Hello I am new to lemmy!

Hambam has had enough.

Took him to the dog park at 9am so not hot it's now 3pm and he's been in this state since we got back trying to find new patches of cold floor. Threw 3 balls chased them well enough, then he wandered off chasing another dog so had to go get him, twice (he doesn't care if you call him back, just in his own world). All up about a 3km walk. Intensity of the walk out of 10 would be a 1.

I love him.

He's hopeless.

He gets a lot of compliments.

But he's hopeless.

Heart of gold so he deserves a good life.

hey, fellow kids. Been a while. How are we all? I see we are all making serious food decisions...

I'm making a cherry tart to take to my sister's place for dinner tonight. It uses 1kg of cherries, but I still have tons left in the freezer. How one little tree so badly attacked by cherry slugs that every year I expect it to die can produce such abundance I do not know.

Realised that not only I didn't leave the house today....I barely left the couch.

In other news Yakuza pirates of Hawaii is fun as heck

Finally found a gap in the packing/unpacking/cleaning schedule to redye my hair. Feel a zillion times better for not being a faded out drab! The grey eyebrow bits still have much to answer for.

I'm stuffed being out late arvo/evening, saw a movie with some of my favourite people! I have much to ponder, the movie was extremely awesome and thought-provoking!

I have a big day with the fam tomorrow in the SE. Gonna give dad those photos for him to scan with his scanner. He was stoked! He just forgot to reply and I so overreacted 😅 so it will be good to try and date the photos with him, based on my age, and location!

I keep refreshing the BOM app thinking 29.3C at 11pm must be an error :| fuck me. So grateful for air-conditioning.

Really glad I took a break from fieldwork today, just chilling at home all day - although I'll have to go out during midday again tomorrow - and then a full day of work fieldwork on Tues and Wed 🥵

About to have some vegemite toast and now I'm trying to count how many decisions I'm about to make.

My cherry tart is complete, now I just have to work out how to get it safely to my sister's place. I'm also not sure if it is going to be safe to take it out of the tin - the filling rose a bit high and has stuck to the sides a bit, trying to remove it could lead to a total collapse. At least the jar of vanilla custard should be stress free.

Last bougie breakfast for the hams today. Kibble w/ egg and basil topped with some parmesan lol. Actually ate the basil.

Probably the most polite dog I've met with food. Set it down in front of him and he just stands there for a minute looking at you wondering what the catch is.

Here he is wondering if there are seconds (hopefully vid works this time):

Thank you Brion

Good Night everyone. Sweet dreams. 😘

At last! A diet/nutrition article that talks about the 'burden of decision making' in the context of diet. One of my pet peeves is that this aspect isn't given enough weight.

worth a read whatever diet you're on or not on

I'm so, so fucking glad I have air con tonight.

I have Done Moomba.

A couple of rides, watched the Birdman Rally, watched some wakeboarding, ate some ice cream…I’ve had a lovely time, but am ready to not move for the rest of the day

Happy 2nd Saturday guys.

Anyone seen the Me We campaign going around? I'm very glad to see campaigns like this, and the consent one going around. Yeah we can't control other people's behaviour, but if some of society get exposed to campaigns like this, hopefully one day it will diffuse to people who are harder to reach.

I think there should be a more aggressive campaign to do with sun safety. Plenty of people around me are still glamorising tanning, and I still have gotten a couple of sunburns from being outside and forgetting to apply sunscreen.

Today I am aiming at packing ten boxes and staying cool.

Got the storage wall of the garage twintrack up yesterday, today was moving the bench we salvaged from the laundry, putting the doors back on and stocking tools.

Was. I very rapidly realised i was hot, pissed off and very very overloaded. So i went full ASD and grabbed my giant crate of screw packets and tubs and sorted sorted sorted while blasting DS9 in the lounge. Did i wash my hands way more than i "should"? Yes, but fuck should, today was about pandering to me.

And now it is brie and fat cats and ds9 s4. So there

Wow. Passed out so well on that nap I legit thought I had slept through till morning. Super strange dreams. Trying the get harrison ford to his plane but he was having a heart attack and simultaneously missing my own plane and being yelled at and also trying to figure out work stuff. Ugh. I am glad my brain got whatever that was out of its system but I am not a fan of being kidnapped into a 3 hour sleep while it worked.

Had a beach day yesterday after barely going all summer. Sand, sun and ocean waves fix all problems. Also perfect temp yesterday and barely any breeze. And caught this amazing sunset. Followed by best sleep I’ve had in weeks.

I want to go again today. Wish ocean was closer.

The stupidly heavy antique drill press has been sold and is on it's way to a new home. 😁

Decluttering is getting more and more complete every day - the prospect of moving house definitly help, it's amazing how many "maybe" items turn into a hard no when faced with the prospect of packing and moving them.

More weekend tomorrow!!

It's past my bedtime and I'm only just heading home 🥱🥱🥱 it's so busy in the city. Don't these people like their homes and their beds?

The gym is kicking my ass big time.

Just had another 12 hour sleep. It's great in a way because I know it's working.

It's just a bit intense.

Edit: just went for an hour walk and yeah. Don't go outside if you can avoid it lol

Fucked up last night and got boba with a friend. My body must be extremely sensitive to caffeine, or I just drank it too late because I couldn't sleep until 3am last night despite waking up at 7am yesterday. Was supposed to do some uni work and go down to the beach with the fam, but my head is pounding. Going to take it kind of easy and hopefully get my work done. Not going to let this ruin my day.

mickey 17 is a lot of fun

Cheers Cobbers 🍺

Well I woke up Sunday morning, with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt

35/50

Just had a look at windy.com - there's a nice little batch of rain headed our way. Which the garden sorely needs.
