Well in some cruel twist of fate I found out that my grandma is declining and probably wont last much longer as she’s stopped eating and drinking.
I did a rat last night and today. It’s a requirement for visiting a nursing home.
Last night negative, today this evening positive.
Explains why I’m feeling rubbish but I won’t be able to see my grandma. Maybe for the last time as well.

That’s really rough.
My thoughts too are with you.

The spoiler didn’t work. You need to type something after the word spoiler for it to display.
- Rusty Raven ( @RustyRaven@aussie.zone ) 1•11 months ago
Very nice looking fellow, great fashion sense.

There’s something about a sunny day which makes a sujuk and tasty cheese gozleme irresistible to me
- SpinMeAround ( @SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ) 7•11 months ago
Pretty sure that should be marked as NSFW, that looks so fucking good 🤤
- StudSpud The Starchy ( @StudChud@aussie.zone ) English3•11 months ago
Makes me want to get some after work! Dayum!
- Bottom_racer ( @Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ) 11•11 months ago
Hooray I’m looking after Hambam the border collie himbo in a few weeks for a few days.
I thought I was getting the cold shoulder from my aunt (himbos owner) because I fed it all the wrong foodz. Not the case so don’t worry hambam eye fillet on pasta with a sprinkle of parmesan is still on the menu.
Wonder if he remembers me…
- bananafungus ( @bananafungus@aussie.zone ) 10•11 months ago
I’ve done it! I’ve completed my first week and I managed to attend my first meeting without making a tit of myself.
This weekend I die, and by die I mean sleep for like 48hrs straight.
- just_kitten ( @just_kitten@aussie.zone ) 10•11 months ago
Ah, I see we are now allowed to name the high profile man in the Toowoomba rape case. Oh, his poor mental health.
- CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 9•11 months ago
Hey buddies. Happy Friday. What’s your plans tonight?
- just_kitten ( @just_kitten@aussie.zone ) 7•11 months ago
I’m three hours behind, but in three hours my brother arrives, and he will probably nearly die from the heat and humidity, so we will celebrate by turning on the air conditioning in the living room for him.
- CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 5•11 months ago
And a nice cold drink I hope.
- just_kitten ( @just_kitten@aussie.zone ) 5•11 months ago
No booze in my mum’s house unfortunately. But a nice tall glass of coconut water, definitely
- CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 4•11 months ago
Anything icy cold. It doesn’t matter what.
- Duenan ( @Duenan@aussie.zone ) 3•11 months ago
Hey CEO. Guess you and I are doing things together.
Today I tested positive to covid, fun times!
- CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 3•11 months ago
Oh mate. That’s not good to hear. Stay strong. If I watch the cricket, I’ll keep you updated.
- Duenan ( @Duenan@aussie.zone ) 2•11 months ago
Thanks. I’m fatigued. Little bit achey and have a sore throat with a drip. Maybe fever as well.
How are you holding up?
- CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 2•11 months ago
I’m alright. Nights are the worst with a slightly blocked nose. Body aches are gone. They only lasted a day with me.
- bananafungus ( @bananafungus@aussie.zone ) 3•11 months ago
Finishing my model WWII Jeep and watching Practical Magic.
- useless_modern_god ( @useless_modern_god@aussie.zone ) 2•11 months ago
Are you building a Willys ?
- bananafungus ( @bananafungus@aussie.zone ) 2•11 months ago
The box just says “1:18 scale WWII Army Field Car Jeep”. To me at least, it looks like a Willy MB because the front ends rounded. Was just a random little present from my sibling, so probably not much accuracy to it.
- useless_modern_god ( @useless_modern_god@aussie.zone ) 1•11 months ago
Well I think that’s interesting.
- Bottom_racer ( @Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ) 3•11 months ago
I am tackling gyoza (!)
- CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 3•11 months ago
And the flavour is?
- Bottom_racer ( @Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ) 3•11 months ago
I don’t know they’re not done yet.
- Seagoon_ ( @Seagoon_@aussie.zone ) 8•11 months ago
Scored a bunch of poetry LPs, Shakespeare, some Schubert and a Julian Bream 👍 8 LPs, $16 😸

Couldn’t open my mouth and ask for the help I really need. Try again tomorrow.
- underwatermagpies ( @underwatermagpies@aussie.zone ) 7•11 months ago
On Monday I’m planning to take a sick day and I’ve just booked an indulgent massage package. And I don’t feel remotely guilty. It’ll be medicinal.
- SpinMeAround ( @SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ) 5•11 months ago
What an amazing decision, hell yeah!! I hope it’s every bit of indulgent as you hope! I hope you get to have some delicious snacks and maybe a drink!
- underwatermagpies ( @underwatermagpies@aussie.zone ) 3•11 months ago
Well if you’re going to twist my arm… yes, I reckon I desperately need some of that too.
- Rusty Raven ( @RustyRaven@aussie.zone ) 7•11 months ago
It’s my last day of leave and I am very sad. Don’t wanna go back to work ☹️
- StudSpud The Starchy ( @StudChud@aussie.zone ) English7•11 months ago
Work done!
Prosecco in hand. Noice!
- CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 5•11 months ago
Enjoy mate.
- fullkitwanker ( @fullkitwanker@aussie.zone ) 7•11 months ago
Hello DIYers, I have managed to crack the door and need to get it fixed before I leave. How do? Pls 101 me
- bull⚡ ( @bull@aussie.zone ) English8•11 months ago
Cover it with this
- MeanElevator ( @MeanElevator@aussie.zone ) English7•11 months ago
Plaster repair kit from Bunnings will do it.
Patch, putty/filler, spreader, sandpaper and some paint.
Watch a YouTube video if unsure.
You’ll be sweet.
- Pilk ( @Pilk@aussie.zone ) 6•11 months ago
Building manager (or your building’s website) might be able to send you the fixtures/finishes used in the apartments. You can use this to find the paint shade and get a super close match.
- Bottom_racer ( @Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ) 5•11 months ago
A shitload of wood putty.
- TinyBreak ( @TinyBreak@aussie.zone ) 7•11 months ago
any recommendations for making new mates? Realized in psych yesterday I’ve had a few mates drop away and have become actually pretty friggin lonely. Not much of a sports guy and obviously a bit time poor.
- landsharkkidd ( @landsharkkidd@aussie.zone ) English4•11 months ago
Volunteering helps. I’ve made so many friends from working at PAX (a gaming convention), and what’s great is that PAX is also an American show, so I’ve made not only Australian friends but Americans too!
- CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 4•11 months ago
Men’s shed perhaps.
- melbaboutown ( @melbaboutown@aussie.zone ) 2•11 months ago
Introvert here so take it with a grain of salt.
But I’ve found having a club/class/volunteer job you turn up to regularly both filters for shared interests, and helps you see the same people repeatedly to get to know them in a low pressure environment. (That last part is hard to do without that regular structure especially when people work a lot.)
Edit: No idea how to take the friendship beyond the club environment but that seems to be something that happens naturally or doesn’t. And just being hobby acquaintances is nice enough

Just got a payrise, which is 0.1% ahead of inflation.
