She reminds me so much of one of my long departed buzz slugs. ๐Ÿ–ค

I bought 3 big sacks of dry cat food yesterday but since I can't lift heavy objects they haven't been put away.

Bill and Ted have been guarding the sacks all night. ๐Ÿ˜บ

FF 7 Rebirth disc is in and installing/updating. PS5 ran out of space so I nuked a couple of my games for her. Should have a very impressed wife this evening.

Bad case of the CBF's today. I think I might "not be feeling well" and take the rest of the day off.

[โ€“] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago

You deserve it

Hello and good day to you too.

Slept well, got up to the alarm easy, not too hot for my run - doggo was good company - new PB. Felt pretty good

Side note - if i was to compete against the 4 minute mile record holder, they would beat me by almost exactly 4 minutes.

Driving my old gentleman client for shopping today. He's a very pious old Greek man and prays before we set off and along the way - I notice we get a smooth run and good parks so I'm all for it!

I know it's not super popular these days, but the crypto space is back in its "exciting enough to keep people awake watching charts" phase. It has been quite a while since it was going as hard as it is at the moment and my modest portfolio is doing quite well.

This means the market will likely die in the arse tomorrow or Friday because that's just how it goes. I'd love to live in fantasy land where it just keeps going like it has been and I end up buying a house in cash but the world just isn't good to me like that.

I hate traffic. Spent way too much time waiting to get onto the Ring Road this morning, then way too much time waiting to get off it this afternoon. It's been a long day in general with way too much driving for my tastes, so I'm glad to be home on the couch now.

This dinosaur water colour exercise is becoming a project of it's own.

I admit I love how it's making me think of what colours I should use, for example, what colour was the sky in the Permian ( it was greenish) and how to use shading. What colours are the animals , what colour the plants and the dirt.

I could also just make it all up and not go with realism!!

I keep obsessing, thinking of going to the art shop and getting brushes and inks and paints but I can't walk well yet.

Only about 350 books to cover with contact paper.

Will I go insane before I finish?

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Can you put some music on while you do it? If so, put a disco/rave/party mix on haha.

I like putting my Eurovision playlist on when I do tedious shit (doing the dishes, vacuuming, life-admin, etc), it makes the time go faster :D

Is anyone following the Marion Barter disappearance. Today is the day the coroner hands down her findings. Such a sad story.

Just heard someone say tomorrowโ€™s the first day of Autumn. What the hell happened to Summer, how is it finished already? Head spin.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago

pretty sure the first day of Autumn is the equinox and this year is March 20th

What's the best powdered chicken or beef stock I can get at Coles/Woolies/aldi?

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago

I use salt reduced Massel, but that isnโ€™t actually chook.

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago

Continental chicken stock powder. It comes in a red container. If you don't mind stock cubes get Oxo.
