  • I planned a friend outing for this evening and honestly I don’t know why I bother. I’ve been getting slow responses during planning, slower than usual, feels like I’m forcing these people to hang out with me. They can say no? Maybe I’m reading too much into this but it’s consistent with other things that have happened recently which make it feel like we’re distancing. Don’t say I didn’t try if these friends aren’t in my life in future. I don’t even want to go anymore.

  • eee found the water leak.

    Wasn't me but the neighbour saw it thank fuck it wasn't under the slab.

  • today at the beach I found a little fish, two pieces of coral and an ear shell

    • Is the inside of the abalone all shiny and nacreous? I love them when they're fresh enough to have all the lovely bluey-greeny-pinky nacre intact.

  • After having it recommended constantly for years, I'm finally reading Lonesome Dove. I do believe it lives up to the hype...

    • Have you seen the fillum of it? This is one of the very few movies I've ever watched through to the very end. They even got the horses right.

      • Lonesome Dove movie was a staple of my childhood, but I don't remember anything about it bar horses and mustaches. Apparently there are sequel movies?

  • I have decided once the lease on the new place is signed I am going to celebrate by buying a new lawn edger, hedge trimmer and the fancy brushless motor for my whipper snipper. I aim to make the garden so neat people assume it's no longer a rental 😁 It also means I'll be able to properly edge my 3m of nature strip here as a parting gift. Hopefully because the edger rests on the ground it won't kill my arms as much as the whipper snipper does. With a much bigger garden to look after (and a 2-strip of concrete driveway, so lots of edges) I anticipate building up lots of muscle. 💪

  • Good morning, in further public holiday brainrot developments I went down the path of reading about Zizians (already vaguely knew about rationalism and MIRI and that insanity). The intelligent mind truly can go to some insane places. What the fuck is this shit

    • just a small tragic cult

      how is it any different to maga and the crazy shit trump has said?

      the only difference is newspapers say that zizians are nuts and belong in jail, papers still pretend trump is a sane leader

  • I'm picking up an armchair for free from Marketplace this morning. Similar style wood frame to my couch, and with a new cover with the same fabric I've been recovering mine in it should blend in fairly well. This will solve an issue in furniture placement in the new place, I will be able to have the couch and a single chair in the dining/lounge, and two chairs in the sewing/sitting room. Or if something goes wrong and I don't end up getting this place I'll have an extra chair I don't have room for 🤣

    I think I'll sell my buffet unit. It's a really good solid piece of furniture that makes me feel like I should find it a place, but it really doesn't fit anywhere. Plus it is really heavy and because it is so long has limited options on where in a house it can go. Which makes it hard to get out too, it has to go out the back and out the side gate, which means I would have to lock away Mr Woof, traumatise Miss Meow and let a stranger into the main area of my house. I might just get the movers to put it in the carport when I move, then I can sell it as unattended pickup.

  • My teeth hurt. Visitors lined up two days in a row. Hoping I can avoid saying something crushingly stupid to the recently bereaved one.

  • Halfway through Animal Kingdom S2 so far. Idk, it's not terrible by far but it's not really gripping my attention much either, I fast forward through all the alpha male stuff. I like Shawn Hatosy though and everyone says he does great in all 5 seasons so I guess I'll keep going

    E: also I'm so over this heat, it's driving me mad. Literally the only silver lining being that there's less acclimatisation needed for my upcoming trip.

    E2: okay wow that scene of Pope and the bible study woman was pretty unexpectedly hot though
