Apparently I'm a monster because I closed the bedroom door while I re-strung my guitar. Strings are very pointy at the ends, and would easily hurt a cats body or in particular, their eyes.

You would think I was actively torturing a rather small cat if you heard the wails. So dramatic.

I googled how to increase my blue tooth range and it said to put them closer together.

I've tried to play that game so many times, but the deep sea scares me in ways I find difficult to verbalise.

Sometimes, I just skate across the top to the islands and scream because I don't know what's below me, and what if they're all chasing me just under the surface.

What's your favourite bits of the game? :)

Family visiting this weekend and I whipped up a proper lunch for everyone around my table. Realised it's the first time I have cooked for a group in this new place. And it worked well. It's a small apartment but everyone fit and chilled and it was really nice. I needed that. ๐Ÿ’›

The sun is getting very tardy about rising these days, most disappointing. Mr Woof insisted I get up at 6am this morning and now he's gone back to bed and I'm sitting on the couch looking out at darkness.

Here's a weird one.

Neighbour dropped off some chocolate yesterday out of the blue.

This guy complains about my leaves on the nature strip.. cuts his lawn with hand shears. I've only spoken to him maybe 3 times.

He's an odd dude.. but..

then he said which uni degree which I did well over a decade ago.. How the fuck would he know that.

Major stalking vibes.

And next time refuse it. Don't take gifts from weirdos. It might feel like the more dangerous option to refuse, but assholes may treat is as you owing them some kind of debt.

The Sydney Road Street Party is on, and this is great. Chilling on my balcony with a coffee and getting some free live music. ๐Ÿค˜

I am made of regrets,
Of atoms and silhouettes,
A life repaying the debt
Of a misspent youth.
Trashy and uncouth,
Nothing to show for
For the years on show for
A man who didn't know what he had to lose,
While he lost, now I'm a loser too.

[โ€“] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

Not forewent.

Well spent.

Expreience is cumulative

This is why we live.

I watched "The Fall" 2006 today. Such a beautiful movie, visually and the story too. Can recommend. It's only available on YT and it's free, no ads.

Took Minipeelers to an optometry appointment, which I cleverly scheduled when the Brunswick Music Festival started. I love local festivals! I just had the nicest salt and pepper calamari I've had in years, and the fish and chips swoons. It's a great vibe down here and it's only going to get better! I encourage anyone who can to get down here and enjoy the day, there's going to be so much free music and street performers, plus I've already bought something from a couple of street vendors, there's heaps of stalls. Don't mind me I just love this kind of thing!

The days seem to be flying by so fast. Does anyone else remember that old ad of Jimeoin repeatedly sliding past the camera in his jocks yelling "Monday!" "Tuesday!" ...?

Thought I was going to try Jack fruit tonight. Turns out this tin is less than 10%. A exercise in reading labels better. ๐Ÿ˜พ

I made plunger coffee today. Sorry I french pressed the coffee today. I haven't done this since maybe last century and it worked first go. I will be drinking coffee all day and be thinking about a nice coffee cosy to make.

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Once you get it right and learn how much to use youโ€™ll find out how wonderful it is.

Itโ€™s a little bit more grounded and intense I find via a plunger but it does taste quite nice like that.

Hope you enjoy!

Oh I am enjoying. Thank you.

I'm currently in preserving mode. Yesterday I bottled some potatoes and put some zucchini in the dehydrator. This morning I ground the dried zucchini to make flour and cut a load of tomatoes to dry. I plan to do some zucchini pickles today (and maybe marinated capsicums) and have plans in the next few days to smoke some chillis and start on jam making.

Dad turned up with a new kitchen gadget for me. A new, cripple proof kettle that I donโ€™t even have to lift to use.

I donโ€™t need it - I have two perfectly good, fairly new kettles already, the second of which I initially bought specifically because my parents argued my first (basic stovetop) kettle wasnโ€™t safe for someone with my balance to use. I havenโ€™t asked for it. It solves a problem that for me at least fundamentally doesnโ€™t matter/doesnโ€™t exist.

But I have a new kettle nevertheless. And heโ€™s stashed both my old ones on a high shelf I canโ€™t reach, because itโ€™s the only cupboard or shelf space my kitchen has left, so I canโ€™t even change it back.

Itโ€™s a good kettle, donโ€™t get me wrong. I just donโ€™t quite know why he decided to get it for me.

Maybe someone else recommended it, and he acted on that recommendation. Which is fine as far as it goes. I figure it's a bit rude to just show up with it and re-configure your pre-existing quite satisfactory arrangements though.

This box was made for me,
These clothes are my bed, you see?
As the old saying goes,
If I can comfortably fit
Both my nose and my toes,
Then within it I must sit!
