Azalias are at full tilt:
Weeping cherry on the way out :(
beautiful
The fan was great for blocking out the construction noises.
That said, I think Fluffball had a harder time of things sadly.
Fluff might only get 21 hours of sleep today?
How will she endure under such hardship???
She has now officially made up for it.
🤣🤣🤣
Melbcat is scared of noise too. I found Zylkene helps a little as do boxes insulated with blankets. If it was really bad I’d play soft relaxation music or birdsong in the background to try and mask.
I’d like to introduce you all to Kiwi. He’s quite chonky for a week old
Ooo beef or dairy boy? He’s adorable! 😍 Cows are just massive dogs 😭
Beef. He gon get big
You’ve named him. You can’t eat him now.
He’s going to have a lovely year before then
Someone else may well do so.
He looks like my neighbours.
Metro Tunnel is opening in December!!
(I’m not even going to be a regular patron of it. I just like cool trains)
I could in theory make use of it but it would be much harder to fare evade
That is very true. Do you get encounter many AOs when you take PT?
Every now and then yeh. My daily route is along st Kilda Rd. I just pay attention and touch on when they board 😀 that probably only happens once a month
Wow, I thought they would be popping up a lot more frequently around there. They’re too busy near Melbourne Central and the city unis targeting poor students.
I’ve only ever seen them on trains and city trams. I normally take buses and hardly a peep.
Same! I will totally go in to explore all of the stations and ride through the tunnel because I love to see it!
I’ve been wondering when it will open. I’ve wanted to take the kids
I am a child at heart who also wants to go
bleerrrg
Place next door being built is fkn loud. Basically a massive crater at this point.
Looking at the company who is building it, it will probably look something like
this
Or one of those ‘ultra modern’ boxes.
According to the plans the pool is going to be bang right up against the fence so I’ll be able to jump in when they’re not there :) or if I’m nice to them maybe they’ll let me use the subterranean indoor cinema which (according to the plans) can seat 15 (!) people lol.
From what I gather this company builds it then tries to sell it so what sort of person would buy something like that (without any input into the design) I have no idea.
ha ha , do bombs off the fence into the pool
and the burbs are full of those now, they aren’t brick or stone, it’s stucco on foam, hebel if they are doing are it right
also, having actually lived in one of those in europe, albeit an 18th C one, the layouts are awkward and not in tune with modern living, I did like having lots of sunlight and the entrance hall was nice
there were little extra windows everywhere that were made of venetian rose tinted glass lead light , glass so old looking through them every thing looked all wobbly, The wooden floors were old too, in the past they didn’t have mortise and tenon joined wood floors, it was just butted and then they would grout between them. After a few centuries the grout was all gone and there were big gaps . Couldn’t walk barefoot anywhere as it hurt.
no, I didn’t have a cinema, tho there was a cellar. It was dank and cold and would get flooded and had rising damp, it was where the furnace was
That would’ve been interesting living in a ‘real’ one!
It was.
the old houses are built for people who are far shorter than modern people, doors are low, rooms small
unless it had very large rooms i wouldn’t get one, they aren’t conducive to modern life
Make that 3 interviews this week!
Again universe, I am grateful.
locking the cats out of the room at night has really improved sleep
every little improvement adds up and it adds up exponentially, improvement builds on improvement😸
This is why Alfie has his own room, I was sleeping like crap because of him and it was hard to train him out of it when he’d had 5 years of naughty behaviour. So he gets his own room, I sleep much better and he doesn’t mind it - runs to his room when it’s bed time!
Melbcat sleeps in the bed every night and has for 5 years. It’s too late for me!
I have doors I can jam shut now 👍
Someone has rifled through and broken the returnable meal delivery box I left out overnight. I hope it was someone hungry off the street hoping to find a snack. People suck.
My first plant order has arrived
It’s mostly natives, plus a couple of lemon trees and some rosemary. I’ve got a few more perrenial herbs on order too and another box of natives I’m expecting next week. I need to sit down and do a proper planting plan, at the moment I’ve got a rough mental plan but need to sit down and work out the specifics.
I aim to get the rest of the cardboard/mulch down this afternoon so I can do some planting tomorrow. I got some compost today so I can dig that in when I plant, which will hopefully be enough for the plants to get a foothold. The soil seems to be mostly clay so could have some drainage issues but otherwise doesn’t seem too terrible.
Oo nice
exciting 😊
My iris plant has a bud, first one, I’m not even sure what colour it will be as it’s a bulb I got from the gardeners at the carlton gardens a few years ago
I think it’s going to be purple
It’s looking healthy and beautiful
I tend them like babies
I’ve always loved iris, they are a beautiful flower.
I jumped at the chance to get some rare ones from the Gardens. The ones there are fancy.
and they are very beautiful
I went for another walk… pushing it a bit fast physically and just waiting to have issues again. (Shit area.) But for now I’m just trying to gently get moving again.
I need to get the summer clothes out I think. Melbcat is loving the sunbeams.
Edit: Also I think the exercise band needs to go back up onto the door, because without regular strengthening I recently got another (thankfully mild) shoulder injury.
It’s tough. I can’t go too hard but develop problems when I’m forced to stop moving.
just keep moving 😸
Desperate to see physio tomorrow to unlock my shoulder. Have been in a great mood because of diet change but shoulder has restricted what I can do.
Fingers crossed.
How have you changed your diet? Hopefully you can see the physio soon
Pretty much completely clean eating so no sugar, very little cars, high protein etc. It’s great long term but the first couple of days can be a roller-coaster.
And thanks, I Defs need the physio I fucked up and practiced drums yesterday and today and that was a terrible idea.
Must be good not eating all that metal from the cars 🚗🚕🚘
🤣🤣🤣
I’ve heard from multiple sources that removing vehicles from your diet helps in a few ways
Removing them is hard work. Not enough fibre.
Is that what they meant by ‘stealin’ watermelons outta my truck patch’?
yay, I got my stuff done today, even with adapting the schedule a little
I feel relief and accomplishment , it was easy tasks but I had to push myself, I am success resistant 😠I’m cross because it’s because of triggers
I’m glad you feel relieved! Always a nice feeling after you’ve done the things you need to do
the achievement is getting into a new schedule
changing chaos into order
🥳🥳
🍻
Anatomy practice… hehe I drew a butt ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I would post but it’s Adult Content 🙈
I have recently posted adult content. These pervs are immune now.
So what was the German lube called?
Pjur Woman Nude Water-based Personal Lubricant.
There are two types of songs I like to listen to on Youtube: songs only a few days old with just a couple of hundred views, and songs that are like 15 years old with millions of views.
Sometimes Youtube blesses you with a song that is 15 years old and only has a couple of thousand views.
I like bands that have had more than a decade between albums.
Always ends up being an interesting album.
It’s always interesting when a band has been active for so long and just hasn’t put anything new out. Sometimes its because they have bangers they can ride on for that long, or you get a band like Sleep that had written new songs but just not recorded them.
And it’s always interesting to see how close to the old stuff new music sounds after such a long break. Like I feel like with Fear Inoculum it sounded like Tool walked out of the studio in 2006 and just came back and turned everything on in 2019. You couldn’t tell there was like 13 years between them, and not in the best way exactly.
Agreed on all points.
I love Tool but that album wasn’t great. I listened to it twice then never again.
I’ll take lateralus, undertow and aenima any day of the week.
