lol the local leos back in melbs has a wall of shame too (usually about 8 piccys from cctv). Feel sorry for the staff as they're all kids and the thieves are pretty much 30+ which would be intimidating.
In Victoria we have different laws for privacy with or without audio, I don't think it's unlawful unless the person wishes to take them for VCAT for a false accusation.
It would fall under libel, meaning that they would have unlawfully besmeared your character if they are unable to provide solid proof.
96 tram stop, bogan woman called me a mong for feeling a little intimidated by her poorly trained pitbull . I did a double take, like, do people still say that?
I had the opposite once on the 109 on Vic. street. Big junky with a huge pitty got on and sat down in front of me. Driver yelled out he wasn't going anywhere if they didn't get off. Whole time doggo was just licking my hand getting pats. Obviously if it changed its mind things wouldn't have turned out well but it was very well behaved.
Hot today. It would be great if you could all refrain from burning things, crashing cars, locking kids/pets inside cars, or doing anything else that forms a risk to life or property.
Doing the Jurassic World exhibition today. I bought tickets before I checked the temperature so we're doing that first thing and then I think we'll go straight home
Suggestion: ditch the bra. Significantly more comfortable. I did a whole day's fieldwork without one on under a work shirt, and it was glorious not having a sweaty garment tightly pasted to my chest area. Reduced underboob sweat is worth everything.
What on earth is this weather doing?! Random bursts of rain, sun being utterly indecisive, random cool gusts... Not complaining though. I might actually finish this entire stretch...
I encountered them a few years ago at Fairhaven beach thinking they were harmless (but annoying) sand flies. I was covered in bites all over my body, so horrible. Have not gone back to that beach since!
Lol I thought Mr P was hosing the window to be funny, looked out whilst laying in bed and bright blue sky with.. rain. Looked interesting looking up into it.
Heroic effort to catch up after wasting yesterday (and most of this week). The energy for this coming week has been spent but I managed to deal with a fair bit.
There’s still mountains of folding and the carpet has still not been vacuumed but I just hit up anything that was necessary right now, smelled, or could attract bugs.
::: spoiler spoiler
✅ Bedding changed
✅ Groceries ordered
✅ Wildlife water filled
✅ Bin emptied
✅ Litter boxes cleaned (missed one I thought hadn’t been used)
Heck yeah finished up at 2:30, did a full day's work including half hour lunch break and didn't manage to get too overheated. Left when it was about 33-35C. Nearly finished the section, rest is easy to do tomorrow... then the whole area will turn green on the app and look beautiful 🤩
Swung by Laguna on the way home to grab some frozen tempeh (cos I've been craving it for a while) and yellow noodles (really craving a nice greasy mee goreng which will be dinner). But first I need a late lunch which will be rice with a bit of left over veg and a quick dal curry. I am going to make sure I have enough space for the glorious mee goreng though.
Can't wait to make the tempeh later this week. It's the goat of all vegetarian protein
Nah, the whole temperature controlled incubation chamber is a bit of a drag to get right. Thermostat, esky, electric blanket, baking trays was my solution but it wasn't great.
Still not too hot outside. Been at it from 6:45 (would've liked to start earlier but this is the best I could do). Let's see if I can make it to 1pm. Fucking temps reaching maximum at 5pm is ghastly
I’ve been filling the wildlife water super quickly each night and didn’t see the level so went out to double confirm the water is topped up for today’s scorcher. (And do an extra water of the flowers.) I’d hate for it to run dry from a tiny missed hole again.
Then I see the heavy little dish that had been weighing down the foil pan is gone…
Go back on the tape and some extremely odd acting guy has come inside the property line, stolen it out of the water pan, dropped it in the dirt and kicked it along… then picked it up again and taken off with it.
What the actual fuck man. I swear the people here are cooked and steal just to steal.
Let me just open this pack of ready to eat curry and add some baked chicken to it and microwave with rice. Oh too much chili oil I need to remove some. Only two pieces of potato? Gotta boil one. No veggies! Let me boil some green peas. And then cook them all a bit together. Better add some extra seasoning.
So the brachiosaurus right at the start of the Jurassic World exhibition scared the boys, but they were fine with the raptor and the scary part with the T.rex at the end. I think they were surprised to see dinosaurs to start with and then got into it
The heat and the public holiday got me, slept all day. Gonna do what I need to do and try the old sleep tablet quarter again tonight. I need to be up for phone calls and telehealth tomorrow. -_-
I was gonna get onto the folding today but not sure if I have the energy.
Saw a shriveled male and female flower pair… pulled the male one open and tried to open up the female to hand pollinate - the female flower came off in my hand. DOH. If that flower didn’t already get fertilised the little zucchini will wither and die.
No flowers on the others. I wonder how much the heat and probably too small pots are stressing these plants.
Bulleen Art and Garden used to (not bags, but will deliver with a truck. You buy how many sq m you need, they scoop it from bulk area and deliver it to you). Not sure if they still do it, haven’t been there in a while.
I definitely used it back in 2019, I hope they still do now as it was one of their big selling points. Had a whole heap delivered to sharehouse driveway and carted it to the back to engage in extensive planting. (Man, those were the days when I used to do so much more...)
I think Bunnings co-ordinates (???) delivery of 1m square bags of stuff. From an outside supplier I think. Certainly mulch, but might do other stuff too. Is that the sort of fing you are thinking of?
Good morning. I’d like to present the DT with this monumental fattyfatfat of a bee
Bumblebee!!! Haven't seen one of those in aaaages.
Life goal.
I didn’t know we had those in Australia! Have seen overseas but never here. The jumbo of the bee world.
Edit: just realised your photo may not be from here. I’m slow today.
They're around, but not common. They're solitary so you never see swarms of them. Tasmania has them in fair abundance.
Ted found the stash
He looks like he's going to do his best to chew through those bags.
can you tell he's on a diet and not liking it?
Those eyes... That's a mood right there.
There are stars in his eyes
Checking in from Hoi An 🍻
ooh you gotta get some white rose dumplings for me.
First thing I ate 😀
The local IGA has a "wall of shame" where they have photos of thieves.
Lo and behold, there's a picture of my neighbour lol
Fucking hell
lol the local leos back in melbs has a wall of shame too (usually about 8 piccys from cctv). Feel sorry for the staff as they're all kids and the thieves are pretty much 30+ which would be intimidating.
Same as this IGA they're just kids.
Time to move.
This week will give me an estimation of how long that will take.
Ultimately, if I can't get a raise, I'm stuck here till I move house.
Is that legal?
No idea tbh.
In Victoria we have different laws for privacy with or without audio, I don't think it's unlawful unless the person wishes to take them for VCAT for a false accusation.
It would fall under libel, meaning that they would have unlawfully besmeared your character if they are unable to provide solid proof.
But you would have to initiate a case.
And then Old Mate IGA rocks up with footage of them stealing to the hearing.
My local KFL does and one of my local bottle shops too.
That’s a mood
Thank you for thread @briongloid!
Doesn't seem like it's going to be that hot today.
Woke up to junkies screaming about someone stealing a cigarette.
Soon. So fucking soon.
Can I quote you on this later?
It went up six degrees since I posted that lol
Doesn’t seem like it’s going to be that hot today.
Now 37 deg outside and the north wind is howling. Another 4-5 hours to go before the cool change.
I will admit responsibility for the thunder & rain earlier - doing a load of washing AND watering all the plants probably triggered that.
You know what, you're right. I'll own this one. I went out to get a decaf and I regretted my statement immediately.
I watered too, then got frightened by a giant clap of thunder!

Fuckin aye man.
96 tram
lol 86 is up there too!
96 tram stop, bogan woman called me a mong for feeling a little intimidated by her poorly trained pitbull . I did a double take, like, do people still say that?
96 tram, junkie partakes on the actual tram
I had the opposite once on the 109 on Vic. street. Big junky with a huge pitty got on and sat down in front of me. Driver yelled out he wasn't going anywhere if they didn't get off.

Brain freezes from excessive icecream?
Better to avoid if possible. The brain freeze, not the excessive icecream. I recommend eating slowly over a longer period.
So I should stay on the couch all day? Noted
Perfect, plans approved.
Doing the Jurassic World exhibition today. I bought tickets before I checked the temperature so we're doing that first thing and then I think we'll go straight home
RIP to the poor guy in the velociraptor suit.
Big thunder and big rains.
Just had a look on radar - whoowheee!
Supplies: Obtained
Apartment: sealed
Air con: on
Couch: comfy
Iced G-string and bra combo: refreshing
You need 2 sets - one to wear while the other’s in the freezer
Smart. I'll package them in twos for this reason. Double the profit too 💰💰💰
Do they come in boyleg cos I wouldn't be comfortable with something up my clacker?
No. You will appreciate the design once you try them
I'll have to pass then but you enjoy 🙂
I googled it because I have no idea what you're talking about, and ended up with a face full of this.
::: spoiler NSFW: I don't know what I expected :::
Is that legal?
That looks like a willy warmer, not a willy chiller.
Looks like the boys can freely dangle, I guess it relies more on natural convection than cooling.
Suggestion: ditch the bra. Significantly more comfortable. I did a whole day's fieldwork without one on under a work shirt, and it was glorious not having a sweaty garment tightly pasted to my chest area. Reduced underboob sweat is worth everything.
I’m not eating gluten atm for an allergy trial, saw this ad (jewellery on a fabric strip) and thought, mmm, Lebanese bread
Will be mugging people for their toast any minute now
This looks like the world's most expensive pastry
It’s the next step up from food with gold leaf
Me withdrawing from the ATM...
Finish the withdrawal, find 4 people lining up behind me to use said ATM.
There are 2 more vacant and functional ATMs next to me.
I've noticed this at the checkout.
Coooooool chaaaaaaange.
Gratitude:
Grateful for a short week
Fluffball
Wrote a new song with words as well
Forcing the hand of my employer tomorrow (and having interviews lined up for next week)
Mini callipos
Bickfords Blood orange sherbet cordial
Just generally in a good mood!
happy dance 🌞 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2i1r5E46ug
It is amazing!
Only sold at woolies.
I may have to try this one
Happy International Chocolate Cake Day 🎉
Sadly I was ignorant of this, and have not made any preparations. Too hot to cook. I shall have to celebrate on another day!
Next hot day you can have cream and choc ripples r ready for a no cook choc ripple cake
I made chocolate mousse in preparation for this afternoon. Does that count?
I don't make the rules but I say yes.
I have stolen this idea, and frozen it
What on earth is this weather doing?! Random bursts of rain, sun being utterly indecisive, random cool gusts... Not complaining though. I might actually finish this entire stretch...
Had a great improvised jam before. Managed to get most of a song out of me which is really nice.
Goodnight all, from human and fluffball ❤️
Shopping list
new printer
new microwave
googly eyes in various sizes tending to the larger ones
picture frames

BOM app says we are 38.3 deg rn - Darwin is 30.8. Bring on the cool change.
The wind is getting nastier. The hair dryer dried my towels in under one hour!
I can see rain on the radar but it’s all passing across the south. 29 in Frankston but 38 at my place.
chuckles in east of Frankston 23 degrees!
31 here in Carlton
Change here in western suburbs. Well down to 30. Should hit the CBD soon
Heaps of march / horse flies down here atm, esp. at the beach.
Every time one gets me I can't stop thinking that they're literally sawing into you.
TW contains flies and blood
I encountered them a few years ago at Fairhaven beach thinking they were harmless (but annoying) sand flies. I was covered in bites all over my body, so horrible. Have not gone back to that beach since!
their bite hurts 🤬
Bleh. Was hoping to wake up early but had a tummy ache last night and probably didn’t sleep till 3:30am.
I’m going to be a zombie tomorrow if I’m not careful.
Heard an odd noise, went to check. It’s…raining?!
Ah. Double checked BOM and there is the chance of a thunderstorm today. Very weird
Here too. ?????
All prepared for the 40 degree temps but really didn’t expect that
Lol I thought Mr P was hosing the window to be funny, looked out whilst laying in bed and bright blue sky with.. rain. Looked interesting looking up into it.
few drops here just now
We got a smattering of rain in Brunswick just then. All dry out north but I hope it rains somewhere to cool the place down
Cool change and a bit of rain / thunder just hit the bellarine so all of you kool kids should be getting that soon.
Heroic effort to catch up after wasting yesterday (and most of this week). The energy for this coming week has been spent but I managed to deal with a fair bit.
There’s still mountains of folding and the carpet has still not been vacuumed but I just hit up anything that was necessary right now, smelled, or could attract bugs.

I've made tempeh. Took a few goes to get it right. Kinda came out looking a little meth teeth with the fungus and soybeans.
Someday I definitely want to have a go at making it myself. Seems like it'd be easier than tofu
Nah, the whole temperature controlled incubation chamber is a bit of a drag to get right. Thermostat, esky, electric blanket, baking trays was my solution but it wasn't great.
Still not too hot outside. Been at it from 6:45 (would've liked to start earlier but this is the best I could do). Let's see if I can make it to 1pm. Fucking temps reaching maximum at 5pm is ghastly
Good luck! I just went out for a quick walk and it was pleasant but definitely ominous. Don't envy you
We were planning to perform a nuclear test but there is a total fire ban. Another day then.
Sky noisy
My back hurts… and I managed to wrench my hip and knee -_-
Time to find some trash to watch on youtube
Lovely rando day despite the heat.
I downed a pint of lemon lime bitters. This weather….
Slept like a baby thanks to all my walking yesterday. Downside: ow.
Also I missed a spot on my cheeks and got sunburnt. Ow.
Hmm even though it says 24 it feels warmer than that outside but quite a bit.
humid
Awake.
Ditto. Do not like.
Still awake -_-
I’ve been filling the wildlife water super quickly each night and didn’t see the level so went out to double confirm the water is topped up for today’s scorcher. (And do an extra water of the flowers.) I’d hate for it to run dry from a tiny missed hole again.

Thank you!
Can I get a bra and G-string made out of that ice pack material used for sprains etc. (and also, did I just become a millionaire with this idea? 🤔)

The chillkini! Or freezikini!
My nipples hurt at the thought.

That's the coolest thing 😊
and it's good to be a bit scared of the natural world, I think that feeling of danger in everyday life is something that modern humans has lost
The heat and the public holiday got me, slept all day. Gonna do what I need to do and try the old sleep tablet quarter again tonight. I need to be up for phone calls and telehealth tomorrow. -_-

not too hot in the apartment today but hot outside, even so, I've done some housework and am baking a loaf of chili cheese bread
anyone know of a place that delivers bulka bags of landscaping supplies in melbs? Lots in NSW, doesn't seem to be a vic thing, frustratingly.
Bulleen Art and Garden used to (not bags, but will deliver with a truck. You buy how many sq m you need, they scoop it from bulk area and deliver it to you). Not sure if they still do it, haven’t been there in a while.

Yah, like the gorilla bags. Hmmmm....
Still, Bunnings ....
Has Colesworth stopped selling the banana lollies?
I've seen them at aldi.
Thanks, might have to stock up when I get a chance
I watched American Primeval again and it's a brutal unforgiving show, much like what real life on the frontier was like
audience reaction has been interesting, so many people, men, dislike the main female lead , they are even angry at her
and now I see it's because they blame her for the male lead getting killed
people are strange
