Melbourne

Thanks for checking in on me and standing up for me re the Reddit post, pals.

Rough times over here but everyone’s alive so it can’t be that bad. Miss you! ❤️

This year just keeps giving. Got some bad news at doc today and being sent for scan on Monday. Currently panicking about cancer.

😭😭😭 just got an email from the palaeontologist guy I sponsor on patreon, he was contacted by Make a Wish who asked him if he could take a little kid on a dino dig. The kid just loves dinosaurs. He and the foundation seeded a beach area with bones and megalodon teeth and the little kid had a great time finding them all .

Garden is looking good today, I really should be doing some weeding. Image is a magnolia with a hot pink rhododendron in front on a sunny day

- doggo found the sun

I'm going through all my papers and I found this

I was just browsing r/melbourne and came across u/lemondrop post. Maybe someone can reach out and tell her it's nicer over here.

I hope I did the link right. Lol.

Cheers 🍻 lactators and non-lactators. 🥛

Well Dymocks has now confirmed that the basic contact information has been stolen and published on the dark web.

That might explain the barrage of calls I’ve been getting and ignoring since Monday.

Don’t like that my date of birth is out there now with my name.

I’m not up to running around doing guerrilla gardening myself.

But how cool would it be to seed bomb abandoned lots with native wildflowers for native pollinators? ~~(Not only bees - though they’re important).~~

You can make seed bombs as clay-soil balls, soil bound with flour, dried paper pulp, or soil filled eggshells.

Legality is dubious so check beforehand if you want to do it. And don’t use anything poisonous or invasive.

Edit: Scratch that. This video is saying not to use regular wildflower mixes as some species may be invasive. The natives may be a much better choice until I look at what’s in the bee/butterfly mix

Piedmonte's has $5 choccy mud cakes. Pray for me (and my waistline).

STORM WON!!! Gotta get behind our only Melbourne NRL team, @MELBOURNE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO OR IF YOU CAN TAG A CHANNEL OR WHATEVER IT'S CALLED IN LEMMY

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💜 ⚡ ⚡ ⚡ ⚡

Does anyone hate the media covering the AirBNB levy, through the "your weekend stay is going to be more expensive" angle.

Eh? I planted the spinach seeds 4 days ago and they’re already sprouting. The cat grass took so much longer.

I think I sowed them too thickly as well, should have left room for more staggered plantings. Wasn’t paying attention to what I was doing. The carrots were definitely sown too thickly and will 100% need thinning once they’re up which feels like a waste of good plants.

I might just leave the spinach as is, uproot any that get ratty and reseed the empty spots. Or thin some of them for microgreens. (Might do that for the carrots too as the tops are edible.) It’s possible some will bolt when summer hits unless they’re brought inside.

I really wish I could plant pumpkins and zucchini or tomatoes but cannot take on that much garden

Taking my sun prescriptions right now eating peanut butter toast and having a vanilla latte satchel while listening to a podcast.

Will have to move soon after as my long pre order is ready for pick up and I’ll get a haircut too at the same time and pick up some coffee supplies, hash browns and maybe some fruit juice?

Almost got run over by a fucking mole in an SUV. Wasn't even looking at the street she was turning into and instead at the road ahead.

You're supposed to give way to pedestrians when turning into a street fuckmuppet!

I had to activate my new debit card. I couldn't quite do it on the phone so I called them and I failed the security questions so now I have to go into the branch so they can ID me. I've been flagged. Lol

So I'm going axe throwing tm for a bucks and it was a very confronting waiver.

I don't have a beneficiary or executor :(

Sitting in the company truck while our tradies do the hard work. What a lovely Friday!

Wahhh. Long long day out in the 'Rat using every last drop of my EQ to help smooth out a delicate family situation but it turned out good. I'm just wiped out though. Won't be able to drive back up there again until I buy a car some day but I will NOT miss the Western Highway for a second.

Highlight of the day was this VERY friendly boi. He hates kids but just showers everyone else with tender affection. I love him.

e: also I accidentally drank caffeinated tea way too late this afternoon, help

Decided to take NtccJnr to the beach straight grom school. Best decision. So nice here this arvo.

So theoretically if I made a perfume or cologne that smelled of freshly ground coffee beans would you wear it?

This weather is too nice for productive working. I'm just flapping about and staring out the window today. Going to get some sun soon.

Are we on top of the milk situation yet?

Sooooo I bought some groceries to make a fish sandwich. I nearly accidently ran over my budget doing it and almost didn’t have enough for a haircut after finding out it went up in price by a few dollars.

I however did manage to grab some juice, coffee supplies and magical hash browns. Sadly the price of the hash browns also went up slightly.

Anyway I managed to fit in my haircut and get my food so I can self help myself early though I did have to give up a pack of lollies until next week and now I’m pretty much broke until I get paid next week.

Now starts the rest and I’m well equipped to bunker down and enjoy it all!

Also the hairdresser was pretty chatty. Took an hour to have my hair cut I think and nearly went over the limit for parking! Was a very nice person though so I don’t mind that at all and we had a good chat about things in general.

wimd hits hard..

I pressed snooze, but morning run is a go.

Just tried the tap pressure gauge.

Who wants a kilopascal I have 600 of them eee.

what a rush.

Japchae for dins to celebrate.

Can I just say sometimes Australia Post pleasantly surprises me. I ordered something online on Wednesday (being shipped from Sydney) via standard parcel post. If hasn't arrived yet but it is apparently on board for delivery today!!

Another jigsaw done. 🤗 This one of birds but strangely I did the vegetation first. Also, it only had a tiny instruction picture .

Something funny to me is that out of the 5 weeks I took off work, traveling throughout the US and spending almost 2 weeks in Vegas.. it's the Friday night before I go back to work that I finally get drunk. At home in Melbourne. By myself.
