Helping bro and SIL move confirmed they are entitled brats.

Anyway Bboi Butters stepped up to the plate and attacked his cactus.

It's a cosy 24C in here, and I have a book and plenty of tea. Seems like pretty great weather to me.

and a new and exciting flavour of gozleme

Big day today!

Have some errands to run and hopefully have these songs learnt for Monday rehearsal.

Getting exciting now! I miss playing on stage. It's such a great vibe!

Edit: No errands, too cold and wet. Staying home and learning the songs and feeding Gibson treats.

The nest has been refreshed. I'm so fucking glad she just likes to sit in it and sleep. Things could be a lot worse.

[โ€“] Eagle@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She has a great resting bitch face!

Yea we good. Just roped in to help bro and SIL move. I don't like them but they have a nice cat. Just being dramatic :)

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 10 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Made catnip tea for my Overlord, and I think he is quite pleased with the results.

First trip to Aldi. It's like being in an uncanny valley supermarket.

I ended up walking up and down the aisles for a while.

Was really cheap for the stuff I need. So score!

Now it's time for my monthly uber eats. I think a hsp would go down a treat.

[โ€“] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think part of it is they don't play any music. It makes sense as they don't need to pay royalties then. And their checkout people get to sit in chairs so they don't need to take breaks.

Once you realise everything about Aldi is doing things as cheaply as possible it all starts to make sense

Not having music was kind of nice tbh.

If you're a coffee person, ALDI beans are the best value for money out there.

I have to stay away from the European biscuits section.

Work up way too early and couldn't get back to sleep so put on my big girl pants and went out to do the errands.
Aldi run done, cat litter and replacement gas cylinder for the soda King bought, replacement water jug filters and one of the Kmart Stanley mugs bought since I damaged the other one. Also filled up the car at the cheap petrol place on Kingston road.
Now back home and snuggled up with Sammi. Hoping to get a nap in but one of the neighbors has just started hammering so...

I have yet to buy something at Aldi. Fuck it, there's one near me. Maybe I need a tent with my groceries.

Signing to No Sleep Club again.

As soon as I don't have responsibilities, I apparently go overdrive on the sleep revenge. Must try to pull and all night and day, and hopefully crash at a reasonable time tomorrow - or take light naps.

Been avoiding sleep, but I shouldn't. It isn't healthy and I know it ugh

Morning. Iโ€™m heading to the market briefly before the weather goes madโ€ฆcan I get anything for anyone?

[โ€“] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago

I hope you bought enough donuts.

Hot jam doughnut please, and some bananas. I am minded to make choc filled bbq bananas today. To keep the cold out.

Hot jam donut for me, please :-)

[โ€“] Pilk@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

I heard this is where I request donuts?

[โ€“] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

Hot jam doughnuts also please

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Two please.

Plus some thai chicken sausages

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago

Good night everyone.

may all of you who have been feeling a bit unwell feel better on the morrow ๐Ÿ˜˜

[โ€“] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Crash napped and woke in the night.

Yesterday was the specialist, Melbcat seems to have kicked the uti! Unfortunately thereโ€™s not much to be done to prevent them happening. She also will be getting B12 shots. The specialist is happy with how sheโ€™s being cared for and has given the green light for many treats.

Iโ€™m finding the Dove beauty bar a bit drying so I might relax a bit on the frugality/minimalism and get a basic creamy cleanser. Itโ€™s enough to know I can go bare minimum if I ever need to

[โ€“] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have like, four loads of washing to fold. I donโ€™t want to

Is it hailing elsewhere in Melbourne? Looked like white Christmas for a few minutes.

I know it's a waste of time to argue on the internet, but sometimes it's the only thing keeping my brain sharp, you know?

If I gently point out someone may need to rethink their position, and they decide I was actually just personally attacking them and they come for me, I literally crack my knuckles and go in. Nuclear.

What else am I supposed to do on a cold Saturday afternoon?

JD Vance is proof that extraterrestrial life does, in fact, walk amongst us on Earth

I figure he's actually AI generated. Catch the donald permitting a real person as VP who might possibly upstage him - for all the wrong reasons.
