Melbourne

Sometimes, in a split second I get this kind of sadness when I see something.

I saw a guy with his son and he was showing him how to fill the car with petrol.

Nothing special. Unless you've never really had a father. Then you think about all the other stuff you had to learn by yourself; like shaving, driving, finding your first job and hundreds of other small things you don't normally think about.

I suppose there's pride in having navigated from age 14 till 41 by yourself. But it's a poor 2nd place prize.

Sorry for the downer.

Got my flu shot yesterday and feeling a bit meh today. Generally I have little to no side effects, but this one has managed to kick my arse slightly.

Get your flu shots anyway people!!

My new passport arrived today. Pretty impressive turnaround, I only put the application in on Friday. Definitely a huge improvement on the post-Covid backlog days.

Ugh I feel like I heard somebody walking around on the deck at the front door. I'm not home alone, but the roommate is asleep. It's probably just possums on the roof, but it definitely felt like somebody on the verandah. I know that it's probably nothing and to put my mind at rest I should flick the light on and have a peek out the window, but I really don't want to. The conundrums of being an independent mini human :/

OCD chillo sorting achieved.

I am very interested in the small mid right ones. The cultivar is old, no longer common, sweet and fuckn' hawt:

Gawd I'm starting to sound crazy.

I need 10 hours sleep from now on. 8 isn't enough. So tired...

Out walking the doggo with a beer, thinking a burger would be nice right now...Whatever happened to food trucks at parks of an autumn evening?

Ugh, fkn clothes moths. uGH UGH

Get a message from mygov 'link your digital id!'

Actual link goes to using your digital id to log into your mygov oh hell no.

Is it Hot Take Thursday? I think it is. Anyway my hot take is: Milo is not that great. It's ok on ice cream or the occasional hot drink but it's pretty bland.

Tonight tackling the pile.

Seed collection, making flakes/dust, fermenting and trying not to rub eyes or no no bits

Only fermenting the really little ones as they're unique for some reason and I need to see what happens.

But.. planning on collecting a lot of the seeds, so if anyone wants any, lemmy know if you Want it (they last for years).

Which brings us to today's rave choon:

Miss Meow says it is definitely dinner time right now and is claiming my explanation about changing clocks to be an unfounded conspiracy theory.

Online friend group drama has gone full batshit and is affecting my own mental health. Time to log off and just try and take a break from there. :/

Please guys remember to post your meals on !foodaustralia@aussie.zone. I just had someone from Spain post which is pretty cool. Special thanks to @bull@aussie.zone and @PeelerSheila@aussie.zone for their regular contributions.

Ooops! Overslept and hour and a half and was late for work today.

Hope the day goes quickly today.

My hope for no rain today?

Clouds are clearing in Gippsland, this is good as I didn't want to inspect a car in the rain. Please let this be a decent one, I hate car shopping so much.

Got my new shoes, got my haircut and saw my doctor. Time to go home and relax.

Fairly productive day all things considered.

I’m going to get my roast veg in the oven, and then I’m going to have a luxurious hot shower followed by cozy jim jams

I have about an hour of work left, and zero (0) fucks left

Oy.

Haircut in the arvo and some new running shoes. Life is good.

Enjoy your day everyone ❤️

My duo bird is now sending me countdowns

Who wants tomorrows thread - friday April 12, 2024?

I'm dusty and frazzled from my unexpectedly hyper extended trip thanks to trespassers on the track and my overall confusion around inspecting a car and trying to decide what can slide and what's risky. I get different answers from different people about how important documented logbook servicing is.

Folks with a working class background tell me it's not everything if it clears a pre purchase inspection and drives ok, and won't impact resale value that much, plenty of people just get their mates to do the servicing and it's turned out fine. Everyone else is like no way... rather even take a similar car with some aesthetic panel damage if it's got a solid logbook.

My bin doesn't make clink clink clinkity clink any more. I miss saying "that's my bin" when the truck goes past.
