Hello peeps

How goes it?

Edit: love you all, thanks for the welcomes! Have a photo of the cat that comes to visit me sometimes, most recently a few days ago!

Hi Baku welcome back! ๐Ÿค—

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

Hellooo ~~(Frank Walker from national tiles)~~ forcey! How goes it?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Good to see you back. You missed strawberry day, but are just in time for golden syrup pudding ๐Ÿฎ

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

THERE'S A STRAWBERRY DAY AND I MISSED IT??!?!?!?

(Maybe for the best. I forgot that I garden, and let my strawberries die, and went from a dense forest planter box of dozens down to 2 green sprouts I'm not entirely sure aren't weeds. I'm a fraud)

It's great to see you back here. It must mean things are going well again

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Cheers Tom! Things are going better, I've been seeing a psych regularly, and am moving out next month. A little spooky, but it'll be nice to be like... A proper tenant with rights and all that fun stuff. The only downside is power companies are confusing, and I'll have bills

You're back! Fucking grouse man! This is such a tight little group, you know some people miss you when you're not here. I had to look at trains because you weren't here. I mean, I look at them anyway, but I thought of you and wondered if you were also train enjoying. Well, were you?

Edit; had alcoholic ginger beer at a park near a train station, sorry for effusive language. I'm ok.

Ay thanks!

Actually, no, not really. I caught a train home on Halloween (after a bit of a tiki tour around on the trams), but that's about it

I'm heading off on vacay next week, so I'll have plenty of time to catch trains then

Even plotting a trip to the railway museum, if they decide to be open

Always! Remindns me, a few days after taking my break from here, I went down to Willys prom (one of the few places I hadn't been). Saw the cutest baby emus. So cute! I almost want one

BABI:

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

So cute! Did you camp down there?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

No camping from me, unfortunately I don't even know how to, but it was still a cool trip. On top of the cute emus, there was also a cute parrot (?) with zero fear response trying to steal my chips. It kept landing on the table and walking up to my chippies, and every time I tried to shoo it away, it would hop back a step then just stand at me like "what're you gonna do? Hit me??"

The criminal wannabe chip thief in question:

I was worried about you, mate. Iโ€™m so glad to see you pop back up

hey Baku. Nice seeing you. ๐Ÿ™‚

Hope you are doing well. ๐Ÿค—

Goonsy! Thanks! You as well!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I'm also BakuToo now, I'm not sure if I'll switch back to AZ yet, or stay on my SJW account, but just know I'm a real Baku, too!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

Confirmed, this is me

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago

Hey Baku.

Yay Baku's back, alright!

Good! Well a bit stressy but good. How are you friend?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Do I need to prescribe an hour's off peak train travel? Trains fix everything :)

(Unless the trains are broken or otherwise turned into buses)

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

Haha my train home was delayed by 20 mins tonight in fact. But sitting in the sun waiting was also nice.๐Ÿ˜Ž

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Welcome back!!!! How are you going?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

GDAAAAAYYYYYYY

I'm alright! Keeping busy-ish, you know how it is

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Hey Baku. Good to hear from you! I'm good thank you. Yourself?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Great to hear/see (read?) you CEO! I'm doing better these days :)

Baku ๐Ÿ˜ฎ, is that really you?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe ๐Ÿ˜ถ

What's happening in the land of the llabsy?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Welcome back! โœจ

Just the usual: hanging out in DDT with the DDT fam, whinging about the weather and trying not to be lazy.

How about you? What have you been up to? Been on any trips?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

Cheers llabs, not many trips from me, although I did head down to Willy's prom last month, and am heading to Adelaide next month
