Ugh. So sick of my weeping face.. it's sloooowly getting better but this hot weather is pretty hard. Cursing myself and my nighttime stupidity every day. Everyone starting work early Monday and Tuesday in order to finish early. I can't because school run. So I've got Monday off that I know of because there's no point in them having me go in for a couple of hours. Possibly Tuesday as well. Nice but need the moolah. So between cursing myself and being skint I'm a miserable bitch lol. Going to look at animal pictures 😄

That was a really gloomy swim just now down here. Loved it.

[–] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I really worry about you Bottom 🌊🏊🏼‍♀️😳. I know I'm not the only one in this community who does.

And just like that, the zonk begins.

Edit:

The zonk is contagious

So the praying mantis is still hiding in my studio. I believe it's a male and I don't have the heart to tell it its head could be devoured upon sexy time. If it were smart it should get a little mantis helmet.

It is doing a wonderful job with flies though.

Baaaad weather down the Bellarine - fishul warning Hope our bottom racer is OK plus anyone else down there.

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Shit is really kicking off down there, those rain bands are seemingly materialising out of nowhere! Good timing to have cleaned the gutters. Hope no crazy disasters @Bottom_racer.

Hilarity from the Other Place. No you should not ask your Ex to use a clone a Willy kit! Reminds me of the running bet I had with myself about how many pages into a thesis by a male sculpture student I could get without finding a replica of their cock.

How would you know if it's the artist's own schlong?

Self portraits have a long history in the arts - no modelling fees is the main attraction I suspect.

Spent the day with a close mate. Sat around talking all day in front of the aircon. Was fucking awesome! He's a really good guy, super chill and has a very grounding presence.

I'm going on a blind date with a friend of a friend of his which could be really cool. We have similar interests which is always nice. It'll be an interesting experience regardless of what happens.

Hope everyone is doing OK out there ❤️

After this, I never want to eat jelly, custard or ice cream again.

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I made a bit of headway trying to get a not to work on here. I figured out how to edit read-only files on linux. I just need to get docker to work now and I should be able to post to testing

[–] underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 8 points 5 months ago (13 children)

Stop what you're doing, it's time for an icy pole. And a drink of something non-alcoholic. Even if you just finished an icy pole, have another one please. Or an ice cream.

Keep up that hydration. 💧🍦🧊🧃

Very pleased it's not as hot as it it was meant to me. Thank you weather gods

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Super surprised by the possible thunderstorm forecast this afternoon

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Saw that. I swear their forecasts are becoming less accurate from further out but there's probs data there to prove me wrong.

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 6 points 5 months ago

There is some kind of association with very hot days and sudden/unpredictable mini storms in Melbs if I recall from some post someone did about this a while back on the other site. Inversion layer or something. Same thing that happened on Monday

[–] bacon@aussie.zone 8 points 5 months ago

In my undies, spent a whole afternoon watching Love, Death + Robots while drinking watermelon coconut water. Now door is open and I am enjoying a lime icy pole. This is good.

Shout out to Pilpel for making one of the nicest taramasalata dips I've ever had I think. I will even forgive them for putting 'DAIRY FREE' and 'GLUTEN FREE' on the label. Had some on buttered bread and more on some lettuce leaves. Mega delicious - they've got the balance of fish roe and lemon juice just right. Seriously moreish.

I'm starting to get cranky now.

After spending big money on the recent bike service they still didn't fix the puncture I brought it in for. If I need to replace the tyres I'm going to get the very sensible Schwalbe Marathons instead of these temperamental and expensive racing tyres

After spending big money on the recent bike service

It's a ripoff. I was shocked with my last one years ago (was $400 and I'm not even sure what they did). I just do it myself these days w/ the help of YT. Not for everyone but once you do it once it's easy.

Ahahaaa i was thinking about a midnight walk.

Fuck nyooooooo

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Stuffed myself full of food and some wine for my dad’s bday.

On the verge of a food coma which isn’t good as I need to drive home soon.

Not a bad way to spend the weekend.

My lemon lime bitters cost more than a beer.

But what is sweet is the breeze in the trees up in Marysville.

Anyone down round Geelong? Radar looks WILD down there

Edit: oh I see chat of this further down. Should have scrolled

I’m out watering the garden at the moment.

Well, I am relocating and timing the sprinklers as necessary, patting the dog, listening to birdsong and drinking my morning coffee.

Ooh, I have to remember to soak the hydrangeas. Thanks!

Bacchus Marsh is getting hit hard. Would not be surprised to hear of flooding there by morning.

This is the perfect evening for a big sleep.

Goodnight everyone ❤️
