Went out with a friend today for lunch and she at least appeared to be listening to me talk shit 😮
Normally I tend to be quiet and let the other person talk because I’m not interesting enough. Today I felt like I could actually be myself. Unmasking!
I survived the green cookie incident. I think I’ll stick to baking my own. Need to find a good salted caramel white choc cookie recipe ……
apparently we are the only ape that will reject mouldy food, we also are not attracted to blue as food, blue is not food.
This is why bandaids in restaurant kitchens are always blue. No food is blue, so you’ll notice if you lose one
TIL.
Do a salted caramel drizzle over white choc chip cookies?
Sitting here for the first half of the article going “Please not my council, please not us” It wasnt, thank god. But thats honestly a surprise that it wasnt.
I thought we were past this as a country. 🫤 But there are always going to be extremist arseholes.
If you check any Australian reddit sub (cities, states, Australia or Australian, etc) you’ll find we are not past this at all. There are gross people all over, and they walk among us 😭
they are the minority and their loud extremism means they are noticed
good people are quiet in their goodness and go un noticed
I’m not surprised that it is mine 🫠
“The real concern driving CEO resistance is the fact that remote work involves a previously unthinkable change in the way productive activity is structured and organised. If workers can do without the physical presence of managers, perhaps they don’t need managers at all, at least in the way they currently operate. The eagerness of CEOs and other senior managers to wish these changes away suggests that, at some level, they realise this.”
*Removing as it was a rant
On The Chasers the contestants introduce themselves and add a little tidbit about themselves. Eg.
Hi I’m CEO and I learnt technology tonight. ☺
I want to hear your introductions.
I’m Spud and I smell like goats.
Yum.
Either we use the same moisturiser or I should ask you for cheese
Idk what kind of cheese would come from me, but I think it may be some kind of biohazard so I cannot in good concious recommend it at all.
Hi I’m Simon, I enjoy pooping normally
Oh dear Simon. Tell me more.
A bit of left over therapy learnin, your large intestine, you can massage it externally to encourage digestive motility (moving it along) and aid peristalsis (intestinal poo wave). But the jist is that you rub your belly in a large circle following the large intestine while also doing little circles through that path to work it.
I’ve screenshotted this post.
Huh. So that’s what that’s called. I do it just because it makes me feel better lol. I think I prefer ‘intestinal poo wave’ over ‘peristalsis’, just because the latter is funnier.
Hi, I’m Lady Seagoon and I like to collect and listen to all kinds of really old music LPs.
What’s your most favourite LP Lady Seagoon?
There’s a yehudi menuhin I really like and Khachaturian, and a Rimsky Korsakov . But there are so many that are awesome.
Hi I’m Spin and I… am a bit of a nerd?
Hi I’m Catfish. I’m neither a cat nor a fish. Nor am I a Troll. Anymore. Most of the time.
I don’t know why, but your comment reminded me of the CatDog theme song
Is this for real?
No, it’s just fantasy
This is the third time in a row I have not had to pay for my coffee. Which means my husband has paid for 15 in a row and I’ve swooped in and collected the freebies.
Are you secretly my wife? This post sounds a lot like her 😂 She’s dropping our son off to uni at the moment and will probably claim her next freebie on the way home I reckon.
I hope she enjoyed her freebie. I know I did 😂
She definitely did, thank you 😂 Even claimed second one for her mum who was with her. Looks like I need to start accumulating some more freebies for her!
Is that not what he’s for?
He has other uses. He’s very versatile.
shaping up to have some nice weather so will go out and do some errands 🌞
have been listening to these guys, I can’t believe this is the first time I;ve played them on my little stereo, they sound pretty good!

I must lose weight
Here you go. These ones have no calories.
Thank you. 🥹
My faves are the orange ones, then lemon, then blackcurrant
Blackcurrant, lime, lemon 😺
probably more a gardening question, but still gonna ask it. I got a wheelbarrow full of dead weeds and green waste. I’ve got a backyard of clay and rubble. its not draining well, as you might imagine.
Thinking about digging out a section of clay and dumping my greenwaste into the hole, top dressing it and seeing how it impacts my drainage. I’ve dug some random holes already and filled with some sticks and stuff to try help break up the clay, but its taking an eternity and I’d rather deploy a more dramatic test and make sure I’m not wasting my time. Any thoughts?
https://www.wikihow.com/Break-Down-Clay-Soil-Fast
first thing is using a fork to aerate
FIRST FIX YOUR DRAINAGE. This should be the 11th commandment of gardening. Aggie pipes, gravel drains, swales whatever.
Digging a hole will only drain a small part, any organics in the hole will just rot anaerobically (aka smelly). Top dressing will not change the presence or absence of oxygen. Holes gotta be connected to your drainage for this method to function. Clay is used to seal the base of dams etc for a reason - it’s waterproof.
That having been said, I’ve dealt with nasty clay in EBrunswick and turned it into a garden. First, the water’s gotta go somewhere, so decide on your drainage pattern. Remembering that water flows downhill, and that isn’t all going to be water. Draining/breaking up clay soil, there shalt be SILT. This is inescapable. So your drainage has to be capable of handling/filtering out silt. All the above cos clay IS silt that has settled in one spot due to being on a flood plain at one point or another in history.
Then using fork break up clay into largeish clumps that form rows pointing towards your drainage. I’m talking tennis to basketball sizes. You will be amazed at the amount of water released by this process. Sprinkle gypsum (clay breaker) thickly over the clumps. Leave for a couple of days. Then smash down the biggest clumps with a fork and sprinkle more gypsum. Level off the area a bit, without compacting it. Air & water gotta get in and out. Then cover with thick layer of mulch, autumn leaves, dead weeds, compost, straw, wood chips, worm castings, mushroom compost, sheep manure, reserved top soil - any organic matter you can get your hands on - even pine needles. This layer needs to be THICK. Leave for a few months. If your dogs like to dig, cover with chicken wire pegged down with tentpegs.
Turn over the area with fork after a few months to mix in the organics - the clay should have been reduced to quite small lumps by the above process, and there should be quite good vegetable matter incorporated. Water should either be being absorbed by the organics or running off into your drainage. Add more organics and mix in with fork. Ready to plant a couple of weeks after that.
Its a whole lotta work, but on the good side, once clay has been broken up, it’s incredibly fertile and you may not ever need to add fertilizer. Also retains water well so hose watering is reduced also.
yeah unfortunately the budget for a drain right now is nill, but its on the list! its not affecting the garden beds, just the grass in low lying areas so just gonna try and bodge it as best I can till I can afford a better solution.
Maybe use the garden fork to stab lots & lots of holes in the low lying bits to help aerate the soil. Will help a bit but isn’t a permanent solution.
Could think about clay breaker.
had a crack at this. the clay laughed in my face.
Do you want to spread weeds? Because that’s how you spread weeds.
not in a kikuyu lawn. But weeds are the least of my problems, its all about breaking up the clay.
Everything at work is broken. Yay
as in IT wise? then yeah sounds like an early minute to me.
I have not bought or eaten any biscuits or lollies in 4 weeks. I’m starting to get out of the habit.
Well done. I’m proud of you!
Bikkies are a trap. I’m glad you’ve escaped.
Well done!
But I’m gonna break, I’m gonna break my
I’m gonna break my rusty caaaaaaage
and run 🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇
Then what are you going to do? 🍿
Eat your popcorn
😵
I’ll listen to that on the way to work. I always forget that album.
I’ve taken some days off around the long weekend. I’m going to try enjoy the time off and not focus too much on how much I actually get done vs how much I want to
My new weird food rule:
-
fruit flavoured ice cream or sorbet - in a cup
-
chocolate and other creamy sort of non-fruit flavours - a cone
I normally don’t get a cone because I don’t love them, but was given one instead of a cup and just made do. The ice cream was part fruit and part marshmallow or something along those lines, and it definitely belonged in a cone.

Who’s your favourite X-Men character and why is it Storm?
Storm because Halle Berry.
Rogue, because she just wanted to touch people without them dying and the other X-Men treated her like a traitor. Yeah she can bring dead things back to life, but never being able to be physical with your loved ones ever without killing them? Yeah I’d cure that shit too.
This is a well reasoned argument.
I getcha.
The man says Wolverine because he’s got attitude. I still say Brian because hair and all.
The wolverine from the cartoons in the 90’s had the best one liners.
True says he.
Enjoy!
Sending that to the appropriate precipitant. I guarantee he will enjoy.
Deadpool
I like speedsters for super powers so whatever magneto’s kid is called. Marvel’s Flash.
From the films? Wolverine. Love the attitude. Or maybe the Cavillrine, simply cause of the shotgun arm reload for the claws.
The last xmen movie I saw was Logan , which I thought was really good, so I;m going to have to say Wolverine and Xavier.
That movie was incredible. Was not what I was expecting and I’m glad.
Really good actors and story.
Back when I was a kid I always wanted to be Cyclops because I thought he was cool.
Tada!
Brian Mannix because he had the coolest hair.
I also vote for Brian Mannix
Uncanny!
Mostly because they somehow nailed Xavier as being similar to Picard, sometime before Stewart was cast as Xavier.
