Caught up with friends but buses replacing trains really marred the experience

Annoying neighbours have installed a wind chime. This means war.

Yes. Fight the good fight.

I don't want the ptv app to plan my trip, I want a pocket database where I can select a route and see the timetable. Boo.

[โ€“] stib@aus.social 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

@SaneMartigan
If you go to the "search" tab, you can search for a route and see a timetable for each stop
@YarraByte

Every night my cat sleeps in the human bed and every morning receives breakfast in bed. Now sheโ€™s washing herself.

Iโ€™m coming back as a loved elderly cat

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 9 months ago

You are loved now. ๐Ÿ’–

Xmas dinner went well. We got a bonus and a healthy Westfield giftcard!!!!!

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 9 months ago

Awesome. Sounds like a good company to work for. ๐Ÿ™‚

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Waffles for breakfast. 5/5 yums, would waffle again.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

yum

How do you have them? ( I have mine warm and plain with coffee )

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

These ones were with some sweetened vanilla yoghurt and drizzled with maple syrup. I often do caramalised apple or banana with yoghurt too.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 9 months ago

delicious ๐Ÿคค

Today at the beach I found a piece of a Spartan sample banknote. Oddest find ever, but ever so interesting. First, how did it get on the beach? Spartan is an Australian anti-counterfeit banknote company.

I knew it was a "banknote" but a denomination of 8 is just weird. Tho USSR used to have a 3 ruble note so ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

I've got a Polish bank note from a secondhand book. It's worth something like 5c.

I am apparently on the University of Tasmania 'Roll of Excellence' for my results in the Diploma of Sustainable Living. I did not know such a thing existed and doubt it will have any impact on anything, but I guess it's a nice thing to know.

Ughโ€ฆ exhaustion nap. Today really sucked anxiety wise and taking Melbcat out in the yard always flares it up afterwards. Iโ€™m just trying to spoil her

Cancerbecause of her surgery in January. Itโ€™s minor, biopsy and removal of surface level cancer on her nose and lip, but Iโ€™m afraid about the general anaesthetic at her age and whether itโ€™s spread.

Also kicking myself for not dropping my email or number to people on Fb. It might be too late now. I put it off because.. I donโ€™t know.

[โ€“] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Spoil yo cat.

There was one time we gave my aunt's dog way too many treats because he was terminal and would refuse everything else except for those treats. I hope melbcat is okay though.

[โ€“] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 0 points 9 months ago

Thanks. Hopefully she will be, as long as sheโ€™s in stable health they seem confident to handle it. Iโ€™m trying to be optimistic. But you do worry when itโ€™s your pet.

Sheโ€™s getting free flowing treats too as always
