That's what. ๐ฅฐ
He knows a beautiful soul when he sees one. ๐
Pigeons are my favourite bird, of all the birds. I love their coo-ing sound they make, and how derpy they look.
Plus, Australia has a bunch of native ones. My favourite is the Crested Pigeon - they have little mohawks and squeak when they take off.
Look at these beautiful pigeons! https://www.australiaswonderfulbirds.com.au/pigeons
Look at the superb fruit dove and see the beauty of pigeons lol
I will never forgive the pigeon that stole my whopper junior (with cheese) at fed square at 3am many moons ago. I wasn't in the best state so it wasn't a fair fight.
The resident magpie down here takes them out for sport which I fully support.
Heading back to Melbourne after 10 days in the tropics. Pray for me ๐๐ป
Trampoline park not fun. Awkward with new friend. Wouldn't be surprised if I never hear from him again lol.
I need sleep. Sorry to be a downer.
It can't have been that bad! Surely the trampoline park had its ups and downs.

I don't think they're putting as much carlo in the monty's anymore. There's quite the gap, it used to be all the way to the edge.
I've virtually given up on bought biscuits. They taste like disappointment and cost too damn much for my liking. For years I told myself, "biscuits only seemed bigger when I was little because I was smaller," looking at you Wagon Wheels and Golden Rough. Now I can no longer deny, the shrinkflation and overall stinginess is real. It was literally just a few years ago that I'd buy a couple of packets of biscuits per week on special as a treat for the family. Now each packet, on special, costs what those two packets combined used to, and I'm getting less? I'm going to have a crack at home-made

Went for a random drive in this awful weather (which I quietly love) with no destination and found myself stopping into bingo. I've missed the first 2 sessions but there are still 2 remaining so LESSGOOOOO
They call me the big baller bingo caller. They call me big mack daddy dabber. They call me Nanna's Bane, ender of the elderly.
Is it to early to go to bed?
It looks pretty dark out there must be night soon go ahead

I'm definitely feeling the sleepy vibes today. The green tea is calming me down more than anything... good night.
These have come up very nicely! No abrasives needed, just a damn good oil soak. Their weighting is perfect. Modern tools so oft suck.
I may have overindulged with my grocery shopping today.
I have an odd mixture of stuff and not really a solid plan but needless to say I have a lot of chicken drumsticks and a lot of sausages.
Also bacon prices went up I think. Also getting too expensive to buy :(
ugh, had a nasty nightmare about anxiety. I was packing to travel and husband was impeding me, making me late, making me anxious. I got angry.

Ok that was an incredible sleep lol
Rainy day rule requires me to sit in bed and play games whilst watching SCP videos.
Also if you were into the first A Perfect Circle album, check out Billy Howerdell's solo album from 2022
I've decided to quit vaping. I had to buy a shitty disposable today and it makes my chest hurt compared to the normal refillable ones I usually use.
These things are really fucking bad for your lungs. Way worse than the refillables. I haven't used one before and yeah, they are real bad news especially if you're a teen.
All normal refillable vape shops close tomorrow for good. Leaving only the dodgy black market "convenience stores" selling these terrible disposables.
Another case of a new law doing the opposite of what it should have.
I for one am glad you are quitting outright. It's the best thing for your health and your wallet.
Cheers. I'm going through now and throwing out all the vape shit I've accumulated over the years. Will be nice not to be smoking/vaping anything for the first time since I was 15
Gratitude thread :)
Saw my friend from Sydney last night. She gave me Jesus soap and put some in our friend's shower for shits and gigs.
going to a trampoline park today which hopefully should be fun
my aunt told me she's getting a puppy in two weeks and I'm so excited to meet her
also I found out who the girl was from work yesterday. Turns out she sometimes goes by a different name to what she introduced herself as. I wasn't going insane :D
Worked out that riding my mโcycle to/from work is a great self-regulator, even with getting annoyed in traffic. (Pls no fines this week.)
Great banter with people who get you right off the batโฆ Itโs not often, so I do forget how much it fills my tumbler.
While not invalidating my gripes, I 100% know how good I have it. Not really for want of anything, roof, warmth, bed, friends, acquaintances, privilege of engaging in most desires and hobbies and a little bit of work if I want that little bit more. Canโt have it all (right now?), but what I have I am entirely grateful for. Even when Iโm being a brat.
husband's folks are coming for dinner, I checked with him, i called them "your folks" , first time I ever called them that. Thing is they treat me like crap, always have, they truly are not my folks
treat me like crap
Get them to do the washing up, sit there silence judging them :) With your eyes "that's not where that goes".
I will do it, they break things accidentally on purpose. Also, after that I can just ignore them and do some embroidery. Tired of entertaining them.
Oh wow. Thatโs unreal that they break things on purpose.
Iโd never have them over for dinner in that case. Sounds like itโs just going to be an unpleasant time.
I totally forgot The Bear s3 is out now. I hear it's not as great as the first two seasons as it was filmed alongside s4 so it feels more drawn out, but that's fine by me because holy hell the first two seasons were so intense I felt like I needed two weeks and a few therapy sessions to recover.
Time to get the fried rice out and fire up Stremio.
I like dogs but the fact is I'm allergic to them. And my allergies to cats are exponentially worse.
For some reason I've been blessed with a hyperactive immune system. Spring as you can imagine is a real bitch. But I must say my symptoms are not nearly as bad now as they were when I was a kid.
Poor fella.
A kick after the siren to win it for the Swans and completely shanks it for a no score.
Anyone got any of that rain that was supposed to be bucketing down on us this morning? Dry as a bone outside, I see the forecast was reviewed to "late morning"... Looks like most of it's gonna fall into the bay :/
E: looks like it mostly hit the southeast. Been fairly unimpressive in the inner north east. Great morning to be in under the covers though...
E2: I rolled outta bed at 11:30 and am most pleased to see that the winds blew the rain onto the balcony for once (usually it's in the other direction and my pots are bone dry despite a dumping of rain). The purple tatsoi has been slow to kick off especially with some rude thing nibbling at it, but it seems to be going somewhere!
It's the grand opening of the new dinosaur exhibition at the museum this weekend.
One of my boys is a bit scared of dinosaurs but we'll check it out anyway. He can join the dino dance at the end if he needs to get away from things
have the lotr music albums on blast while i do housework and cooking
tis awesome
my poor neighbours
