involved.
There’s some sun trying to get through the clouds here.
Yeah saw a bit of sun poking through on my way to uni but mostly grey. I definitely think you’re right about the tiredness - the mental strain of my studies and all kinds of internal scripts running in the background about whether I’m good enough, memories of past uni experiences, etc and nobody to really talk to about it all (who’d get it), certainly takes a toll.
