Thanks for the welcomes all. I am currently overseas, have been for a few year and now heading back. Restarting life in Melbourne after QLD, don't know a peep in melbs. Looking forward to the legendary coffee and the rain. Not looking forward to the move.
Seems chill and fun in here, always good to see.
Welcome!
Ahoy!
Welcome!!
Welcome . ๐
Hiya! We have cats and do breakfast
Welcome!
Meal prep-ma-geddon. I've been cooking a meal prep daily for a week. 20x apricot "chicken", chilli, pasta "meat"balls, dahl and shepards pie. About 100 meals filling the big new freezer I bought. I also made a dozen or so in take away tupperware to give to friends.
now we know where to go when the mageddon happens ๐คญ . but seriously, well done on the effort and sharing the meals with friends๐ .
Well done! Perhaps you would like to join us at !foodaustralia@aussie.zone where pics are most welcome.
I don't really have any pics. A Fisher and Paykell 389L Upright freezer and a shitload of the IKEA $2 square glass tupperware.
Oh you don't need pics. Just tell us what you're eating.
what a lovely sunny day ๐
ugh, reading and watching too much on personality disorders, now all i can think is I have one
โน๏ธ
ok, self assurance here, just because I have faults I don't like doesn't mean i'm disordered or evil
the worst is treatment for trauma reveals disorder
Aren't we all a little crooked in the head? You're a kind and compassionate human who has come through a lot and you still raised your daughter right. Hugs to you. ๐ซโค๏ธ
thanks ๐ฅน
Today's Baumgartner is a must for all of us who enjoy Seagoon's shells.
I love these paintings. ( and thanks for enjoying my shells ๐ฅน )

Dinner with Boyo's fam, it's the end of an era for them and I'm really happy for them.
How is everyone going tonight?
Sounds like a big deal. ๐
I'm human enough to think work tomorrow is possible, but not actually keen on the idea.
I cried on my way to work this morning, I'm still trying to decide if it's just a) self doubt b) genuine distaste c) already sick of having to wrangle young men that clearly don't want to work.
Either way, we can do this Cat!
You got a bunch of fucknut kids in the warehouse?
One young man takes any excuse to vanish (he's been around a few years), one young man seems a touch overwhelmed by everything I'm trying to teach him. Which I get, nothing in that place is straight forward, but you don't need the big forklift for lifting jute rolls!!!
Oh Hon. mega hugs from PickleTwistie Sometimes young men are their own worst problem. Don't avoid the word bitch.
God I love PickleTwistie!!!
Also, I haven't been playing PoGo a whole lot lately because I kind of got burnt out on Pikachu, but today I fiiiiiiinally had enough candy to evolve my Toxel and I was all "if this evolves into one I've already caught in raids, I'm so done with this game" and lo and behold... it turned into the one I didn't have. So the game is working to keep me!
I've not done Toxel yet. Only just evolved Snom, now working on Larvestar. The 400 candy critters are MEAN. And so is the tram to work for being just fast enough the distance doesn't count.
I'm going to play around with the DSLR we have at work here some more. A proper digital camera isn't super necessary, but it would be nice to have.
Is anyone here into photography? Have any particularly strong opinions on cameras?
Schneider lens good. That's all I know.
Freezer failed last week while I was away. Got it working so it's refrozen but 4 days.. A lot of it is still maybe alright..
Need to clean.. may as well do the fridge at the same time...
๐
4 days? Wouldn't risk it. Might even be worth insurance claim depending what you had in there
I've got a 3.5 drawer upright bar freezer for free in Springy if you want it. If anyone does really. It's a bit used-as-a-whiteborad but it works fine. I bought a 400L upright bad boy to hold my meal prep Armageddon.
Would people like to combine Games & Halloween @ mine? Dressing up optional but I'd make very silly food.
Spooky butler cats available.
