RIP Jane Goodall πŸ’πŸ¦πŸ¦§

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Will be much missed. One of the world's greatest people imo.

I received a Jane Goodall diorama as a Lego Gift-With-Purchase.

I recently donated it (including the Jane Goodall minifig) to a Primary School Science teacher for her classroom.

I hope none of the little perishers steal the minifig!

If you (or anyone else) haven’t read it, In the Shadow of Man is a fantastic book

spag bog is nearly ready , 🀀

[–] Orange1@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm glad it's not just my family. Whenever I said to friends spag bog, they would be like do you mean spag bol?

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 10 months ago

LOL, what is the point of slang if it isn't rude

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Or white pants or anything clean.

Okkk scored a "wellbeing day" tomorrow (not sick or annual, six per year), so long weekend starts now. Extra bonus it's on my late shift week! Back to normal next week after a good rest. Now beer! 🍻🍻🍻

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago

cool 🍻🍻🍻

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago

Excellent! Make sure you start off the cheers thread tomorrow. 🍻

Alrighty. 9am interview with a lady in the US then a 2nd one later in the afternoon.

Wrote my first new song tonight in about 6 months and practiced my new open mic songs as well.

Goodnight all ❀️

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago

that's awesome 😸

goodnight

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 8 points 10 months ago

Ah back at FILs for the next couple of days, and then back to Melbourne Sunday night.

Niece was very unhappy we were leaving her place, but we'll see them again before we go home.

Looking forward to picking Mickey up on Monday morning. Then I have an interview at 10-10:30am, and then my job provider appointment at 11:30am. I'm going to be wrecked, but happy πŸ’œ

Called in sick. Eating peanut butter toast in bed before having a hot shower and rolling my back out with the foam roller

Be honest, how many of your dinner foods are just an excuse for melted cheese?

[–] TheWitchofThornbury2@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I have to be honest here. None. Not really. I'd rather have cheese in it's unmelted state. And I go through phases where I can't stand any cheese, and other times I can't get enough of it. Phases can last from a few days to a few months. Currently going through an anti-cheese phase. This will change, I just don't know when. And then I'll consume cheese in any form that presents itself. But I prefer non-melted.

Tonight's meal calls for a generous helping of melted cheese, sometimes I construct what I eat around it including cheese.

Anyone got advice for dealing with oxalis at the base of young lily pily hedge? People have suggested using a paint brush with poison to just contact the oxalis and other plants should be fine?

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 points 10 months ago

You have come to the right place.

There is an expert here.

[–] Eagle@aussie.zone 6 points 10 months ago

Bottom be summoned.

I’m going to venture in search of lunch. A little air, before I return to snuggling the wheatbag

Yarrabyte has abandoned us again. Thankyou to those that have been getting the thread started.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 10 months ago

PSA. Aldi's Buffalo bites (found in the freezer next to the nuggets) are very tasty. Pair them with a G&T and you now have a gourmet meal. Get on it. 5/5 yum yums.

The Kids' sickness has finally gotten to me. It wasn't fun having it finally hit at 4am but I've called in sick and i think I'll talk to a doctor to get tomorrow off too

Google advanced life photography and read the reviews.

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Photographer said to our child "Didn't your mum wash your face this morning?" Child responded with "My mum is dead"

Fark that turned dark.. jeezus

[–] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I didn’t see that one. Poor kid.

And that’s why you Google places before you interview.

[–] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago

Good night, trying to get into early nights

sweet dreams 😘😘😘

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 10 months ago

Doing housework today. Turning the place from a seedy nightclub into a respectable home before the fuzz gets here. Google Home may have allegedly overhead some unsavoury content.

Commbank down while trying to pay for groceries. Yay.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago

local hammerbarn had those interlocking decking tiles for $10 a four pack. So I bought all 26.

[–] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago (5 children)

I’m extremely sore today and I don’t know why. I can barely move.

Might call in sick

My local banh mi place has Viet donuts and I've been buying them recently with my usual roll purchase to enjoy with an afternoon cuppa. Why is deep fried dough so tasty?
