Managed to book in a freelance client project and feeling rather proud of myself. I used to work solely freelance but got a “proper job” at the tail end of lockdowns when work dried up. I was in a really unhealthy mental space with my freelance work and addicted to social media (what I mainly used to gain clients) so I’ve been wary of returning to it, even though I really dislike my “proper” job. I’m currently on mat leave and feel sick at the idea of returning.
I got this client through social connections in the Real World and it was just so easy and stress free. I’ve been thinking a lot about where I went wrong in the past and I have a glimmer of hope I really could make it work again this time. Honestly I am really good at what I do, I just need to focus on the work and get out there meeting people in real life a lot more.
I feel optimistic about work and my professional future for the first time in a long time!!!
Congrats! I didn't do it for that long but the freelance life can definitely take a mental toll in various ways. It's good to be away from it for a while to give you a different perspective and I think you're right in reflecting on what didn't work so well in the past and try and put in measures to prevent the same from happening. Sounds like you're cut out for this though so hope this is a new beginning!
Yeah it can be really hard! I was prone to letting work take over my whole existence, dropped all my hobbies and lost myself a bit. If I can strike more of a balance I think it would work out.
Look I know this is a bit disgusting but I really don't feel satisfied with the amount of garlic I've put into a dish until it feels like it's been suffused into my very flesh. I must feel the spirit of the garlic coursing through my veins. And for that I am happy I put half a head into yesterday's pasta dish. Still on those garlic vibes. Satisfying.
RIP. I'm very lucky garlic never affected me that much (it was more chilli and tomato). Fodmap sufferers have it the worst. Life without garlic and onion is... no life at all...
Visited Co-bake space to buy cakes by Reece Hignell from MasterChef Australia, they were delicious!!! Wasn't cheap but I considered it both worth it and a one off chance to enjoy his baking.
The image description was placed in the brackets beside the image embedding links, is that the correct place to put it?
They do different pop ups on weekends, but the baking is always high quality! It's called Co.bake space and is essentially a space for pastry and baking people to take over. The next one is on the 19th and the one after is the 26th.
Picture of a brown cakey looking loaf on a cooling rack with what remains of the other loaf next to it on a pink plate. Good thing the recipe makes 2 loaves! I averted disaster with it a couple of times.. after I'd mixed it (while being responsive to my prolifically chatty daughter and breaking up fights) I realised I had put bicarb instead of baking powder in it. A quick google revealed I could save the recipe by increasing the acidity with lemon juice or vinegar. Seeing as how I (once again) failed to buy buttermilk before I made it and had to add lemon juice to milk to substitute, I just added more. It worked!
It's a sweet walnut loaf so my fat arse loves it straight from the oven with butter 😋I like the recipe because it doesn't have a truckload of oil in it, unlike other recipes I've seen. I used to make a savoury cashew nut and carrot loaf which you would eat with wilted (lightly stir fried) greens and roast vegetables, which I cooked at the same time as the loaf. Some people like their savoury nut loaves with a sauce, like cranberry sauce, or a chunky chutney or relish. Anything kinda fruity goes well.
Cat stuff has been purchased. Lot's of apprehensive sniffing going on. Hopefully she likes it as cat stuff is not cheap lol
Forced myself to go the gym. Feel like a million bucks! Forgot about all the happy chemicals and sense of achievement.
I just splurged on a bunch of freeze dried pure meat treats for other people's cats that I'm looking after (one right now, one the week after next, and a third one after). I figure indoor cats have so little they can change about their environment that I'm more likely to splurge on the little critters than myself
Habitat Home to Pet supplies in Altona North! (I'm based westside for a bit while house sitting) There's an extensive range of freeze dried meat treats. Most of them are in the dog section but are suitable for cats as well. Nearly every cat I've looked after goes nuts for the chicken hearts. Bought chicken neck and kangaroo liver today to see how they go.
Our local vet cracks me up. They're great, but when you call them you have to choose from a 5 option menu, ranging from "Press 1 for an emergency" through to "Press 5 for all other enquiries". It's nonsense because all calls are answered by Betty on reception anyway lol
That's funny. I remember going to the movies with the clan and the place was deserted and the dude who gave us our tickets also served our popcorn then said to us "I'll be in to pop the movie on soon. Make yourselves at home".
Not that I truly read them anymore but I'm really sick of IMDB reviews being disgusting rants by racists and homophobes. Like seriously 1 star because you're unhappy a character isn't the colour of mashed potatoes, grow up.
Got myself a lil treat today and bought the t2xpenguine publishers set.

I actually really loved the withering heights design but I refuse to have the book in my house. So I’ve bought probably my 6th version of p&p. I’m so excited by it.
It was a tough decision for me too. Sherlock Holmes is the only one of the 4 that I don’t own, and I did really like the design. I might have to go back for it once the month is up.
Nothing particularly against the Brontës. If it was Jane Eyre, I’d be all over it like pash rash. It’s Withering Heights I take my umbrage with. Two of the worst characters/people doing things that really should land them in prison. They’re both emotionally, mentally and at times physically abusive to everyone around them. And it’s painted as a great love story. It’s also really fucking boring.
Two of the worst characters/people doing things that really should land them in prison. They’re both emotionally, mentally and at times physically abusive to everyone around them.
Isn't that the whole point? It's a scathing criticism of the English landed gentry, and the social class structure surrounding it. It's the same kind of thing as Honglou Meng which is a criticism of noble families in feudal China.
And it’s painted as a great love story.
It's framed as a love story, but I always saw that as a literary device that served as a vehicle for the completely unsympathetic characters. Honglou Meng is framed as a love story, too.
It’s also really fucking boring.
I think it's more that it's lost relevance. It was rather controversial when it was published. If you actually want a love story, there are definitely better better choices.
I truly don’t think I can appreciate it in any way. Genuinely one of the most upsetting and bad things I’ve ever read. I slogged through it exactly because it’s so revered, but damn I did not enjoy it
Ditto. Did not enjoy either. Crap storytelling, horrible people, the film versions seem to rely on flowing capes and on figures standing on cliff edges to fill plot gaps. But it's soooo romantic .... Hogwash. Also bunkum. Don't mind Jane Eyre though or The Professor. Of all the Bronte works, I think Shirley is my favorite - quite close in quality to a minor Austen such as Northanger Abbey or Sanditon. Anne was underrated imo.
I’m with you there, I can’t see how Wuthering Heights is a love story at all, but I will occasionally reread Jane Eyre. I’m currently listening to a podcast where they read Jane Austen and discuss, one of whom has never read Austen. It’s as close as I will get to reading them for the first time again.
I used one of my audible credits to get this narrated/voice acted version of Austen. People in the reviews are really mad because they had to take some very minor liberties with the exact wording here and there to make it work with the audiobook format. I’ve been really enjoying experiencing them in a new way though!
Right? The only bad thing is it’s got gold foiling, so it can’t go in the microwave, which is terrible news for me and my habit of forgetting about hot drinks and having to reheat them.
Love me some Weet Bix! A family favourite, and at least the picture on the box is a realistic representation of the amount of fruit someone might sprinkle on such a breakfast. The cornflakes I bought recently however.. food styling gone mad! Mad I say! Gets dragged out struggling from the kitchen
Shame I checked in too late for the brekkie postings, I'd already scoffed mine!
Still feeling wiped after Thursday's big effort (and my feet are still swollen, definitely wore the wrong shoes for walking). I am, however, on a roll with Operation Sort Shit and am going through bags I'd put aside to sort after going through the last of the boxes that I took out of the garage.
Feeling a lot more optimistic about actually having the house fit to show to real estate agents by spring, even if it's likely to be a knock down job.
I bought a bunch different toys for my cat and my sister gave me some also. The only one they like is the mouse with feathers. I bought a bunch of them $2.50 each. The one they tore the feathers off though is still the one they play with on their own most. That and shoelaces. Oh and mumma loves the tunnel. Don't like the led pointer. Cats really don't understand money.
For the longest time I had a note on my phone that said “don’t fight the storm”. It’s a fancy way of saying don’t try to control it. You can’t, you won’t win so don’t try. Learn to role with the waves rather than letting them crash into you or trying to fight them off.
Aww big hugs. I know that feeling. Messages from family give me a lot of anxiety and I try to ignore it too. I try to find some distraction, get some shit done before I have the strength to look and respond. It's not a nice feeling. Sorry not very helpful but hope you feel better soon...
I have previously responded and they’re just asking the same questions again and making things really unpleasant.
I just want to have a civil discussion and understanding but I fear it won’t be a reasonable discussion given how it’s getting more aggressive or passive aggressive.
It was probably triggered by the hot water breaking down.
I finally started to make good on a promise slowly and I guess I’m getting the messages because they’re not happy with it.
Aw man if you've done what you can to answer their questions, it's totally fair to just time out and get back to your life at least for today. Boundaries are hard to draw with family but you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes :(
It's better to be upfront with someone instead of driving yourself up the wall with "what ifs". If I were in his shoes, I'd want to know what's bothering you and communicate.
If you scanned a rewards card tho there could have been a record of the purchase? And if done by eftpos I wonder how fast the transaction shows up on your bank app
Edit: They also should have checked the cameras :/
Just got back from picking up bike from bicycle hospital, taking in Preston Market on the way. Which was heaving and throbbing with vast crowds of people. So much so that I think I will do my market shopping tomorrow early instead. Lunch will be local banh mi I think. And extra tiger rolls for scrambled eggs tomorrow morning.
Ok, there's a caff on the corner of St Georges Road and Hutton St called the Millhouse cafe. They do excellent banh mi, ciabattas and their tiger rolls are supreme. However, everything else there is ordinary at best. Don't touch the coffee with a ten foot pole. Or the bakery items - underwhelming at best. Not open Sundays.
The other place I go for banh mi is the bakery on the corner of High St and Normanby Road - cheap and quite good. Next to Psarakos market.
Just back from the Op Shop where I got a great haul of old LPs. I saw this one, did not buy it tho. But what a find, what a great cover. You young'un's might not remember but Jackie was such a huge star here in 70s and 80s. Talented, hard working, so pretty and probably the nicest person on tv.
Er… As per the previous day’s thread, I’m having trouble seeing replies too. But when I click the collapsed reply it just shows a copy of the parent comment. Doing it repeatedly makes a string of that same one
Yeah, the Lemmy software seems to be pretty unstable. There isn’t a way to turn off the “web 2.0” crap and load all the replies at once, either. Makes it impossible to use your browser’s text search on the page to find a comment.
Yeah I went through a phase earlier this year where I was drooling a lot in my sleep. I never figured out what it was, maybe side effects from meds? I think my nose would feel inflamed/congested at night and I ended up breathing through my mouth. Twas gross.
The wind blows past the people on the street
There's so many people on the street
Fall in love with every person that I meet
Every person is a treat
The scents of food, the sounds of music on the street
There's so many places to see on this street
Fantasise about every person that I meet
They're so beautiful, such a treat
Once again, it took me this long to finish cooking dinner after starting at like 6 (granted, I had to pop out for some ingredients). But I'm actually genuinely proud of myself for tonights dinner. Things I've never tried before!
::: spoiler attempt at Mexican
Arroz verde (green rice) - a sleeve each of coriander and parsley blended into a puree with onion, garlic and stove-charred jalapeños, cooked in veggie stock with rice that was first toasted in a touch of oil. Frozen green peas and chopped spring onions stirred through at the end.
Chipotle tomato prawns - defrosted prawns marinated in onion + garlic powder, cumin powder, chipotle infused adobo sauce, and a bit of lime; prawns were pan seared and honestly perfect that way. But I had these tomatoes to use up so I blitzed them with the actual chipotles that were in the sauce, and simmered it on the stove with the oil used to cook the prawns, threw in a stick of cinnamon and some coconut sugar. Then stirred the prawns in at the end.
Steamed broccolini - despite what CEO might tell you these were a very powerful and perfect addition to round out the flavours.
Five hours later and my tattoo session is finished! It took longer than expected and didn’t get to eat any lunch so I’m now at the kebab shop waiting for my takeaway burger as I feel like I’ve deserved a maasssive meal
Not sure why I waited until 10 days before I fly out of the country to do a bunch of online orders but THE RACE IS ON! It makes shopping more exciting! I'm pretty optimistic.
Got some new shorts + a TMNT t-shirt coming in one order. A new pair of Ray-Bans to replace my existing ones which have had a very good long life and travelled halfway around the world with me. This order is apparently coming from Adelaide (bought online from Myer) so that's fun. A new mattress topper from Catch and I'm considering buying a replacement for my 'holiday' cologne (Davidoff Adventure) because it's just about empty. I like to have a distinct scent for things like holidays, it helps to trigger memories and makes me feel more like I'm on holiday. Which reminds me I need to make sure I pack my coconut scented hardcore sunscreen. Gon' be HOT.
Many moons ago I visited one side of my fam in Perenjori (350km NE of perth) in summer. When we rocked up my uncle was hugging a tree (literally) waiting for us at the front gate. On that day I learnt trees are colder than ambient and that he wasn't completely mad.
My best mate in HS was a big fan for some unfathomable reason. I can't watch em BUT the soundtracks are absolute rippers. I grew up on all the theme songs. They are so bloody good. I can accept how the franchise was an iconic part of the English speaking world in the latter part of the 20th c.
What sexism? The Bond movies are full of assertive independent women . Some good, some bad. Many try to kill Bond. In Goldfinger Ms Galore threatened Bond with a gun and was going to commit mass murder using a weapon of mass destruction. What should Bond have done with such a person?
the older movies have a greater number of deaths but the newer movies have more one on one fights, the fights are nastier and more deaths are shown on screen. The new movies seem more violent.
Man talk? That was confidential state secrets. What was he going to say?
And did he threaten Miami woman with a gun? Miami woman also wasn't a colleague.
sure, Bond can be a dick sometimes but put it into perspective.
taps a woman on the bum vs woman is going to use a weapon of mass destruction
it's a different world, I wouldn't be focusing on Bond, I'd be looking at the all the examples of psychopaths and all the violence as something to worry about
Dude, he full on sexually assaults Pussy when she won't have any of his 'charms' which magically makes her change sides, and the two sisters are fridged to motivate bond - one of whom is literally punished for having sex, and laid out in such a violently pornographic tittilation that it's considered an iconic example of such.
ABBA is pretty good listening for this late night work streak. I've got a renewed appreciation for the bass lines and the outstanding engineering/production. And whatever is that combination of guitar noises at the beginning of Does Your Mother Know. Ugh so sexy.
I knoooow but I didn't work for pretty much all of Thursday and had a 2:45pm coffee on Friday and I can't sleep anyway until I know I've finished updating the data for this design review because I'm behind when I said I could get things done anyway :(
e: woooo I finally got through all the data. now to attempt some kind of sleep with my new pillow. tomorrow (today) is a new day in which I embark on doing battle with word(s). Sigh
I have, leftover chipotle in adobo sauce, frozen prawns defrosting in the fridge, a coupla very ripe tomatoes, reckon I'll cook that with rice and frozen peas. And steam this broccolini to have on the side.
I also have some swede and a parsnip I think that I completely forgot about. And might continue to forget about. I meant to do some ottolenghi recip with them.
...and two chunky knobbly Indian bittergourds. for fun. Idk maybe I'll try air frying some thin slides
Rice cooker purchased and brown rice made. I need to stop eating a dozen or more rice cakes every night as all that spread is making me spread. Late night snack will now be fried rice. Half a tablespoon of olive or coconut oil every night will be sufficient. I make it the vegeta stock and it's got just the right amount of msg in it to give it that shiny chinese take-away vibe.
Been moody as fuck today. Cycle watch on my smart watch seems to check out, day 1 of menstrual cycle. One of my old colleagues reached out to me in such a beautiful fashion I had to get back in touch, but it's severly opened the can of worms about my bad treatment from that workplace and now I'm completely spiralling and having violent fantasies and nightmares again. He couldn't know. He also wants to introduce me to his family, cos they're super interested in my transition. Look it up, I'm not a poster child for trans women, every person's transition is vastly different anyway and I'm not much different to who I was before I realised I was trans, just a ton more emotional.
Is it wrong to want to name and shame the business? I don't want to take action, cos I just want to get on with my life, but I'm constantly thinking of nasty things to write about them online so people are aware what a pack of serial sexual harrassers and complete enablers of assault and have one of the most unsafe places of business. I think I need a night of self care, but I know it's not going to solve much.
Anyone have an artist that they can listen to the whole catalogue of without skipping a track. I've a couple, the National and Dave Matthews. Fairly corny I guess, but that's my jam you know. A friend of mine recently met someone at a pub who had spent $100k seeing DMB 55 TIMES!
- slow cooked lamb shoulder in the slow cooker, and veg pretty much done. dinner coming along nicely
Corn Wave from Kiev. Caminauta from Uraguay. Molchat Doma from Belarus.
They're all on spotify, but I hate it, all my music is these days is purchased from bandcamp. As an artist I cannot support a platform which pays recording artists jack shit.
I decided to have a look at the Canvas australian flag thingy whatsit. I managed to accidentally put a few random pixels in inapropriate places, then moved the template and took forever trying to figure out how to get it back in the right spot. I think I've sorted out how not to destroy anything else now. That is a very big flag to try to fill in with time-released pixels.
You should be able to move it back to the right position in settings, you can set the horizontal & vertical position there.
::: spoiler it should look like this
:::
or you can do what I did and spend ages trying to press & hold the right pixel to move the template while trying to judge if it's right based on the bits other people have filled in.
I don’t usually do them but had some extra time today so also did last week’s. We got the right island but just not the right town on the island, which was super annoying.
Day 10 of exercises and tummy exercises completed. Was able to use the "family" room in my MILs part of the house as she went out in the morning. I like doing my exercises without hitting a door frame accidentally or nudging a storage container full of toys or craft stuff. Have also hung out 2 loads of washing, so I'm halfway through it, but that's the washing line full so it'll do for now. Now I'm gonna be lazy for a bit until the kids notice!
Ordered the usual, cheese, olive, and anchovy pizza but for some reason this time the olives taste horrible. Feel like a petulant kid picking off all the olives.
Tried out the new local banh mi place for lunch. Good filling and very generous meat serving. Viet iced coffee was $6 which seems a little steep, but this thing is potent and delicious. Reminds me of my Vietnam holiday when I would have several of these a day, the caffeine high was good. I’ll be buzzing around the house for cleaning this afternoon.
currently listening to Sharkey and his kings of dixieland , north rampart street march ( mardi gras music ) with a cover like that I had to buy it ( it's also traditional and I listen to a lot of traditional music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsXvu995hW8
Seeing as everyone else is posting breakfast pics
Picture of Turkish bread toast with 2 day old home made guacamole (didn't wanna waste it) and Oaxacan chilli oil with flavouring bits from the jar.

I load up the vanilla too, always add another tsp to the recipe
recipes always understate the amunt of garlic for some reason.
Pile it in :)
*amount.. jeez
I’ve had reflux for a couple of months now and fuck me if I don’t miss garlic with every fibre of my being. It’s so. Damn. Good.
RIP. I'm very lucky garlic never affected me that much (it was more chilli and tomato). Fodmap sufferers have it the worst. Life without garlic and onion is... no life at all...
Visited Co-bake space to buy cakes by Reece Hignell from MasterChef Australia, they were delicious!!! Wasn't cheap but I considered it both worth it and a one off chance to enjoy his baking.
The image description was placed in the brackets beside the image embedding links, is that the correct place to put it?
Looks divine!🙃
Woah woah woah what this..I want everything 😍
It was a pop up bakery with a bucketload of delicious food! It was so tasty.
Looks amazing! Might pay a visit if I get time 🍰
They do different pop ups on weekends, but the baking is always high quality! It's called Co.bake space and is essentially a space for pastry and baking people to take over. The next one is on the 19th and the one after is the 26th.
Ooohhh noooo I missed the MasterChef one!!😭 Hopefully the next ones are just as good 🥲
And hopefully after how successful it was (sold out by midday on both days) Reece will pop down again for more!
is that a vanilla slice with passionfruit icing 😍
It is and it was delicious! The custard was light and fluffy and I enjoyed it so much.
sounds heavenly 🤤😇
How much for the Upside Down Cake?
Hahaha double the price. It was an image that was the right away around prior to upload.
🤣
Mmm Devil's Food cake!
Blurgh day. Sleepy. Couch coma.
Have eaten breakfast twice. First was oats. Second was eggs and toast.
1 week until dog day 🐕
Have expanded dog's name from Adam to Mayor Adam West. Needed something vaguely Batmanesque since he has the Batman symbol on his chest
Bat Dog
That’s a baby
When I showed the pic to my brother he literally replied with BABY!!!
Ace, Azrael, Gordon, Kilmer, or Keaton? https://www.mydogsname.com/batman-dog-names/
Keaton. That's a good one
Gotham.
Goth for short
👍
He's adorable!
Some could also say it kinda looks like the Punisher shirt.. Frank could be an option. Great dog name too.
Weren't keen on Bruce?
Nah got some bad associations with the name.
Mr Smeg still wants to name him Manbat
Ahh fair enough!
I’m about to make some cheesy toast. Does anyone want some?
Yay nut loaf!
Picture of a brown cakey looking loaf on a cooling rack with what remains of the other loaf next to it on a pink plate. Good thing the recipe makes 2 loaves! I averted disaster with it a couple of times.. after I'd mixed it (while being responsive to my prolifically chatty daughter and breaking up fights) I realised I had put bicarb instead of baking powder in it.

Nut 👏 loaf 👏 city 👏 limits!!
Love it when a bit of ingenuity saves a dish. I've never had nut loaf before, do you eat it with anything? It looks so hearty and comforting!
It's a sweet walnut loaf so my fat arse loves it straight from the oven with butter 😋I like the recipe because it doesn't have a truckload of oil in it, unlike other recipes I've seen. I used to make a savoury cashew nut and carrot loaf which you would eat with wilted (lightly stir fried) greens and roast vegetables, which I cooked at the same time as the loaf.

That's funny. I remember going to the movies with the clan and the place was deserted and the dude who gave us our tickets also served our popcorn then said to us "I'll be in to pop the movie on soon. Make yourselves at home".
Could be a call queuing thing if there's a wait, emergency gets you straight through the queue
Not that I truly read them anymore but I'm really sick of IMDB reviews being disgusting rants by racists and homophobes. Like seriously 1 star because you're unhappy a character isn't the colour of mashed potatoes, grow up.
- late breakfast after a great walk with the doggo
Sorry but what exactly is this
Edit: Oh, spicy omelette
A very spicy omelette as I slipped with the yuccateco
Got myself a lil treat today and bought the t2xpenguine publishers set.

I actually really loved the withering heights design but I refuse to have the book in my house. So I’ve bought probably my 6th version of p&p. I’m so excited by it.
That P&P design is gorgeous, a trip to the bookshop might be in order( ignore that pile of Austen over there, I NEED this one)
The design is only available with this bundle at T2! And only for this month! That’s what got me in the end. I’m a sucker for limited editions
Ooh, I didn't know I needed this. Tough decision though: P&P or Sherlock Holmes?
It was a tough decision for me too. Sherlock Holmes is the only one of the 4 that I don’t own, and I did really like the design. I might have to go back for it once the month is up.
The hard split between Brontë fans and Austen fans is fascinating to me
Nothing particularly against the Brontës. If it was Jane Eyre, I’d be all over it like pash rash. It’s Withering Heights I take my umbrage with. Two of the worst characters/people doing things that really should land them in prison. They’re both emotionally, mentally and at times physically abusive to everyone around them.

someone else who has read Honglou Meng 😃 I've read 3 different translations
I can appreciate it as Art while still wanting to throw the book across the room. Horrible people being horrible to each other.
I truly don’t think I can appreciate it in any way. Genuinely one of the most upsetting and bad things I’ve ever read. I slogged through it exactly because it’s so revered, but damn I did not enjoy it

I’m with you there, I can’t see how Wuthering Heights is a love story at all, but I will occasionally reread Jane Eyre. I’m currently listening to a podcast where they read Jane Austen and discuss, one of whom has never read Austen. It’s as close as I will get to reading them for the first time again.
Ooh! What’s it called? That sounds great!
I used one of my audible credits to get this narrated/voice acted version of Austen. People in the reviews are really mad because they had to take some very minor liberties with the exact wording here and there to make it work with the audiobook format. I’ve been really enjoying experiencing them in a new way though!
Pod and Prejudice, they are on to Emma now but started with Pride and Prejudice. That audiobook looks amazing, the narrators 🥰😍
My favourite is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
I love the mug design!
Right? The only bad thing is it’s got gold foiling, so it can’t go in the microwave, which is terrible news for me and my habit of forgetting about hot drinks and having to reheat them.
I’m an ardent Austen fan and hate the works of all the Brontës, so I’m all here for you owning multiple versions of P&P.
Maybe not as aesthetically pleasing... 4 eggs scrambled with a tin of sardines, pepper and hotsauce. Eating from the pan because I'm a savage
Since we are doing breakfasts, I present to you …. Weet-bix!
(I want 6368’s breaky 😬)
Love me some Weet Bix! A family favourite, and at least the picture on the box is a realistic representation of the amount of fruit someone might sprinkle on such a breakfast. The cornflakes I bought recently however.. food styling gone mad! Mad I say! Gets dragged out struggling from the kitchen
How do you manage to be so awesome?
I am so clean. A hot shower is just the thing
Only thing better is clean sheets on the bed. And the sound of rain on the roof!
Shame I checked in too late for the brekkie postings, I'd already scoffed mine!
Still feeling wiped after Thursday's big effort (and my feet are still swollen, definitely wore the wrong shoes for walking). I am, however, on a roll with Operation Sort Shit and am going through bags I'd put aside to sort after going through the last of the boxes that I took out of the garage.
Feeling a lot more optimistic about actually having the house fit to show to real estate agents by spring, even if it's likely to be a knock down job.
Everyone's breakfast game is strong this morning.
Thanks. I did put in a lot of effort into my Vegemite toast. It's nice to be appreciated.
Freshly shorn. Baaa
TMI
Take it easy.

Excuse the mess
what a sweetie
I bought a bunch different toys for my cat and my sister gave me some also. The only one they like is the mouse with feathers. I bought a bunch of them $2.50 each. The one they tore the feathers off though is still the one they play with on their own most. That and shoelaces. Oh and mumma loves the tunnel. Don't like the led pointer. Cats really don't understand money.
I spent 150 on a little cubby house today, and she likes the 5 buck stringy toy. 🙄
Hope you kept the box. The box will be a hit!
:( I'm sorry for your loss. Might take some time. Mumma took a week to realise how much fun the tunnel was.
Ugh Gibson is so pretty and bright eyed! She's still so kittenlike
She is rather small for an almost 3 year old cat. Still crazy energetic under the right circumstances.
Trying to control my anxiety.
I thought I silenced my phone notifications but they kept rolling through and popping up and I fixed it yet I still check to see if more came in.
Anxiety can’t be fixed because I’m dealing with family and it’s my fault I’m in this position that I am now.
Trying not yo let it get to me but I don’t know if I’ll be able to just ignore it.
For the longest time I had a note on my phone that said “don’t fight the storm”. It’s a fancy way of saying don’t try to control it. You can’t, you won’t win so don’t try. Learn to role with the waves rather than letting them crash into you or trying to fight them off.
I’ll try and follow that advice. There are potential consequences if the outcome and tolerance isn’t sufficient in regards to the other party.
That definitely isn’t under my control. :(
Aww big hugs. I know that feeling. Messages from family give me a lot of anxiety and I try to ignore it too. I try to find some distraction, get some shit done before I have the strength to look and respond. It's not a nice feeling. Sorry not very helpful but hope you feel better soon...
I have previously responded and they’re just asking the same questions again and making things really unpleasant.
I just want to have a civil discussion and understanding but I fear it won’t be a reasonable discussion given how it’s getting more aggressive or passive aggressive.
It was probably triggered by the hot water breaking down.
I finally started to make good on a promise slowly and I guess I’m getting the messages because they’re not happy with it.
Aw man if you've done what you can to answer their questions, it's totally fair to just time out and get back to your life at least for today. Boundaries are hard to draw with family but you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes :(
I say go with your gut feeling here. Might be the wrong advice though.
Has bar guy started asking how your day was?
talk with partner , give and receive hugs
It's better to be upfront with someone instead of driving yourself up the wall with "what ifs". If I were in his shoes, I'd want to know what's bothering you and communicate.
I'm kind of laughing at that Yank Tank driver interviewed on 9 news, saying that "If buses can drive in the city, so can big utes".
Except a bus driver will have a truck license, and medical checks.
I saw that. He looked so tiny sitting in that giant ute.
Yikes. What a nightmare.
If you scanned a rewards card tho there could have been a record of the purchase? And if done by eftpos I wonder how fast the transaction shows up on your bank app
Edit: They also should have checked the cameras :/
Just got back from picking up bike from bicycle hospital, taking in Preston Market on the way. Which was heaving and throbbing with vast crowds of people. So much so that I think I will do my market shopping tomorrow early instead. Lunch will be local banh mi I think. And extra tiger rolls for scrambled eggs tomorrow morning.
@Thornburywitch @bot001 so sad that it may be closing, after all these years
Not set in concrete yet. There's hope. Judging by the throng this morning, there's life in the old dog yet.
@Thornburywitch 🤞🏻all fingers crossed 😊
.
Ok, there's a caff on the corner of St Georges Road and Hutton St called the Millhouse cafe. They do excellent banh mi, ciabattas and their tiger rolls are supreme. However, everything else there is ordinary at best. Don't touch the coffee with a ten foot pole. Or the bakery items - underwhelming at best. Not open Sundays.
The other place I go for banh mi is the bakery on the corner of High St and Normanby Road - cheap and quite good. Next to Psarakos market.
.
I’ve got toast or left over pizza for brunch. Decisions decisions.
Also managed to wash myself today.
Not pretty but I got by without the hot water.
Just back from the Op Shop where I got a great haul of old LPs. I saw this one, did not buy it tho. But what a find, what a great cover. You young'un's might not remember but Jackie was such a huge star here in 70s and 80s. Talented, hard working, so pretty and probably the nicest person on tv.
that's the old price from when it was new , it was actually $2
yeah, but it's got john waters
And is that John Waters?
Edit: I zoomed in and yes it is.
yes it is, 🤢 , the talentless hack
She was on The Naked Vicar Show I think????? Along with Noelene Brown one of my fab fave comedians.
Toasted English muffin with butter and some lovely strawberry jam. I'm glad I only had one left because I could demolish another 2 I reckon.
caramel coffee
I feel you. I sometimes can’t stop at one and want more.
Cheers everybody ☕
☕️🫖
Ahhh you did it!
I need to go get some milk now to have some coffee.
What what what did I do exactly?
Made me go get milk from the supermarket do I could have coffee
Cheers, I’m on my third and final☕️
Omw home from a short but sweet outing with a good friend I haven't seen in almost 6 months. Dumplings and beer can bridge all divides
💜💜💜
Er… As per the previous day’s thread, I’m having trouble seeing replies too. But when I click the collapsed reply it just shows a copy of the parent comment. Doing it repeatedly makes a string of that same one
Yeah, the Lemmy software seems to be pretty unstable. There isn’t a way to turn off the “web 2.0” crap and load all the replies at once, either. Makes it impossible to use your browser’s text search on the page to find a comment.
This happened to me once or twice last week. Seemed to fix itself though 🤷♂️
I have spent way too much time today placing pixels.
Putting on a wash on because I noticed a big drool mark on my silk pillow case.🫠rip. Is it normal to drool when sleeping as an adult
Depends who you're dreaming about
Or what.
It could be potat.
Potat... With butter and cheese... 😪🤤🤤
And sour cream, and bacon, and chives…
I confirm no such dream has occurred.
maybe i'll be in your dreams tonight
Oh, sempai...
Lil' harissa on top...
Or what. Last night I was dreaming about hot chips
Drool… Uhhuh yep. Sure. Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
Thanks for sharing. Hope it gets better soon!!
Yeah I went through a phase earlier this year where I was drooling a lot in my sleep. I never figured out what it was, maybe side effects from meds? I think my nose would feel inflamed/congested at night and I ended up breathing through my mouth. Twas gross.
Ah now that I think about it...I was wearing my mouth guard. Maybe it's that....
That'll quite possibly do it. My brother has one and does drool
Damn. Just need to get some new teeth I guess.
Yeah, hubs does it all the time, i've done it on occasion. Got ducted heating or allergies?
Could be some sort of allergy as I do get a bit congested in the mornings. I've no idea what it is.
Nose blocked, mouth opens, greeblies come out to play
The wind blows past the people on the street
There's so many people on the street
Fall in love with every person that I meet
Every person is a treat
The scents of food, the sounds of music on the street
There's so many places to see on this street
Fantasise about every person that I meet
They're so beautiful, such a treat
Cheesy toast and an apple, breakfast of champions
Once again, it took me this long to finish cooking dinner after starting at like 6 (granted, I had to pop out for some ingredients). But I'm actually genuinely proud of myself for tonights dinner. Things I've never tried before!
::: spoiler attempt at Mexican Arroz verde (green rice) - a sleeve each of coriander and parsley blended into a puree with onion, garlic and stove-charred jalapeños, cooked in veggie stock with rice that was first toasted in a touch of oil. Frozen green peas and chopped spring onions stirred through at the end.
Chipotle tomato prawns - defrosted prawns marinated in onion + garlic powder, cumin powder, chipotle infused adobo sauce, and a bit of lime; prawns were pan seared and honestly perfect that way. But I had these tomatoes to use up so I blitzed them with the actual chipotles that were in the sauce, and simmered it on the stove with the oil used to cook the prawns, threw in a stick of cinnamon and some coconut sugar. Then stirred the prawns in at the end.
Steamed broccolini - despite what CEO might tell you these were a very powerful and perfect addition to round out the flavours.

Five hours later and my tattoo session is finished! It took longer than expected and didn’t get to eat any lunch so I’m now at the kebab shop waiting for my takeaway burger as I feel like I’ve deserved a maasssive meal
Neighbours that I don't know very well are having a massive blue out on the street.
I'm standing in the driveway with another neighbour (beers in hand) and we're providing commentary.
The offending parties are splitting their rage between each other and us, and it's fucking hilarious.
Not sure why I waited until 10 days before I fly out of the country to do a bunch of online orders but THE RACE IS ON! It makes shopping more exciting! I'm pretty optimistic.
Got some new shorts + a TMNT t-shirt coming in one order. A new pair of Ray-Bans to replace my existing ones which have had a very good long life and travelled halfway around the world with me. This order is apparently coming from Adelaide (bought online from Myer) so that's fun. A new mattress topper from Catch and I'm considering buying a replacement for my 'holiday' cologne (Davidoff Adventure) because it's just about empty. I like to have a distinct scent for things like holidays, it helps to trigger memories and makes me feel more like I'm on holiday. Which reminds me I need to make sure I pack my coconut scented hardcore sunscreen. Gon' be HOT.
Those temps are no joke. Hotter than a two dollar pistol. 🔫
How do people even survive / function in that heat..
Perth people chuckling in a corner
Perth people are different for a reason...
Many moons ago I visited one side of my fam in Perenjori (350km NE of perth) in summer. When we rocked up my uncle was hugging a tree (literally) waiting for us at the front gate. On that day I learnt trees are colder than ambient and that he wasn't completely mad.
Far out, you'll be cooked to a crisp. I'd be avoiding the sun completely at those temps.
TIL about Cop City, and now I can't stop thinking "Keep your eyes open for a bargain, Cop City".
No midnight snack tonight.
I am on the path... to snackless. There are no snacks.
This is very difficult.
I want a sausage roll
I have sausages and rolls..?
have an apple instead
Mr Smeg wanted to watch a Bond movie so we're watching Goldfinger.
My Mum never let Bond movies play in our house. She couldn't stand the sexism.
I can see her point. Funny movie but very much a product of its time.
My best mate in HS was a big fan for some unfathomable reason. I can't watch em BUT the soundtracks are absolute rippers. I grew up on all the theme songs. They are so bloody good. I can accept how the franchise was an iconic part of the English speaking world in the latter part of the 20th c.
What sexism? The Bond movies are full of assertive independent women . Some good, some bad. Many try to kill Bond. In Goldfinger Ms Galore threatened Bond with a gun and was going to commit mass murder using a weapon of mass destruction. What should Bond have done with such a person?
Hrm by today's standards though the older bonds wouldn't fly today.
We're not far into the movie and that was our thought as well.
The new movies are still very violent.
They also have much better CGI
the older movies have a greater number of deaths but the newer movies have more one on one fights, the fights are nastier and more deaths are shown on screen. The new movies seem more violent.
I used to love all the Bond movies. But then The Bourne Identity came out, and it changed the whole genre for the better.
There was scene in Miami at the start where he shooed a woman aside saying "man talk" and smacking her bum as she walked away.
Just little things like that
Man talk? That was confidential state secrets. What was he going to say?
And did he threaten Miami woman with a gun? Miami woman also wasn't a colleague.
sure, Bond can be a dick sometimes but put it into perspective.
taps a woman on the bum vs woman is going to use a weapon of mass destruction
it's a different world, I wouldn't be focusing on Bond, I'd be looking at the all the examples of psychopaths and all the violence as something to worry about
Which one?
Dude, he full on sexually assaults Pussy when she won't have any of his 'charms' which magically makes her change sides, and the two sisters are fridged to motivate bond - one of whom is literally punished for having sex, and laid out in such a violently pornographic tittilation that it's considered an iconic example of such.
Going on a shopping spree for cat stuff tomorrow. Lots of boxes to play with and lots of expensive cat enrichment stuff to completely ignore lol
Beat down the walls, begin, believe, be, begat!
Be a better drummer, be an up and comer!
Can you picture that?
CAN YOU PICTURE THAT!!??

ABBA is pretty good listening for this late night work streak. I've got a renewed appreciation for the bass lines and the outstanding engineering/production. And whatever is that combination of guitar noises at the beginning of Does Your Mother Know. Ugh so sexy.
It's saturday morning you shouldn't be doing work things :(
I knoooow but I didn't work for pretty much all of Thursday and had a 2:45pm coffee on Friday and I can't sleep anyway until I know I've finished updating the data for this design review because I'm behind when I said I could get things done anyway :(
e: woooo I finally got through all the data. now to attempt some kind of sleep with my new pillow. tomorrow (today) is a new day in which I embark on doing battle with word(s). Sigh
I'll get up in a moment I swear..
I'm in the same situation.
okay recipe thoughts while I drift off to sleep.
I have, leftover chipotle in adobo sauce, frozen prawns defrosting in the fridge, a coupla very ripe tomatoes, reckon I'll cook that with rice and frozen peas. And steam this broccolini to have on the side.
I also have some swede and a parsnip I think that I completely forgot about. And might continue to forget about. I meant to do some ottolenghi recip with them.
...and two chunky knobbly Indian bittergourds. for fun. Idk maybe I'll try air frying some thin slides
Rice cooker purchased and brown rice made. I need to stop eating a dozen or more rice cakes every night as all that spread is making me spread. Late night snack will now be fried rice. Half a tablespoon of olive or coconut oil every night will be sufficient. I make it the vegeta stock and it's got just the right amount of msg in it to give it that shiny chinese take-away vibe.
Been moody as fuck today. Cycle watch on my smart watch seems to check out, day 1 of menstrual cycle. One of my old colleagues reached out to me in such a beautiful fashion I had to get back in touch, but it's severly opened the can of worms about my bad treatment from that workplace and now I'm completely spiralling and having violent fantasies and nightmares again. He couldn't know. He also wants to introduce me to his family, cos they're super interested in my transition. Look it up, I'm not a poster child for trans women, every person's transition is vastly different anyway and I'm not much different to who I was before I realised I was trans, just a ton more emotional.
Is it wrong to want to name and shame the business? I don't want to take action, cos I just want to get on with my life, but I'm constantly thinking of nasty things to write about them online so people are aware what a pack of serial sexual harrassers and complete enablers of assault and have one of the most unsafe places of business. I think I need a night of self care, but I know it's not going to solve much.

I eat rice cakes without spread. 🤷♀️
Anyone have an artist that they can listen to the whole catalogue of without skipping a track. I've a couple, the National and Dave Matthews. Fairly corny I guess, but that's my jam you know. A friend of mine recently met someone at a pub who had spent $100k seeing DMB 55 TIMES!
- slow cooked lamb shoulder in the slow cooker, and veg pretty much done. dinner coming along nicely
Bill Callahan. Probably many more. I tend to play whole albums, not tracks.
I'd forgotten about that guy. I used to love him. He still releasing?
His latest is 2022
Nice. I'll have a listen.
That's a great album. Thanks again.
Corn Wave from Kiev. Caminauta from Uraguay. Molchat Doma from Belarus. They're all on spotify, but I hate it, all my music is these days is purchased from bandcamp. As an artist I cannot support a platform which pays recording artists jack shit.
Blink 182. National is a good choice though. I don’t know a lot of their stuff, but I like what I know.
My day for today spent in front of a heater playing phone games and falling asleep on the couch and some food procurement.
Feeling really unmotivated due to everything. I wish I had a week off from work.
Left over free pizza for tonight’s dinner at least.
I decided to have a look at the Canvas australian flag thingy whatsit. I managed to accidentally put a few random pixels in inapropriate places, then moved the template and took forever trying to figure out how to get it back in the right spot. I think I've sorted out how not to destroy anything else now. That is a very big flag to try to fill in with time-released pixels.
I still can’t get the template back to the original position lol. I gave up and started writing my name like a juvenile. Haha
God woz 'ere
You should be able to move it back to the right position in settings, you can set the horizontal & vertical position there.
::: spoiler it should look like this ::: or you can do what I did and spend ages trying to press & hold the right pixel to move the template while trying to judge if it's right based on the bits other people have filled in.
Hey thank you!
Huh. QR codes are an interesting idea.
Been to the library and the market, where I scored a free bag of mandarins because apparently Benny from my fruit stand really likes me.
Now I’m going to get my hair cut.
slightly burned bacon
Secret invasion. I sequel to a movie no one really cared about that’s probably 3 years too late.
It was craptacular and craptastic
Crumble tonight was made with two minute oats. Not sure I would recommend.
Found out I'm home alone tonight, so I think I'll order a pizza and watch a scary movie.
Oooh.... I've got one for you. 30 Days of Night - Trailer
I've already got The Descent picked out, but I'm definitely adding that to my list.
Good choice! As is 30 days of night. Might fire up something similar tonight myself... Hmm
Anyone do the Quizmaster Flash? I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of the city, and now I feel like an idiot.
I didn't see that there are clues 😐 I was just doing triangulation 🙄

I don’t usually do them but had some extra time today so also did last week’s. We got the right island but just not the right town on the island, which was super annoying.
I had exactly the same experience. I've gotten the last few, ruined my streak.

Day 10 of exercises and tummy exercises completed. Was able to use the "family" room in my MILs part of the house as she went out in the morning. I like doing my exercises without hitting a door frame accidentally or nudging a storage container full of toys or craft stuff. Have also hung out 2 loads of washing, so I'm halfway through it, but that's the washing line full so it'll do for now. Now I'm gonna be lazy for a bit until the kids notice!
has anyone worn their oodie on a plane? Was it comfy?
On the plane to indo a few months ago I saw someone strip off all their kit and change into PJs right in the aisle.
Ordered the usual, cheese, olive, and anchovy pizza but for some reason this time the olives taste horrible. Feel like a petulant kid picking off all the olives.
I feel like hot cross buns and whipped cream would work really well
Maybe brandy custard
Anyone know what all the honking in Yarraville is for? Might be on the Westgate but I can’t tell. It’s been going for 20mins
Are there any geese in the area?
I don’t know but welcome to DT🙂
Tried out the new local banh mi place for lunch. Good filling and very generous meat serving. Viet iced coffee was $6 which seems a little steep, but this thing is potent and delicious. Reminds me of my Vietnam holiday when I would have several of these a day, the caffeine high was good. I’ll be buzzing around the house for cleaning this afternoon.

Far out, I might finish placing pixels by next week.
Still feel in spoon deficit from Thursday so have turned in.
My wild Saturday night, let me show you it.
Tonight’s movie is “Rockstar” with Wahlberg. A movie you didn’t know existed or forgot it existed 🙃🎸
TIL that people helm movies, they don't direct them. I suppose that since everyone is now navigating life that a leader is now the helmsperson.
Why don't you tell me what's going on?
Why don't you tell me who's on the phone?

Kabana and feeding cats snubbets of brie while we all camp out under a plushy blanket watching 3%. Life's pretty sweet
I much prefer the animation style of Incredibles 1 over Incredibles 2.
Here's another album I bought, Slim Dusty, 1963. I never noticed how appallingly racist the cover was til I got home 😨
currently listening to Sharkey and his kings of dixieland , north rampart street march ( mardi gras music ) with a cover like that I had to buy it ( it's also traditional and I listen to a lot of traditional music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsXvu995hW8
this record is bloody fantastic
