I’m up to the sensitive new age guy scene 😹 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAHjvKQ2VpE
wakes from crash nap
I will take the night shift
I seem to have buggered up in more than one way.
That’s an amazing cake and I reckon the recipient will love it anyway
That’s wild. The bottom photo looks like it was coloured in Pantone 448 C, which was chosen for cigarette packaging.
That’s the colour green beans looked like in the 80s when they’d been boiled to death.
He does genuinely believe peanut butter is green
Oh dear
Yeah, it won’t be an exact replication but it’s best available tool I know to get a guess.
Do you try and incorporate a different taste for colour differentiation ?
Not in this case…
that is the best dinosaur cake ever
what is the problem?
Colourblindness
It’s a beautiful cake, and I’m really sorry your plans have gone awry ❤️
Thankyou, I’m having a bit of a thing about it.
???
What’s the stuff up?
That he won’t be able to see most of it colour wise!
Next time go for blue/yellow differentiation of colours not red & green. Red/green colorblindness is the most common I think, blue/yellow blindness is less common. Besides, how do we know that dinosaurs weren’t khaki? We don’t.
I’m still in a cafe still drinking my coffee really slowly and and enjoying being out.
Actually needed to get out to clear my head a little bit and work out a few things but it helps sometimes just getting out of home and doing it somewhere different even if it does seem like a very small change.
Anyway worked out some stuff and now have some clarity with a few things for the next month.
Also Devon is now 5 dollars!!! What’s the world coming to?
Migraine gone. Fuck.yes!!!
Time for some fun!
She also stole all the TP making the blood clean up effort a bit more difficult. She had this all planned.
Absolute fluffy mastermind!
Hooray!
Popping more posts in Aussie Frugal to keep it kicking.
I think some traditional frugal advice doesn’t really apply anymore (some stuff is no longer cost effective or as feasible) but am trying to think of the stuff that would still be useful to people adjusting to a newly lower budget.
A lot of it is long term habitual. His Lordship is struggling with his personal budget because he comes from a decently well off family and has always had good disposable income…meanwhile i earn half of what he does now but i grew up poor so i’m beetling along
Second this - if you’ve ever been really poor then for the most part the current ‘crisis’ isn’t one. And I have been. Choices get made on habit, but the absolute basics are still available and affordable. Does one really really need to drink only bottled water at a zillion per cent markup? Energy is another matter - what shits me about this is the unpredictability of current energy costs. Chalk that one up to capitalism.
I have been doing my own diy cleaning stuff for a while. I am working today but will pop a post over there as soon as I have time. I need some feedback on it too.
My frugality is equally driven by money and sustainability so sometimes there’s a clash - paying more for something repairable. But like you say there’s a lot of folk who are tightening up by budgets for the first time in a long time so I will try to throw a range of ideas out there too.
Fucking mower slipped on the embankment and I mowed over 2 small trees that I’d been nurturing. I’m so angry at myself. Feels like I can’t get anything right at the moment.
this is when you go to the beach and bask in the sun over some nice fish and chips
the world beats you up enough, don’t join in
Any chance of being able to salvage the 2 little trees?
It’s ok, we all have our moments like that. Step away for a little bit to regroup and I hope things get better from here on out.
They were a fast growing conifer species. I don’t know if they will recover….
Reached out to a friend and so glad I did (and that she was available). We’ve roamed around, chatted at length and I got to stop and smell the roses 🌹 I’ve decided I won’t check my email tonight. I need to recharge
so pretty 🙂
Being on the drill constantly for that long yesterday made me have a nightmare about… my cordless drill. I’m not usually emotional about… drills… but it stopped working and I was scared/sad :(
Went out this morning and it still works so that was a stupid dream.
last week I dreamt I had only one leg and used a crutch. Woke up and had two legs!
Slow cooker Silverside with Lillies Gold mustard based BBQ sauce, homemade bacon coleslaw on a toasted potato bun. Traditionalists need not apply
I’d go horseradish over mustard, but bloody good job
That looks amazing!
I hate that you’ve done this but I’d still eat that. Looks good.
Thanks. I call it “The Heretic”.
Good name 👍
It has all the required elements
🤤🤤
Probably have asked this before, but DT fam, do you keep greeting/invite/birthdays cards?
If so, how do you store them?
Or how long would you keep them?
I keep them for a few years and then chuck them out. I’ve kept some for the kids in a keepsake box.
I keep the hand made ones from kids.
I’ve kept all mine.
I bought a little file of fax folder and put them all in there.
Maybe I’m a hoarder but I’ve kept mine forever from a certain point.
I take a photo and throw it out.
These are my new glasses. Picking them up next week:
Ordered a pizza, had a nanna nap, upgraded my music software, grabbed a copy of silent Hill 2 remake for pc and some treats for the fluffy one.
Perfect Saturday!
You’ll forget to take them off and get in the shower on more than one occasion. I still do, many years later. 😂
I’ve gone to bed with my glasses on before lol
Ooh classy glasses!
Thanks! I took a mate to help me pick them, they’re really different than my usual ones
I put on my glasses to go search for my glasses
i think that means I need a higher prescription
One thing I’m becoming a Luddite about is writing things down more. There are some songs on guitar I can play if I play along to the tab, but I just haven’t been able to memorise.
I’ve written down the passages with the first chord as reference and I can play by myself a lot better now.
I used to have a folder with print offs of songs. I stopped doing that when I moved to Melbourne because I didn’t have the space or a printer.
By writing things down I can summarise passages of songs, then do the same thing for the structure, then I could just use the song name as a prompt and play the whole thing. I should have done this years ago
Hit me up if you want any help with guitar stuff.
Working 1 to 5
On a sat-ur-daay
It’s sunny outside
But I’m not allowed to play…
My own fault for signing up to a conference and thinking I had tons of time to get the work done and prep a talk. Time has bitten me on the bum again. Please shoo me away if I try to sneak back in here this arvo.
it’s such a lovely sunny day, I would go to the park and then check out an op shop or two for old LPs but I hafta stay home with a bad back
got bedazzled with Brendan Fraser on in the background.
Sitting in this glorious sun trying out a new banh mi place. Viet ice coffee’s hit different, it’s like 5 coffees in one without being too bitter. Buzzing right now and wondering what to do with all this energy before I crash hard.
