I'd rather err on the side of caution and keep them anonymous, but a massive fucking shout out for all the help today and the amazing stuff for the cats!!!
A mixed batch with 2 hamburger buns (kept flat by putting a small loaf tin on top of them and two standard rolls. I also used a bit of dough to make some crackers, to go with some vegies and dip for snacks.

My choice was Guardians of the Galaxy. kidcalhoon2's choice was Wicked 2.. We're about 1 hour in and you cannot convince me my choice wasn't the better one.
Finally got some more RAM and extra storage for the girlfriend's laptop. Probably not the best deal in the world if i really hunted around but it's done
I got some second hand at an acceptable price. This laptop doesn't need to be super spec'd out because aparently the battery is beginning to go on it as well
A replacement battery for my MS surface is only $24 but it's a wild process of heating and separating the parts as it's stuck together with that yellow tape rather than simple micro-screws.
Tonight's hamburger was pretty good. I've never actually made proper hamburger buns before, I'm glad I worked out I can use my small loaf pan on top as a weight. It didn't just make it flat, the weight made it a bit denser so it didn't fall apart as I ate.
and he can get any web-spinning spiders that might try to take up residence in the little hole at the end of the fabric rolls. I think he's a perfect sewing room pet.
too much internets has not been good for my mood regulation😕 the crazy thing is I would then go on internets to try to fix mood
I read someone watched a movie a day to help with that, thought it sounded like a good idea so I'm going to do that too. I have a stack of dvds I haven't seen yet, after that I can watch the telly again.
Meal prep is well underway. Dough for rolls is rising, yoghurt is draining and filling for cottage pie is simmering. Now I just need to form & bake the rolls, do the potato topping for the pie and chop up five meals worth of salads in various forms.
In my previous place I had jasmine growing on a trellis that was far too small for it, on the side of the carport. I decided to replace it with something a little less exuberant, but it tooks years of cutting and poisoning before I could get rid of it.
The kukri has become a fave garden tool surprisingly. It's just quicker and keeps its edge dealing with the little stuff. Supposed to be an ornamental thing but it works very well.
It's my last day off before the nose is back to the grindstone, including a day working down in Melbourne. Today will therefore feature meal prep, washing and gerneral last day sadness. Just a couple more weeks to get through and I have 12 days off to do as I please. Very much looking forward to that.
I didn’t get to sleep for a long time last night and didn’t drink enough fluid today. Eugh.
The black cat turned up at 3am so while Melbcat rested I slipped out to supply dry food (which isn’t good but seems preferred) and some pats. He was purring. Melbcat is still a bit quiet but has been having some of her dry food. I’ve booked a vet appointment and given her anti nausea meds just in case.

Also found out someone’s been using one of my emails for a sketchy Instagram page. I’ve already changed the password and have two factor authentication. No idea if they accessed it or if they’re just using the address without having confirmed it. Wondering if I should request a password reset and delete their gram or what else I should do

I’m really tired and didn’t do much today. But I threaded my eyebrows and put the dishes to soak. Last night Melbcat asked me to cuddle instead of doing the folding so I might sneak more of that while she’s asleep.
Computer games are kind of boring 😕 I might still play because there’s not much else I can really do right now.
I am glad I watched a movie today, I am much more chill
How Green Was My Valley, 1941, 5 Oscars
story told by a young boy of growing up in a coal mining town in late 19th C Wales
of his family, coal mining, and his community
this is an old movie and for me so very everyday
but then thinking back to the time it describes and when it was made, pro Welsh, pro union, and anti-intolerant religion it would have been very forward thinking, even shocking to some.
and in that regard it is a very good and important movie
It also looks great, all done on sets and lots and designed for black and white,

Getting closer to being done.
Thank you @[email protected] for all your hard work 😃
That looks mint
Plenty of hidey holes and places to sprawl out
this is awesome
youse guys are champs
No worries mate. Look forward to seeing it inhabited, but everybody knows they won't sleep in their assigned spots.
That looks great!
Although you'll probably get one kitty sleeping in one of those boxes at the back there after all that effort lol.
That's a given lol let them pick their box and they'll get the accompanying pillow.
So brilliant! It’s a cat palace. You and your helpers are awesome people.

Perfectly browned
They're hugging

Crude, but direct. Hopefully said dick is attached to a fun & decent person.

Excellent :)

You inspired me to watch it now.
Just finished the game recently and got a hankering for the franchise.
Your choice wins
I didn't know I needed this in my life, but I'm up for it.

I love that guy!

If you ever get married, I'd be writing up a Binding Financial Agreement lol.
The whole three months salary thing was made up by some memory compnay's marketing department.
I got some second hand at an acceptable price. This laptop doesn't need to be super spec'd out because aparently the battery is beginning to go on it as well
Just replaced mums laptop battery for $40 from alixp.
This is a dell so I might be able to find a replacement pretty easily. I'll have a look, thanks

That's good, because I like talking about them!
A group of crows are having a meeting on the telephone pole out front. I count at least 9 of them. Lots of discussion.
A group of crows is a murder.
Guess I’m done for then. If go mysteriously silent, their planning succeeded.
It was nice knowing you.
I found where my huntsman is hiding out, he's in the cupboard protecting my fabric rolls.
excellent choice, he can get all the moths 👍🕷️
and he can get any web-spinning spiders that might try to take up residence in the little hole at the end of the fabric rolls. I think he's a perfect sewing room pet.
How generous of him

I am starting with How Green was my Valley
Looking forward to the reviews
Agreed, it’s a natural thing to do when you can’t be active or concentrate on craft/a book but it sure takes a claw hammer to your brain.
Maybe I need to buy a secondhand dvd player or playstation and actually use the secondhand tv
Thanks Seagoon.
…Awake due to feeling sick and it’s not even from drinking. Boo
I hope you're feeling better today, must be so frustrating to have sore knees
It is! I’m not a good rester.
I hope your back and fingers are feeling okay
Salutations sophisticated Saturday soldiers!
I’m up. Yay
I am not handling the disruption to my sleep patterns well at all
🇮🇹🔥Woohoo let the games begin!🔥🇮🇹
beach 🙂
I managed to get out for a swim earlier and it was stunning - made even better by the dolphins that swam by. I absolutely squealed with delight!!
Enjoy your beach walk!
Looking at Reddit.
There are not many subs now that haven't had political posts/anti maga
that is incredible

On a jasmine war. This time of year is when it gets really annoying and jumps through everything at lightspeed.
Looks nice, smells nice, but no thanks can't be f'd leaving it too late again.
Weapon of choice is the kukri.
In my previous place I had jasmine growing on a trellis that was far too small for it, on the side of the carport. I decided to replace it with something a little less exuberant, but it tooks years of cutting and poisoning before I could get rid of it.
Yea it's so prolific. I hate using glyphosate but there's no choice here (and I'll still lose the battle probably).
jasmine is definitely lovely
at my last place I had bamboo and jasmine growing next to each other
jasmine would win, climbing up thru the bamboo and bringing it down
also, TIL a new word, kukri 👍
The kukri has become a fave garden tool surprisingly. It's just quicker and keeps its edge dealing with the little stuff. Supposed to be an ornamental thing but it works very well.
Just fired up new Karnivool album, let's go! Probably my favourite band ever
It's fucking amazing. Let's pretend the last one didn't happen and pick up from sound awake.
It's my last day off before the nose is back to the grindstone, including a day working down in Melbourne. Today will therefore feature meal prep, washing and gerneral last day sadness. Just a couple more weeks to get through and I have 12 days off to do as I please. Very much looking forward to that.
okay, more stuff to do with miss seagoon, brb

I caught a bit of the downhill skiing on tv, and wow they go fast! These people must have no fear.

Yeah, I did a thorough job and went over again with tweezers.
It’s so good to cuddle Melbcat. She has the softest thickest fur and loves being held
