Bot appears to be napping, so todayโs thread is brought to you by the colour thirteen, the number puce, and the total fabulousness of the Numbat
I did a thing!
Yes you did. Pretty cool.
Dear bunnings:
Please include in your app an option to exclude all fucking marketplace crap. It's a glorified shopping list, i don't need to see shit you don't have.
Especially when it drowns out actual store stock you great fopping twats
Marge!
Sky so pretty
What is this place?
Say hi to my cat

Brought to you by numbats and weekday bot #001.
With honorable mentions going to "I bought a thing" and "so this is my work situation."
PAKIDGE was a close contender. So was "I went to bunnings...."
Just did the weekly shop, and jesus fuck! At this point I'm seeing a $20-$40 per week increase, and that's with substitutions for lower priced items or just plain going without.
I feel like I'm going insane when I see an item I bought a week ago suddenly double the price.
Woolies understands. They want you to spend less. ๐ก
I'd spend less if it wasn't difficult for me to get to the got dang Aldi
I vote for this December as Numbat Appreciation Month. Moah numbats! Numbats everywhere! On every street corner! Roaming packs of numbats invading our parks and gardens. Enough numbats for everybody.
It looks like yesterday was Numbat day. https://www.australianenvironmentaleducation.com.au/australian-animals/numbat-maze/
I'm very happy that Numbats are actually known outside WA. there was a point where there were fewer than 1,000 left. Conservation programs have been very successful though, and while I don't know current numbers, I remember the celebration when they estimated there were over 2,000 now.
Night shift's over for the bats. It's now day shift for the lorikeets.
The Numbats are adorable. That is all.
I love them.
I would like a small numbat posse for Christmas please. I've been good.
Bot clearly got into the decaf batteries. Numbats are just too adorable for their own good. Their little noses ...
Bot really does not like weekends. I really need to organise the bootcamp and new office space I'm planning to try to get Bot to shape up and act a bit more professionally. I have two assignments due this week, and then I only have one subject still going so will hopefully be able to find more time.
Adjusting my sleep cycle back to normal hours is taking longer than I expected. Feel so utterly fucked during the day.
But that's what I get for going to bed at 5am for a month or so ๐
Gibson's bird tv is apparently more interesting than treats!

Do you have anything that is good for curing procastination?
when you are drunk and asleep you are not procrastinating
Great idea! As an added bonus I will probably get fired for drinking at work, which means I will have more time to do everything in, a win-win situation!
Ectoplasm icy pole thanks

Termite muesli please

A buffet of small invertebrates served with delicious sauces as appropriate for the species and some baguette. I am undecided about whether to choose coffee or tea, so maybe chai would be appropriate. This unexpected sunshine is doing my head in.
Ohh two days of 30 degrees coming up after all this rain. It's gonna be STEAMY
Tree up, time-lapse completed, front garden tree bow done. Added a blow up Christmas elf and pig to the front garden this year. Kids loved it. Multiple people commented on the walk past. Feels good man.
Ted is meowing like he's dying.
He can see Bill eating dinner through the glass door and Ted wants it. Ted hasn't even finish his own dinner yet
I've bought the 2024 planner and made sure it was a week to view with a task list at the side. (Lost the old one and am using one with a format that doesn't work well for me.) That's what has always worked for me, hopefully that corrals some of the stuff rattling around in my brain and helps me keep on top of things again.
And a new wallet because my old one broke - my cards are currently floating around in my bag and my Medicare care is... somewhere.
My finger slipped on a portable table easel and a drawing mannikin to make free postage. ๐คซ It's Xmas. I've been eyeing them off and I've found that propping the paper up helps a bit. The ebay lap desk I have is honestly more suited to using my laptop, and kind of awkward.
Room update. Bed and mattress secured. Ended up going plan A because the bed comes with a headboard which either needs wall support or mounted to a wall (so couldn't place it against the mirror). Very less space between desk and bed and a bit of wasted space in the corner but I shall downsize the desk and get something smaller. Now to pimp
my room.
Spent part of my morning watching video recaps of people who died caving. That Nutty, Putty or whatever that place is, the horror of that story gave me such a visceral reaction compared other awful stories. So horrible.
But of course I am stupid and will watch others.
Hit the Design Market, but didnโt buy anything and weird weather, but Iโll take it. Beyotch that rode my ass in your Audi SUV may you get the runs at Xmas. Have made it to a late lunch and will enjoy my two-wheeled cruise after.
Hope youโre enjoying your Sunday!
I think I've played over 24 hours of Hearthstone Battlegrounds this weekend ๐ฌ
I'm grudgingly working through the stupid cheap manga draw book... but if I quit now I'm admitting to being weaker than a preteen weeb. I really wish I'd gone through this stage back then tbh.
When I was a kid my art was weirdly adult so it's like going backwards
This fantastic. Thank you puce-bot!
Lol. You really hate the weekends don't you mate?
edit (this was supposed to be my option B, i done goofed up)
Measurements (in cms, roughly):
Room is 290x290 (118 x 118 in)
Table is 160x80 (and a bit for the chair, used a rug in place of chair in the image) (62 x 31 in)
Bed is 228x141 (88 x 55 in)
I need some help w arranging furniture in my room. I believe my room is 290cm x 290cm (and a bit for the door entrance). Room has mirror BIRs on one side and windows on the other side.
Option A would mean very little room to walk but option B is pushing one side of the bed towards the wall. Note that the bed has drawers on both sides so that also means no access to drawers on one side (i can potentially live with that). Does option B make more sense for me? Also gives me a lot more room to play with.
Edit 3: gone with option B. This is the room without the bed (arriving tomorrow). Excuse my busy table. Might shift out the IKEA Alex drawer in the future.
I'd go with option B as being more liveable - but you are going to get annoyed every time you have to climb on the bed to reach the blind cord, and changing the sheets is going to be a pain with the bed against the wall. But you'll do those much less often than you will sit at your desk, so I'd prioritise that space.
B makes way more sense on so many levels, losing bed drawer access is minor compared to how cramped it would be getting to bed in A + weird wasted corner. Just see how you'd feel with the desk being so close to the bedhead in B though, in terms of height difference and how likely you might bang your head against it (but also whether maybe you could use it as a bedside table)
Option B would be my preference. Nice planning, what ap did you use to draw it?
