Dear DT and Baku,

I want to apologise for the abusive language I directed at Baku. I was inappropriate, and I regret the hurt I caused. I am sorry for contributing to your decision to delete your account, Baku.

To the DT, I apologise for disrupting the thread and creating unnecessary drama. I failed to maintain the respectful and civil atmosphere of this community, and I understand how my actions may have disappointed the group.

I have learned from this mistake and will be more mindful in the future.

Chilli patch update.

Starting to get some little baby habs now.

Also Winston the intruder:

Jumped the fence, wanted a pat, took a whizz in the garden and went home. He's a good boi.

As long as she's happy, life will be fine.

An evening of learning some new songs and just hanging out with fluffball.

I hope everyone has a great night ❤️

Her nest is getting bigger!

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 points 5 months ago

I think in the wild cats like dry leaves in a nest so I imagine soft paper is just as good if not better. 🐈‍⬛🍂😻

Today I enculturate the children. We’ve going to NGV

[–] bacon@aussie.zone 5 points 5 months ago

We love the NGV.

Usually I’m an out all day fiend, but I have ridden the loop up through Healesville, Marysville and Reefton and am back.

I didn’t even leave that early. My poor earplugs have died and I am ded, but happy. My mate was right when they said nothing beats it.

Now to do some things in silence. RIP little hairs in ears, I am sorry.

Happy Sat, DDT fam! 🌞

A Tesla failed to give way on the morning dog walk and my first instinct was to Seig Heil it. I didn't, but that was my first thought.

Todays a write off. Headache making me sleep on and off today.

Woke up mega late which I’ve been trying to fix.

Neck’s really sore on one side still.

At least the women’s cricket is on tonight for a bit.

[–] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 9 points 5 months ago

Goodnight everyone! Up at 5:30am to go to a community breakfast tomorrow. Sweet dreams 💤

Made this with half a head of cauliflower to take to my friend's (and clear out my fridge a bit) according to this recipe - I gotta say came out quite nice and actually really easy to make. Did not end up mushy or too crunchy! Definitely gonna add this to the rotation

yum

I learnt today that Canada has a potato chip flavour called "All-Dressed". It's a super combo of "ketchup", BBQ, salt & vinegar and sour cream & onion. I'm literally frothing at the thought.

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 5 points 5 months ago

Isn't that also a bagel they do? Either way, I wanna try!!

It was so nice going to a friend's place for dinner and bringing a plate, I haven't done that with a friend in so long.. Used to do it with my old circle of friends so I miss it being a frequent way of catching up. Much cheaper than eating out and more fun to cook for others (even with a shitty kitchen). I made a capsicum and shiitake mushroom stir fry to go with the cauliflower, took some of my pickled daikon and carrot and she had made a lovely seafood soup and grilled mackerel and rice. What a feast!

dins

and then after figuring out a little carpark app trick to getting 4h paid parking in a 2h spot in Carlton (parking really is harder now, RIP 4h and free spots), we headed into the city and I treated myself to an indulgent black sesame parfait 😋

dessert!

Now it's time to sleep and not read more severance theories... Night all.

Sick the last few days. Have to generate and compile monthly reports this weekend and prepare for a strategy meeting with the new client i was handed.

I've decided to let leadership know they have until the 10th of Feb to make a decision about my raise or I'll be entertaining other offers.

Midtown Madness worked with the trusty 8bitdo controller. Almost too well as after one demonstration the boys know to open the laptop and which icon is for midtown madness.

I guess I'm unlocking the firetruck tonight and I might have to donate the 8bitdo to them

Craving cheap and delicious onigiri. Japan has ruined me.

Picking up the bike from getting serviced today. A bit more on the expensive side, but then I have been carting around two kids in a trailer on what is otherwise meant to be a rather sporty bike

Freecycle's admins are in need of better drugs. Can't get more Inner West than Foots!

Cultural experience complete. Lunch eaten I’ve started a load of washing and have some time to kill before going to see my parents for dinner

Something with a tender, flaky texture and a unique flavor that is often compared to that of chicken please. And a coffee please.
