Stopped the car at the zebra crossing by South Melbourne Market and who happens to cross in front of the car but my ex, that ex, the one who never spoke to me again. My initial thought was WTF and then my heart did that pain thing it does and then I got teary eyed and then I felt completely okay about it. It didn't give me this burning desire to talk to her, it didn't make me miss her, it just reminded me of the pain she caused me and then I moved on. Also to note I was not driving. lol. Thank god.
I just read an article promising to tell me 11 things I did not know I could wash in the washing machine. They failed to have even one thing I did not know. Damn clickbait.
The best method is to place the fruit and veg iniside the socks rather than washing them seperately, to provide protection to the fruit whilst saving on water.
Did you know you can wrap a piece of salmon up in alfoil, chuck it in with your clothes, run a delicate cycle, and voila! Perfectly cooked salmon every time
Many years ago Peter g’day Russel g’day Clarke cooked a bunch of stuff in a B-double truck engine. Have later seen other variants of the idea, all bad.
I'm not sure what we're reading here. Is anyone else sure super sure about about this approach to cooking fish. Is it the dishwasher or washing machine.
Bringing Dad up to moama seems to have been a good choice. I'm up $1000. Grabbing a lime thickshake and a ham & cheese toastie for lunch. Pretty good day.
I know there's bad shit going on in the world right now and I'm not trying to be funny but I just finished a coffee and I couldn't taste it. I just prepared chicken wings, I can't smell any spices. I'm fucking dirty. Of all the things that can be taken from me why did it have to be food. I've added extra chilli to the chicken wings and am contemplating tasting the Carolina Reaper paste the man raves about. I may regret that later on. I'm desperate.
Please send me pet pics, other people's pet pics, wildlife to cheer me up. Most appreciated in advance.
It was my dogs 7th birthday the other day. Here she is with her chicken cake topped with cat treats and the rubber chicken that she killed within 20 seconds of receiving it.
Try quick sharp inhales, orange peel or curry in particular. It might give you a little burst of smell and it's comforting to know that part of you still works.
Day 15/70: First day of week 3 weigh-in.
Down 0.4kg. I probably shouldn't have eaten that whole pizza last night. I tried to only eat half, but they're just so good you can't stop. 😥
Took my brain a few re-reads to compute that. I read that a cat was rescuing burning snags and was quite confused about what was happening. I could envisage a cat maliciously swiping the sauce bottle to the ground, but a daring rescue of a sausage in peril did not seem very cat like behaviour.
6 or 7 years ago I spent a bucket load on Sonos speakers, 7 placed through the house. Couldn't even afford to buy one these days, but man it's nice saying ok Google, Play ABC jazz and hearing sultry soothing sounds throughout the house..
Ask Google to play a cat meowing and watch the dog perk up. Then get the kids to go through the whole animal kingdom. Fun for the whole family and cheap entertainment too.
Pretty exciting stuff! I almost never watch cricket but I was very invested in the outcome of this one. Bourbon helped. Stayed up with dad drinking it until it finished. Bed time now.
I have it on Sunrise and there's lot's of dogs on there and they all got puppacinos. ☺
Also a dog got a little too close the other dog's anus and the owner pulled him back and gave him that look that says "not now". We all know that look.
Not sure when, fairly recently I think, but they lifted the ban on us Brits donating blood. It's the right thing to do, but it will help me as well as I have too much iron in my blood. I just reminded Mrs_Owl that I'm going in on Tuesday...and she reminded me that it's Halloween and now I really want the staff to be dressed up as vampires!
Freo was hit hard by the pandemic. The cappuccino strip still hasn't recovered. Fewer people go there now because so much is closed, which feeds the cycle of places struggling with patronage.
People with short memories think like this. Truth is WA was a drain on the country for the first 80ish years after Federation, the state is massive and had a population under a Million until around 40-50 years ago.
Yes, WA has more than pulled its weight since then, but it is balancing the books.
Remember that beautiful day where the sky was clear, the weather was warm and you felt like you had to go out and do something to make the most of it. Well, it's like that here every day.
Was last there in the 80s, so anything I have to say is long out of date. I had a LOT of trouble navigating their bus system. I really hope that has improved - would make such a huge difference to getting around without a car.
There is a vile smell in my house that is exactly like dead rat in wall I’ve had to deal with in a prior place. There is zero under house access and no ceiling hatch. Bonus, it’s in the kitchen. We’re fucked.
This happened to me once in my old apartment - I went to the pet store and bought this odour eliminating spray which really helped dissipate some of of the smell! Was still awful though for a while so you have my condolences!
Ugh, just paid for a camp-site a couple of weeks from now for the first time in ages. I hate paying, but I have a few big bits of new gear that need testing, and I can't be bothered rocking up somewhere and not having a decent spot.
I’m up too late wallowing in self-pity by reading articles about how disappointing season 3 of Ted Lasso was. I felt let down by how bad it was and want to read about other agreeing opinions.
Quick Coles run done (in which I scored Felix Jelly on sale, so between that and the Whiskas I scored yesterday that's the cats sorted) and load of washing done and on the line.
And I am wiped... I think the last month has caught up with me.
I was sleeping at the time but I’m sad to to bring this news to everyone.
My grandma has passed away, only a couple of hours ago. She passed away peacefully from what I’ve been told.
I don’t know how I feel about things yet. Looks like be taking more time off from work after I get over this sickness.
oh no, I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry to hear that. Condolences.
Thank you.
I’m sad I didn’t get to see her for one last time.
I'm very sorry for your loss and that you weren't able to see her. Take care of yourself.
I'm really sorry to hear that.
I’m so sorry
Sending you my love, I'm so sorry for your loss 💜💜💜

Thank you ❤️ I appreciate it
what the hell, RIP Matthew Perry
He drowned in a bathtub? What the?
hot tub I heard
Oh yes. I miss-typed. Makes me wonder about how many people’s hearts are at risk.
jeez 54.
this is so sad
it was so sudden!!
::: spoiler Behold the awesomeness of my breakfast today: :::
Oh my
Too awesome for clients even
oooh.
My chicken wings
Top: sweet and sour bottom: baharat (7 spices).
They were good. I think.
Oh yum yum.
oooh. That looks delicious.
Thank you. I'm starting a new trend. Chicken wings two lazy ways.
I just read an article promising to tell me 11 things I did not know I could wash in the washing machine. They failed to have even one thing I did not know. Damn clickbait.
#5 Don't wash your fruit and vegetables in there with your smelly socks
hells yes, make the bacteria fight it out
You risk the fruit and veg suiciding against the drum. Tomatoes wouldn't stand a chance with my man's socks.
Tomato juice is actually amazing for removing smells
The best method is to place the fruit and veg iniside the socks rather than washing them seperately, to provide protection to the fruit whilst saving on water.
Dirty sock is a desirable flavour in Suffolk style cider
Did you know you can wrap a piece of salmon up in alfoil, chuck it in with your clothes, run a delicate cycle, and voila! Perfectly cooked salmon every time
Omg perfect use case for my dill cream sauce scented fabric softener
A perfect illustration of the difference between "can" and "should".

I'm not sure what we're reading here. Is anyone else sure super sure about about this approach to cooking fish. Is it the dishwasher or washing machine.
It's the sous-vide version of the dishwasher one, more advanced and better results
I had it wrong this entire time!
I’ve heard you can cook it in the engine as you drive, too. Wrapped in tinfoil on top of the engine, arrive at destination and dinner is done!
Please do not use this method on muddy pets
My bucket list involves a wheel of cheese big enough that this would make sense
Bringing Dad up to moama seems to have been a good choice. I'm up $1000. Grabbing a lime thickshake and a ham & cheese toastie for lunch. Pretty good day.
You might be up $1000 but bringing you up he's like down a few $100k.
That really sounds like a him problem lol
buy him a really nice dinner 👍

Have an undignified tabby
Ted Cat up to his shoulders in the kibble bag
::: spoiler spoiler :::
😂 thank you.
little bugger, 😂 I heard a quiet rustle and knew exactly what it was , when I came in he jumped down and ran away, which shows a guilty conscience!
Thank you.
It was my dogs 7th birthday the other day. Here she is with her chicken cake topped with cat treats and the rubber chicken that she killed within 20 seconds of receiving it.
She's gorgeous and the female version of my little dog. Thank you.
Being honest that is a really unfortunate rubber chicken.
It wasn't cheap either! Or should that be cheep?!
This lovely girl has gone to kitty heaven in the sky, but I thought you’d like the pic 🧡
Oh I do. 😂 Thank you.

oh no, just heard about about Matthew Perry. 😔
And now, so have I. The news says he drowned in his hot tub.
Day 15/70: First day of week 3 weigh-in.
Down 0.4kg. I probably shouldn't have eaten that whole pizza last night. I tried to only eat half, but they're just so good you can't stop. 😥
Another day, another new bag of potting mix, another infestation of fungus gnats along with it.
Bastard things are attacking my raspberry plant

Will fix the auto opening arm later, too fucking hot to be arsing around in a greenhouse with a tiny fiddly task. You get angry very fast.
Maneki Neko cat rescue burnin snags at Preston Bunnings. Show some luv if you around 😻
Oh! I used to do Bad Cat Art for them 😺
Like this?
::: spoiler spoiler :::
That’s a good one. Looks like a face swap with a surly toddler. More like this:
You definitely have a talent for it :)
Nice to know I suck 😜
I feel things from that painting and I'm not sure what those feelings are.
Took my brain a few re-reads to compute that. I read that a cat was rescuing burning snags and was quite confused about what was happening. I could envisage a cat maliciously swiping the sauce bottle to the ground, but a daring rescue of a sausage in peril did not seem very cat like behaviour.
Dunno, I’ve had one swipe a whole chicken thigh out of a boiling curry pot.
Was that a rescue though, or a daring heist?
Depends who you ask
I should elucidate better sometimes but your version is more fun.
Turned 27. Getting old. Dislike birthday. Its depressing 💁♂️
Happy birthday. The first 50 years are the worst. Be glad that you’ve survived another year and have a chance of continuing to do so
Happy Cake Day! 🎂🎉
Naaaoowwww. Happy Birthday! 🥳
Happy Birthday! 🎂
Buy some ice cream you'll be okay.
Happy B'day. 😘😸🥂🍫
Hoppy Bird day to you!
Hippo Birdies 🥳
Hey I'm a bit late to the party on this one but I hope you have had a very happy birthday!
6 or 7 years ago I spent a bucket load on Sonos speakers, 7 placed through the house. Couldn't even afford to buy one these days, but man it's nice saying ok Google, Play ABC jazz and hearing sultry soothing sounds throughout the house..
Ask Google to play a cat meowing and watch the dog perk up. Then get the kids to go through the whole animal kingdom. Fun for the whole family and cheap entertainment too.
Then they figure out it does fart noises and chaos ensues.
I think bot #001 slept through his alarm again. Great game tonight. Aussies over NZ by 5 runs.
Pretty exciting stuff! I almost never watch cricket but I was very invested in the outcome of this one. Bourbon helped. Stayed up with dad drinking it until it finished. Bed time now.
It was a good one. The Kiwi's are a good team too.
Strange, bot#001 is running fine, no errors. It just didn't even try to post for no obvious reason at all.
I found a tawny frogmouth tail feather at the park

Can confirm. Not a Brit but I lived there 88-92 in the hey day of mad cow... Can finally donate.
That's good :) I dread to think how many dodgy burgers I had from the foodtruck outside the nightclub at 2am back then.
It's really beautiful. Clean. Transport is clean. Nice scenery to look at on the train. And clean. Melbourne looks like a ghetto compared to Perth.
warm, good public transport, water tastes salty, quokkas, so many ravens
Ravens? Maybe I need to go over for a visit.
almost the only birds i heard
If you have a raven you don't need any other birds.
So if anyone is thinking of getting additional birds just remember this post. Quoth the Rusty Raven, "never more".
Smaller and has a more relaxed feel than Melbourne. Some attractions nearby also, like Fremantle and Margret River.
Freo was hit hard by the pandemic. The cappuccino strip still hasn't recovered. Fewer people go there now because so much is closed, which feeds the cycle of places struggling with patronage.
I like perth. They don't like us though :(
Ah yes, the ‘eastern states are stealing our mining money and GST’ kind of vibe. It is a lovely city though.
People with short memories think like this. Truth is WA was a drain on the country for the first 80ish years after Federation, the state is massive and had a population under a Million until around 40-50 years ago.
Yes, WA has more than pulled its weight since then, but it is balancing the books.
Life is peaceful there, in the open air..

Remember that beautiful day where the sky was clear, the weather was warm and you felt like you had to go out and do something to make the most of it. Well, it's like that here every day.
This is why I don't like the other half of my family who lives in WA.
Was last there in the 80s, so anything I have to say is long out of date. I had a LOT of trouble navigating their bus system. I really hope that has improved - would make such a huge difference to getting around without a car.
they have improved so much: the tap card works well, the app is accurate, and they have an airport train
There is a vile smell in my house that is exactly like dead rat in wall I’ve had to deal with in a prior place. There is zero under house access and no ceiling hatch. Bonus, it’s in the kitchen. We’re fucked.
I think Hello Kitty did the bad bad smell.
If so Hello Kitty needs a special, presumably expensive, new diet
Kitty's raaaank 💨
This happened to me once in my old apartment - I went to the pet store and bought this odour eliminating spray which really helped dissipate some of of the smell! Was still awful though for a while so you have my condolences!
I have nilodour and have bicarb bombed the drains. It’s elsewhere.
I’m a motorcycle pervert. There, I said it. LOL.
Guess voyeur would be more apt, but it’s all kind of in the same vein. 😂
Edit: Probably should have added cars in there, too. 🤣
I am not going to sleep again this is not good I do not like this.

Can't sleep. Off to give the other instances a prod
Matilda are so popular right now, they had to move the game from Perth Oval to Perth (Optus) Stadium. 60,000 seats still sold out quickly.
Then they destroyed Philippines.
So the local Trichoglossuses are attempting to bone each other which, after the last few days makes me happy.
edit I mean Rainbow lorikeets
I’m up too late wallowing in self-pity by reading articles about how disappointing season 3 of Ted Lasso was. I felt let down by how bad it was and want to read about other agreeing opinions.
Ahaha, I totally do this.
After not getting much out of season 2, one episode of season 3 was enough for me to put that show to bed.
