Bot appears to be napping, so today’s thread is brought to you by the colour thirteen, the number puce, and the total fabulousness of the Numbat

CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 4•1 year agoPAKIDGE was a close contender. So was “I went to bunnings…”

bananafungus ( @bananafungus@aussie.zone ) 11•1 year agoJust did the weekly shop, and jesus fuck! At this point I’m seeing a $20-$40 per week increase, and that’s with substitutions for lower priced items or just plain going without.
I feel like I’m going insane when I see an item I bought a week ago suddenly double the price.
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 9•1 year agoWoolies understands. They want you to spend less. 😡
melbaboutown ( @melbaboutown@aussie.zone ) 6•1 year agoI’d spend less if it wasn’t difficult for me to get to the got dang Aldi
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 5•1 year agoThey are looking into home delivery but it won’t be for awhile.
melbaboutown ( @melbaboutown@aussie.zone ) 3•1 year agoThat’s amazing news.
Thornburywitch ( @Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ) English10•1 year agoI vote for this December as Numbat Appreciation Month. Moah numbats! Numbats everywhere! On every street corner! Roaming packs of numbats invading our parks and gardens. Enough numbats for everybody.
dumblederp ( @dumblederp@aussie.zone ) 7•1 year agoIt looks like yesterday was Numbat day. https://www.australianenvironmentaleducation.com.au/australian-animals/numbat-maze/
Nath ( @Nath@aussie.zone ) 6•1 year agoI’m very happy that Numbats are actually known outside WA. there was a point where there were fewer than 1,000 left. Conservation programs have been very successful though, and while I don’t know current numbers, I remember the celebration when they estimated there were over 2,000 now.
SituationCake ( @SituationCake@aussie.zone ) 7•1 year agoThe Numbats are adorable. That is all.
underwatermagpies ( @underwatermagpies@aussie.zone ) 4•1 year agoI would like a small numbat posse for Christmas please. I’ve been good.
Seagoon_ ( @Seagoon_@aussie.zone ) 4•1 year agoI love them.
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 7•1 year agoNight shift’s over for the bats. It’s now day shift for the lorikeets.
Thornburywitch ( @Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ) English6•1 year agoBot clearly got into the decaf batteries. Numbats are just too adorable for their own good. Their little noses …
Rusty Raven ( @RustyRaven@aussie.zone ) 4•1 year agoBot really does not like weekends. I really need to organise the bootcamp and new office space I’m planning to try to get Bot to shape up and act a bit more professionally. I have two assignments due this week, and then I only have one subject still going so will hopefully be able to find more time.
TuxOfStars ( @TuxOfStars@beehaw.org ) English5•1 year agoOhh two days of 30 degrees coming up after all this rain. It’s gonna be STEAMY
Seagoon_ ( @Seagoon_@aussie.zone ) 5•1 year agoTed is meowing like he’s dying.
He can see Bill eating dinner through the glass door and Ted wants it. Ted hasn’t even finish his own dinner yet
calhoon2005 ( @calhoon2005@aussie.zone ) 5•1 year agoTree up, time-lapse completed, front garden tree bow done. Added a blow up Christmas elf and pig to the front garden this year. Kids loved it. Multiple people commented on the walk past. Feels good man.
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 3•1 year agoA Christmas pig? I need a pic please.

Bacon ( @baconmash@aussie.zone ) 4•1 year ago🥃
when you are drunk and asleep you are not procrastinating
Rusty Raven ( @RustyRaven@aussie.zone ) 4•1 year agoGreat idea! As an added bonus I will probably get fired for drinking at work, which means I will have more time to do everything in, a win-win situation!
Thornburywitch ( @Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ) English3•1 year agoA buffet of small invertebrates served with delicious sauces as appropriate for the species and some baguette. I am undecided about whether to choose coffee or tea, so maybe chai would be appropriate. This unexpected sunshine is doing my head in.

melbaboutown ( @melbaboutown@aussie.zone ) 4•1 year agoI’ve bought the 2024 planner and made sure it was a week to view with a task list at the side. (Lost the old one and am using one with a format that doesn’t work well for me.) That’s what has always worked for me, hopefully that corrals some of the stuff rattling around in my brain and helps me keep on top of things again.
And a new wallet because my old one broke - my cards are currently floating around in my bag and my Medicare care is… somewhere.
My finger slipped on a portable table easel and a drawing mannikin to make free postage. 🤫 It’s Xmas. I’ve been eyeing them off and I’ve found that propping the paper up helps a bit. The ebay lap desk I have is honestly more suited to using my laptop, and kind of awkward.
PeelerSheila ( @PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ) 3•1 year agoI like the sound of your planner. I find that getting something to work for the whole family is tough… a series of personal digital calendars on different devices all synced is edgy and modern but just doesn’t work well for some of us. The best thing seems to actually be an old-fashioned calendar with really big squares, but there’s nowhere to list important weekly tasks. I’m glad you’ve found a solution!
melbaboutown ( @melbaboutown@aussie.zone ) 2•1 year agoYeah, sometimes I don’t know which day I’ll be able to complete a task and get bogged down deciding where to put it. So it helps to just get a week-to-view with the to do list and dump them all on the side so you can easily see the jobs for the whole week and do them as able.
I have a magnetic chore chart on the fridge just for important daily tasks that repetition can blur (ie. marking off the cat’s meds twice a day, tracking her toilet schedule, any daily medication or self care I need) and there is a space at the bottom and top for a couple of weekly tasks, or notes, or reminders. But it is quite a small one and for an individual.
fullkitwanker ( @fullkitwanker@aussie.zone ) 4•1 year agoRoom update. Bed and mattress secured. Ended up going plan A because the bed comes with a headboard which either needs wall support or mounted to a wall (so couldn’t place it against the mirror). Very less space between desk and bed and a bit of wasted space in the corner but I shall downsize the desk and get something smaller. Now to pimp
my room.

Bottom_racer ( @Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ) 4•1 year agoTHAT MAKES YOU BESTIES
fullkitwanker ( @fullkitwanker@aussie.zone ) 4•1 year agoNow we are besties

Bacon ( @baconmash@aussie.zone ) 2•1 year agowe besties!!
Llabyrinthine ( @Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone ) 4•1 year agoSpent part of my morning watching video recaps of people who died caving. That Nutty, Putty or whatever that place is, the horror of that story gave me such a visceral reaction compared other awful stories. So horrible.
But of course I am stupid and will watch others.
Hit the Design Market, but didn’t buy anything and weird weather, but I’ll take it. Beyotch that rode my ass in your Audi SUV may you get the runs at Xmas. Have made it to a late lunch and will enjoy my two-wheeled cruise after.
Hope you’re enjoying your Sunday!
There’s this climbing gym down south called Bayside Rocks with a cool little caving simulation area. Two or three tunnels you can try out. Barely big enough to squeeze your body through and pitch black. It’s pretty freaky to try.
Llabyrinthine ( @Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone ) 3•1 year agoI haven’t had any fully claustrophobic experiences in a long time. I think there was only one when I was a child and I noped out very quickly.
It’s weird. I don’t mind weight, contorting or manoeuvring must have an escape hatch. I don’t know. Maybe it’s calculated risk, but I could literally feel anxiety and panic just listening to it. Ugh, usually I find I have this kind of distance listening to this stuff, but tight caves… Eeek.
melbaboutown ( @melbaboutown@aussie.zone ) 3•1 year agoI had completely put Nutty Putty out of my mind until now. Thank you, even the memory of reading that is horrific.
Time to concentrate very hard on something else.
Llabyrinthine ( @Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone ) 2•1 year ago😳 I’m sorry!
melbaboutown ( @melbaboutown@aussie.zone ) 1•1 year agoIt’s all good! I have a vivid imagination
