Been sleeping heeeeaps! I must need it lol
Least I don’t have any work or school at the moment, but I do need to try and keep a good sleeping pattern
Edit:
I'm being W A T C H E D
That pose is a “Yeah, you’re going to regret all the nice things you’ve said about me” sort of pose.
body double of young miss seagoon’s cat, pixie 🥰
Spud is Seagoon’s daughter confirmed.
Hell naww I wouldn’t put being my mother on Seagoon 😂😂😂 that’s an evil I won’t put on anyone 😂
I would be honoured but no.
Wow, that’s a bloody good photo! Almost looks like a stock photo
I’m still salty and grumpy about that stupid $200 fine (I’ll have spent $400 on parking fines this year) and trying not to beat myself up for being uniquely absent-minded or inattentive.
But I am proud of my little accomplishment: getting JUST under an hour at terminal parking at thr airport. I managed to squeeze in getting lost on the way in, having to turn around twice, a Macca’s order and eating it and a goodbye photo… then literally running back and rushing out and finding an empty exit lane. Two minutes longer and I’ll have been slugged another $17 (not even $14 like the website says!)
take that universe
Now to grab some rice from MKS (to store where exactly I don’t know), go home and do so many chores.
Long neck son
Oh Long Sonson
Stupid idiot fucks racing down Victoria St you can hear them from miles away. Die in a fire. Can’t wait to move out somewhere quieter next year
Agree
Just spoke to my mate that I haven’t spoken to in 12 years.
It was exactly how it was when we were best mates. Nothing’s changed ❤️
some mates are like that, true mates 🥰

Goodnight🛌
Oof. Hope you are sound asleep now!
Fingers crossed low!
I just sold something on eBay that had been up so long I’d forgotten I even had the listing there. I had to go and retrieve it from my op shop bags, it’s lucky I haven’t gotten around to dropping them off yet!
We did the Box Hill miniature rail today. It’s a good little spot with a nice track. From what I’ve heard it’s not as busy as the Diamond Creek railway so the lines are much better
I bought a box of chiko rolls on Friday. They go good in the air fryer. Better than expected
I remember their ad in the fish n chip shop; with a leather bikini girl, on a harleyesque chopper, holding the chicko roll like a cock she was about to suck. Imma say 1987. Even then as a kid I remember thinking why would you advertise a product like that.
We had her on the wall in the tea room at work
Memories! My bro had her in his bar room for years
Oh god, I remember those ads! And the big m ads with bikini girls pouring milk down themselves.
Ah yes, the
Chiko Chick
She was replaced in 2008. From the Wikipedia page: “In 2008, the company began a nationwide search for the new “Chiko Chick”, hoping to downplay the traditionally raunchy look in favour of a more wholesome “girl next door” image.”
She was replaced by Annette Melton who played Regina DeFrancisco in Deadly Women
Were they frozen? You could try microwaving them first, then paint them with some vegetable oil, then airfry them.
Sure are
The air fryer is more than fine though
I’ve never actually had a chiko roll. Is that horribly un-Australian of me? I don’t think I’ve ever had one of those fish shop dim sims either, they always look a bit gross to me.
Probably. I think they’re kinda dying off these days though. I’ve been in 6 fish and chips shops so far that said they didn’t do them anymore. Admittedly though, 2 of those were weird hipster ones bragging about everything being low sodium and didn’t even do potato cakes
I fucking hate those places. Can’t do a decent fryup for shit and charge excessively for it
Yep. Hipster cafes are usually okay, the best coffee I’ve ever had came out of a hipster cafe (though they did have pricing to match). Hipster fish and chippies though, hell nah. I don’t want low sodium chips with msg free chicken salt! I want the filthiest, most unhealthy, deepest fried chips with the most artery clogging chicken salt you’ll give me!
I actually really like them. 🙂
I also feel weird that I like them.
Goodnight all ❤️
Take two, huh gibs?
Sleep well to you and the fluffy butt
I have returned from babysitting sleepover. I will forgive many things, including being shot by nerf darts
You may have to escalate the conflict and bring a super soaker next time.
Get your own with an ammo belt and strafe
I had some good daytime and even walked a bit but then crashed and woke in the night…
Time to get some more activity in the Food Australia instance. Vicariously posting all the stuff that looks good to me and is fairly cheap/doable. I’m thinking of a pasta salad you make ahead in the cool of the evening/night and refrigerate for the next day.
Melbcat is still sooky and a bit off. She’s really lethargic and either sleeping or cuddling with me like a teddy bear. Multiple panicked calls have been made to the vets over the past few days. But she’s still eating and drinking with no breathing problems so I’ll just keep an eye on her.
I forgot to say I think I’ve gained the trust of the magpies. I’ve backed off on feeding them due to potential dependence or overweight but when I came outside one was just hanging out a meter from me and seeing what I was up to. I had to awkwardly shuffle around it to be on my way without scaring it off. Sometimes a different one will sit on the fence and watch me spritz the plants.
Yeah, maggies can become very friendly even if you don’t feed them often. Although I’m in general against feeding wildlife, I do make exceptions for things that need a bit of coaxing to form a basic rapport with and stop yourself from getting attacked
I’ve been trying to kick up a bit of activity around here, too, it’ll be nice to have a posting partner! A little bit of a recommendation, if you’re open to it: people sometimes get annoyed if you post too much in one community too quickly (even if they don’t outwardly say it). I try to keep to 1 post a day per community I post in, to avoid overwhelming anyone (we are only little after all, your posts will almost certainly all show up on everybody’s feed)
I’m sure melbcat will be alright. In fact, you too. You’re doing well. Stay strong, and don’t hesitate to call that vet if you need peace of mind or clarity on something!
Yeah lol it began as protection money.
Ok ok, cheers for the tip. I figured more Lemmy activity would be welcome as long as it was an ok quality post, but I can see how one person could overwhelm a small less active instance.
She should be ok, she’s a tough girl and if anything happens I am still able to get her to emergency by myself using the pram.
I was not there, but holy shit…my 90s self would have exploded with joy - Billy Corgan at the Gem - 1979
Pretty crazy to see someone as big as Corgan just do a raw acoustic thing at a pub.
Yeah, just casually over in the corner with an acoustic guitar happily chatting…
I can’t take constantly being behind on dishes and having them sit. It’s gross. I’m considering a bench top dishwasher… ideally I’d do it by hand every day but this is the chore I consistently struggle with the most.
Has anyone here had one?
Appliances online have dish drawers for like 1000-2000 but I don’t think I’ll be doing that. (Been budgeting my buns off but have dental coming up.)
I’m looking at the benchtop dishwashers in the $400 ballpark, and it would have to be the kind with a renter friendly adapter that attaches to the tap.
I’ve never used a bench top dishwasher but I will be if I move again and the next place doesn’t have a dishwasher. This is the first place I’ve ever lived in that has a dishwasher, and I never want to go back
Unsure how much they are or if they have them, but Kids off the Kerb might have a refurbished one. I got my fridge, washing machine, and dryer from them, they teach disadvantaged youth how to refurbish appliances.
My fridge is still going strong after 9 years or so, and the washing machine has only just carked it (I think I just need to replace the drain part though).
They might have something for cheaper than retail 🤷🏼♀️
Oh that is so cool. Thanks for letting me know, refurbished and ex display models are great
Appliances online also have one for $499 - I just looked. Good reviews and free delivery too.
Thanks! I’ll see how much the luxury bones set me back and then maybe see if I can even buy on Boxing Day
Hope it works for you. I used to have a dishwasher - but he moved out and hasn’t come back yet.
Was it within warranty period 🤔
Alas no. Past 21 years. Then his brother left too.
Oh sweet. How easy is it to use?
Are you able to easily get the tap connection on and off, any leaks, are there any flimsy plastic pieces I could accidentally break?
Thanks
Very easy to use.
I don’t use the hose because I would need a special tap fitting so instead I hand fill it. They give you jug for this. Very easy to fill.
There’s no flimsy plastic to break. Very easy to clean.
I’ll add that some plates don’t fit so I had to buy some more. Under 27cm diameter fit. Corelle make some. Medium saucepan will fit. A large won’t.
I’m considering a bench top dishwasher as well so this is good info! Thanks!
As far as I know this is the only one on the market that you can hand fill (it was when I was looking). If your tap has a thread then you can use the hose that’s supplied. You can even buy connections that allow you to leave it connected and use the tap as well otherwise you have to disconnect it everytime you want to use it. Too much hassle and that’s why I chose this one.
That’s really good to know. I do have a spare washing machine type tap in the “laundry” and space on top of the washing machine along with a power point so in theory it could be the perfect place for the dishwasher. I’m thinking of getting a second hand one maybe. Are they any good at washing plastic things (at least better than hand washing)?
Washes plastic better than hand washing.
Thanks, all this is very useful. It’s mostly mugs and cutlery, maybe a salad plate. Pet bowls
This one is perfect for you then. You can fit 24 pieces of cutlery and maybe 9 cups in there together. You can connect it to the tap or hand fill it. Washes last anywhere between 3 hours (economy) or half an hour.
The only thing to remember is you must open the door when the cycle is finished so the dishes dry otherwise mold may build up in there.
Nice, thanks. This is the stuff I need to know. Maybe when I get it I’ll start it and use the time to do other stuff then open it up
Seriously life changing
This is where I got the idea from
Not the exact same model but very very close.
Have had a benchtop since 2015ish. Sheffield model. Use the dishwasher gel, not the pellets, pay attention to any stacking requirements. I piggybacked it on the washing machine cocks and had it dump in the laundry sink at the old place, new one it’s in the brewery for glassware
Cheers, the gel would probably dissolve better
yup, we had huge issues with the tablets not dissolving properly
strange dreams again,
