I’ll do tomorrow’s thread now.
Ok no worries. I got distracted and was a little late at getting to it.
No problems. Just had an internet outage too, so wasn’t sure if this thread was created properly. Seems to be OK now though.
Finally made it to the laundromat, body aching and tired, having finished cleaning everything (EVERYTHING bar the fly screens/windows and insides of cupboards!) and bought groceries and inspected a rental and made dinner and washed all that up too. And god I hate mopping the floors but it does make the place feel nice when I do remember to do it. Just a shame I won’t be here much longer. No more attachment.
Half a day of work tomorrow… and long-awaited therapy sesh after. I’m gonna sleep well tonight tho.
Well done! You’re doing great!! 💜

Look. We’ve got a new pet
Ah some kind of skink 😍😍😍
Yeah. I’ve named him Boris
Perfect name! Boris!
I think you’re right!
The skin specialist rang to organise an appointment with me. Earliest they can do is end of next week. Ok. Then she tells me it’ll cost $365 and I’ll get $80 back via Medicare. She heard the thing in my voice when I agreed to the appointment and said if I wanted to cancel at any stage to just let them know by Tuesday. I just can’t afford it and Elder’s therapy as well. Feeling very conscious about the takeaway we had this evening, we shouldn’t have had it, but I came home tonight and just didn’t have it in me to cook. Mr P just laying about in bed most of the time with no energy and feeling guilty. That’s what it’s like after the heart procedure thing he had, my MIL reckons, as his dad was the same. Boss shuts the factory for 3 weeks over Xmas and New year, so that’s 3 weeks with no dough. Time to get tougher with money.
Aw man I’m so sorry you’re going through it right now, that’s so awful. I hope things turn around, it sucks to struggle, I feel that. Sending you my love 💜
Thanks Spud
Goodnight everyone ❤️
Red light district gibson.

That’s good earnings, I should send Miss Meow out to work.
Although she’d probably blow it all on dry food and have to retire early due to extreme obesity.
I’m loving your Goodnight from Gibson nightly posts. Goodnight you two!
IVE HAD A LOT OF TIGER BEER AND SOME RANDOM WHITE WINE
Made caramel apples today and learned some things along the way.
Please don’t think I’m weird, and your apples are surely lovely, but the first thing I noticed was your hands looking so beautiful and young! My 51 year old hands are lined and creased from hard manual work, dry skin in places, ruddy from years of hot water and wiping and scrubbing and washing, with brutally short nails for hygiene reasons. And I wear gloves at work, but not often at home.
I say send @[email protected] off to the salt mines to teach them a lesson. Hand envy is real.
I bet one of the lessons was to wear shoes with solid tops to prevent harm from splashes of hot sugar … which can burn to the bone.
Ooh looks good! I remember the red toffee apple things as a kid but haven’t seen one in ages.
Last time I had one of those red things they were using the toffee to cover up a bruised apple. Yucky.
For a better version try the Chocolate Apple Factory which uses both caramel, chocolate and other yummy additions.
They are tasty ! but yeah some techniques were learned for next time.
Wussed out of the swim but made it to the beach:
The erosion on the dunes is extreme. They need to prod it with a stick or TNT can get it over and done with.
Tonight is such a beautiful evening. Soft and warm, light breeze. I have opened up the house to let the air through.
Too hot for me alrdy. Air con is on. Need to buy a new fan tomorrow

All tasks for today done despite agony. Dinner is cooking and will be up shortly. As soon as I’m done eating, I will be retreating to bed with a book
Bleh.
Why do I always let me coffee go cold before I drink it?
Constant articles from the Guardian about how the world is on the precipice of untold calamity is really not helping at this point.
What are the practical solutions?
The anarchists say to get to know your neighbours and start engaging in mutual aid to have each other’s back when things get rough, but quite honestly the people around here would probably be the biggest threat for me. Like… they already are.
And the mutual aid I’ve done in the past has not been mutual.
Idk what my plan is if everything gets worse. All I can do is cope a day at a time, stay on a news diet and look after myself the best I can.
Don’t read the Guardian
Based on the assignment I just finished writing you should worry less on the big complicated issues and focus smaller, more local issues you can directly impact. I will be focusing on reducing food waste, which through it’s connection to all other problems in existance will eventually fix everything.
For details of how you will need to wait for my next assignment.
I genuinely suffer from this grief all the time. I am not gonna claim I have anything solved but I can share a few things I do. Firstly I understand/believe we are past a few critical tipping points and there’s a good chance of things getting real bad (especially for marginalised communities - wealth buys some protection for longer). I trust any path humanity has through (waves hands) all this boils down to connection - with nature, with community, with ‘source’ (whatever that means).
I am devoted to doing the little things that are in front of me to do. Caring for the people that I care for, caring for nature in little ways. I am fortunate that I have a career that’s in an area I care about too. And I look at the stars, the ocean, the trees. I often say sorry to them. And I know they will go on after me. Taking that time helps me.
This quote I saw on twitter a loong time ago sums up how I get through and I often look at it
The world has ALWAYS been on the brink of calamity. It’s just that the calamity du jour affects different groups/people differently. Some are not affected much and therefore do not care as much, and for some it’s the end of the world as we know it and a serious disaster. What’s different about nowadays is that the group that’s going to be negatively affected is much much larger, and includes folk that up till now haven’t had to think about it much. I’m with @imoldgreeg on this.
Do what you can in your own life circumstances, and help others where you can without making your own life harder. Don’t forget to thoroughly enjoy the good bits of your life too - that’s just as important. Possibly even more important. Cos these refuel you for coping with the other shit.
Mmmmm, wheatbag
I’ve got old reliable on my shoulder
They’re really not that tasty
It is day 459. Seagoon remains lost at sea. Rescue crews have seen glimpses of her, but the plan to get her back to dry land safely hasn’t been fully confirmed. Worshippers have been gathering along coastlines, along piers and bridges. They’ve taken up the chanting which appears to have started spontaneously among animals two nights ago…
GOOOOOONseeGOOOOOOONseeGOOOOON
She is doing everything she can to get back here.
Lodion and I have both emailed her directly. Not sure if its a first for him, but this is the first time I’ve emailed an Aussie.Zone user. She hasn’t replied to me - I don’t think Lodion has had a reply, either.
There is one last trick I have in my arsenal: to change her password myself and send it to her. Though that will leave me in a situation where I know a user’s password and I’m not really comfortable with that direction. I’d prefer to get her password reset with our present approach.
5/5 Hobbits
😂
I have sent this to her
Just out of curiosity what has happened?
Did she lose her password to her account and had to make a new account again?
As far as I can tell she has previously existed in this zone as both Seagoon and Seagoon_
The attempt to create a third Seagoon overwhelmed this timeline’s reality vortex and has pushed her into an alternate timeline where the Aussie Zone does not exist. We are attempting to strengthen the vortex and will hopefully have the power to pull her back through shortly, but it is a risky manoeuvre and it is possible we will all be pulled through to the other timeline with her and will find ourselves rather confused and back on Reddit.
As far as I can tell she has previously existed in this zone as both Seagoon and Seagoon_
Both accounts are still just fine in the database, I can recover either of them. I have gone for Seagoon_, as that’s the account she’s been using the past year. But yeah - it could easily have been the other account. I haven’t heard from her since last night, and that was through CEO. I figure she has more important things going on in her world today. Which is fine, I’ve been at work and not exactly brimming with spare time anyway.
Maybe the Gooner is on hiatus and just wants to chill
GOOOOONseaGOOOOONseaGOOOOON
I think she’s been taken by a siren out at sea.
Lured away by an irresistible song out into the briny depths.

EDIT: has anyone spotted any sea monsters in that vicinity? I have a nasty feeling about this situation. It isn’t just Euron that does the whole kraken bit.
