Got the phone back! I tried it this morning and it was on the move through Heidelberg. I thought it's obviously still on the bus! I tracked it through the suburbs until it was near my place and went out to the bus stop, caught that bus and found it wedged down between the seat and the wall! It was so exciting! Hey, I'm a middle aged mum, it's the most exciting thing I've done all year! The bus driver was kind enough to wait at the stop for me to search for it as well. Wonder how often they clean the buses tho..
My daughter helped a relo out with his banking because he freaked out a bit. She says to me "Mum, he doesn't know how banking works but he knows how to get on Tinder". I couldn't stop laughing. 😂
I was chatting to someone the other day and they go "i'm no good with computers!" and I was like "huh. looks like you got an iphone there champ" and they go "oh yeah I can use an iphone just fine". Ok so its not that your no good with computers its that you dont want to be.
The thing with computers is if you don't use them all the time then you forgot how to do shit.
I can show you how to do a crochet stitch and a week later ask you to do it again and you'd probably fail. Repetition is what's needed to remember stuff.
Wore heels for the first time in many forevers yesterday. Now have a confused mix of toes that ache and ones I can't feel properly. Hope this isn't cause for actual concern.
Wake was a very fine send off indeed. Don't think the cafe staff knew what hit them.
I wore stupidly high heels to my wedding many years ago and could not feel a couple of my toes for weeks. Feeling eventually returned and I still have all my toes, so I guess that means it's ok?
These probably don't even count as heels to many. I've never been a spike person, but being out of practice on even such low things seems to matter now.
The batch of hot sauce I reluctantly made abt this time last year didn't survive the move - developed an undeniable layer of grey vicious mould. I will learn next time...
Don’t you love when you have a banh mi place that every time you get one you’re just, like, “this is the best banh mi I’ve ever had”? Also love when you’re eating a banh mi and you get that moment when you’re staring down a chilli thinking it won’t be so bad but also know it’s going to punch your mouth up in the most delicious of ways?
There's a banh mi place near work that's good. I've only ever had the tofu version, but I should swing by in the morning and have the breakfast banh mi because even the tofu tastes great
Cheers for the advice on the second hand backpack. Got a bellroy classic in near new nick for 85 bucks, normally 220. No shame in jumping in at that price point.
yeah your deffo paying for a brand. I've got mates with them and they love them. but these are also mates who love B&O products when I'm just running around with a pair of cheapo bose and an old base iphone.
I like nice stuff, but I'm not paying for NICE stuff if you know what I mean.
Noooooo. Was meant to dump my bags by the door and head back out to buy groceries but somehow managed to lock myself out even though this unit door doesn't actually self-lock... actually idk how it worked because normally you can only lock it from the inside after the door is shut, and you can only lock it from the outside with a key...
Anyway, thank fuck my friend who lives down the road and has my spare keys is on his way back from a site out east, and crucially, has NOT yet left for a 4 day work trip to Halls Gap.
Sitting in the shopping centre across the road staying warm and enjoying supermarket dolmades. It's tempting to buy a bag of chips but I really have a protein craving more than anything else.
E: back in. No fish curry for me tonight. But I'll be sure as hell making it tomorrow. Old lil eggplants, fresh green beans, 4-year-old Baba's fish curry powder, oñons, bitta tomato paste and coconut milk.
There's a security door for the block of 3 units and I'm on the top floor. Nobody comes up here unless I've asked them to. I'm taking the risk. Not wearing it on me and I'll be outta here in a few months anyway.
boss yeah I'm gonna send ya a couple servers to configure.
me: aight.
boss: I need them done by tomorrow
me: doable, but you're building an 8tb stripe, that alone is gonna take about five hours jsyk.
boss: also I have just realised you go on leave next week so I want everything possible done right now. Even things that can wait. Even things that aren't anywhere near being implemented.
boss: I am going to send you every email under the conceivable fucking sun and demand you answer them instead of building my servers.
boss: I'm also gonna let a client scream at you about something I did
boss: and I'm gonna ask you if you've done something that I explicitly said I'd do three weeks ago
boss: and then I'm gonna send you another couple servers.
boss: I want these ready to ship to client tomorrow.
One time there was this awful smell in the kitchen that I just couldn’t find the source of. Searched everywhere, cleaned everything, still stinky. Thought maybe a rat had died under floor it was so bad.
It turned out to be a rotten potato at the back of the potato rack. Looked fine on top but was mush underneath. The smell was unholy, and it took months to get the residual smell out of the cupboard.
(I’m also not a filthy person, but did feel pretty stupid for missing something so obvious, lol)
christ I love it when customers try and throw their dick around "Raaar none of our other suppliers needed this data" like they fucking know what they're doing.
You don't sound big mate. You sound like an absolute cock who has no idea what the fuck he's talking about. Sit the fuck down.
Back at work after having most of last week off due to family. Spent my time getting ready considering what I could cut back on/do differently in order to reduce life costs if I just happened to trip and quit, issa a vibe!
One of my new favorite cooking techniques is to brown the chicken thigh first before slow cooking (as discovered doing the apricot chicken a few weeks back). Trying it with Japanese curry tonight. Recipe I read said 6 hours on low, but you wouldn't do the apple/potato/carrot that long would you? I was thinking 3-4 hours max.
I've been making japanese curry in a regular stove top pot. I just fry the meat separately to get a nice brown sear and throw it in with the veggies and some seasoning. Once the potatoes cook through, i chuck in the curry blocks.
I've thrown a veg/lentil curry in the slow cooker in the morning on low, gone to work, and come home 8 or 9 hours later and it's fine. Veg doesn't need that long but it doesn't seem to do much harm.
I only ever use high on my slow cooker then I'll turn it down to low if I need to. I'd put them all in together. If you're worried about the chicken drying out, dont worry it won't. Potato can take forever to cook particularly if you choose to cook it on low.
Low - approx 94°c
High - approx 149°c
Actually I'd leave the potato out and boil it separately and add it in later then you'll know it's cooked for sure.
I didnt factor in how cold the carrot and potato would be in reducing the temp so I've cranked it to high just before i put the veg in. I might just leave it on high and see how we go.
8:30 till 5 and I hate it. Means I either need to life admin stuff on my lunchbreak or time off to do it. 7am - 3pm with the occasional 6am - 2pm was such a sweet deal at my last job!
Little vid from yesterday from the pt. lonsdale lighthouse overlooking the pier / Rip. Shitty phone cam so excuse that (can mute it it's just wind / white noise). But it was wild.
I went on the pier and a biggish wave hit, made a fair few people freak out lol. Pier moved pretty violently so most of us got out of there pretty quickly.
On the way back surfers were rushing in with a smile on their faces a day after 18 ppl got swept out. Different breed.
I’m still so fricking nauseous 🤢 Surely after 4 days I’d feel better.
Melbcat is sooky too so I should probably get her checked out again.
The pumpkins are getting chunkier and more yellow. The golden nuggets are probably going to die before setting anything - the smallest slowest plant probably will. But I’m hoping that even if not ripe enough to eat, the jack be littles might at least get big enough for a nice photo piled in a dish.
(It’s hard to tell which are which over the progress shots but I’ve now started just taking pics of the biggest ones)
I've been thinking about the concept of 'Coworker music' ever since I watched a video on it. The idea is generic or bad music that coworkers listen to, never yourself of course.
I'll have music on at work and ask myself, 'Could this be considered coworker music?' I have a specific taste in music so I don't think it falls into generic coworker music, but when you get into subcategories of 'a type of guy' my music definitely falls into a 'type of coworker' subgenre.
Generally I would imagine Triple M and Fox/Nova music would fall into the category. Having worked with younger people that listen to Triple J (like I used to in my 20's and early 30s), pretty much all the current stuff played there would fall into the same category for me.
Where I work it's the R&B Fridays radio station. Added bonus of doing my head in listening to something that calls itself R&B Fridays on every other day of the week 🤪
In the video I watched it was the most over produced mainstream pop like Harry Styles. Or they'll say something like, 'I was in a dark place and this song saved me. It's such a powerful song' and it's Imagine Dragons.
Sounds like you have too distinct a taste to be a coworker, but I'd like to check out Käärijä and see what I think. I need to listen to how well Finns pull off rap for myself.
I feel like coworker music is either the most generic music ever, or they listen to something incredibly niche but it sounds terrible.
This is a new concept to me. I think I get it, but technically my office plays 90% ABC Classic so I feel a bit exempt from this phenomenon. I do feel it when I've got in the work car after one of my colleagues has used it and set the dial to triple M tho.

Paid for the iron infusion over the phone. Telehealth. Trying to line up an appointment with another dental specialist. Will finish wrapping soap so the stuff is ready to go. Then I need to print and fill out a form for something else.
Then I will have to do a tiny bit on the twin peaks. Mount Washmore and Mount Dishmore.
Melbcat is acting fussy still so I tried to sort a vet appointment out but times and days have changed and I forget who’s available to help when… I really should have addressed this earlier today but I’m not my best. Still queasy with a splitting headache.
I’ve given her a quarter dose in food to top her up until tonight’s dose and will either sort an appointment or try to get a urine sample at home tomorrow. A hot water bottle on her tummy seems to be helping her.

A few more boxes have been packed and a shelving unit disassembled. There is a lot of gunk underneath it. I am going to learn from this and make sure the bottom shelf is high enough that I can clean under it. Right on the floor might have been fine for a solid shelf, but for a shelf with gaps for things to fall through it was not a good plan.
I've been playing a psychological thriller game called Karma: Dark World. Indie studio by the looks of it. I saw someone on YT had a play through and after the first like, 10min I just decided to buy the game with my birthday money 😅
It's really good! A couple of minor jumpscares, but it's a walking sim so no combat or anything, just unraveling the mystery. I'm hooked! Voice acting is amazing, beautiful retro-futuristic aesthetics, and the setting of 60s-80s East Germany where a 'thought bureau' called Leviathan Corporation runs everything.
I don't even know how to describe the story because there's so much mystery!
Got the phone back! I tried it this morning and it was on the move through Heidelberg. I thought it's obviously still on the bus!

A random cat is in my back yard and the local birds are all panicking. Rather unusual coat pattern.
The first time a friend said she had a "two faced" cat freaked me out.
Give the kitty a pat!

Yes and then there's a little second of panic.
Eh, there are levels. Once upon an Mac+ i'd play with ResEdit. Not touching whatever the equivalent is now, too big a jump.
well, banking is made to be difficult so you don't lose your money

Yes but lately I've been making my own. That way I can put as much coriander and crackle as I like without asking.
My latest (made with roast pork. Not belly)
Yuss!
Don't listen to the people with the genetic coriander soap thing it's their loss.
ewwww. It tastes like soap
yeah. I bet your mummy cuts the crusts off your sandwiches
(I haven't had a smoke all day. I have hard to hear opinions)
Oh my..🥰
Regular Fridays with beer ❤️
That looks absolutely delicious!! And yes, excellent points about being able to do your own unhinged ratios with no judgement.
I’ve never had one of these before.
Apparently there’s a place in Bentleigh that seems to review well that makes these.
Do yourself a favour and grab one.
I’ll have to see. I’m really trying to save money at the moment.
Shop around. You can buy one for around $10.
https://www.thebanhmihouse.com.au/menu
Looks good to me.
I think that’s how much the Bentleigh one costs.
There's a banh mi place near work that's good. I've only ever had the tofu version, but I should swing by in the morning and have the breakfast banh mi because even the tofu tastes great

Second hand, the carbon cost has already been paid by the original purchaser.
With the RRP of those Bellorys they should be good. Look after it and it should last a long time

Did you manage to get back into your unit?
Yeah my friend rocked up half an hour ago thank goodness. It turns out it is possible to lock the door from the inside and then close it :|
Will be making extra copies of keys to put under doormat and in office...
Thank goodness for your friend still being around!
Careful of leaving it under the doormat. Maybe get a lanyard or wear on a hidden necklace

Source of much reading pleasure over the years. Will be much missed.
Very sad. RIP.
There was much singing and demolishing bottles of bubbly stuff. Wizard is in adequate cope.
Another little burst of warm weather coming up for this weekend. 🌞
that will be nice
You've got beach now. Pop on a bikini and mosey on down for a swim. 😊
The cats are booked in the resort for Easter Holiday. The rates are unholy over this time period.
Have discovered it is possible to spend silly amounts of money on screen doors.
Then went to the plant nursery. Ouch, and did not buy the life size cheetah statue.
finally got my black puffer
Decided to clean out the bottom shelf of the pantry - we rarely use it.
Guess where the little flies were coming from 😭💀 never leaving tea in there ever, EVER AGAIN.
Cleaned out now and sprayed in there, and wiped down the front so the cat doesn't get sick.
I'm HORRIFIED, everything has been chucked.
Edit: to be VERY CLEAR: I am not a filthy person! I'm messy, but not filthy. That has NEVER happened to me before 😭😭😭
The last paragraph 😂
I just had to add that disclaimer, I do NOT live in filth! 😂
Hahaha all good. Believe me, my place has its moments....
You’re not alone!
One time there was this awful smell in the kitchen that I just couldn’t find the source of. Searched everywhere, cleaned everything, still stinky. Thought maybe a rat had died under floor it was so bad.
It turned out to be a rotten potato at the back of the potato rack. Looked fine on top but was mush underneath. The smell was unholy, and it took months to get the residual smell out of the cupboard.
(I’m also not a filthy person, but did feel pretty stupid for missing something so obvious, lol)
I am starting to feel a little overwhelmed regarding unpacking and setting up
just so much stuff to organise
so I watched tv.
a real weepy too but I loved every minute of the show
There’s no hurry. As long as everything is safely out of the old place and you have the essentials at hand it’s fine to take it slow and settle in
life is short!!
But your cup can be as deep as you choose
Good morning all!
Yeah about that clock thing...
I'm currently enjoying the knowledge I've got extra time in bed before I have to get up.

You don't sound big mate. You sound like an absolute cock who has no idea what the fuck he's talking about. Sit the fuck down.
Thought I was having a good day till I discovered my id tag fell out of the holder on a lanyard.

Monday night Japanese curry gang checking in!!!!
Never really done it in the slow cooker BUT, potato and carrot should be fine in the SW. Apples will probably lose their texture though.
Granny Smith yes. Pink Lady, Gala, Yellow Delicious - no. Best to leave peel on though.
Yeah I'm doing granny smith. Might just give it 4 hours instead of the 6.
neither, first time. but given how good the apricot chicken came out I was tempted to give it a go.
I've been making japanese curry in a regular stove top pot. I just fry the meat separately to get a nice brown sear and throw it in with the veggies and some seasoning. Once the potatoes cook through, i chuck in the curry blocks.
Hasn't disappointed yet :)
I've thrown a veg/lentil curry in the slow cooker in the morning on low, gone to work, and come home 8 or 9 hours later and it's fine. Veg doesn't need that long but it doesn't seem to do much harm.
just trying to avoid soggy veg.
I only ever use high on my slow cooker then I'll turn it down to low if I need to. I'd put them all in together. If you're worried about the chicken drying out, dont worry it won't. Potato can take forever to cook particularly if you choose to cook it on low.
Low - approx 94°c
High - approx 149°c

I didnt factor in how cold the carrot and potato would be in reducing the temp so I've cranked it to high just before i put the veg in. I might just leave it on high and see how we go.
That's the way!
Brushed potato takes longer to cook than some other potatoes and of course it also depends on the size they're cut too and the age of the potato.
Woohoo I love early work shifts. Heading home at four instead of 730 feels like I'm getting out of prison years before I'm supposed to
My last job was 9:30 to 6, probably the main reason I quit. A friend works 5am to 1pm which I'm a bit jelly of.
8:30 till 5 and I hate it. Means I either need to life admin stuff on my lunchbreak or time off to do it. 7am - 3pm with the occasional 6am - 2pm was such a sweet deal at my last job!

Early release for you due to good behaviour.

Little vid from yesterday from the pt. lonsdale lighthouse overlooking the pier / Rip. Shitty phone cam so excuse that (can mute it it's just wind / white noise). But it was wild.

Green/underripe pumpkin can be eaten if cooked. Not as much pumpkiny flavour - more like apple but perfectly edible and def not poisonous.
Also, next weekend is going to be warm at 28 deg/29 deg so just may continue to ripen a bit more.
Fingers crossed. The tomatoes are still hanging on for a last gasp and still look fairly healthy but surely they can’t last much longer
Jeez my plants are long in the compost you're doing well!
I planted them so so late. I wasn’t going to go for it until Thorn told me their volunteer seedlings were managing and recommended cherry tomatoes
I've been thinking about the concept of 'Coworker music' ever since I watched a video on it. The idea is generic or bad music that coworkers listen to, never yourself of course.

Co-worker music has a lot of layers to it.
Generally I would imagine Triple M and Fox/Nova music would fall into the category. Having worked with younger people that listen to Triple J (like I used to in my 20's and early 30s), pretty much all the current stuff played there would fall into the same category for me.
Personally I welcome a new way to judge people 😁
Where I work it's the R&B Fridays radio station. Added bonus of doing my head in listening to something that calls itself R&B Fridays on every other day of the week 🤪
With flexible work, every day is potentially someone's Friday!!!
That would do my head in 100%. I like my own music, and thankfully can listen as I please without subjecting others to it.
What music is considered coworker music lol? Like, isn't all music coworker music?
In the video I watched it was the most over produced mainstream pop like Harry Styles. Or they'll say something like, 'I was in a dark place and this song saved me. It's such a powerful song' and it's Imagine Dragons.
Taylor fucking swift lol
The reason she's so big is because your coworkers need to listen to something
Ah okay that makes sense, like generic pop, popular with the majority music.
I have no clue what my music says about me, I tend to jump between Käärijä (finish rap/pop), Blind Guardian, and Paul Simon 😂
Sounds like you have too distinct a taste to be a coworker, but I'd like to check out Käärijä and see what I think. I need to listen to how well Finns pull off rap for myself.
I feel like coworker music is either the most generic music ever, or they listen to something incredibly niche but it sounds terrible.
I found Käärijä via Eurovision a few years ago 😂
https://youtu.be/l6rS8Dv5g-8
He has one EP and two albums, I love pretty much every song so I'm biased haha I'd say his genres are a mix of rap, pop, and a bit of metal.
EP: Peliä (Game on) Songs:
Album: Fantastista
Album: People's Champion
These are just my absolute faves, I like all his songs lol
I think that's the point. It's music you'd never listen to, but others would.
I'm an other person, my taste counts
Everyone's taste in music counts. Too personal no to. I will judge (silently) certain musical choices, but would never criticize or poke fun.
Ah okay so Taylor Swift 😂😂😂
is co-worker music like that music they play in stores or even like radio stations?
i would rather listen to the taste of one person than something that is meant to be inoffensive
I think it's that sort of music, but someone who genuinely listens to and enjoys that sort of stuff
This is a new concept to me. I think I get it, but technically my office plays 90% ABC Classic so I feel a bit exempt from this phenomenon. I do feel it when I've got in the work car after one of my colleagues has used it and set the dial to triple M tho.
Today at the beach I saw cone shell egg jellies.
Did you have a sibling nearby to piff them at?
no
As much as I’m grossed out by jellyfish, those ones are kinda cute
Printer has ink, everything sorted, still being massively obstructive. I guess HP stands for Hot (steaming) Poop
Definitely getting more used to the early wake up.
Have a great day everyone :)

Then I will have to do a tiny bit on the twin peaks. Mount Washmore and Mount Dishmore.
Melbcat is acting fussy still so I tried to sort a vet appointment out but times and days have changed and I forget who’s available to help when… I really should have addressed this earlier today but I’m not my best. Still queasy with a splitting headache.
I’ve given her a quarter dose in food to top her up until tonight’s dose and will either sort an appointment or try to get a urine sample at home tomorrow. A hot water bottle on her tummy seems to be helping her. :::
it piles up because we are alive
life is a battle against chaos

A few more boxes have been packed and a shelving unit disassembled. There is a lot of gunk underneath it. I am going to learn from this and make sure the bottom shelf is high enough that I can clean under it. Right on the floor might have been fine for a solid shelf, but for a shelf with gaps for things to fall through it was not a good plan.
There's gunk under everything. Beds, fridge and washing machine are the main culprits.

It has been over two weeks since I have watched the hobbit or lotr 😟 I do listen to a little bit of lotr audio book most days.
But I did watch Dark again.
Dark is so damn good
I’m wrapping this soap up and have no tape… learning a new skill I guess. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7TA4Whui_xA
I've been playing a psychological thriller game called Karma: Dark World. Indie studio by the looks of it. I saw someone on YT had a play through and after the first like, 10min I just decided to buy the game with my birthday money 😅
It's really good! A couple of minor jumpscares, but it's a walking sim so no combat or anything, just unraveling the mystery. I'm hooked! Voice acting is amazing, beautiful retro-futuristic aesthetics, and the setting of 60s-80s East Germany where a 'thought bureau' called Leviathan Corporation runs everything.
I don't even know how to describe the story because there's so much mystery!
Leave the gun, take the banh mi..
why not both
