Found a dead juvenile (I think, not very long) Tiger snake on the road out the front of work just now. Even dead I am scared of it. shivers
Right up there with you on this! Snakes frighten the SHIT outta me. I thought that was the whole appeal of Tassie? Less snakes. Or am thinking Spiders? Or maybe Im thinking of NZ…
3 species of snakes in Tassie.
All 3 are venomous.
Took little one to St Helens over easter and she almost stepped on a copperhead. Even now I have these ‘what if’ thoughts if she stepped on it because we were remote.
trying to find large plastic shaker bottles (like these) that are not sold by amazon. (Reason: Sick of barkeepers friend clumping)
I have not found them thus far but I have found a place that will sell me a 3kg tin of nacho cheese and one that will sell me a box of replacement plastic grinder tops for pepper mills.
I reuse bi carb containers. This one has cheap bi carb in it for cleaning
After I finish the one in the cupboard I’ll use it for bar keepers friend.
Large spice jars like McCormick have lids like this too.
those go up to about 250ml, but we want a BIGGER one. And I am not gonna finish off my 750g of lawry’s seasoning salt any time before 2030 lol
Why not glass? Get yourself a giant jar of olives, eat olives and repurpose said jar. That’s what I do with my sourdough starter. And I don’t even eat olives, so I give them to my mum!
wet hands shaking the powder out over pots his lordship is gonna drop and break that shit. believe me, if I could glass, I would. We primarily run glass in this house
Fuck me in the Goat arse i go down to tape up around the boot holes for the ducts and the goddamn things ARE FUCKING SWEATING. Fucking thanks mate, i was just thinking we need more humidity around the joists
I’m sorry…are the first six words of your post a quote from an Adam Sandler album?
Cause I’m pretty sure they are.
I knew it!!
Enjoy the Ragu festival while I stay here and watch my dick get smaller
take me to the raguuu! pass me around!
Going through music on YouTube and just realised that Tom Petty died a while back.
One of my favourite artists ever and so understated when it comes to 80s-90s music
Fuck I’m old
Tom Petty is fucking legend. We played him tonight. We play him every Friday. His songs remind me of summer playing his Greatest hits album on repeat especially Mary’s Lasts Dance. He was a true tripper.
Just on the old comment: if it makes you feel any better I was laying on the floor playing with Tinyest when I felt something in my back to pop and I’m like “welp, that’s it. I’m floor people now. I’ll never be able to get back up”. So your deffo not alone.
Bleh. Hot weather and got a headache and been nauseous all day.
Yuck.
I hope it’s only the headache giving me the nausea else I’ve unknowingly caught something.
drink water and rest a bit
Yeah. Need more water for sure. Did fall asleep for a nap before though.
We had spider related drama. Miniest was making her bed this morning and came running with hysterical screaming she saw a spider on the floor, which she said darted quickly under her bed. Of course it disappeared before I got there to help. Elder grabbed a torch (even though he is also scared of spiders) and we went over the room. No spider. Then an over the door coat hook thing fell on his head and hit his face, so he retired with an ice pack and some unsavoury language. I pulled the wardrobe away from the wall, stripped beds etc., investigated the room thoroughly with a vacuum cleaner on hand for undesirables. Cleaned the room within an inch of existence. The only disturbing thing I found was a hole in the plaster made by Mr P (when he was “cleaning” some time in the past) which he hid by rearranging the furniture and placing the wardrobe in front of it 🤦🏻♀️ I temp fixed the hole but have found no spider. Now Miniest is suspicious of the bedroom and elder is sitting on her bed with her and distracting her with YouTube videos. He’s a good brother.
I’m finally near the end of my interminable day of cleaning ahead of tomorrow’s rental inspection. The house is gleaming. I’m exhausted and trying not to get too negative about the indignity of renting in the current market and the inevitable rent increase notice in a month’s time and urgh.
I changed my LinkedIn profile yesterday and set up alerts, and already got a hit - but it seems to be more of what depressed me at my old job, just being on the other side of it (in fact worse, because I have to be the bad guy and shoulder all the responsibility).
Could maybe hack it if it was a short term contract to build towards better roles, but full time permanent would kill what’s left of my soul. I think I’ve seen this job advertised a few months ago anyway so there’s another red flag if the other guy left so quickly.
Luckily I know someone who worked in a very similar role at the same org recently, so I shall get some inside info. See if I could do a hit and run; I do need the experience in local government and the cash would be good too before I think about moving interstate.
See if you can find a round screw top plastic container at a variety store or Kmart. Then drill some holes in the lid.
I’m watching The Tourist S2 and it’s insane.
Ok I’ve been outside and it’s horrible
Let’s talk about something serious. How fucking annoying are the nails to cut on the tiniest little piggies. The others no problems. I just whack my feet on the bath and cut away but the little ones I have to sit on the floor, position my feet at a weird angle and cut because they want to curl around my toe. Evolution has a way to go yet. Not looking forward to getting old.
It’s the hardest one to chew, too.
I reckon the big ones harder. You need sharpened teeth for those.
The Vietnamese ladies I pay don’t seem to have any issues cutting them
Secateurs for bull?
I just do my pinkies cross legged with my feet upside down
speak for yourself, my little piggies are the easiest.
what we need is a scratch post
Made of sandpaper
Hot tip for anyone with tough toe nails. Chop them straight after showering. Soaking in water makes them a bit softer and they will be easier to cut.
Heh our call system is very fucky today. Love being worked to the bone and pulled in a thousand directions at once when I can’t even take or make calls.
My favourite, what a fantastic Friday /s
You win again :D
Am I fat pig for being able to inhale a large thin crust wood fired pizza easily?
those thin crust pizzas are so easy to eat
No. I also reckon pizzas have gotten smaller over the last 30 years or so, so you’ve got to eat more. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.
Probably but what was on the pizza?
Pineapple, Virginia ham, mozzarella and a tomato based sauce.
That sounds good.
Yum. My kind of pizza!
Nope. That is the standard amount of pizza for a single sitting.
Phew I’m off the hook!
Glad to give my blessing.
Onya @Duenan@aussie.zone. I really thought the Thunder had a chance. Anyway
CEO - 10 Duenan - 11
It’s a double header so you can pick the first one between Scorchers vs Heat because I’ll pick the Renegades over the Stars because I’m an idiot.
Was just typing to you. Hehe.
I actually fell asleep during the Thunders innings and just woke up so I had no idea what happened other than the post interviews were taking place.
I think for the double I’m going to go for the Heat, didn’t they only play against each other the night?
And you got the Renegades because of loyalty.
Good luck!
Good luck!
How’s your headache btw?
I think it’s gone now due to the nap though I felt like I overslept now.
I’m not sure how long I was out for.
Thanks for asking. How are you doing tonight?
Yeah it’s been happy hour for the last 7 hours so yeah good. Playing some cool tunes.
Oh awesome. Hope you’ve been having a good time!
👍
Had one of those days where everything that could go wrong, did. Don’t think I had a single win all day.
Evening has been better though. Had a nice dinner, then an hour ago I got the energy to do some tidying up as I was getting sick of looking at mess. Wine has now been opened. Mind is at (temporary) peace.
