Had a wholesome moment with the cleaning lady that p's get yesterday. She'd be mid 60's chinese. Was pulling some chillies off the tree for her and she came out really enthusiatic asking about it for 10 mins telling me all the different parts of the tree in mandarin lol.

She was trying to haggle me for how many she could have. We went from 30 to 70. I lost but I had nothing that would work against her strategy.

Seeing her light up was great. Sometimes it's the little things.

I do think sharing produce just breaks down every barrier and yesterday reaffirmed that.

Hello, I've been reading about the fediverse as a distraction from looking for a job. Hopefully this is a good place to jump in.

[-] TheWitchofThornbury2@aussie.zone 4 points 3 months ago

Welcome! We're a weird mob but pretty nice at least most of the time. Do you have a cat?

[-] jarrydac@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago

Thank you! I don't, I've got a dog.

[-] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago

Gig is tonight 🎸. Everything packed, prepped and practised. Been feeling more stress than nerves last few days, but I reckon I might actually have fun tonight. That's the goal at least

[-] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 3 months ago

Have a blast mate 🤘

[-] Catfish@aussie.zone 6 points 3 months ago

Do people like June 20 for another go at games meet? It's the day before solstice so I'd probably break out the mini spit and fire a meat.

[-] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 5 points 3 months ago

I'm keen!

I will bring vodka for better or worse.

[-] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 3 months ago

For better or rolling down hills 😜

[-] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 3 months ago

Book it babe!

I am clearly incapable of planning things far in advance 😬 please ask again no sooner than June 13

[-] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago

A loud raspberry in your general direction. Phone, calendar, alert 🐈‍⬛

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 6 points 3 months ago

Since the boys are here to stay, Cerys has decided the appropriate response is to be a Giant Turd. 🎉

[-] TheWitchofThornbury2@aussie.zone 5 points 3 months ago

Have gone home from work. The Snottening has reached Richmond/Thornbury and points between.

[-] TheWitchofThornbury2@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago

I may have packed away the string bikini a bit prematurely

[-] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 3 months ago

Is it one of those one sided ones? Always wondered how they stay on at all

[-] Pilk@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago

So tiny it may dissolve if it actually ever got wet.

[-] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 3 months ago

Pictures of baked beans make poor colouring in pages

[-] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago

Turn them into rainbow beans? Little critters?

[-] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 3 months ago

It was a dream. No idea, I don't like baked beans.

Hahahah His Lordship chose to be the one who got First Big Sleeps with the boys in the bed having access to the larger portion of the house.

Tucked up on the comfy futon couch watching Buffy with Cerys i hear chaos reign outside. Not my circus, not my monkeys.

[-] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Moved to frugal.

TL;DR: Face sunscreens are overpriced and adding way too many actives for marketing reasons to the point of me not being able to use them anymore, old reliables have been reformulated, and trying generic to get a more basic option didn’t work out well either.

FFS. I just want affordable basics that don’t sting or cause reactions.

I should have just bought from the same disliked but tolerable brand while it was half price.

[-] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago

I looked up a survey on choice the other day. I'll see if I can find it for you.

but basically, so many are crap

[-] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah, that’s worrying. I don’t use a lot of products but sunscreen is kind of a necessity and it’s getting so hard to find something that just does the job.

Edit: Am… am I going to be forced to wear a bucket hat next summer? Because broad brimmed hats flap up or sag down, and baseball caps don’t cover your neck or ears
