He owns ferrets, and I’m assuming he has also realised it’s better for the brain to pat them instead of engaging with me ☺️☺️
Really? I was just being random. Sorry if that landed wrong!
Goodnight all
Sleep well, Gib and Gibson 💜
Went shopping for a birthday gift for 10yo, who apparently is into Rainbow Friends. Ugh, I hate buying Roblox game merch, like they need my money. Minipeelers started to get shitty at each other, so I bought them each a $5 pool noodle and had them fight it out in the park next to the train station. They had fun with it, and it made a few people smile as they went past.
That’s brilliant!!!
@CEOofmyhouse56 @PeelerSheila Reminds me of a few years ago, when I had to go along to a friend’s kids’ birthday party.
I really didn’t know what to get as a prezzie. I ended up picking a stuffed pink unicorn toy that cost maybe $10.
Fast forward to the party.
The kids parents and grandparents absolutely spoiled this kid.
I’m talking hundreds of dollars worth of toys. It was just obscene!
The living room of their house ended up filled with them. A Barbie doll house that was taller than this kid. A ride-on toy car. Half a dozen battery-powered things that made annoying noises.
Anyway. Eventually the kid opened my present.
Hrr eyes lit up. She grabbed it, cuddled that unicorn, and left all the other toys on the ground.
Her grandma and grandpa were visibly miffed.
So yeah. Sometimes a cheap, fun toy trumps hundreds of dollars of overpriced plastic crap. 🧸🦄🎁
Well done! Lol, I bet half that stuff broke within a couple of months. So much waste.
We’re running a roaring trade off in gift bags with a roblox gift card and giant bags of mixed Lollies in my 10yo’s friend group.
I’m gonna keep that in mind for next time, that’s a good one.
Just slept 13 hours. Hopefully I have paid off some of my sleep debt.
😹 I sorted my dvds and put out a dozen for people to take for free. A neighbour beat me to it and had a pile out there already. I brought two in but I’ve still got ten less than I had. 😹😹
The last of the shitty brickwork is outta the grouuuund!!!
Since i need to put in drainage anyway, thinking of maybe dropping french drain lines along the original dividers. Hubby quite liked them, but they were shot to shit and in the way of my planned wicking beds.
Yay 🎉
WE WON?
Shit
Yup! Thought you would have been watching it!
No. I’ve had it on the Olympics
everything I put out for people to take for free has gone, all the dvds, the knickknacks and the jigsaw puzzles
I also took two big bags of miss seagoon’s clothes and some blankets to the opshop
tomorrow I put more stuff out
I came home with some LPs and a small 1960s maple glass cabinet to put my shell collection in. I’m trying to get things kind of tidy.
You didn’t happen to put out a wall clock and some kitchen stuff and over the door storage hangers? Because Mr P has come home with a car load of stuff from someone’s nature strip!
No. 😹
But I do love the community recycling here. It’s neighbourly.
I have a garden table I’m putting out next week and more books.
Oh. Was gonna say thanks for the many and various cake tins, they’re in better nick than mine!

I have grown citrus trees and read books. 👍
Thank you 🙏
Orange trees are beautiful to grow, they have a lovely shape, the leaves are dark and glossy, the flowers are pretty and perfume the whole back yard, the oranges look great on the tree and are delicious to eat. Can recommend. 👍
I didn’t ask for a soliloquy
You’re welcome. 🌞
Oranges go bananas down here. We have so many on our dwarf plant it’s ridiculous
Seven and oranges.
Symbolic and tasty if sweet.
Tarantula.
I like spiders and think they’re neat!
Thank you 🙏 follow up question: how many tarantulas would you own if you could
I would own just one. I think I would like to spend all my attention on just a single one. Maybe a cool rose one
Correct answer was seven
None of the above. Because.
Go one at random then, c’mon
How dare you question me! As I am a merciful witch, I will not strike you down with boils upon your hinder parts, but will instead inflict the horrors of choice upon you and you alone. And the subsequent consequences … all choices come with consequences. Or you could just count them out - yan, tan, tethera, pethera, pimp, sethera, lethera, hovera, covera, dik, yan-a-dik, tan-a dik, tethera-dik, pethera-dik, bumfit, yan-a-bumfit, tan-a-bumfit, tethera-bumfit, pethera-bumfit, jiggit. Depending of course on how many sheep you have.
Bumfit-dik?
I didn’t make that up. And some of the regional variations are far worse to modern ears. It’s the old celtic numerals - after a millennium or so of speaking english instead, and a traditional counting out “rhyme”. If you are counting real live sheep, you count each one and at the end of the series tie a knot in a piece of string. The number of knots at the end give you the number of sheep in multiples of 20. This is how you count sheep to fall asleep - recite the list in your head. Over and over.
Aquarius
I once owned fish
Thank you 🙏
Seven
My friend told me yesterday that seven is the best number, and I should hold that as a fact, not opinion.
I like your style. Thank you 🙏
Aquarius.
*Have listened to the Hair soundtrack, which taught me that when the moon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planets, and love will steer the stars. Which sounds sorta nice.
Seven
I have at least that many toes
Thank you 🙏
Oranges. Degree in horticulture.
(Did you mean horologist or are you seeking plant advice?)
I am seeking advice from a horticulturist, though it does not concern plants
Tarantula
There are several plants in my garden that I have managed not to kill (and many spiders)
Thank you 🙏
The dog and I had a synchronised snooze on the couch. The kid walked past and took a photo because we looked “cute” and also to deposit a dropped chicken nugget into his bowl. He did not wake up. I have broken a Jack Russell.
Doggo rigidly respecting the 5 second rule.
He must of been in a deep sleep because he can hear a dropped nugget from three rooms away.
Now I want chicken nuggets
Related: has anyone tried snchitz’s nuggets (which they lovingly entitled “Schnuggets”)? I haven’t because they seem ridiculously expensive, but then again, they all at the moment
No I haven’t tried them
Buy some spicy chicken tenders from the freezer at Aldi. They are very good.
Did he get his nuggs in the end? My heart is breaking thinking that the poor critter is starving.
Yeah he got his nugget and of course he wanted more.
Oh, that’s a relief! Mine is a weird and doesn’t like nuggs unless you throw them and she catches them mid air.
Hahaha.
Bookends.
Guardian lions. I love the colour of your couch, too
Hahaha. Gargoyles.
I don’t know what to do with my life. The only thing that remotely appeals to me is secondary teaching. I gain satisfaction from seeing lightbulb moments after teaching someone how to do something, I think of myself as a relatively patient person, I care about student welfare and am passionate about the subject areas I want to teach.
I’ve always struggled with school (partly due to undiagnosed ADHD that I’m still not medicated for) and also I know I’d be perceived as a pushover and not know what to do when a kid is behaving poorly. I was perceived that way when tutoring.
My parents say they don’t see me in the classroom. They say to do something in the medical field that’s not medicine or nursing.
I’m in my last semester of my degree majoring in psychology. I’ve been merit listed for HR jobs which probably means I won’t get something. I will probably end up going into further study, but even teaching is starting to not appeal to me anymore. I don’t know what to do and the pressure is mounting to decide.
Part of me just wants to run away to the other side of the world and work as a bartender, because it would work with my sleep schedule and making drinks seems fun.
I mean, no one has it figured out. We think we do, but we don’t know what the future will bring.
Those teaching course should help with teaching you how to handle certain kids, so I wouldnt stress about that. No matter what you do, you won’t be stuck. It’s okay to decide later that something isn’t right and to make changes. If you want to go across the world, or take a break and be bartender here or there, then you should. It may help with you deciding what you want to do. You’ll meet new people and gain different experiences, and all that will contribute to who you are and will be, and help you decide what you want to pursue. But ultimately, you will always have a choice. You can do study later on, change jobs and careers, etc.
I’m sorry you feel under pressure though, it sucks feeling like a deadline is looming :(
Thank you <3

You can get this from helping people in psych therapy/counselling
I feel you.
I’m (going to when they fucking reply to my fricking damn fricking emails and enrol me) studying community services, and know that I want to do something vaguely in community services, but I don’t know what exactly appeals. I’m sort of hoping that after I complete the cert III and decide on a cert IV, I’ll be placed somewhere and discover my passion.
For me though, I do have ideas of where I want to be in the future, which will probably act as a guiding light. I’m certain I’d like to emigrate to somewhere in the EU, and I’m currently thinking Sweden. The easiest way to do that is most likely to go down the work visa route. Sweden doesn’t seem to split their workers into skilled and unskilled, but there is a requirement that you can only apply if the role has been advertised within Sweden, Switzerland, and the rest of the EEA/EU first. Meaning I’d probably only find a job with an employer willing to sponsor a work visa if I am uniquely skilled. That only really leaves me with a few options, so that’s what the goal is. I’d rather suck it up and work in a job I don’t like to move to the EU than for money anyways

Fucking FELT
I have been Deadpooled
Was it good?
It’s fun, loud, messy, and silly. Not High Art.
And anyone who believes Hugh did that without pills I can offer a great deal on the Opera House.
Restaurant reservation made for next Sunday, flowers sorted.
I mentioned to wifey not to make plans for next Sunday.
“What’s happening next Sunday?” she asked, then looked it up.
I think she’d forgotten, and took it as a less at hand subtle hint 😂
Went to watch Deadpool & wolverine with the fam tonight.
What a culmination of the last 30 years of Super hero movies.
Hit the right feels, whilst being stupidly violent and funny as shit.
