Banannana planted! Went to add the babaco and found out its somehow gotten fckn wet feet and rotting out. Carved up for sticks, two hormoned and in sand, the rest to try the traditional 'dry a few day's before planting'.

Apart from that, shit day for a shit week

Decided not to have a wild one tonight. Mood was a bit eh for historical reasons, but still go to see my friends which is awesome.

All in all, a really great day.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes, you guys are amazing. You've all been an incredible support during some of the hardest times I've had in recent memory.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart ❤️❤️❤️

Time for some ambient and down tempo music making I think.

Happy birthday!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Great to hear you had a great birthday as well. Sometimes the quieter ones are better

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

That's it man. I did everything I wanted to, and I'll be functional tomorrow.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 hours ago

Okay, for all that I've whinged today, I am pretty damn chuffed with how much I've moved out at short notice on Marketplace. Super happy that a big bench is going tonight. Gone are a whole heap of side tables/plant stands. The elephant in the room is the effing couch. I will have to just move it to my friend's myself and we will problem-solve from there.

It's kind of interesting meeting all these randos who are grateful for a good bargain and they all come with their own little stories. All walks of life, ethnicities, cars, clothes...

Tonight I am playing the groovy sounds of Burt Bacharach. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3Vm2KoPsQE

Ted loves Burt 😻

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Ted might go for the behind but he's a misunderstood audiophile at heart.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

His Master's Voice! Oh god, his furriness is just too good. And of course he would love Burt Bacharach

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

He never goes up to listen or watch and I play records everyday so this is very rare. He is a cool cat. 🐈‍⬛

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

His fluff is glorious!

Today was a big day but the party went great. These council community centres are perfect for parties like this. I could tell things were going well when people didn't start leaving immediately after cake and presents. We just left out some toys and large janga and connect four and all the kids had a great time

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago

That's excellent man ❤️

Summer doona is now on the bed.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago (5 children)

Any other melting pets out there?

Just got back from the late walk. Dog's been huffy for a walk all arvo. Also happened to find what appears to be a baggie of meth. Good thing I grabbed it because a bunch of kids walked by ten minutes later.

Mine is snuggled up to me 🫠

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

Mine are all out in the cat run, even the dog. I'm guessing there is lots of bugs to chase on a warm night.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

Mine is under the couch because it's cooler.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

I dunno where mine are. Up to no good probably. Typical.

Now I need to decide what ice-cream to have…

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Vanilla. With sprinkles and strawberry topping.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Ended up with Black Sticky Rice and Pistachio.

Ice-cream for dinner. Not mad at it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

I had some lemon sorbet and it was delish.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Fucking wow.. I don’t expect anything at Yarraville to be a rager, but this crowd might as well have oxygen tanks.

A great deal of baldness and coffee

I was considering moving there as I have a mate that lives there. He claims it's "hip".

Perhaps not...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Seddon is wonderful, but you’ll need a very solid wallet to buy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Ahhh yeah I've got St Albans income lol

But it might be nice to rent somewhere cool while I save more of a deposit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

People are walking their dogs in the local indoor shopping centre. What even.

Oh it's for pet photos with Santa.

Melbcat is sometimes refusing to eat her wet food which means I have to crush/mix her meds into a syringe, get her in a very gentle headlock and feed it to her directly… not ideal for either of us.

She’s also vitamin B deficient from an absorption difficulty so

injectionsneeds monthly shots at the vet… she should be having them weekly but I’m scared to accidentally hurt her when doing them at home.

 

I know cats go nuts for brewers yeast and Marmite has B12 (I think Vegemite doesn’t) but it’s salty which is bad for her kidneys. So I bought some nutritional yeast and sprinkled a pinch. Yes, she likes it. She ate some of her meal.

She still needs to be wrangled to give the antibiotics directly, same for the anti nausea stuff which she absolutely needs right now. But I’ll remember this for when we can go back to only the normal meds that can just mix into the food.

Have you ever considered a different vet?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

These ones are pretty good and the closest. Why?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

i can't help thinking how the vets here in carlton were just stringing me and Allie along with treatments.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

It’s ok, we’re not being strung along. She’s had some inflammatory issues with her bowel which caused absorption issues, so she’s not absorbing as much as she needs

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Three more cupboards gone! 🎉 Just four more to go. If I don't sell them soon they are going on the naturestrip with a "free" sign on them.

Gosh it’s still really warm out. Leisurely Saturday night bike ride to get dinner got sweaty quick. Expected it to be cooler by now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

Weatherzone predicts its still going to be 26 at midnight.

I’m definitely going to be running at the AC in my bedroom so I can sleep better.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 hours ago (5 children)

I GOT MY CAAAAAAAAR!!!!

I need sleep before tonight lol
