I went to Footscray yesterday for a little shopping

I saw a woman sleeping rough on a bench, wearing the same oodie I have now, the cute panda one

it's warm, it's comfortable, practical

hers was already getting grubby, I suppose I would get grubby too if I slept on benches

and cute, she chose it because it's cute. She could be us, we could be her. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I can't help everyone, I try to help one person a week .

Found my 4L sistema food storage tub so doing the next chilli ferment in that today. Hopefully the ones down the beach haven't sploded.

By the end of all this I'm guessing (hoping) I'll have a fair bit to give away if all goes well which is nice.

Sphinx pose.

Iโ€™m puttering along okay today

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 points 5 days ago (3 children)

yay, I am wearing some old jeans that used to be too tight. I even have to wear a belt. It's nice to wear clothes that are not hanging off me. I must have lost 10 kgs this year . Another 10-15 to go. โ˜บ๏ธ

Well done. Its no mean feat to change habits even if forced to by health needs.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

dairy has literally become poison โ˜น๏ธ

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 4 days ago

the positive is I am not losing from illness, as you say it's forced change of habit

[โ€“] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 points 5 days ago

impressive!

thank you โ˜บ๏ธ

it's been tough, had to cut dairy, have halved my coffee intake, am on day 12 of no lollies , losing weight was not intentional

I thought that was the case. As long as you're feeling better, the weightloss is a bonus.

Why don't pizza cutters come with a sleeve? Rotary cutters do and so they should but a pizza cutter not always. I want one that doesn't want to bite me when I'm rooting around in my drawer.

[โ€“] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 points 5 days ago

I'm a tightarse and just use a chefs knife. One less thing to clean I guess.

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 points 5 days ago

My rotary pizza cutter comes with a cover. The one I actually use for cutting pizza is a rocker cutter, which is long and straight and sits neatly (and safely) along the side of the drawer between the drawer edge and divider tray.

Hello. Was in the real world with some amazing people for a break last weekend then back in a work hole this week. Now chilling with some rave choons and a lil bubbly and about to make tea. How's this winter start treating us all?

Saturdays are always a bit grim for me, as it's the osteoporosis pill day. Which comes with very inconvenient side effects but it's only one day of the week and the pills are working so I persist with them. Tomorrow is my best weekend day. Will update this time tomorrow.

[โ€“] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 2 points 4 days ago

Bless. Bring on Sunday!!

Hot flushes have died right down which is a relief. Have upgraded to wearing a t-shirt to bed. Still no pants but it is early days.

[โ€“] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Looks like the BOM website is down - mine is showing no data for today or tomorrow. Anyone else having the same problem?

[โ€“] SituationCake@aussie.zone 2 points 4 days ago

Just checked and it seems to be. Phone app has data looks to be working normally.

I'm having a YouTube comments "dialogue" with the creator of the Fallout franchise (and also outer worlds).

Kinda cool.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 4 days ago

it is definitely cool

The weekend begins with Boyo wriggling his butt and declaring himself to be a pizza bagpipe. While asleep in case that wasn't obvious

I'm off shopping again, anyone need anything?

[โ€“] Pilk@aussie.zone 3 points 5 days ago

Get yourself a tracksuit set from Aldi, I am routinely impressed by the quality and price of their clothes and today's travel trackies set is no exception.

[โ€“] Force_majeure1234@aussie.zone 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Fruit juice and healthy snacks please

doing computer and phone stuff continues

just watching lots of youtubes and reading user manual/instructions

does everyone do this, it seems i'm the only one who has no idea what I'm doing ( also, I don't use icloud, so don't suggest it )

doing this is such a time suck and it tires me out , seems useless too

this piece of shit iphone reminds me of those 1980s stereos that had a hundred useless buttons but they were a selling point

i will never use iphone for music again. never ever ever

only new music media will be cds/LPs from now on

I am near tears, I am trying to save many hundreds of albums

asked husband the computer expert what to do, he has the same phone, he said he doesn't know and doesn't use the phone for apps

then why fucking buy that model ๐Ÿ˜ 

[โ€“] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 2 points 4 days ago

Piracy is another option.

How's the weather meant to fare today? I might wear the kids out with some letterboxing

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Cloudy with a chance of Swedish meatballs.

[โ€“] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Waited until the afternoon when it was nice and clear, and turns out we're having meatballs for dinner

See predictions were almost correct.
