day… 6? still coughing shit up. Woke up feeling amazing but within 10 seconds of being in the shower it starts again. Hit me with your home remedies. i’ll even accept placebo ones at this point!
Okay, the his sounds gross but my parents used to give this to me when sick.
milk, honey, butter (proper butter) and cloves. On the stove on low and mix. Drink warm.
sadly milk just kills me a the moment. Same reason I cant have a coffee, which isnt helping my mood a ton if im honest haha
Plant milk perhaps? Honey, butter and cloves probably did most of the heavy lifting in that partnership
I’m on day 10 with a blocked nose and my voice going in and out.
good god! thats not fun. Blocked I could deal with, running and coughing up green shit is getting a bit tedious though.
I have to say mine isn’t green, white to yellow so that’s something but it’s persistent which is annoying me.
sounds like RSV
I dont think so just cause toddler had a snotty nose for like 2 or 3 days then bounced back no worries.
I hear Dan Murphy’s is having a sale.
Honey. Lots of honey. Nature’s wonder drug.
even the supermarket stuff?
Yeah just look out for PURE HONEY. Manuka honey is even better.
cheers. I’ve just got mixed blossom but I took half a teaspoon so we will see if it helps!
Does it say pure honey on it? If not you’re eating a concocted sugar syrup.
it doesnt say. ingredients list it as honey 100% though. its just the cheap one from aldi.
Better than nothing in my experience. Get well soon!
Worth a shot at this point!
whooping cough?
dunno, not out of breath. Think its just a bad cold sadly.
the snot lasts about 2-3 weeks, then comes the coughing
Covid?
Whatever it is, hope you feel better soon!
not according to the test. Sure feels like it though.
I am not an ogre and so I would prefer not to live in a swamp please.
🤔 I’ve been looking at houses in Williamstown and swamp is exactly what came to mind
there are huge flood plains around there
Can get such a good deal on two pairs of glasses at Specsavers right now, including a pair of polarised prescription sunglasses, but their range is either tack and el cheapo, or obscenely priced for what it is. I’m thinking my gorgeous features deserve better?
I’ve found really good service at opsm , they even changed lenses on old glasses for me
I 2nd OPSM. Specsavers frames are crappy.
I was promised 24 and sunny what.
I have the sun 😎
I do too in Adelaide! Only 10:18 here, already 30°
30% humidity and max of 34°, absolutely bliss. Sorry melbsters, I stole your nice weather
Hopefully 100% replaced wheel? What an ordeal!
That rim looked hosed :|
We found an automotive wreckers that has our tyres and rims. They’ll only replace all 4, or none at all, but finding somewhere that’ll only do 1 has proved surprisingly difficult. Anyway we’re just at a cafe waiting for them to change them all out
Yeah changing one tyre on its own is usually A Bad Idea, especially if the others are worn a little. You don’t want to chuck some random tyre on one corner in isolation, all tyres are definitely not equal.
Different tread patterns or compounds side-to-side is a HUGE handling/safety no-no, and having one worn and one new tyre on the driven wheels especially (or anywhere if the car is AWD) can destroy diffs or AWD clutch packs.
Two-wheel-drive car, you should be able to get away with only replacing the front or rears as a pair and you should be golden.
I think Catch accidentally doubled up and gave me twice the amount of dishwashing tablets. I guess I don’t need to order anymore for like 2 years now
Check your bank statement to see if they double charged you.
No double charge. I put in two separate orders close together so maybe they accidentally fulfilled it twice
I watched a documentary on Netflix called That Sugar Film. Basically the creator ate “healthy” processed foods for 60 days. He put on around 10kg. It was very interesting to watch.
5/5 hobbits
I might have a look at that.
( and yay me, I tried on my new cute skirt and it’s only one size too small now , not two, 🙂 )
I think you’ll find it really interesting
And yay for you!!!
I watched and did find it interesting.
gees, I buy hardly any processed food for meals, I cook a lot, but I do have a sweet tooth for snacks
and yes, fake “health” foods like sweetened muesli are evil, I don’t eat them, just have traditional foods like toast with home made marmalade . I ignore any input that tells me eating real foods in moderation is bad.
So how did i get fat. I ate portions that were too big and ate sugary snacks.
Nice little funderstorm rapidly approaching from the north.
How long before it hits?
That one has fizzled out - another coming and I can hear the funder.
I managed to snag one of those white Steam Decks as a graduation present for my girlfriend. They’re a nice little unit, Valve really made sure to give them that premium feel like an Apple product
How do you type on them? I’ve always wondered that, since if I invested in one it would be to play FFXIV and I’d want a way to chat. Always assumed it was a touch screen thing, and have no idea how well that would work for it.
Yes, it would be a pop-up touch screen keyboard and the track pads work very well as a mouse too.
I would just check compatibility with the Steam Deck if you want to play a game like FFXIV. It’s OS is Linux so some online games don’t like it because of the anti-cheat they use.
I has a friend:
Awww. Good sign of a helthy garden.

hello fren
Damn, I am so gonna be a peas and mash adult.
I was in a hurry the other week and stashed the tyre pump and battery separately. Found the pump yesterday and was like, yeah, I have a vague memory of that and thought hmm, maybe I took the battery (I have a few batteries so wouldn’t have noticed it was missing) back inside.
Nope, just found the battery somewhere I wouldn’t had thought to look if it wasn’t for my putting something else away…
I could just play hide and seek with myself. 😭🤣
I do stuff like that more often than I’d care to admit. One spectacular example was stashing my new credit card so safely that I couldn’t find it, then had to cancel and order a new one. Then I found the original one, of course
I have done this …lol
Good dreams get to me when the content feels unattainable :(
🫂
Humidity please fuck off.
it’s awful, it’s like London on a horrible day, I think I prefer warm humidity to this,
Very restless sleep last night with bizarre dreams.
Positive team building post. 🙂
So what is the first song you remember? Mine is The Beatles, Twist and Shout. I must have been about two and a half, maybe younger. I remember the joy of it.
Für Elise or the Blue Danube I think, they were in a kid’s fairytale audiobook CD (not tape!) that got very heavy rotation. The Blue Danube used to come at the middle/intermission of a story that always gave me very ominous, anxious feelings and to this day I can’t think of it as a magnificent, stately song reminiscent of a big flowing river, just a sense that the baddies are around the corner. I think we had some tapes of The Carpenters (Top of the World was definitely pre-primary).
I don’t remember anything earlier aside from your usual kids clapping songs etc.
Can’t remember the very first - our house had a lot of music but most of it we made ourselves cos we all could play and us kids were all in the church choir. Maybe Cleo Laine in Porgy & Bess? Mum had the record and played it a lot. Didn’t discover ‘pop’ music until my early teens - The Beatles made a huge impression as did Herman’s Hermits.
Mrs Brown you’ve got a lovely daughter in that voice. Every single time
Singing my song. Literally.
Lol
Can’t forget Puff The Magic Dragon by Peter Paul & Mary as a first sing along at primary school.
Oh that was close to being there first full song I could play on piano
U2 - I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
One thing I’m very grateful for with my upbringing is that there was a lot of music - the Beatles, Beach Boys, U2, Meatloaf, The Seekers. We’d go on family drives (to other country towns for their pokie joints), but the drive was always great with the music playing.
Song not to play at a wedding.
Summer Holiday by Cliff Richard
He was such a huge star in the 60s and 70s 🙂
I loved him and followed him into the 80s.
Regrettably un positive. Rolf Harris.
Two little boys …
Six White Boomers
Michael Jackson - Thriller
The Play School theme I reckon. I had a Play School record, the only record I ever owned.
Something by Harry Belafonte or Nana Mouskouri. Now that I’ve googled Harry’s songs, I’m amazed how many I know, lol.
I used to watch the Nana Mouskouri show every week. She was such a huge tv star, had such a lovely voice and nice personality.
I feel like it was Michael Jackson Bad or maybe The Bangles. I feel like I didn’t hear lyrics in songs until almost my 30s. Probably part of why I liked psytrance.
For some reason they played time warp at my kindy before nap time. I used to dread the end of the song… everyone falls down and stops dead
Now it’s one of my favorites, because I have the context of Rocky Horror and adulthood.
I’m convinced that the kindy was run by people who wanted to torment small children.
Hmmmm probably Surfing USA - the beach boys. Or The Ventures - Walk don’t run
Deodato’s jazz/funk rendition of “Also Sprach Zarathustra” from Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey
It’s a nice groove from 1973. Not in the least bit part of any historical importance or music chart but, it’s the earliest I can remember.
omg, I remember this
Do you? Far out.
🙂
Mull of Kintyre - Paul McCartney
Oh I am gonna need a change of clothes if I am gonna be walking to work in this…
And heeere comes the rain! Yippee!
