I mentioned the other day that I knew one of the boys that was murdered in Sydney. It was Luke Davies.

I had only known him for a couple of years, since his cabin crew training here in Melbourne, so I am not close enough to his friends or family to really be connected to their community in mourning.

But in my own way I just want the universe to know that each and every word about how he was a beautiful soul are true.

This is a fate that I am still failing to comprehend. My heart aches for his family and close friends. I will dearly miss him.

Just one more big bear hug would have been nice, hey fella?

[-] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago

Condolences mate.

I have absolutely no idea what I’d like to do today

[-] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago

Library trip!!! Or take a leaf from @baku's book and go travelling to somewhere. St Kilda pier for cakes and coffee? Altona Beach? PT goes to a lot of places even if you limit yourself to trains/trams.

I hurt my hand with the vacuum so no more vacuuming. Cunt.

[-] StudChud@aussie.zone 6 points 8 months ago

It's a sign, no chores today!

[-] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago

My little finger agrees.

[-] Duenan@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago

This weekend has made me moody and I don't want to socialise much. I hate to admit that I'm trying to make food stretch as long as I can so it'll be less of a burden to deal with food next fortnight, let's hope I don't get sick from doing it.

Waiting for my dad to come by who wants to store something, will I be at home today? Yes I will.

Thanks son, I'll come by and put it in your garage, oh by the way, I need your help carrying it into the garage.

Thanks dad, just make it all the more inconvenient and disturb me when I don't want to see anyone and have a headache.

Omg we have a VHS player! I actually have a bag of VHS tapes I got from an op shop last year. I've never played a VHS before and I'm kinda excited ngl

I don't even know what I bought honestly. There's a handwritten one about wildflowers, and some Disney movie, but I don't know about the rest. I just saw 10c each and was like "ooh! Old people media! I will buy!" Love ya, Vinnie's

[-] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 8 months ago

Hey. Those "old people" tapes may contain some risque stuff. Be careful.

full offense to A Certain Workplace but me kinda drunk operating with a hand full of fruit tingles is a better fucking laptop repairer than their entire dedicated staff.

(going over my loot so far not even a bung part. JFC. Corporations that do this need to be shot.)

I wish a bug was as entertaining to me as it is to my cat.

That said, big day of interview preparation coming up. Got my friend to help me with some technical stuff this evening so that will help heaps.

Enjoy your day everyone ⭐

[-] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 6 points 8 months ago

My cat finds onion skins to be very entertaining. Cats are very adept at finding joy in the simple things.

Presenting the beginnings of the metric polypipe DOME OF DOOM for the chilli patch.

Garden ties and an old bike tube as lashing. I doubt it'll be sturdy enough but we'll see

Think I might wait and think about the netting for the next week and just see if the frame holds up.

Ahhhhhh, it's VHS Cinderella!

All I need now is one of those boxy TVs with the bulgey front and a fireplace (and also to sit half a cm away from the screen) and I'll be a certified 90s kid!

[-] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago

Hahaha. Those boxy tvs are called CRT (cathode ray tubes) televisions.

The crazy yelling guy in my neighbourhood is getting quite deranged. He was sitting at a tram stop screaming incoherently at a bunch of people sitting outside at the pub for a good ten minutes or more, a cop car even drove past entirely unaware. He always sounds really hoarse and threatening, always loud, but I can barely make out what he's saying

Not enough brain for proper sewing so made twiddles. Very happy with colour match, but the advisability of usage near felines remains to be seen. tassels

Why is it so hard to figure what to write about difficult family stuff in a kind considerate way when dickheads seem to have no trouble finding the words to be nasty .

[-] Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago

Shoulder injury headache is kicking my ass. Bed for the rest of the day. It's been a long time since I've had one, I've forgotten how shitty they feel.

Something ate a bunch of my chillies :(

Not all of them, only the ripe ones but i'm still upset.

I'll try and put a little cage over them and see if that helps.

[-] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 7 points 8 months ago

Well at least you can rest easy knowing there's a little critter out there with a sore bum and regrets.

Just drove back home to the city from Ballarat. The smoke is absolutely disgusting there. Got into my apartment and promptly spewed my guts out. Not sure if it's the smoke or something I had.

[-] wscholermann@aussie.zone 6 points 8 months ago

Melbourne has got a tinge of smoke too now.

Think I did at least one thing right in a former life…

Odeon of Herodes Atticus

[-] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago

Oh man. I've been going between frantically doing the work that can't be easily done with the furbaby around, and completely resting.

She's coming home on Tuesday and hopefully full of cuddles. I hope I don't get the cold shoulder for putting her in the cattery.

Dinner has been made and devoured.

Took some slices of bread, did some Devon and Strasberg, onions, cherry tomato and a fried egg and some tomato sauce.

Wasn’t bad at all, hopefully it don’t feel hungry later but I might too if off with some ice cream depending on how I’m feeling.

[-] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago

I've made some chicken laksa, hope it lasts a few days
