Mattress salespeople are absolutely insane.

Kept feeling like I was a hot chip surrounded by seagulls.

I'm amazed we made it out of Nunawading alive

I'll attempt (half heartedly) to do some housework I didn't do yesterday. The mini peelers need their school uniforms washed so that's first cab off the rank. Then I'll produce some kind of chicken dish, maybe my ginger plum sauce chicken.

I need to get some housework done today, it's so never ending! What time should we all be over for chicken?!

I did my research last night for where I'd go for breakfast in Bright, walked up to it in the chilled morning drizzle eager for some (reviewer described) fluffy yellow eggs and coffee only to find, to my horror, that a sign on the door said "We are closed for annual leave until June 26, sorry we missed you"

I was so disappointed I left town immediately. I drove without a specific destination, in search of a place of fluffy yellow eggs and delicious coffee.

I find myself now in Wangaratta, sat inside a cafe I spotted as I drove through the city centre. Eggs ordered, sipping my coffee and listening to my audiobook through my headphones. The sun is shining.

What a terrible disapointment. I am very glad the story has a happy ending.

This modern trend of inaudible dialogue in film and TV is irritating.

@Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone here is the Fiji water photo at sunrise today.

Now I’m in Suva after having spent the week on an island paradise but still a few more days before flying back to cold Melbourne.

I have drafted a no doxxing clause to add to the community guidelines https://aussie.zone/comment/173580

I feel like turning rules-based ideas like "don't dox people" into positive values-based statements is a very healthy experience. I need to do this in more areas of my life 🙂

If someone is feeling reach-ey out-ey... Here's some DT member names pulled from my RES:

Bacon’s doc is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oMhrX4Pal2el0Km6l_1C_INnqUCpr_E-L0NPYyYb49o/htmlview#gid=0

You can edit without needing to login/signup. 💪🏻

Edit: Also dumblederp, way to go on the names! I recognise a bunch, but wouldn’t remember them off the top of my head.

I have just discovered there is a reference for all the emojis. https://emojipedia.org/

It has an official list of what they actually represent (which is what is read out when using text to voice software) and shows you what they actually look like on different platforms. You can paste an emoji into the search bar to look up what it means. Very handy if you are like me and spend way too much time wondering if that little face is actually smiling or grimacing.

Just spent the last few hours at the office "redecorating" for a coworker who's back from leave tomorrow. Cow themed. I've never been more productive

[-] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 12 points 1 year ago

Is the theme because they are a coworker?

So were you mooving things around?

I’m sure your co worker will be udderly delighted by your very mooving gesture.

Good morning! This is your Chef speaking. For ingredients purchase purpose I have made a roll call spreadsheet. Please check that your name is there, and add those who are missing / you've messaged. There are a couple of people whom we can't remember the names of. Would be great if you know their names. Much appreciated.

First actual night sleep since Wed. This tum bug is the rudest.

I think half my carry-on luggage will be TP when i fly out on Tues. Funny to think but 3 years ago customs would probably question you about that.

[-] Baku@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

What would you guys' love to see added to Lemmy? Personally, I kinda miss the Reddit trophies, how am I going to feel superior to all of you who signed up 4 days ago if I can't flex ending up in the x year club 2 days earlier???

[-] Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 11 points 1 year ago

You make an interesting point. I was reading Lemmy documentation and some GitHub discussion regarding gamification. I did like the little fun things/quirks of Rdt, but can also understand the reasoning for why/why not.

I am honestly just impressed that members of the DT have put effort in to keep going. So just seeing everyone’s posts for the time being is enough for me. Funny how when it closed the first time, I had things that I was like, I’ll do my little brain dump/share to DT, and then realised I couldn’t and it was admittedly silly and sad at the same time.

[-] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

Automod tools and the ability to pin comments within posts is high on my list at the moment. But mostly better sort tools and the ability to create custom feeds. Although working with a couple of different accounts is a bit like having custom feeds.

Have been to market. I bought bread, I bought milk, I bought veg, I bought meat, I bought Turkish delight, I bought baba ghanoush…

I feel as though I’ve at least brushed against the food pyramid

Good news, I got some pants at the market and they're really good pants too, I've had them on my wishlist for a while.

Bad news, my dad and stepmum believed for a good moment of that hoax where school students identifying as cats that started in America. So... That was fun. They're not like cookers, but I can see why it's easy to believe that stuff. But man...

[-] omoikiri@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago

Oh no. I just came to Bunnings to buy a rake. But I’ve just noticed that it’s bare root rose and fruit tree season…

Mid-clean break: sausage and eggs on toast.

I've sat down to do the theory work for my first aid and cpr training tomorrow and I'm already falling asleep, curse my uninterested brain.

[-] Sir_ListerOfSmeg@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago

Sauna was good. Then home for my usual Sunday "everything shower" as the kids call it these days.

Skin is scrubbed, legs are shaved, hair is washed, face is cleansed/toned/moisturised.

Made some iced lattes. Might force Mr Smeg out of bed so we can go mattress shopping.

Kiddo is too big for size 000 but a little too small for 00. 00 has little grippy things on the feet, but says it’s 3 -6 months. Surely he’s not needing grip in the next couple of months?!
