Art supplies have been obtained . I got 4 tombow calligraphy pens in classic ink colours
I haven’t seen you post up your calligraphy in awhile now that I think about it.
I haven’t done any in a while. Just spent too much time sick in bed this year, at least 4 months 😔, and the rest of the year was doing big house cleaning and sorting
Can we all just bask in the lovely warm feeling that hanson has zero legal recourse now if you refer to her loudly and publicly as a racist
There really should be more politicians of a working class background representing the interests of ordinary people… instead we get that. :(
Also it’s a bit rich for an Aussie to tell anyone to go back where they came from…
Also it’s a bit rich for an Aussie to tell anyone to go back where they came from…
It’s because those Aussies don’t see First Nations as actual real people with rights lol
Yeah, Terra Nullius and all that. It’s fucked.
Absolutely. The only good things from when I went to Uni was doing the aboriginal languages, and first nations culture. I have a lot of sources I saved to whip out for deniers haha.
There’s a harrowing recount of a massacre, written by a modern woman as a retort to another bloke who denies the genocides (they’re both academics), and I like to pull that one out for the shock value. I have it available but it’s nsfw
I once saw an interview on ABC of an old farmer from Gippsland , this was over 30 years ago, where he talks about giving local first nation families sacks of poisoned flour. He talked of finding the dead families, children included. He had no sense of shame or guilt. So the interview is about 40 years old now and the guy was about 80 talking about when he was in his 20s and 30s, so this was maybe 100 years ago, that’s still 20th century.
This is what it was like, individuals like this evil bastard committing murder.
I don’t know if there was any organisation by or talk among farmers to commit systematic genocide.
That is actually foul af, evil. I had not heard about that! Good fucking lord what the actual fucking fuck
I have heard of two instances from the mouths of the perps. The Gippsland one and Northern Territory.
It was farmers, always graziers.
They would run families away from natural watering holes too, ( who would then of course die of thirst or hunger. ) There is a chapter on that in “We of the Never Never”.
Maybe she’ll stop getting a weekly spot on Sunrise now
Bank locked my account due to suspicious activity. Can’t unlock till Monday.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuckity, fuck.
That doesn’t sound right. Isn’t there a 24/7 number?
I ran em. Need to present photo ID at a branch…
Have you got food and a little cash? Hoping the weekend flies by
Yeah I’m OK. I frantically messaged a friend and he was super cool about it. I feel really grateful for that :)
You gotta stop giving those drug dealers an upfront payment before getting the goods. Especially if they tell you to desposit it via cashapp or PayPal lol.
Always cash when buying, and no pre-payment lol
Nah jokes aside that’s fucked up! Like wtf? And the fact they did it on the weekend when they aren’t open is evil. There isn’t an after hours number you could call? Or something you could do via the online portal? Idk I’m sorry
Gibson must have been buying catnip and temptations treats from the dark Web lol
But yeah it sucks. Mate jumped in and helped :)
Dafuq, what kind of bank locks you out over the weekend??! Surely there’s a way through. People get stuck overseas at all hours AEST…
Need to present at a branch with ID
That sounds really messed up. How on earth would this be managed if you were overseas?! And with branches being few and far between this really sucks. After the commbank outage recently I’m starting to think it might be beneficial to have accounts with multiple banks as a backup.
If you were out east side I’d spot you some cash… will you be OK for today and tomorrow?
I really, really appreciate that. That’s incredibly kind of you ❤️ I reached out to a friend who was happy to help out.
But again, thank you :)
Oh man. The hops which they send you through to fix your account is atrocious.
My one beef is that they keep sliming down branch locations and opening hours and it’s next to impossible to get it fixed at times.
I hope it’ll be fixed for you soon. Keep us updated!
One of my neighbours has been playing classical music over the last week or two and it’s just so lovely to go out on the balcony and listen.
Some opera singers, classical instrumentals shame I know the songs but not the names of them.
Edit: O Sole Mio!!! That’s it! That’s what my neighbour is playing right now
That does sound lovely.
It really is so soothing. I think the neighbours playing the classical music might be the two Melbourne famous musicians who live in my building. The lady is a composer and conductor for an orchestra, and the bloke is a semi-well-known jazz sax player. They are so cultured 😭 I’m intimidated lol but they’re extremely down to earth and lovely people tbh
Go bacon, bacon go…. Go!!
DON’T GET TOO DISTRACTED THOUGH WE STILL NEED BREAKFAST.
Other persons might need breakfast more 🖤
Some lucky person might be getting their own personal chef…
Online ad: access to interdimensional tardis-like pantry and the skills of Rokusaburo Michiba and Gordon Ramsey. Also, cute.
Ahahaha thank you! I don’t think we’ll date because of circumstances. But definitely friends and I am very happy about that. Most importantly we had a great time!
Glad to hear it went well. :)
Glad you had a great time :)
Aww at least you had a great time and will continue on being friends.
Chef is going on a date and cannot sleep.
Joking aside, you seem really cool and the kinda person I’d wanna hang out with and so you’ve more than got this mate! If they’re obnoxious though then please do share the goss ❤️
Thank you!! I already know this person and they are very nice.
Good luck! Hope you have a fun time!
Thank you!!
🍆
Chef!!!
Yes!
Good luck :)
Thank you!
There was a fly lol
I’m betting on Gibson here.
Ahh the simple pleasures of life.
Things feel pretty hopeless lately but I’ve got a furry baby asleep on my chest so I stick it out
I’m glad you two have each other <3
In my dream someone was making breakfast cocktails. Something with blitzed pears.
My cup of tea is fine, but I could totally go a fancy pear cocktail.
That sounds intriguing
Super grateful I got the ps5. As much as I love music, the spark isn’t always there.
Final fantasy rebirth is so good so far!
I have to admit though, I do find it hard to just relax. This intense need to be productive at all times hangs over my head.
I hope you’re having a good time and fluffy isn’t annoying you too much as you play.
The shoeboxes have proved to be a fantastic little spot for her to hangout while I play lol
Second breakfast was a success. Met with friend/colleague from last job and sat in a cafe playing chess for two hours. Won 2/2 games which is rare, she’s better than me, and the second game was an absolute epic. No blunders, really long and spicy end game. Lots of fun!
Grandmaster Force graces us with his chess prowess
Second batch of soap (the one I messed up and had to re-cook) is now out of the moulds and looking good. Now I just have to wait a couple of months for drying.
I would definitely accidentally eat one of those.
My brother totally did that with a Santa head shaped soap. No, not white choc. 🫧
You should notice they don’t smell right before you get to the point of taking a bite
No shortbread this time, just fake brownies. Lies!
That looks so much like fudge…
Pausing from painting for a snack break, saw those and thought yum
I thought they were brownies 😦
Looks tasty!
I did 3 pullups today
I can’t even do one.
Yeah, but you’re juggling some manner of complicated health issue - I do not know what, and I’m not going to ask because that’s your business, but you’re very open about the notion that your health is complex.
The benchmarks might be in different places for you
Yeah that’s true.
It’s probably a good thing, if I had the physical ability there’s no telling what I’d get up to
It took me like six months
Go you! How did you train for it?
Pull up machine to reduce my weight to build up
And also just jumpng, holding the position, and then slowly lowering over time.
💪
Nice work!!! Better than not doing them at all!! 3 pull-ups are hard! I can’t even do one lol Very proud of you!! And you should be very proud of yourself too! 💜
Strong! I couldn’t do one now but I went from 0 to 12 in about 9 months a few years back. I know how hard it is! Keep at at it 💪💪💪 Edit: don’t mean to one up you. The first one is the hardest, if you’re at three now it’s going to be easier from here to build.
House got cleaned. Cars have been washed and detailed. Nap has been had. Time for some Pho!!!
Perhaps a movie later.
Mmm, Pho! What movie are you thinking?
Settled on Blues Brothers.
Watched it last night (favourite of all time), and kids haven’t seen it l, so watching it again.
Drove all the way to Preston to fill up at the last servo still doing 169/L (forgot I gotta drive to Ballarat tomorrow). Saved $7 compared to the other joints at 189, probably worth it as it would’ve only been about 50c extra of petrol. Dropped off some insanely overdue library books. Worked out how to undo the key lock I had my spare keys in. Laundry done. Now time to make a brunch of spinach, scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and toast.
Next up, grab some boxes and sort out empty jars (colleague has offered to take em all) and expired/unlikely to be used food in pantry. Might use up some of the pantry stuff to take tomorrow, maybe a big batch of BBQ jackfruit. E: nope it’s going to be rice and curry, so jackfruit curry it is. And toor dal with spinach.
Yeah, so good. I paid over $2/L Blergh.
Ouchhhh. I haven’t had to think about petrol regularly for quite a while (work car, then rarely needing to commute for work) and forget about the bloody PH price bump… Hope where you’re going to will be worth the petrol tho!
