F YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just had a knock on the door and the police handed me back my mower and whipper snipper plus a 6ah and 5ah battery. Thats the bulk of my replacement costs there! all appears to be working as well. Still short a few tools and batteries, but police know who did it they are just trying to find him.

Mooooon

Hey @briongloid@aussie.zone we're in May not March. I blame Yarrabyte for not turning up today.

Why is going to Chemist Warehouse such a stressful experience? Narrow isles with too many people, long waits for prescriptions and then waiting in a line to collect them. Then another line to pay. Or maybe my local is just a bad one. This place is a time suck.

Morning.

I’m off into The Desert today. Sky will (hopefully) be pretty

Yeah, someone else offered an explanation that made more sense and I think I was definitely wrong on the internet. Which is annoying because normally I’m the one being really picky about sources and reading comprehension.

All I can say is that I haven’t been sleeping and have been vomiting today. The past few days have been rough so I wasn’t thinking too clearly when trying to get something that seemed important out there.

Also I’m a bit defensive (when normally more chill) because others (not on Lemmy) have been stirring me up. 😑

Just noticed today that La Trobe St outside State Library Station is now clear for eastbound traffic, definitely a sign we're getting much closer to opening the munnel. They've also laid brand new cobblestone in a side street which is pretty cool.

It's..... May isn't it?

I've said hello to more strangers today than in the late 5 years.

I just realised it is not Friday. This is a good thing, as I don't have to go to work untiil Saturday.

I have now officially spent a small fortune on stuff for the new place. A fair bit of it is stuff that needed to be replaced anyway, and some of it is just because I want the place to look nice. It's been a bit tricky to work out how to place all the furniture, but I think I've got a layout that will work (pending measurement for a couple of things). It's a fairly square lounge/dining area, with foot traffic that will cross somewhat diagonally from the rest of the house to the door to the back yard. I'm not sure it would be possible to get a decent layout if you had a tv. A big couch or dining table would also be tricky.

The biggest purchase is a (very small) dining table and a couple of chairs. I spent nearly as much on new furniture for Miss Meow too - I had been planning to recover the tree she currently has as the frame is good, but it's not really going to fit in the new place. So now instead of one big corner unit she will have two smaller units and a window hammock. I also bought a couple of pink fluffy footstools that look like her cat bed on legs that I expect she will use for snoozing.

I've also bought lots of dull but necessary things - new doormats, drawer and shelf liners, suction cup shelves for the bathroom, felted end caps for all the furniture to stop it scuffing the hard floor. I also upgraded my mop and bucket as the main living area is all hard floor.

Edit: Miss Meow is going to have a little garden themed corner, including a

banana tree

surrounded by fallen leaves

with a flower themed climbing frame

Dammit dammit dammit.

Was so tired the glass lid of my double walled coffee cup slipped out of my hands and shattered.

So devastated about it and I have no replacement for it.

Good morning! Why do my knees only hurt when I lay down at night 🤔

Not sure if anyone’s interested in looking at this.

I’ve been playing Expedition 33 and just beat a tough optional boss. It’s a new rpg with an outstanding soundtrack & vision and needs some good reflexes.

It’s in 2 parts because I had to take a phone call.

Have fun if you decide to have a look at it.

Frost Eveque - part 1

Frost Eveque - Part 2

My tooth broke yesterday while I was eating lunch, so now I’ve got a toothache and dentist’s appt. Hopefully it’s just part of the crown and can be re-glued. The tooth also has a big filling so I’m a bit worried they’ll suggest pulling it out

Any recommendations for lunch in Woodend? Four adults two kids.

Ah man, I’m getting nitpicked over a news title when the site wouldn’t offer a suggested one for the link.

Like damn dudes, I don’t perfectly understand something that doesn’t apply to me. But I do know a law changing that could invalidate a lot of drivers licenses overnight might be something people should know about?

If I made a small mistake they can go read the article that will tell them the exact info.

Sandboarding at Lancelin. I have sand in my ears

Everytime I hear beef Wellington I get a little excited. If I was to make individual ones I'd use filo pastry not puff and slather that baby with melted butter. 😋

Looking for recommendations on both power tools and security cameras. My tools were Ryobi which I liked their reciprocating saw and blower but the mower wasn't great. I had a good experience with Ozito multitool, and been told apparently bunnings will take them back no questions asked. Open to any recommendations but budgets gonna be fairly tight since i'm starting over and want to spend money on cameras. On that note: Anyone had any installed? Things they liked, things they don't or installers that were good to work with?

I've figured out how people make those fancy designed emails that all look like one image (Figma and the snip tool to break it up into parts).

Does anyone know some good resources on graphic design so I can actually make decent looking designs?

I don't know any graphic design theory and everything I do just looks too bland or busy. I know how to use the tools, now I need to know how to make them look good.

Nooo, the thunder thighs have struck again and worn through another pair of jeans - my favourite ones at that! But they've outlasted quite a few, so I'll still take it as a win.

The best part about going back to classes is the coffee from the cafe next to the bus stop ☕

Their largest are actually L A R G E

It's a clear sign that I've lived too long away from this place that I look like a lost and bumbling tourist at the wet market. Doesn't help that I'm brandishing my own bags and containers like my mum does but the stallholders don't recognise me so I have to explain and stop them from giving me new bags.

Anyway, fresh you tiao!!! 😋 😋 😋
