Alright, Veggies are in. Toddler consumed minimal dirt. Call that a win.
There’s a very quick gap of them putting everything in their mouths to “I’m not eating that food you have lovingly prepared”. Sometimes they do overlap.
Toddlers 🤝 Cats
Hahaha. That’s about right.
Bit of dirt builds a healthy immune system.
A particular ball of floof doesn’t wanna play today.
Mickey wishes you all a really awesome Monday!
Oh Monday you’re so fine
You’re so fine
You blow my mind
Hey MondayI love his little face, such a snuggle bug 😍
Just got a call for an interview next week from a job that closed a month ago. I’d assumed they didn’t want me and moved on. Job hunting is so weird.
Oooh, good luck!!
🤞
I just saw a crested pigeon. I couldn’t think what it was called so I googled “pigeon with a mohawk”. I also saw a fairy wren the other day too. Beautiful birds.
Punk pigeons! They also squeak when they fly, which is very entertaining
By the time I got my phone out, fucked around with the fingerprint, aimed and shot, ended up with a nice photo of the power pole and the neighbour’s house.
#3 has a nice front garden.
Whoops.
and they are natives 🥰
I’m done with this uni course in two days. Kind of wild. Might get donuts from nearby to celebrate the end of a pretty miserable chapter :) and onto the next
Aw yeaaaa you’re smashing it! Begone, foul course!
I think you did very well. You completed the course , that’s not nothing. 🍾🥂 here’s some champers 😘😘😘
Congrats though it’s a weird feeling when you’ve done it but you did it!
One of my colleagues brought their 10 month old King Charles Cavellier to the (very quiet) office all day today. Got many pats and licks. I miss living with dogs 😞
nice day outside, got some errands and then I might have a look at some art stuff/paper/books :)
might look at some new printers too , the last one just wore out
also, Ted chose to sleep in his stroller last night. It must be a safe place for him, which is good. :)
Melbcat loved to sleep in her stroller, whether the capsule was up in the frame or by itself.
The capsule to the current one became, ahem, unfit for use but she has boxes with blankets and cutout portholes
Edit: hey they do sell twin strollers
Also keeps Bill out of it I suspect.
I think this is what is happening.
This is hilarious. Twin stroller next?
Its monday and i still have a whooole weekend to go w00t w00t
Working Monday to Friday here 🥲
Time off in lieu or sweet sweet holiday pay?
2.5x pay
Niiiice. And in time for Christmas
I’ll take it. Four day weekend would’ve been lovely though
As someone who transitioned from public holiday pay to an office based role that gives me the day off… I miss the extra $$. It was a nice little boost.
Logged into my email and teams this morning just to check. Manager said, to log off and enjoy my day.
Ps5, music and cat cuddles it is!
Edit: Playing titanfall 2 atm, brings back so many memories. Multiplayer is surprisingly still alive.
freakin LOVED titanfall 2. Probably the best shooter of the last 10 years.
Yeah man I gotta say, it beats any other except maybe doom 2016.
Fluid movement, great guns and the multiplayer is fucking amazing!
🔵How does it feel
💙to treat me like you do?
🦋When you’ve laid your hands upon me
🌀And told me who you are
Extreme pollen again tomorrow and then 35 degrees on Wednesday. I should do all of my errands today but I seem to be moving very slowly.
Some fuck has been flying a quad-copter over my place for a few months now. I want to build an RF jammer thing but it’s a $1.5 million or up to 8 years in prison penalty :( My only option is to convince the resident magpie to take it out.
They are so annoying, aren’t they? I get DoorDash drones flying over my place, I absolutely hate them. Door Dash claims they are really quiet and fly high enough they are not annoying, but I am regularly being annoyed by the sound so that claim is obviously rubbish.
Is flying the quad-copter over your place not illegal?
+1 to the magpie taking it out.
I thought it was. I think it’s a racing FPV drone. Noise is basically like a giant mosquito.
Slingshot?
That’s a $47k fine right there or up to 2 years in the slammer :(
Still thinking about that option. Place backs on to a lot of uninhabited empty space so no one would be at risk.
You’re not even allowed a potato gun or a glove gun… damn.
Got any garden stakes? How good is your throwing arm?
hehe what a throw love that.
Oh shit, I’ve got a potato gun. Seriously, are those things illegal? 😧😳
Oh man idk, I’m getting conflicting info
If it’s so strict I wonder what the ruling would be on those salt guns made for shooting flies. Those seem silly btw. Just a matter of time before someone gets salt propelled in their eyes
After reading a bit, I think it’s based on whether it uses combustion as propulsion of the potato missile, whether it obviously looks to be a kids toy, whether it has potential to cause bodily harm or is over a certain size. Was a very entertaining read!
I wonder about net guns. That would certainly make a drone fall out of the air.
Ahaha, spud gun was my first thought, too.
very powerful hose?

Oh jeez. Just spoke to (78yo) mum and she had another fall. Last one was 2 weeks ago going down 2 stairs. She’s just not stable on her feet and her vision is poor. Main thing I’m worried about are hip and head injuries.
I’m going to have to convince her to wear a fall detection device which will be a difficult convo. I succeeded convincing her to give up driving (when I’m looking) but it just feels like I’m robbing independence / making her feel old.
I’m sorry to hear. It’s often a difficult conversation that doesn’t always end the way you want it to.
You’re also trying to protect her from having a horrible accident without a means for someone to get to her in time as well.
I hope things go ok for you.
Thank you. I think I’m just going to try and reduce tripping hazards when I see them and work out how to do that conversation.
Please have her get a full check up. Falls are a symptom of something else going on 99% of the time. My mum reluctantly agreed to wear a Live Life alarm around 18 months ago, and she wears it daily. I can check her location, and when she fell while out at a bbq Saturday night it alerted me and my brother. We had a quick chat with her through the pendant, and all was good. My MIL on the other hand refuses to wear hers, and spent a night outside after a fall. ETA: if she’s accessed My Aged Care, she might be able to get one for no cost through a program called GEAT to Go.
and spent a night outside after a fall
Gawd that’s awful.
And thank you kindly I’m going to look into that.
I can’t tell you how shit it made all of us feel. Ultimately it is and was her choice, but I’m on her ass every day now to wear it. We don’t care about the false alarms (they do happen) but I’d rather 400 of them than that phone call from her neighbours again.
At least my mum has the brains to wear it and she even said it gives her security and the ability to get out and about, and all she has to do is push a button for help.
You might find this resource helpful: Falls Prevention
If she isn’t already using My Aged Care, get that process started as soon as possible.
Thank you for that, that’s a great suggestion.
Hope it goes ok…I know how hard it can be, as I went through this with my mum and OH did with his, too. MOL (mother-out-law) had emergency services break in one time when she collapsed and was unresponsive. Lucky the cleaner found her in time.
It was also very lucky that neither of them injured anyone (or themselves) by driving when no longer competent.
Happy extra long weekend to those that are bludging it today.
Sadly I am at work. We really need today to be a public holiday too.
Working today, and tomorrow, and Wed and Thu and Fri. Normal working week for this guy.
All who get the public holiday, enjoy it! I am enjoying the awesome traffic at least.
My man’s gone to work today because it’s a bludge. He has Friday off instead. Smart.
I am at work because I know it will be quiet today and tomorrow and I can actually do stuff. Looking forward to some time in lieu though…
I got Friday off too…2 day week somehow
@MeanElevator
I’m all “nup to the cup” but they’ll have to take the four day weekend from my cold, dead hands.
@Seagoon_I’m anti monarchy but still enjoy the Monarch’s b-day day off.
My hypocrisy knows no bounds when it comes to getting a day off.
@MeanElevator Yup. Austraya day? Change the date, but make sure that the long weekend stays along with it. Grand Final day? Couldn’t give a rat’s about the men’s game but love the Friday off, and to be equitable they really need to give us the Friday before the AFLW final. And the NRL, soccer and netball too, because why favour one sport? Actually I hear there’s an underwater hockey grand final coming up soon, and the week after that is the inner western under 15s Trugo grand final …
working, but realistically its a day spent in youtube. Stuff all going on here.
I was going to do that, but honestly couldn’t be arsed turning on my PC and paying attention.
