Yesterday on the way home I saw the fire brigade breaking out somebody stuck in one of the old cast iron toilets. Hope you all have a better day than that unfortunate person ๐ธ

When I was little I got my hand stuck in a trolley. All I heard was a staff member say "I'll get the butcher". My dad was a butcher. I knew what they did. I cried. The butcher brought out a tub of fat.
tub of fat
to feed you and fatten you up?
I did wonder what they were gonna do with it.
I need that fucking cable I've been saving for probably 8 years and never used and I can't find it anywhere.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Edit: I'm going to go buy one and I know I will remember where it is when I get home.
It's a 3.5mm extension cable. To go from the drum kit to the audio interface.
You rationalised it in the last house move
I just dropped all of mine off for recycling, so I can't help, sorry.
Already so cold, itโs going to be a cold night.
Going to need my hot wattle bot again.
Nooooo, fav banh mi place nearby has had a ~glow up and is now offering heaps more fancy things, looks like it's changed ownership. Unfortunately means it's no longer reasonable to nip there on a lunch break, boo.
... though I do need to try the Salted Vietnamese Coffee...!
Is there still boxes of tissues on the tables?
I think Iโm going to bail on that 1st birthday this weekend. The only people I know at this birthday are the parents and theyโre going to be busy socialising with everyone, and Iโll probably feel awkward in this setting being childless. Iโll just message the day before that Iโm sick and donโt want to spread germs. Does this make me a bad friend? Iโll plan a catch up with this friend in a few weeks and still give a present then.
Not a bad person. Iโve skipped plenty of kids parties for similar reasons. Was fine.
It's ok. ๐
Hooray made it down to the beach.
Not so hooray fucking weeds.
Is good to be down here though.
Resident magpie remembers me so appeased it w/ cheee. Really makes you wonder just how much memory they have. Haven't been here for months and the thing was right at my feet without a second thought.
Glad you made it down there today!! Love that you got a birb greeting. Clever little tackers!
Took the Minipeelers to Highpoint today and had a fun time topping up our supply of trackpants, T-shirts and other things that were not so practical lol. Some Lush products were purchased and bathing indulged in once we got home. The house smells a treat!
This be me tomorrow night
Iโm with you. Big 16th is tomorrow night and I might disappear into the hedgerow with a beverage haha.
Don't let your parents catch you sneaking a drink.
Nah just joking. Happy Birthday Miss God. ๐
Thanks. It could get hectic.
I've been so successful in weatherstripping around the sliding door the dog door panel is inserted into that now the air pressure is blowing the dog flap open and letting in even more cold air than was coming through the gaps.
Good morning. ๐
Today we are going to the local community museum, pictures will follow.
I decided to check the status of my tax return and my voluntary super contribution has been reset to $0?!!?! Wtf! However, it's still being processed ("Balancing accounts") and I don't want to slow anything down so I think I'll just wait until it's been finalised and maybe it'll be added back in by then. I'll be a very unhappy camper if I have to amend the lodgement and delay getting my money back...
I'm paying the ato this year :(
I was going to be in that position due to an improperly taxed second job and a taxable cash scholarship, but dumped a load into super to get around it. I really need that tax return and not a tax bill, so it'd be nice to get that processed properly...
I am so sick of being interrupted when Iโm talking. However, Iโve finally started to grow a backbone and call people on when they do it.
First sing and play since I dropped suboxone. Felt like my head was going to explode from endorphins.
Baby steps.
Rain, so much rain here over next 36 hours.
I may have gone a touch overboard when ordering embroidry kits from Temu. I think I now have a lifetime supply, plus a bit extra.
The kits are mostly pretty good quality (except for one dodgy one I asked for a refund on) but a few of them will be a bit challenging as they are quite complicated. I'm chalking them up as a work expense as they are to help keep me awake on quiet night shifts. Unfortunately the ATO is unlikely to agree with that assessment, so I can't claim a refund on them.
I also bought a few more decals, hopefully Miss Meow will like her litter trays being in a small jungle. In any case having a plastic coating on the wall should help protect it from her over-enthusiastic litter digging practices.
Bumble for Friends is starting to feel like a dating app! People match and never reply, or they tell you to message on Instagram, which I don't have. The latest is some dude trying to flirt with me. Umm wrong app buddy. You're meant to be on the other one...
Someone asked me how my day is going. That's nice but what about finding common interests? I don't want to tell you that I've played games with my cousins or worked a boring shift, what are you going to do with that info?!
So I'm just going to go to more in-person things. Fuck meeting people through this app. I always thought I'd meet a partner through a dating app, but I guess I'd rather be single for the rest of my life than have to go on one of those again.
Yeah. Can't say I'm surprised.
I did meet mine on OKC, but that was before it joined the Swipe club, and shock horror, had questionnaires and profiles
Going to see if I can finish I watching The last of us Season 1 tonight.
Then Iโll start making my way through Andor.
Ok, I despise Amazon, but sometimes you can't find something anywhere else. I now accidentally have 30 days of their TV thing. What should I check out?
I think the expanse might be there if you like space shows
I had a spot of cleaning mojo and vacuumed and mopped the floors. I now have nice clean floors but the kitchen's too wet to go in and make a cuppa. Boo.
One more day to go.

Another day, another subreddit banned me.
I was reasonable, used facts and spoke the truth. ๐ My bad.
You havenโt lived until youโve been perma-banned from r/recipes ๐
Some of the groups do go a bit overboard with banning people, and some seem to have quite biased moderators. I can understand some of the removal of posts and comments being a bit heavy handed at time, just because of the difficulty of moderating a large group and the impossibility of stepping on some toes, but going to banning people as a first step is not a good option. Especially if it is people that have contributed to the group in the past, not just a random coming in looking to cause trouble.
I guess it's the double edges sword of social media though, allowing everyone to contribute tends to lead to trolls and bad actors flooding the group and turning it into shit, but it's also very easy to destroy a group with excessive moderation destroying the ability to have a free discussion.
I got a temp ban from a Pokรฉmon one for calling Ed Sheeran a nasal whiner
I just listened to a very interesting YT on the mushroom case, this was all new to me
and it changed my mind completely
Lost the laundry gamble
