Bummer
The drunk aggressive homeless man is back, was drinking and swearing explosively on the bench outside. I tried to close the door quietly but the fucking thing squeaked and he was looking at my place.
He’s walked away past my place still glancing at the door. For a second I thought he was going to come knocking and was debating whether to tell him to leave or just call the cops. Thankfully he didn’t. But this is just rubbing in all the trauma from all the other derros before him, and is part of the reason I don’t like to go out. This one has also had a go at me before.
I’m trying to be grateful for the things I have and focus on what I can control, but this spot has always been rough and the pandemic made it so much worse.
Was gonna go to CERES community garden today, but the weather is dodgy so no guarantee the market will be on.
My oodie has been donned, and escape room game has been loaded 😙👌
Ooh what game?
The House of Da Vinci on the play store. It’s an interactive puzzle, really pretty! And puzzling! I have discovered I may think too laterally, or not laterally enough 😂
Family movie night. Adventures of Tintin. The quality of the animation is nuts…
agree, awesome movie
Elder Minipeeler decided to spontaneously clean his room today, mainly and noticeably focusing on purging old school stuff. Did a thorough job and I’m very proud of him.
In the meantime Miniest made a carrot cake, with very little intervention from me (gotta make sure the batter actually ends up in the cake tin and less in the mouth lol)
Yummy. Cream cheese icing or lemon?
Cream cheese with a little lemon in it 😋
Delicious
Tell miniest that looks like an excellent cake :)
That is a most excellent cake. When is afternoon tea?
Gorgeous! Ask Miniest to send me some (if there’s any left).
You have an excellent set of Minipeelers there :)
Considering he’s so small, Chook is an absolute pig. The MESS, my god
They flick the husks out of their cage!
i think i need to get these https://dangerfield.com.au/products/old-world-embroidered-pant?variant=45128234303706
They look lovely! I got some with butterflies embroided from Princess Highway last year, probably my favourite purchase. Those are next.
Drinks with a friend, very lovely to see 💜 consumed some Guzman y Gomez and got a noice whiskey
What whiskey?
I shall judge the niceness.
Hobart Whiskey: Tasmanian Whiskey Liqueur, and Tawny Cask Finish. Also have some of their signature but haven’t cracked that yet
Edit: the signature is “American oak, ex-bourbon matured”
As a whiskey wanker, I approve.
So many weeds… and what’s with winter round #2 ?
So many weeds
Yup. Currently tackling:
On the 7th green bin over 7 weeks with that bed. It’s just gone off this year.
omg
It’s getting there (I think). It’s an uphill battle this year :(
I have decaf coffee now.
Let’s see if this thing keeps me awake at night tonight.
good idea , I might have one too, a really hot one with caramel
I exclusively drink decafe and it’s actually not bad. Just depends on what format you’re consuming.
It’s just instant variety.
Pretty basic flavour but not too bad. I don’t think it kept me up last night so that’s a plus.
You know you’re getting on when you plan to jump in the garden to weed for the 3rd day in a row and before you start first thing you think of is where’s the ibuprofen.
There’s stuff I want to do but I’m aware I might do my back
Son has recovered from COVID, only for the wife to be struck down.
No idea how I’m still avoiding it. Superior genes perhaps?
Or more likely my flu+covid shot I got earlier this year.
Some people apparently are just resistant to it. I still haven’t had it, and haven’t had a covid vax for a couple of years now. It’s been floating around at work on a semi-regular basis so I’m pretty sure I would have been exposed quite a few times.
We are strong. Everyone else, very weak.
We shall rule this realm and dance on a mountain of bones!!!
Dancing on a mountain of bones sounds like a bit of a risky manoeuvre. We survive Covid and die after tripping over a badly placed femur, rolling down the side of the mountain and being crushed under an avalanche of skulls.
Perhaps we can crush the bones and use them to create a nice, flat, hard-packed dancefloor instead?
Not a bad idea. Boil down the bones for adhesive to mix with the crushed up bones.
Either way, we’re fuckin dancing
Big News. An arrest has been made over the Easey St murders.
What a grub. I was aware of the murders but the details got worse as I read on.
I hope he either gets extradited or some more decent men than him have some strong opinions on what he did…
Fantastic news! So long and they finally caught that fuckup of a man
I first saw it on r/melbourne and now I think it’s been taken down. The mods are fuckwits over there.
Its on the abc justin website.
I’m wondering how to protect the eventual seedlings from slugs and snails. I’m thinking of keeping them inside in paper cups until they’re so big they have to be planted out. I am not dragging large pots inside every night.
The other thought was cut off plastic bottles as ‘hats’ but if I plant in every pot I would need 12… and that’s if I plant 3 in each and thin. I don’t have to plant them all but there are 25 seeds in the packet and due to space I never use them all.
I could donate the extra to a seed library but when would I have the chance.
Moobeans is sleeping beside me. So beautiful.
Gah. Lost the prelims :(
Going to bury my sorrow in something now.
It was a valiant effort at least. Great game
Commiserations 🍷
There’s only 3 things in this world I don’t eat. Cantaloupe, rice pudding and porridge. Now I can add papaya to that list. Ick.
Crunchy peanut butter. Tripe. Oysters. Not too keen on mussels anymore either. Sushi is fine but I don’t really like the soft squish
Edit: Durian. (Haven’t had the fruit but have had durian flavoured crackers.) Also I don’t like cantaloupe
I loooovvvve oysters. Straight up. Down the hatch. No lemon. No pepper and salt.
Balsamic vinegar, pickled herring and giardiniera
Papaya is great, but can be off putting.
Mussels in vinegar are weird. I’ll still eat them but they are chewy little fuckers.
Sardines, anchovies and sardines.
same
Same but add tuna.
Bullshit. Everybody loves sardines.
Fuck someone downed thumbed you too heh.
It’s a tough crowd in here
😂
I think we can narrow this down.
endive, ersatz chocolate, tripe
I’ve never had tripe because my mother refused to cook it after growing up with it.
I’ve never knowingly had it either. Who knows what’s in a lot of foods? 😬
👀
sausages aka mystery bags
I’ll take your hand and join you…
None of them register in my brain as food.
Fair. Cucumber, olives, and coffee for me. Not that coffee’s a food, but people sneak it in.
I eat/drink these things everyday. Thanks for your courage though.
Eggplants are my worst enemy. Makes me throw up.
Olives are next and then hmm anchovies?
You can definitely get bad eggplants.
Doubt it’s a coincidence it happened on 3 seperate occasions even when I didn’t know they were eggplants.
Cantaloupe, rice pudding and bread n butter custard 🙅🏼♀️⛔
Bread n butter pudding is alright. Just make that shit fancy.
good bread, good butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, sultanas soaked in brandy. ( How does that sound? )
Throw some berries in there and make the proper custard and you’ve got yourself a deal.
