I need to buy some shoes and vote. Righto
In what order though? That’s very important.
I voted, posted the ballot and bought shoes in more or less a straight line
Not bad. Nice and efficient!
Goodnight everyone. From the home of the unfinished cat tree ❤️
Dude, ikea fail?! Such disapoint.
I’m so ashamed :(
Lol do you want me to come over and help you this week? I’m great at building IKEA stuff! Half my furniture is IKEA lol
Haha I was going to offer as well though I’m on the opposite side of town.
We’ll go together haha
Can you distract Gibson while I desperately try to finish it?
Can diddly do!
Going out for fancy breakfast this morning to a cafe near a post office. Nice food and the boys can post our council votes for us.
If I ran a cafe near a mailbox I’d do a post about it to remind people to send off their votes and come enjoy a coffee while you’re at
If I could vote I’d definitely get in on this
DEMOCRACY COFFEE
If I ran said cafe I’d have an October long special of some overpriced cafe version of a sausage sandwich for that election day feel
Would you do different versions for each of the major parties or something like that?
So nice to have Fisk back on as a cozy Sunday night treat. Just lighthearted and relatable and low key. The North Melbourne trams are like their own character. Also: I have been guilty of steaming milk so loudly it sounds like a pig being slaughtered 🙋♀️
Looking forward to Aaron Chen’s character’s grandma next week.
Speaking of other cozy shows I binge-watched Ludwig over the past two nights; nice little romp as well. Recommended if you like David Mitchell.
Shrinking S2 is on too and I’m looking forward to that on Wed/Thu now that Slow Horses s4 is over.
I really need to watch Fisk.
I Love Kitty Flanagan.
💛 Fisk. We just watched a heap of season 2 episodes to get the OH up-to-date for S3
🐇🐕
Argh. Woken up late and have to make the transition back to early wake up tomorrow.
Save me!
Would you like to employ our services
Tell me about these “services”.
It involves at least one (1) lawnmower and one (1) illegally employed screaming child
I’ll have one order of that for 6am tomorrow.
Your request has been received and is being processed.
Would you like to know more!?
Yes!
No
Attempt 2 at cat tower to commence shortly.
So the 2nd amp I grabbed to make a stereo guitar setup was a huge win!
Sounds so damn cool with an amp on each side.
Will photograph cat tower later. Pray for me.
I’ve dedicated this thread to your cat tower.
I’ll make you guys proud lol
I’ve got a few pretty politically conservative types in my extended family. Mostly we’ve always been able to have decent conversations but more and more it seems like the information they quote is so different from the information I see about the world I don’t even know where to start. No …I don’t think Trump helped the American economy last time but I don’t even want to start to explain why I think that. And no we are not being held back by Greenies … I just can’t even find common ground.
Imagine if the general public knew you could microwave potato… It would be so destructive to the status quo. Restaurants everywhere would be forced to close, who knows what other repercussions would be
For the few pubs that might still be open, counter meals would be sad. Parma
chipsand saladBut why would you want to? Pan fried is so much better
Restaurant lobby groups asking to tax microwaves and give them the money
That would make sense tbh
The way things are going they’d probably put them in Al foil.
Ladies and gentlemen, enbies, kitties and potats…I am going to clean up from dinner and go to bed. I don’t even care how early it is. I am stuffed. Night all
Ninigh. You gotta do what you need to to recharge. That’s often more important than the "should"s we tell ourselves to do.
I’m gonna watch Fisk at 8pm and then call it a night too and do most of the cleaning tomorrow.
Does anyone here own a weighted blanket?
Was thinking of one with the idea that it might help me sleep at night.
used to have one but it felt too heavy, ended up with melatonin
Oh ok.
I do like the additional weight. More worried that it might get too warm or something.
You can buy weighted ones that are designed for hot weather, they woven out of massive threads with large holes for air flow.
Edit: but I think there are some now that are cooling too, if you search for ‘Australia hot weather weighted blanket’
Link this?
Yeah like that!!
That sounds like what I have.
It’s woven like thick rope in a cross code pattern and there’s large holes with the way it’s woven as well.
I do. It has worked at times, but not always.
I am a heavy layers/blanket peep. I tend to find I sleep better with a bit of weight.
I think I prefer the weighted blanket if I’m not feeling great, or maybe for a nap. Even after owning it for a few years, I’m still trying to figure out how it works best for me.
Oh ok. I feel like I kick the light ones off too easily sometimes.
If I was going to get one it was going to be one of those Kmart ones.
I don’t have one but I do layer blankets with a doona for the same effect. It’s hot though, so I do want a weighted one as well. I think it will help you if you like the feeling of heavy doonas
I’ll give that a shot. Got this bottom knitted cotton blanket which is surprisingly heavy.
I’ll chuck that on top tonight and see how it goes.
My winter doona is very nice on really cold nights but too warm to use in spring and summer mostly.
No, but I have a cat that likes to lie on top of me in bed. Does not help me sleep. Especially when purring loudly into my ear.
I can see the upsides but I think having a cat tends to put your body into an immobile state.
Miss Meow is remarkably good at balancing while I roll over.
she is singing you a lullaby
Does anyone here own a weighted blanket
yeah but instead we call it existential dread. Still weighs heavily but it’s free.
I might give the dread a pass.
Does seem to come with a few negatives I’d love to avoid.
My only regular shift that they cancelled would’ve ended at 10. It’s 11 and I just woke up. So nice to not be waking up at 6 on a Sunday.

DT DJ, please to turn the music up
Had some stuff done a few months ago on the roof. Turns out the dudes just cut the downpipe and used a brick to keep it in place without reconnecting it. I only worked that out the other day after that rain.
Was wondering why the rose next to it was having a great time:
Should be an easy fix (was just gonna use PVC glue and that PVC rubber tape stuff) but jeez a bit of a poor effort. Getting people in for such small jobs (or getting them back to fix their fuck ups) is hard today.
Stunning rose, but caused by the bane of all our existences: the slacklustre tradie.
Don’t even need to glue, could just cuff it
okay I’m looking into this thank you :)
omg thank you that’d work.
