Picked up some kind of bug or cold from the footy on Saturday. Napped from like 1pm to 10pm Bleh BLEH

Least I was home for the new security system installers. The whole building got upgraded, so instead of an old phone on a receiver stuck to the wall, it's a little intercom device with a video! It feels so fancy!

If this is why my rent is going up to over $2k per month next month though, I'm gonna slap every Coalition PM we've had. Do we have a national database for where the old PMs are buried, lol?

[–] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 0 points 2 days ago

They all have a plaque at the Carlton cemetery so you can slap that

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 0 points 2 days ago

Slap 'em anyway. As a treat

Thanks. It was really good.

That’s awesome. I feel like you guys should try and get to Korea at some point for love of hot pot, Soju, and Karaoke.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 0 points 2 days ago

Why when I can recreate Korea in my own home? Nah just joking. It's definitely on my list of places to do.

Insta must have heard me talking about Minesweeper, and it fed me an ad for Infinite Minesweeper.... Consider me addicted

Forgot to mention it earlier, but there's some happy news. The first purple magnolias have started to bloom along Brunswick Street, and the pear trees outside St Pats Cathedral likewise. The Devil's Candlestick outside the Houses of Parliament are also starting to bloom. Spring is just around the corner.

[–] SituationCake@aussie.zone 0 points 2 days ago

A few flowering plants in my garden have started too, seems at least a few weeks early this year. It’s nice to see the flowers but feel sorry for the climate change.

Look at the forecast monday -> wednesday next week 😢

I felt my nostrils closing up this morning. Looking forward to opening the windows and doors for some fresh air though. You win some, you lose some.

Cheers man. They're offering to move me to Queensland.

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Make them pay. Including re-location expenses for the strays.

They absolutely will be paying my relocation costs.

The strays I'm going to bribe a rescue to take them in.
