    I’m putting a bunch of stuff on a stick and burning it then going for a swim.

    This is the most profound thing I’m doing today.

    What are the best hot cross buns that money can buy? I’m enjoying this brioche choc chip variety from Woolies but thinking there must be better.

      Cannibal Creek Bakehouse in Garfield. Just a short Vline trip for the Melbournites. Wood fired brioche buns are to die for.

      I’ve had some damn nice ones at gourmet bakeries, but there’s none near me and also expensive for regular consumption. If it’s between Coles, Woolies and Bakers delight, Bakers is the best for sure.

      I like the standard fruit and also choc chip. I’m not a puritan and occasionally try the other flavours. If you are feeling exceptionally brave I saw pizza shapes flavoured buns at the supermarket. It’s gone too far. Why. Just why.

    Post art on different platform, nobody’s really that interested. Plus it’d just get scraped by AI. :(

    (I know I should be making it for myself but when you’re depressed and everything’s difficult it’s nice to get a little extra motivation or a bit of a boost from others’ enjoyment.)

    Interesting. I went into my bathroom and smelt smoke, so I opened up the front door and there’s quite a smokey smell. Nothing on VicEmergency, and I’m not sure who’s got a fire on at the end of a 30° day while it’s still in the 20s

    Edit: well I got paranoid so I went for a walk and made sure nothing’s on fire. Am I just smelling the bushfire out near Beaufort? I actually didn’t know that was still going tbh, but I haven’t actually smelt it before

          I’m a bit rusty…

          You and I have loved before
          I know the rules of love and you do, also
          A commitment to one another with no bounds is what I am considering
          This I believe is not something another man is able to offer you
          I must tell you of my feelings; to convey understanding
          I am never going to give you up
          I am never going to let you down
          I will not flee desert you
          I will not cause you undue distress
          I will not willingly say farewell I will not tell a falsehood and cause you pain

          I went and checked with some work collegues. They tell me it’s Assyrian script.

          Edit: Tried to tell me initially that it was Ashuri

            Ancient scripts are just a script, and many languages use a script, like English and French use the same script but are different languages…

            So script and language, once you decode you can prolly determine language

      My husband had a look and said it had a touch of arabic so his guess would be Babylonian or Assyrian.

      Edit: Probably not Babylonian. If it helps the scripts are written from right to left.

    Starting my new job tomorrow!

    But they still haven’t informed me of when exactly I’m meant to start my shit. Will have to call in and chase that up after lunch me thinks.

    Oh and I started my own community for anyone interested, learning about, or working in early childhood.

    !earlychildhood@quokk.au

      That’s so cool you’ve started a new community. You should make a post from !earlychildhood@quokk.au explaining what it’s about (I know pretty self explaining really but you know) and it’ll land on the homepage. If it’s just Melbourne based then post it in !melbourne@aussie.zone. It’ll still end up on the home page.

      Good luck with your new job tomorrow!

        The community is showing up fine for me. There may have been a little bit of a delay if this is the first time aussie.zone users have looked at Quokk.au communities. First-time federation can take a couple of minutes.

        Anyway, it’s fine, now. I didn’t do anything.

          Oh ok. It’s not showing up on the list of local communities for me. I don’t know enough about this kind of stuff though.

            Ahh - now I see what you mean. It isn’t showing up in local communities because it isn’t a local community. That interpretation of “local” means “local to aussie.zone”, not local to Australia. As the community lives on Quokk.au, it isn’t local as far as Lemmy is concerned.

            !melbourne@lemmy.world exists, for example - but it won’t show up on local communities, because it lives on lemmy.world.

          I think you are correct but I didn’t know how to put it into those words. If that’s the case then disregard everything I said.

    Why do companies always go too-fancy when catering for corporate things? I’m not impressed by your ridiculous food which I’d never order.
