Anyone want an overbearing 7kg cat that refuses to listen, insists on licking your face while clawing your neck, flicks kitty litter everywhere, opens every cupboard that he can, must be involved in everything and is currently nuzzled my fingers while I try to type? Anyone? Please?
Of course I'm not being serious, but he's really A LOT today!
-
He looooooves youuuu!!! Literally!
-
He’s gorgeous! I’ll put my hand up for babysitting duties, lol, I miss having a kitty around. You can just tape up that box and post him.
-
Your name has been registered in the Alfie Approal List, thank you!

This is now cat thread: add cat pics (and other animals) to boost luck by ✨purrty purrcent!✨

Come on 4pm. I'm already done for the day lol
No exciting plans tonight. Been too cold to go out. Just hassle the fluff goblin and maybe get pizza.
-
Was just saying to a colleague that although it's been a short week it feels like it's been 17 days long.
-
-
What a life. Full of treats and brushed to sleep.
-
On the sheet of royal down.

So apparently last night I screamed in my sleep. I didn't know that I did, until I got a call from my dad saying that he couldn't sleep and had to drive into regional Vic at 5am. Maybe it's stress and anxiety, maybe the coffee I had in the morning, but I feel so guilty for waking everyone up when I didn't know what was happening.
-
yo, just in case you weren't aware that was an arsehole response from your father.
You hear a family member scream in the middle of the night you tend to go kicking in doors and if they sleepin', you disrupt that bad dream stat
-
I'm tempted to start another account just so I can upvote this a second time.
I had to read the comment a few times before I could understand it, because a father hearing his daughter screaming in the night and not running in straight away to find out what is wrong and providing comfort just didn't make sense to me. Actually berating her for it is just appalling behaviour.
@LowExperience2368@aussie.zone the only question to ask here is WTF is wrong with your father, you have absolutely no reason to feel guilty.
-
Yep, I agree.
-
-
so many hugs, there must be something awful on your mind to have you scream in your sleep .
I'm sorry your family responded as they did.
In my view the fact this is the fifth time means it's even more concerning, not less. Maybe talk to your psych about it.
-
-
good day today, got lots done , made some stuff, less chaos, more skills,
I can see a tunnel far away, can't see the light yet but I know it's there
🙂
-
Get it, girl!
-

Went to bed in a thin thermal top, this was a good idea, looking at the cold ...
I've been taking melatonin these days to counter the lingering effects of the coffee and small amount of stimulant meds I'm back to taking. My dreams are not as clearly remembered as in the past but they seem to involve family a lot more, and combine them in very very weird ways...
Still really behind on writing although I powered through a heap of readings in one area yesterday. Read all that I really need to. Now there's just one more major area, and one minor area... And then I need to start working on slides and shut. Urgh. Looks like I won't be working much next week.
-
wooo last few feet of the path beaten into submission. That's over half a metric ton (literally, 600kg) road base compacted by hand. Hopefully sunday's rain is rich and fulsome, I'll see if there's any problems or dishes on the new part, correct, then SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND for my pavers
-
That's impressive.
-
-
Fuck it. It's beer o'clock! Cheers to all those who are celebrating something this week and to the DT cake day recipients. 🍺

Cheers 🍺

I’m celebrating work being finally over for the week and that I have nothing on for the weekend. OH has been told if he wants to socialise with people, to do it elsewhere (he’s fine with that, I’m not kicking him out unwillingly)
-
Chill. Relax. Enjoy your night and weekend 👍

baileys for breakfast vegemite toast for second breakfast tide is low, sun is out

Today at the beach I found a red spiky sponge thing.
clear skies again, it's very pretty here

package, yay, I got a new computer mat
-
Nothing got done today. Melbcat and I are being slugs
-
you got rest, recuperation and love done. 🙂🙂🙂
-
Those days are necessary, no matter how often they're needed.
-
-
I go for a walk on the beach and all hell breaks loose in the world
-
Sighs
Checks news
-
-
Hmm. Maybe I won't quickly nip down to the shops now. -
Went out to get something from the car just before 7. It wasn't pleasant.
-
I couldn’t wake up on time this morning. Just wanted to stay under the covers.
Took too long to defrost my windshield!

Whilst I do enjoy a good drive in the countryside, in the dark trying to get home from work is not really the time. I think the GPS was trying to send me the long way around to avoid some traffic, but driving back country roads you don't know in the dark is not fun.
In good news though I had many packages when I got home, including the lost Bunnings parcel that has been spending the last week touring the state. Miss Meow has some new steps, which arrived with a bit of damage but seem to be holding together ok, and she also has a new mat to go in front of the litter trays to help contain her wild litter flinging ways.
I also have a couple of rugs which look fairly lightweight but should be decent enough for occasional use in the garage, a stand to put the toaster oven on, a rolling stand for my computer cpu, and new rollerblade style castors for my office chair. I just need to figure out how to get the old ones off.
-
time to upgrade my phone
I am dreading transferring music, the apps seem to always change my import albums or album extras to standard albums and I lose a lot of good music
-
oops, too much socialising at work and not enough work being done.
Come on motivation!
-
Back home.
I will miss doggo and all his quirks.
I did leave him some bad habits which Aunt will not appreciate.
Also will miss the community vibe in that suburb. Even though I'm literally 1 suburb away, the difference is pretty crazy.
-
-
Fuck yes!
-
-
Woop protest on Sydney road, I think heading into the city. Good luck city dwellers 😬
-
This morning Miniest complained she was cold.. she is fully dressed and has 4 doonas and 3 blankets on the bed! Meanwhile Elder is sleeping in a regular singlet and shorts with a fan blowing on his face and one doona and a blanket in his bed but not on it!
-
After the awful news out of India I decided to revisit a happier ending to a crazy situation and watched Sully. Damn near cried a few times just thinking about the goodness of people compared to what we see in the US today. Now I'm off to go watch some Mayday episodes and feel grateful for my life.
E: also, massive boo to Clint Eastwood and his anti government dickhead views for making the NTSB into some kind of villain, I guess it was just the beginning of the Trump years after all. Which is all the more sad to contrast with 2009, when it actually happened... Can't believe the GFC years feel better than what we have today.
-
That was tragic what happened in India, the fact by some miracle one person survived is somehow out of this world.
What’s Mayday by the way?

Does anyone want to help run the aussie flag on canvas this year (starting July 12th)? I have limted time right now and this year we were going to add aussie pixel art to the flag so it is not just a flag. If anyone could help that would be great, especially with making a post asking for pixel art from the community and adding it over the flag.
To get an image for the flag use
which is 200x100 pixels. Ensure that the pixel art does not cover the stars or union jack.Here is last years template if you want to see it. I will make a new template this year with the pixel art and flag at 200px by 100px.
Bluey pixel art: https://aussie.zone/post/11696592/10403326 and https://diycandy.com/bluey-perler-beads/
To everyone: Feel free to make or find some aussie pixel art and reply, note that it shouldn't be massive tho.
I will probably also post this in tomorrows thread.
-
Post it in the big thread.!australia@aussie.zone
-
I support The Void, and just the black one, not the edge lord one with demon faces in it.
-
-
It isn’t Caturday but here is my feline contribution to ward off bad luck
-
😂😻
-
Okay, I fell for it. And then sent the link to my child to annoy him!
-
-
Melbcat just poked the very tip of her nose out from the doona and promptly disappeared back under
-
Wouldn't blame Melbcat, it's so cold today!
-

I had to work on some spreadsheet stuff this morning. My dock stopped working so a lot of it was done head down on one laptop screen. So now I feel a bit uugh and need longer screen free time than my walk at lunch
-
My monitor stopped working today so I am also using one screen. Shows that I don't know what I've got 'til it's gone.

Have returned to Firefox and it was far less painful of a transition than I thought. After figuring out some video rendering issues (stuttering caused by hardware acceleration, and tearing fixed by setting monitor frame rate to max) there are only upsides so far!
-
I returned to Firefox (after years of using Chrome out of laziness) on my work laptop because of Google's manifestly (ha) stupid decision to block functionality that means uBlock Origin no longer could be installed, which means I had no way of manually adding extra filters to block the garbage AI Overview in el goog search results.
Honestly think I should just switch to Firefox on my personal computer too. I use Iceraven on my phone which is a fork of Firefox, anyway...
-
This is why I returned, though I was using Edge and they haven't set a date yet for ending Manifest V2 support. Figured I'd get ahead of it. The uBO team also say it works best on Firefox too.
-
I use Brave on my phone, because of its inbuilt ad blocker - I can watch YT videos without all the ads before, during, and after the vid lol idk about it's other functionalities however.
-
-
I returned to Firefox a few years ago and haven't looked back. Still as good as ever.
-
-
I haven't read any news in about 4 or so months.
Previously, I was glued every day doomscrolling multiple news sources and subreddits a day.
In a way, it's putting my head in the sand. But to be completely up front, my mental health has benefited significantly.
-
I'm mostly like that now too and yes, it's healthier.
-
-
This might be appropriate today
-
This is the first morning so far I've woken up and thought "it's pretty damn cold".
-
Are you perhaps a polar bear?
-
At least a little yes 🐻❄️
-
-
Icicles on bicycles ❄️
-
-
Anyone can join in. Post your Friday night songs.
-
I don't think I'm a fan of posting a song per comment (instead of nesting them as replies). It's drowning out/pushing down the other activity in here.
-
If people don't like it let me know. I'm cool.
-
-
-
looks at the date 😧
-
Woke up 7 times in 8 hours. Yay...
-
Ok, quick bedding change when Melbcat briefly got up. Quick cycle rewashing of a forgotten load.
When I get up again I’m going to replace the bin bag, throw out the stuff on the bench and empty the litter boxes.
