Goodnight all β€οΈ

Date went way better than expected. He thought I seemed overstimulated so he took me to a quiet place and we sat and listened to music. I didn't even have to say a word! I want to be at least half the person he is. He's so in tune. I hope I can be to him how he is to me.
Thanks all for the nice comments. I love this place. You all are wonderful people and I love coming on here and getting a glimpse into your lives!! ππ₯°
That sounds great
That's really great to hear. After it seemed like you were really reluctant with the last couple of dates it seems like this guy is really clicking for you
Took the words right out of my mouth :)
you are the sweetest person
I wish you the best π
No you are π₯° thanks Seagoon
so many hugs
"In the end, it was the Sunday afternoons he couldn't cope with, and that terrible listlessness which starts to set in at about 2:55, when you know that you've had all the baths you can usefully have that day, that however hard you stare at any given paragraph in the papers you will never actually read it, or use the revolutionary new pruning technique it describes, and that as you stare at the clock the hands will move relentlessly on to four o'clock, and you will enter the long dark teatime of the soul."
Ah Douglas Adams, how I miss you.
Perfection
fuck I hate icloud, just hate it so much
fucking worse than useless for music

apple will only transfer things bought on apple and on cloud, i do not use cloud and wont ever
I keep getting emails at work about the iCloud storage on my work phone filling up and it's just like, 'um, I never asked you to do that'
good night everyone
sweet dreams π
Girls weekend was a great success!! My voice is hoarse from so much talking along... and 4 hours of singing at Piano Bar last night. The only tears were ones of feeling uplifted and supported (at 3:30am after a lot of alcohol).
Melbcat has been eating a little and peed but still seems a bit flat and sort of groans and sighs as if in discomfort. Getting her seen.
seems recovery is real but slow
so many gentle hugs to you both
The loaf of meat is underway
I think I've started something ...
I bought mince for spag Bol but I have been thinking about meatloaf ever since you suggested it!
I might do that scotch egg meat loaf recipe once the weather gets a little cooler
I also have to practice making pho
Iβm easily influenced by the mere suggestion of baked meat products
Moar meatloaf! There can never be too much meatloaf.
Some cunt must be on a meth bender cos I can hear bass and it hasn't stopped since last night. It isn't even a clean bass, it's reverberating and it sounds shit. My ears have had enough.
The natural enemy of the crack head is sirens.
Just throwing it out there.
I think they're torturing someone in there. Why else would you have the bass so high with the garage door down, playing the same shitty music over and over?
Crack is a hell of a drug lol
But in all seriousness: there's a thing called "meth time" where 3 hours feels like 15 minutes.
And there's that whole thing where crack heads will do stupid repetitive shit because they're stuck in the "crack zone".
This makes a lot of sense.
lol.
Almost the same as the natural deterrent of loitering kids is classical music.
I remember the maccas in camberwell did that and it worked lol.
They did that at North Richmond station at one point but smack heads are too doped out to notice lol
it's very wimdy π
In Ballarat it is very, very still. Which is quite rare here, so I'm enjoying it while it lasts.
I finally got around to hanging a couple of pictures and installing my video doorbell. It's only taken 9 months.
One of the pictures is a print of an Australian landscape painting. It's nice, but doesn't really suit my house decor, so I've hung it in the garage.
Mmmmgas smellll
Sorry we have no clue what this means. Hope you're ok.
sorry π³
No more curried eggs for you!
Greensborough Plaza is a shithole with nothing to draw you there, but there is a banh mi place pretending to be a regular sandwich shop and a Chinese food place pretending to be a regular takeaway. Get that bag if it works
Real slim chance but does anyone have an iPhone 12 or 13 that's sitting on ios version 17.0 they want to sell?
Are you also finding the recent updates giving you a lot of grief?
Mine is like 6 years old but unfortunately I have updated to the crap versions and still use it for everything
Second date today. Kind of shitting myself but whatβs the worst that can happen?
Well, shitting yourself would be up there I reckon. So might as well chill π
You realise maybe you don't have chemistry.
You take the confidence you earned from going through with this, and use it to keep moving forward if you feel ready.
the beach pictures from yesterday πJust the usual, a big jelly fish, shells, a shark egg, an angling float. The cork fishing net float is a rare find, they were used in the 60s , cork lasts very well

Still find it crazy what you're finding at your beach.
I'm starting to wonder if the reason I'm not finding much at my one is because it's right just inside the heads. You do see a whole lot of cool shells at the Lonny lighthouse / rockpools but that's a marine park so big no no I think.
It seems I'm the only one who goes to my beach to beachcomb, others come to walk their dog, take photos of birds, to fish or collect crabs and mussels. It's not a classic sandy beach where people sunbathe or swim, they come to play and do things, and where I walk is far past the popular part and into the wilderness
I have a friend from high school, he has a wife, 3 kids, just bought a nice place to live. I have a shitload of respect for this guy. Probably the person I respect the most.
He was recently promoted and messaged me because he had a bit of a crisis adjusting to the new role.
I sent him a 5ish minute voice message, and spent the evening helping him get a hang of how to manage the new role.
It's an incredible feeling when you can help someone that you really respect, despite your own failings.
