Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Such a pretty cat! You must have some great memories with her, being so pretty and so torti-ed. I have a dilute torti, and rest assured it's only her colouring that is diluted, not the tortitude!
Oh yes! When we adopted TheVoid we asked LDH for somebody with enough personality to stand up to a 16yo Tortie. They blinked hard.
She sounds perfect!
aw, she's lovely
and hugs
Absolute embodiment of the word Tortietude

Good night all from the fluffball and her victim lol β€οΈ
One particular co-worker is irritating me to high heaven today and can absolutely go sit on a rusty pipe for a while. Ffs.
so tired
husband thinks we might have a bug
Aldi have these cheese sticks. I eat them every day
So my question of the day is: What are you loving sick lately? Could be anything!
I've been tracking my food and seeing that I'm not eating much fat so I've started using camembert as butter in my egg on toast, and stirring a tea spoon of peanut butter into my porridge. Both of these things have been a solid improvement to each meal.
Interesting
I used to have a teaspoon of butter with porridge, maybe I should do that again, it tastes delicious
Project Hail Mary on Audible!! Hands down, the best audiobook I've ever listened to. The guy who reads it embodies the character so well, and they even have a voice for the "alien" character. I remember just_kitten talking about it on here (who I think also recommended Severance iirc?), and so when it came to decide on what to listen to, I went in blind.
@just_kitten@aussie.zone, if you're reading this, please drop more recs :)
(I've also been milking the Audible free trial for about six months now by signing up with different emails, please don't tell them hehe)
sour feijoa gummies
I get them from NZ
but also walking and shell collecting
βWhy yes focus group thatβs paying $600 for 4 hours online work, I am absolutely someone who goes fishing all the timeβ.
To ChatGPT: β So hereβs the thingβ¦β
Reel 'em in!
For tonight I chose an ab workout. I am an idiot. I haven't seen my abs since 2006. What the hell was I thinking?
They're still there. A strong core is good.
I have now successfully visited a new place and aquired some mulch. The landscape supply place is a tiny bit more expensive than Bunnings, but it has an indoor drive in area that was much nicer than having to wrangle lots of stuff on a trolley (probably 2 or 3 trips worth) in the rain.
Oooo whereat?
Ballarat Landscape Supply, so probably a touch out of the way for most people in the group π
Any of you lot who need to de-fur their face use a cut throat? Contemplating getting Boyo one
Does he cut with the grain or against? Is he good with sharpening tools? Does he nick himself regularly?
You can get nice Safety razors. That's what my man uses.
A double edge safety razor is a nicer experience imo. +Brush. +Poraso soap. +Sample pack of different blades. $50=$150
I used to!!!!
Was using disposable blades though, not a proper old school single piece one.
Great shave. Takes a bit of practice, but a good skill to have. A nice shaving kit, with a proper razor, brush and stand makes an awesome gift.
Husband got a Welcome to Cuntry the other day when a roo jumped out and smashed his front grill and bounced off with his badge.
He gets to drive my grandma car now.
Getting ready to head to the gym and pulled a muscle in the worst possible spot where I canβt do either upper or lower body.
Win some, lose some. Looks like itβs me and fluffy butt hanging out today.
Nothing says R U OK like a kit kat.
We got kit kits too! In a little cardboard sleeve.
beach, I have my thermals on, a woolen polo jumper, a woollen zip up jacket and a rain coat , wool hat and scarf
hope I'll be warm enough
will take pics π
Iβm going out Saturday night to celebrate the results.
Why the fuck not. If you donβt go out and celebrate news like this, then nothing is worth celebrating π

Local trivia last night, rocked in 2nd place again!
Woo hoo π₯
What's your strongest category? Mine is food & drink and random general knowledge shit.
Random general knowledge shit. I know a little bit about lots of things, but not a whole lot of anything (expect Stargate).
Movie Review
The Brutalist.
A long movie about art and artists and the artistic life.
His life is chaotic. Nothing is ever easy. Maybe that is the point. ( but the movie is carefully constructed )
I am going to watch it again tomorrow.
Late night YT discovery - and this lady has clearly articulated some things I feel very strongly about and wholly agree. Particularly right now.
