Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Oooh. First prospective buyer who came through today is very keen and is coming back with his wife Saturday afternoon. AND the house they're renting is being sold so he needs to find a place fast.
Fingers crossed for a good outcome and a good offer!Fuckit! Dear internet, please validate my design choices. https://imgur.com/a/0OQTBxf ID: a partially sewn punk style shirt
It is a lovely morning out there, it made for a very pleasant morning walk. Mr Woof enjoyed himself, and wanted to do all the side quests. Mostly they were quick follow-the-scent quests, but I had to put my foot down when he wanted to follow the shady character in a hoodie, I'm pretty sure that one would open up a long quest chain we just don't have time for.
Note to self: I might be spending too much time playing video games...
I turned the portable heater on, because I'm shivering, and the motor that makes it turn side to side caught fire. Turned it off quicksmart, but I didn't have 'electrical fire' on my bingo card for today.
Serves me right for buying Anko brand shit from Kmart 🤦♀️
Edit: also went to the pharmacy for a medical cert, and the pharmacist gave me original Codral with the 30mg of Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride (instead of what it is now, with 5mg of Phenylephrine Hydrochloride). Noice!
I've found a laundromat near my place which is handy because I can bring stuff here to dry which was a pain to dry before. I could have always driven to one but I never thought to. This one is convenient AND has the most modern payment system I've ever seen at a laundromat which excites me. It's also on the pricier side compared to other places around the world because we get reamed in Australia.
I started a new exercise plan today, this time it's a 30 day fat burner. I think the trouble I had motivating for the last program was that the sessions started out at 8 minutes or so but got progressively longer to about 18 to 20 minutes or so. Which is much harder to carve out of a busy morning. Also my core wasn't very strong to start with and I hate tummy exercises! These ones are more intense and shorter so much easier to fit in. Day 1 completed.
"Jimmy Giggle" is driving my bus again today!
CBFs hitting suuuuper hard today, unsurprisingly. I decided before I start whinging here about what I don't want to do, I'll swallow some small frogs. Lodged a complaint/refund request about my air purifier not arriving so that's one huge headache addressed for now. Rice is cooked for the belated tinned fish celebration. Yay.
Trying to feel better by celebrating the garden...
photos and shit
The snow pea forest is thriving and fruiting, yay! I know it'd be better if they were spaced further apart, but I'm very happy with having found this position and this planter box. Come at me delicious fresh pods!
Lil jasmine plant I bought a year ago has flowered nicely and smells gorgeous - I hope it brings a smile to everyone passing by. Some day when I move I'll have to untwine it and prune off what I can't untwine and hope it survives. I think they're quite resilient, it should be okay?
And finally my rocoto chilli is already (!) putting out new flowers. I suspect it's a little confused. Will need to find a new spot for it when it becomes more reliably warm. Need to harvest the chillos for some experimentation and maybe try and save some seeds??
But also, just as much as I see the good, I also see sooo much maintenance I need to tackle before I head off again in two weeks - repotting, pruning, pulling out dead plants - and I feel blah again even though I normally don't mind doing it and feel productive.
And work... ugh... no... sads...
Of course, my first day off and I can't even sleep in... especially when I stayed up until 3am.
Anyways, hello everyone, I hope you're well!
Jeez today has been a day.
Reminds of a quote my gramps said (in a very thick scottish accent many moons ago). He was a wheat / sheep farmer in WA and ended up looking after pigs for the CSIRO in retirement.
With a straight face "Aye the more I get to know me pigs, the less I like people". I was too young to understand it but it all makes sense now.
Daylight savings fucks with my sleep for at least a week and I'm waking up way too early*
Stressing a bit about work just because there's too much shit going on and feel like I'm just meeting jumping. Probably going to get reamed by management when they get back on Monday for not having enough stuff done although I'm not sure when I was supposed to have the time to do it...
*for me...
I hate how I can’t even sit up for long periods anymore. My body is fucked and it makes it really hard to do hobbies
Think I'm gonna have Fatarse Friday tonight instead of tomorrow, I'm just so exhausted. It was freezing at work today, and for some reason my counting of things was out. I'd count out 65 lasagna trays and then find I'd actually counted 55, that sort of thing. Then I got home and realised I needed to use some nasal spray (I get a lot of sinus trouble, I always have). By about mid afternoon my nose always feels partially blocked. Suddenly I can breathe! Maybe I wasn't getting enough oxygen to my brain lol.
I finally Did The Thing and got through my work emails (vom, blah, urgh, too many feels) And my refund claim for my missing air purifier has been approved. Now I'm trying a listing on mydeal by mydeal themselves, let's pray this works!
That's IT, now I feel like I can relax today... With plenty of nice warm food, fuck this weather right now atgjdhnghjfghhvlgtbkhfnlgg. Gonna catch up on the last 2 eps of OMITB and then maybe finish Good Omens s2! Happy chemicals, come to me...
I just finished that awfully hard puzzle of an Ancient Roman mosaic floor, it took 3.45 hrs 😵 I've done Escher puzzles that were easier
I've had a shot of zzzquil and I've turned the heater on. Imma go ni nighs so hard.
The Powerfeed arrived and so did the watering can. But the watering can has a hole in the neck that sprays stuff everywhere out to the side... every time I buy something there's some issue with it

Crumpets have been made and I had three but I had no butter with them so it's not too bad, eh.

TV series are much more serious if the actors speak slowly. 🤭
( watching "Mars". it drives me goddamn friggen nuts )
Has anyone heard from Lister? I haven’t seen comments from her in a while. Hoping she’s ok.

Just brought tickets to the Asakusa Death Fest \m/ \m/ \m/
