Sitting in a fish and chips shop in Melton and a dude saunters in wearing a dressing gown, beard and ponytail. This guy should be on a government list.
I saw a guy in the chemist dressed like Hugh Hefner at around lunch time, talking to the staff like they’re his work mates, waiting for the little side door to open.
Was the dressing gown dark blue? Could be the same weirdo
Nah, it was maroon.
Air fryer scones coming out quite nicely

The bom app has been claiming it’s raining all day and it still isn’t
BOM app is showing me 50% chance of at least 1mm from 10pm onwards and not much before that. I’m going to guess most of this rain will be overnight and possibly during the morning commute tomorrow (joy…). Hopefully it clears up by the late morning. Gotta be out from 9-12.
Raining somewhere in Victoria lol
People say I’m jealous, but my kink is watching…
Dentist went alright for me too. I went to a new one that’s more of a community type one that’s mostly subsidised. Because I’m under 18, it doesn’t really matter where I go, I don’t personally pay for any of that (it’s either covered under school medical, the Medicare subsidies, or worst case child protection will pay for it), but I thought it’d be a good idea to switch to somewhere I can actually afford to go to once I age out as well. He cleaned my teeth, but didn’t use any of that nice fluoride stuff my last one used. Just that water spray thing with that little standby tool on the end that sounds like someone scratching a plate with a streak knife.
My teeth, surprisingly, aren’t as fucked as I was expecting. But I need a filling and all of my wisdom teeth are impacted, so I have to go back in a month for the filling, and get a referral to the dental hospital to have my wisdom teeth out. Scary stuff. No fun
Edit: it’s just dawning on me that I’ve never had any sort of operation before that involves anaesthesia. That’s the scariest of the parts
Kids are so dramatic. Kid in the waiting room flipping between screaming tantrum and smiling happy.
Yeah, they do that
Overwhelmed. When I had tinyest in their recently there was a kid with the same name as my kid who was just totally over it. I just wanted to give him a hug, his dad was doing his absolute best but just couldn’t distract him. Dad probably needed a hug too.
Overwhelmed, and as it is also a medical centre the kid might have been feeling unwell to start with. I’ve broken down in tears at the chemist as an adult when I was feeling unwell, so I can definitely sympathise.
His Mum was managing to distract him for brief periods and he’d be all smiles for a short period, then the whole situation would dawn on him again and he would be on the floor wailing. I expect a long nap will be in his future and hopefully his afternoon is better than his morning was.
Got to witness the birth of a bogan-mobile over the weekend. Some neighborhood teens were trying to install a f off exhaust on a red p plated commodore… with a hammer. I REALLY wanted to roll up my selves and jump under the car with them and go “right, lets get this bastard on. Then we’re tackling the sub and installing the LEDs strips under the dash right? Also if your headunit isn’t already multicolored LED we’re ripping that out too!”
Mid day yawns are killing me right now. Had a solid night’s rest, waited till 9 to have my coffee…to no avail.
Absolutely dying for a nap, but have meetings all afternoon.
Stupid cozy clothing.
A nice tea maybe?
Opted for a 2nd coffee instead.
Yesterday was bleak. Hangover and new illness all hitting at once. Feeling better after a good sleep in. Taking the day off otherwise - without sick leave feels different, no work no money is the sucky part of being self employed.
It’s great having a workplace that is supportive of clear boundaries. Am learning to hesitate less when saying “no, I can’t do any more”. Could feel myself getting very tired and cranky if I pushed on into overtime again to do the one last overdue task, so I’m glad I got to leave on time, and the task got reallocated to someone else (who prolly should’ve done it themselves anyway).
Made the tacos today with the jackfruit and pickled onions and guac. Bloody delicious if I say so myself. Looking forward to more of it tomorrow and the day after! It’s gonna be an early night for me, I think.
There’s something about someone burning their kids alive that makes me supportive of eye for an eye punishment.
something is very wrong with those people, 7 children and he’s only 29
cult perhaps?
I’ve never met anyone with that many kids that isn’t a POS
Maybe some very old fashioned notions of what constitutes masculinity. Back before the AIDS crisis of the 80s, it was fairly normal for men to be very very hesitant about wearing condoms - fearing that this would compromise said masculinity as well as being uncomfortable. And unplanned pregnancy for their wives/girlfriends was a validation of that same masculinity and was something to boast about. Attitudes like that stink on ice nowadays, but still happen.
Burn him at the stake!
eye for an eye? nah fuck that. Public execution. There are some crimes so great that rehabilitation isnt in the public interests.
An eye for an eye in this case means the offender would also be burned alive just like the victim.
nah rather a public example is made of them.
I avoid the news usually so I had a google. I’m lost for words. Those poor babies.
Miss moobeans has decided that only the Dine Desire or Fancy Feast Royale will do. Noooo! They’re quite expensive and low in nutrition (and substance) but after a week of refusing the healthy affordable brand she remains steadfast. It’s mostly gel and smells artificially savoury like Maggi noodles. I wonder what they put in there.
Colesworth is like twice the price per tin so I will give up and order a slab or two from PC to keep her having wet food.
I’m just kind of trudging along. Really tired
As evil as Amazon is I’ve discovered that they do some wet pet foods in bulk considerably cheaper than Colesworth, it might be worth a check.
I use https://99petshops.com.au/ to find deals on bulk dog food.
hugs
ted cat loves that stuff with gravy, it’s full of flavour and easy to eat but as you say not very nutritious
I slowly weaned him off and he just eats fussy cat now , he gets no variety,
Gratitude thread.
Got my uni results and even though I could’ve done better, I’m proud of myself for getting through despite going through a breakup. I’m sad I let it affect my results, but grateful that next semester, I can wholeheartedly focus on turning those results around, hopefully drama-free, with no one to disturb my peace :)
I’m grateful that I can drive with reasonable ease. I was in a major accident last year (hit by a semi trailer at high speed) and my car was squished. I somehow walked away with only minor injuries and I was back driving quickly, and I’ve made myself drive regularly, but it’s only in the last few weeks that it’s started to feel normal rather than something super stressful. Healing.
So glad to hear this <3
I am grateful my fence gets fixed tomorrow. Let’s see how happy I am tomorrow when there’s banging and power tools and little dog going off his nut.
I send the dog to Grandma’s on days like that.
Despite my grumbling, happy to have 4 interviews today, and a call from legal team to find out what can be done about expunging my record
Got some good financial news yesterday which takes some of the stress off my shoulders
Fluffy butt as per usual
Meeting tomorrow with the GM of the company that gave me the offer so I can discuss the police check. Hoping tomorrow I’m grateful for a job
Fingers crossed! So excited for you :)
Grateful for cats, even though fluffle is in velcro mode and stopping me from getting stuff done. Time with kiddo on the school holidays, one day he’ll be too big to want to hang with mum for the day. Understanding tutors who don’t make you feel stupid when you went 500 miles in the wrong direction on an assignment. Sunshine. Home-made banana bread.
Clean doggo has been given couch privileges - invite only, hopefully…
Ugly jamless Monte Carlos.
Are they really meant to be Montes? 🥺 Doesn’t matter I’d still give them a go. Well done 👏
I’m not much of a baker, I made a few errors. Shredded instead of granular dessicated coconut being a big one. Turns out I used coconut flour instead of white, I found the label tucked away inside the jar. But there’s no unmixing stuff so I’ve got this batch of maybe carlos.
Tried one. They’re tasty, but they’re a chewing commitment. Should have used more lemon zest too.
Baking is a science. I’m not a scientist. I applaud anyone who gives it a go. 👏
If that is true I take the mad scientist approach most of the time and make things up as I go. It usually gives a pretty good result. If you want something really specific or finicky (like a sponge cake) you need to be very precise about everything, but most baking is actually pretty forgiving once you’ve learned the basic techniques.
True but there’s still a part of me that goes I hope it works I hope it works I hope it works 🤞
Looks good to me :)
I think they look better stacked up. The chewiness is stopping me from picking at them so maybe it’s a boon.
Monte Carlos dont have jam for they? I thought it was some sort of sticky sherbet?
Mostly butter/icing sugar according to the recipe.
