Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
the young Seagoons have moved into their new home
we all hugged and were a little teary when they said goodbye
I'm so lucky to have had them here, they really are a joy. π₯°π₯Ή
they now live 10 mins by car, 20 by bus and we will see them often π₯°
What is the evolutionary advantage of my butthole being able to taste spicy....?
You could probably light a smoke like a car cigarette lighter.
Wait. Taste?
Any sensitive skin will taste the spicy. The spices even speed up your digestion because you're intestines taste them. It's not that curries make people shit themselves, it's that people aren't used to the spice and fiber (lentils) to their body works to get it out faster.
A spicier version of lick, sip, suck.
My friend hiked Mt Kosciuszko yesterday! I am so proud of her!
Definitely something I want to do as well one day.
awesome π
I hope you're having a good birthday weekend Spins, lovely weather for it.
Hell yeah :)
Today's adventures in perimenopause/life in 2026....I could not remember my own phone number. Got there in the end at least but seriously....
Solidarity Sista. Yesterday I hot flushed in aldi so I stuck my head in the freezer.
I love when drivers go through red lights at pedestrian crossings and almost hit me.
The next cunt that does it is getting dragged out of his fucking car.
I've been near smashed by so many cunts not stopping for trams in the past few weeks. Yesterday the driver got off and started yelling at people, it was majestic!
Morning guys. Moderately well rested, and contemplating making pancakes
Does anyone know De La Soul here....? Perfect for my mood and jobs today.
Sure. Not a fav, but exists in memory
I do, been a while.
Oh dear, startled a homeless man in my elevator on the way out for groceries. I think this happened earlier in the week too, I passed two police officers in my buildings lobby at around 715am earlier this week. Plus a month or two ago I came across a clearly drug affected man lying in the elevator in the morning... Our building needs a swipe card to get into after hours so idk how it's happening. We're not in a dodgy location either.
This morning the man said "sorry, I do apologise", and scuttled out of the elevator with a plastic bag with items in it, but that was on my 10th floor... I waited at the tram stop for my tram in view of the building for the next 5 mins and didn't see him exit. I wonder if he'll be there when I get back.
Edit: I'm back and didn't see him
Ah, youβre having my usual experience
PSA for anyone doing meal planning today: Pancake Tuesday is this week, giving you the opportunity to indulge in as many pancakes as you like without anyone questioning your meal choices.
For anyone wanting the ultimate pancake challenge I have managed pancakes for all three meals one year. Sweet pancakes for breakfast, Japanese vegetable pancakes (okinomiaki) for lunch and filled savoury crepes for dinner.
I've just finished making a batch of cheese, bacon, and spring onion pikelets that ended up about three times thicker than regular pancakes, and they've already started to disappear ...
That sounds like an interesting variation. Sort of a savoury muffin pikelet?
Who the fuck am I? What am I doing? What's going on?
Casually slips into Babylon 5
Who are you?
What do you want?
Why are you here?
Where are you going?
Do you have anything worth living for?
omg, I remember it
and I remember everyone loving our new coins because they had beautiful native animal designs
Huh, youβre a little older than I thought.
My Dad was in his teens, and weβve had a chat about what he remembers - heβs the one that taught me the little jingle, and taught me to do old-money sums using the bag of old coins his Mum still kept to use in the Christmas pudding! - but I didnβt realise you were near that vintage too.
It was a lizard on the 2c and some sort of little possum on the 1c, if I recall
Tonight we see Baldrick, what will he dig up this time?
Groceries, gym, clean house, feed various cats, dinner, night out!
Edit:
I slept in this morning and the strays were waiting for their dry food. I think they looked annoyed lol
Found Gibson's baby photo
Um Gibs, that isn't a nap tray
She's always been a little goblin lol
