Morning dudes

I’m very happy to see a casualUK replacement for the suddenly redditless. I literally signed up to Lemmy about 10 minutes ago so I’m still feeling this thing out!

I’m looking forward to arguing about crisps with you all 🙃

Hi. I had first in-person meet up with my new friend I made on an app yesterday. I just moved to this country so I was (am?) in need of new friends. Making friends as an adult is freaking hard but it's really rewarding once you actually connect with someone.

I must have clicked on RIF about twenty times yesterday as I kept forgetting it's gone forever - everyone I have spoken to IRL seems to use the official Reddit app (which was even more of a shock), so I think this Reddit play is going to work exactly as intended

(P.s. fuck Spez)

Off for burgers at lunchtime with #1 child, can't wait. Have to take a month's worth of garden waste to the tip this morning as they're striking and not collecting. Going to have to try to get a full wheelie bin in the car...

Just chiming in to note another Reddit migrator. If you are on iOS, the Memmy and mlem apps are very good and improving rapidly.

I ate too much pizza yesterday and stayed up until 2am gaming.

I am going to spend today designing watch faces for my new eInk watch. This will be a challenge as I'm a terrible artist and an even worse C++ programmer.

Luckily ChatGPT is slightly better than me 😀

Hi, I'm new here. Another reddit refugee. I used to use sync and now am waiting for sync for lemmy. Long live sync!

I'm having a mostly quiet Sunday. My sister and her sons are visiting from the states. It's been pretty full on with them here. They're visiting Osborne house today (her older son is a big fan of Queen Victoria - go figure) and I've ducked out and am playing zelda and listening to music.

Morning. I have one heck of a migraine today. Like a hangover, only I didn't drink anything last night.

This feels like a good time to remind people that Lemmy does have a dark mode. You can enable it by clicking on your name in the top-right, then Settings, then scrolling down to theme and choosing "darkly" or something like it.

Hmm, interesting more comments on this thread than the other place
I've got a dodgy calf muscle, but hoping a walk will be good for it and loosen it up. It better not go the other way and cripple me.
Tis windy!

Good morning. I was demolishing a floor yesterday and my muscles are expressing their unhappiness in no uncertain terms. I should have stretched properly but the beer after hard work was just too tempting.

Morning all! Still getting to grips with Lemmy and the various communities around the fediverse, but enjoying it all so far!

Not sure what's on the docket for the day, most likely a snall bit of tidying up around the flat, but do know I've got a sausage cassarole to prep for tea so that should be a good treat to look forward to!

Cwtching on the sofa watching postman pat with my little boy…. Considering getting a second coffee but the kitchen seems far away.

Not a bad casual Sunday morning so far

Morning! Early start today, off to south London to see a potential new buddy for our 3yr old Siamese boy. His Savannah brother from another mother has been missing for a few weeks and it's not looking hopeful that he'll be coming back.

I'm completely heartbroken 💔 but Frank's so unhappy, missing his friend in fuckery.

We're going to see a nearly 2yr old Abyssinian, looking for a new home as his staff are having to relocate to Singapore and can't take him with them - even if they could, he'd be going from central London (albeit with a park over the road) to a high rise flat in Singapore.

They're looking for a rural space for him, which we can definitely provide.

I just hope we're doing the right thing.

Hi folks, great to see you all here!

Morning all

Completely stuck on the game Dude Where Is My Beer. It'll be today's challenge!

Also a Reddit exodus-er from the first blackout. Shame to see the third party app I use finally die.

Morning! Still getting to grips with the shift to Lemmy from Reddit but a week in I'm feeling much more at home. It took a while to find an app that felt like a good fit, but WefWef seems to be fitting the bill very nicely.

This morning is recovery after pizza and 80s movie night with friends.

Good morning, bit hungover poor grandma next door crappy daughter just left her kids in the playground and shouted at her mum to look after them for a couple of hours, waking the whole street up...

I'm sitting here in my daughter's room, while she had an absolute banger of a meltdown. But upside is I'm taking the time to research what it would take to self-host my own Lemmy instance. I like the idea of my own personal instance that I can then federate through, rather than my account being tied to someone else's instance.

So glad to see one of my fav communities moving over to lemmy

Oooh it's nice to see this place getting some users finally. I've been here since the black outs.

In the time in between I've been learning to rubiks cube with my Reddit time and have now managed a solve in under 5 minutes.

Just rolled out of bed with achey legs because I went to the gym for an hour yesterday and then a run of a single mile. Turns out that's enough for my aging body to seize up.

Had a busy day yesterday and my knees aren't thanking me for going for a run. Think I'll make use of the balcony I jet washed yesterday to get my moneys worth.

Had some friends round last night. Watched the boxing and got drunk. Went to bed about 2am. Cat woke me up about 7 demanding food! Meows louder than an air raid siren. Climbed back in to bed now and browsing Lemmy. Been a busy week so just catching up with the latest posts.

We've had quite a few busy weekends recently which I felt bad about so yesterday I done a day of things the kids wanted to do, then swimming with them later this morning. They're having a great time, while I'm completely shattered!

Recovering after spending the day at St Pauls Carnival (Bristol) yesterday. I was out most of the day and into the evening. By the end there were rivers of piss running down the roads. It was a good day but I don't envy those tasked with the clean-up.

I had my ear plugs in and it was still super loud when near the sound systems. Some were great, some had so much bass it drowned out everything else. I don't understand how people can stand right next to the speakers (well.. I assume drugs).

Not sure what to do today, although I think dinner is going to involve jacket spuds.
