Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
BE WITNESS TO MY TWO SNAP PEAS:
I think they’re snap peas can’t actually remember which ones they are.
A bountiful harvest. I can see another one coming along in the background too.
My snow peas have started to die off already, although there are a couple of later planted ones that just started flowering and are looking good. Hopefully they will keep producing long enough to get me through until the beans start producing.
Mine are dying too, and the second run never came up. Zero tomatoes also. F this weird weather.
I’m still planting tomatoes, and have quite a few backup seedlings coming along to replace any that die in the garden. I’ve got quite a few cherry tomatoes of various colours too, which tend to be a bit hardier. I have 10 different varieties of tomato all up, across four different locations in the garden, so if I don’t manage anything I will be very disappointed!
I might try again. I’ve seed from one that totally engulfed the hills hoist before, but also wanting to move, so planting is 🤷🏻♀️
Most of my cherry tomato seedlings are just taken from a supermarket mixed punnet. They all sprouted well.
Been staving off the tiredness with chores for most of today, busy doing some laundry, unpacking, washing the coffee grinder, sticking up command hooks, and mopping the house like it’s never been mopped before (the mops got two rounds of machine washing and line drying to get the dirt completely out).
I confess over winter I’ve neglected mopping for far too long because I was wearing slippers the whole time - and I HATE mopping with the microfibre finger thing tho it does a good job when you do squeeze it out properly. There’s areas that might need a fifth go over tomorrow because they still feel oddly sticky. The house definitely feels energetically (?) lighter and better now though. I have one of those spray mops now to (hopefully) make regular mopping easier.
Reheated my defrosted dinner, g&t is made, kicking back for the evening and then catching up on sleep. Don’t like overnight flights for this reason…

I’ve only been using warm water - I think the stickiness is from dirt or dust that’s gotten smooshed around everywhere…

I’m not sure what happened to the showers and/or thunderstorm that were predicted this afternoon. It’s blazing hot out there (in direct sun) with blue skies in all directions. I just put some shade cloth over my outdoor seedling area - there is a difference between “hardening off” and murder. I’ve also added some shade over the newly transplanted seedlings in the garden which are looking a bit traumatised. Hopefully we get some cloud cover soon or I might have to put some cover over the zucchinis too, they are already looking quite wilted. They will have more shade over summer once the beans grow, but at the moment are in full sun and this is a bit much for them.
Got all the mowing done in a hurry thinking there would be rain and storms…. Sigh. The snipping can wait for another day. I’m wrecked.
I’m seeing clouds, NW burbs. They don’t look very ominous though.
There are a few white clouds over east and the wind has picked up a bit, but I don’t think there will be much rain coming. I might have to put a bit of water on some of the seedlings this afternoon and hope for a bit of rain tomorrow.
Job interview tomorrow! I really want a new role asap. Hopefully before my birthday in 2 weeks! 🤞🏾

I had an egg suicide while making breakfast. I showed Mr Woof, who was completely disinterested. My old dog would have cleaned it up for me in about 5 seconds. Instead I had to use paper towel. Mr Woof is great in his security alarm role, but not good as cleanup crew.
God damn it. Little dog did bomits on the carpet. Looks like old puke-o has an angry guts. Thank God for the wet & dry vac. Anyway it’s a morning problem.
Ha! I just found out that the neonazi Lemmy instance shut down. In August. We were defederated from them, so I don’t expect anyone will have missed them.
I feel like I missed out on something. There was a Neo-Nazi instance? Not surprising I guess, but whoa.
They were blatantly racist, abusive and obnoxious. Then they were surprised that the rest of the Fediverse disconnected from them.
Something something free speech mah rights.
I love it when people scream free speech. Like yeah buddy, you do have free speech. But I also have free speech to tell you you’re being a cunt!

Did they raise the rates again?
I hope not as it could cause a recession this time around.
No holiday for us again this year. Missed out for a few years due to Covid, now it’s interest rates. Need a break ffs. My bad for buying a house at the wrong time and not having time to fix rates

I’d love to do a train trip around Japan - the coast, the mountains etc.

ee up we go.
We are still a few basis points below long term average :) and that sucks but at the time it’s mean reversion.
I’m not fun at parties.

Absolutely nobody just ate their body weight in cheesey mash in a post panic attack pms comfort attempt….”
the BOM has lost sight of proper forecasting
As a human barometer (air pressure changes are a migraine trigger for me, storms are not fun) I can say we’re good for now.
I don’t have the iron band around my brow yet either
i am waiting for my ears to pop and it’s not yet
Mine popped an hour or two ago but I’m not sure if that was due to head congestion that I already had.
looks like the storms have gone north
I can only imagine the amount of hairspray used on the fillies this year.
Riverlands and inland NSW is getting walloped, and it’s heading this way. Check out Windy.com
plants , plant food and solar batteries have been obtained. As per CEO’s advice I made sure to buy food for vegetable plants. 👍😊
I don’t think that was me but you’re welcome on behalf of that person.
i walked 7885 steps in this glare
Pfft gotta pump those numbers up Bacon. I have walked a massive 138 steps 😎😎😎
(I’m still in bed 🤪)
Good work shuffling back and forth between the toilet and your bed

you must not rest until you hit 8888, only then will the rain gods be appeased
Still nothing. Now what?
Maybe 8888 was to stop the rain. Try for 9999?
Like this? It’s not working. I want water. Not just breeze and shade.
Hmm, divine intervention just doesn’t seem to be working today. Maybe the gods have the day off too?
OK, I’m going to try extreme measures. I’ll water the garden. If that doesn’t work, someone needs to wash their car.
My car does need washing. I’m hoping I could ask the gods to do that tomorrow. Either way I just showered and I will not sweat anymore today.
Thanks for the inspo @[email protected] !
Sausage and Egg McMuff using spicy pork sausage shaped into patty.
Yummo. I’m glad you picked that cheese because it does make a difference. I had run out of them.
It was astonishingly good.!
Now you can upgrade to the filet-o-fish
Hmm maybe on Good Friday
Tonight for dinner I am cooking truffle fettuccini in a creamy garlic chicken and mushroom sauce with some broccolini as a side
two slices of beef, one boiled egg, one indomie, and grapes
This morning I broke my record for quickest commute to work ever, including during the harshest lockdowns. It’s like the apocalypse happened overnight. 40 minutes door to door. Wish the roads were like this every day.
