Also happy mother’s day to everyone, and if you’re someone that’s struggling today, I hope you have the best day you can ❤️
I see nothing amiss here…
Ah ha! The TP shotage mystery has been solved lol
Imodium really does what it says on the box huh
Quite the lifesaver tbh
One of my only 2 referneces has decided he no longer wants to be one. I asked why and he said “he doesn’t have time”.
Fucking great. Just great.
What? Being a reference is a one phone call job. What an ass.
Shit! Do you have any mates that might be able to cover for you? Like be a reference for you at all?
I feel like there should totally be a group of people who band together to act as each others reference when they don’t otherwise have anybody. Mutual aid and all that.
Fiverr? Do they do that?
It depends on giving out your names and possibly details tho, and the referring person answering unknown numbers.
heh park party rave was great. They really did that well.
Trying to find it really took me back. You can hear it but it’s like a km away and you’re walking in darkness trying to find it and not to trip over shit.
I like that they said they were shutting it down at 11pm. I think evening park raves are a great idea given how much everything costs usually. We need to make more use of our 3rd spaces.
I’ll just need to be satisfied with the moon I guess.
It is strangely satisfying when your side of a minor Reddit argument gets the most upvotes. Also slightly disturbing, given that this feeling is what no doubt fuels unhealthy pile-ons where everyone wants to join in on the “winning side” and abandons rational argument entirely. I should be the better person and focus on the benefits of thoughtful and reasoned discussion over competitive point scoring. But just for a little bit I’m going with HA HA you petty judgemental b*&% I win.
I may or may not have not trespassed on private property (without realising) to get this shot, but the view was so nice
ooh another really nice one!
Magnificent!!! 😍
I’d love to see those of you with pets try and do this. Might be good for some laughs!
Let me sleep you madwoman
Hercule Purrot!
🤣
This is proving very difficult with only two arms.
Lol nice!
I’d get bitten for sure, at least by one of them!
still in disbelief that the best sky pretty photo i got last night was from my living room window
Bacon: takes pretty sky photo from living room window using phone camera.
Me: goes outside, waits until optimal time, puts phone camera in night mode with long exposure and captures these…
Same except mine was just bright with light pollution. I even went to a nearby park and still nothing. Maybe my timing was wrong or bad location. I will just have to live vicariously through other people’s photos.
Philosophical side note: we all live in the same world but some of us get auroras and some of us don’t. Hmmm.
Bacon is serving aurora jelly you might like if you missed out on sky pretty.
I may have to sample some. Reminds me of the dessert ‘stained glass windows’ which is different coloured jellies in a milk jelly.
in your phone’s defense, I used a camera at f/2, ISO 400, 1.6 seconds exposure. My phone does not have night mode and performed even worse.
Friend came over and we moved off the last of the planter boxes from my balcony. It’s so sad and empty now. And it’s an effing pain to go pick some herbs or water my plants or anything - gotta exit my apt, go down two sets of steps, open the main door, walk 300m, back up another flight… plants are in a more exposed area too, I worry about the curry leaf plants. I see the snails have already gotten to some of my seedlings in absence of my maintenance. :/
I really hope the landlord gets the balcony fixed soon because it’s denying me use of space that I’m paying for. If she drags it out thinking it’s a bonus for her to have all my pesky plants in the common area and not on her balcony, I’ll definitely contact Tenants Vic to figure out my options.
Hate that the rental market is such that I don’t have much leverage to say fuck you I’ll move. (also as much as I’m tired of the area I live in, it’s so close to my new job that I’m not sure I do want to move further out for now).
Gonna try and not stew on this and instead get to work reorganising and watering everything + applying copper tape on all the pots not just the biggest ones
So much Eurovision drama. Joost has been disqualified for… something. Meanwhile myf and Joel’s commentary of Israel was just… I mean Joel opened in with a loud audible sigh. That sort of tells you everything. Norways jury voice has pulled out, Ireland are pissed at Israel, meanwhile Israel somehow got through with one of the weaker songs of the night? Crazy stuff.
Sadly I won’t be checking any socials between now and tomorrow night when I’ve watched the grand final, but maaaaaaaan spewing I’m gonna miss the updates in between cause it sounds like the Dutch and Irish are about to go to war with the EBU.
I keep forgetting about Eurovision every year but this year my funny reminder of it was randomly looking through SmartTraveller advice out of curiosity and seeing Sweden on the “exercise a high degree of caution” list because… Eurovision results are out soon and there may be unrest.
Lmfao.
Israel is currently second behind Croatia in the odds. They didn’t just get through, they may take out the whole thing. The drama of that win… but I think Croatia’s got it.
evidentially Croatia didnt have the “Code” all all the jury announcers were so stoked to point out.
I came for the songs, I stay for the juicy juicy drama
The worst part of the plant stuff is done. I still need to repot my manzano and prune back the red hot poker, and buy some veg to make dinner and meals for the next few days. Plus figure out what to do with all this rosemary I pruned off, and stock up on some oil and rice so I don’t need to do it after my trip…
…and despite all my going on about it, I’ve yet to start on my scotch bonnet pepper ferment. I gotta do that today so I can move that plant out onto the common area too.
Plus I still haven’t organised a full itinerary for my trip in 10 days time, I have an idea of where to go but need to sort out accom asap…
Argh, I want to just lie down and enjoy the rest of the day! I have a busy week ahead next week too, stuff on after work every single day 😫 and the weekend needs to be set aside for packing. I think I need to really be disciplined with my work end times the next week. No hanging around for a yarn
Good luck and same here.
I have a lot of household and garden tasks, necessary shopping and I feel very motivated to do lots of art practice. I will have to start getting up early if I want to get stuff done!! 😊 Thankfully I am bored with tv and politics/news now so that won’t be wasting my time.
It’s definitely a good feeling to be away from the news/politics, not draining my energy unnecessarily. Though I find I am still tempted to retreat into online spaces/phone when I need some downtime and am stressed out or annoyed by people, I’d like to find some other outlets that I’ll actually stick to.
Google timeline for April just arrived. According to Google the highlights of my month were a trip to the dentist in Blackburn South, followed by my exciting shopping trip to Supercheap Auto to get headlight bulbs. Sadly, I think this may be accurate 🤣
@RustyRaven @Seagoon_ I used to live near Blackburn when I was growing up.
It’s a very, very, very quiet suburb.
I’m not sure how it would count as a highlight?
It counts as a highlight by being pretty much the only place I have been outside of home and work. It’s definitely an improvement on some of those lockdown months where the highlight was stopping for petrol on the way home from work.
There’s 2 days in a month where I give my ovaries what it wants. Today they got pancakes and Singapore noodles and a wheat bag. Later they may need some chocolate and Bailey’s.
We appear to be in sync. Attempting to not eat the entire pantry.
