Heh, The Andrew formally known as Prince.
What about the cunt? Hasn’t been exiled and attainded.
Yeah, he’s been kicked further down the road.
His two daughters have kept their titles though.
Sitting watching the rain through the bedroom window cuddled with the ball of fluff.
Ah the serenity.
Goodnight all ❤️
I feel like I’m getting the raw end of the deal somehow.
Is it 3 ply?
I hope she realises that just a few years ago toilet paper was a luxury prized above rubies
it’s such a simple thing and it makes her happy 😸
Today we had 19 or 20 people call in sick from our Melbourne office today, normal amount for a Monday might be 5
I booked mine. Not back 'til next week
Yeah i took monday and friday off. Five day weekend for pennies.
I had four meetings, but one was DnD.
What are we drawing? Horses, boobs or cats arses?
Change it hourly ?!
Yeah. I’m up for that as long as you’re the MC and it doesn’t start too early. 👍
If I am MC 4:30 is likely
Oh shit. Up with the crack of the birds.
So draw that.
Did Kerry Greenwood get a book in the works before passing?
Shhhhh! Nobody tell my wife. That’s Christmas pressie fodder, that is!
She did. Was dictating to her Wizard. I believe there will be one more Corrina also.
I’m up for bad drawing club. What do we do?

The man went to get his script filled from a different chemist and he happened to have the last box with him (empty because he’d already taken that months worth) because he wanted to point out that he didn’t wanted these ones because the pills were too big.
The lady said “wait that box is not on this script but I’ll get the pharmacist”. The pharmacist then told him that these are the wrong blood pressure tablets and that they are 8× the dosage (he is on the lightest dosage). She took photos and escalated the complaint.
Now the original chemist has contacted him apologising profusely and wants him to come in for a check up. He wants to know what he can get for free because they tried to kill him.
I’ve said this before the man is a machine.
Has he been feeling dizzy or anything like that lately? That is alarming. Maybe you can get a big box of jellybeans.
No. No dizzy. No fainting. Maybe a bit more tired than usual but that’s cos he’s actually working more these days.
Fuck yeah it’s alarming considering he drives machinery.
tiredness can be a symptom
True but he averages 18000 steps a day but last 2 weeks he was doing around 25000 a day so it could be that too.
He got his shipment of chilli that he’s been high on so even if there were anymore symptoms he wouldn’t know it.
Stonefaced, ask for a handy.
They keep asking him if he’s had any bad reactions and he says “no”. I told him next time they ask, tell them you’ve been eating more icecream lately and you think your dick’s grown a few more inches and see what they say.
He should start reeling off pregnancy symptoms
Yessss!!!
I told him “tell them your wife plucked a long white hair that look like a cat whisker from your eyebrow today. Could that be a symptom?”.
Claim hairy palms
😂
Firstly, what a fucking legend.
Secondly, I’d be wanting a fuck tonne of stuff for almost killing me.
shopping basket in the pharmacy
BTC shopping would be a dream come true.
Sky pretty
day 4 of a different eye shadow every day, it’s been cool so far
i haven’t hit the crazy colours like lime green yet …lol
Oooh, I didn’t know this was a thing we’re doing! Can I join in?! I love eyeshadow, the sparkly-er the better!!
You are very welcome to join in. :)
Today I did very sparkly gold with a green bronze eyeliner
and I just do this kind of thing periodically might be earrings or clothes or whatever, music or movies I have, I have to wear or use every one of them
Fabulous! I’ve got a slightly pink chunky glitter I bought back from Japan that’s part of a palette. I like this idea of this forcing me to reach for the ones I don’t often use.
chunky pink glitter sounds awesome :D
So I’ve had a slow creep of weight in the last couple of years, and though it’s not super excessive it’s the heaviest I’ve been and not a trend I want to continue. Gonna try and reduce the snacking and cook some lower calorie foods for a while. Also gonna attempt some fitness improvement, but I’m a pretty sedantry person so need to start gentle. If anyone has recommendations for apps or youtubers etc for beginner fitness would love any tips.
Edit: love all these great recommendations, thankyou all!
I’ve been using this calisthenics program for surgery recovery/rehab. It starts at a pretty easy level with progressions as you get fitter. A friend said I was looking musclier the other day but it’s probably the weight loss.
On YT I like “Chloe Ting” and “Move with Nicole” for other good workout vids. Girls and Boys muscles are pretty similar and when I watch female exercise youtubers I don’t get incel algo spam with it.
I walk to one park, do a workout set, walk to the next park and do the other set and then home. I do that twice a day on the dog walks.
Walking is very effective, low impact, the weather is (usually) better for this now. Work up to 10,000 steps a day. Good luck!
Also an interval walk consisting of 3 minutes of fast walking followed by 3 minutes of slow walking, repeated until 30 minutes is reached, can be effective
make sure you have very good shoes and never exercise/walk through pain. “No pain, no injuries.”
That’s good advice. I’m pretty lucky, no current injuries. Just need to work on getting started!
I used to do a lot more walking in the past due do different location and job, maybe that’s part of the problem, less incidental exercise. Will be getting out there once the weather clears!
Try out the stuff geared at rehab and oldies as it’s gentler, and really watch the potential for injuries.
Go for core strength first as it will really help.
Pilates is a lot more supported than yoga and doesn’t necessarily require much more equipment but classes are more expensive.
Also swimming might be an option? Low impact exercise. (Though I hate bathing suits and changing rooms)
Cherry tomatoes make great snacking foods, and baby cukes too. Also nourishing.
yum :)
And you can dip them.
Depends a lot on your personality; some people are successful with dramatic dietary shifts - I had success just straight switching to keto 7ish years ago, and it helped me drop 42kg over ~18 months. But I know for others such a drastic shift can be too over-whelming and smaller changes snowballing over time have worked better.
I’m pointing this out to begin with, because that there is no one-size-fits-all solution; everyone’s path is going to be a little bit different - and it comes down to your individual relationship with food.
Weight loss is ultimately all about one thing; a caloric deficit. Work out what your Total Daily Energy Expenditure is (there are heaps of calculators online), start tracking your calories using an app like MyFitnessPal or Cronometer (at least initially, until you get a feel for it), and find a way to comfortably, sustainably maintain a caloric deficit.
Exercise is a great booster, but you can’t put-exercise a bad diet. Focus on the food first, and slowly add in exercise gradually over time. Walks are a great way to get some sunshine, fresh air, and catch up on your favourite podcasts or audiobooks.
drastic dietary change here
found out I am allergic to milk and to yeast a few months ago ( can’t even have vegemite and right now my lips and tongue are on fire from having one piece of bread )
no cheese, yoghurt, butter, milk, ice cream, or anything made with above, including chocolate
no breads or vegemite,
I haven’t tested beer yet , this is the worst, I love beer
it’s really hard, I have stopped buying so much , have changed how I cook but I still have some occasionally, it just causes reactions
Well done, this sounds really tough!
Congrats on the 42kg! I only need to shift about 10 to get back to my regular weight. Just want to get on top of things before it keeps going in the wrong direction. I think drastic or strict diet is not sustainable for me, I think a general overall reduction in calories will be the goal.
I agree with SaneMartigan about the Hybrid Calisthenics, Hampton is really good with motivation and encouragement for all levels of ability. I’ve been using an app called FitOn which has heaps of free on demand content to try, everything from quick 5 minute routines to lengthier total body workouts. There are some fabulous trainers on there who are super encouraging and I’ve been using it for about 3 months and loving it.
Look at Tom’s Guide. Their articles will often have YouTube links. There’s something for everyone.

These look great
My starting point was walking to the shops with a small backpack to get that night’s tea. There’s no room for snacks that way.
When the dog takes me for a walk I still take my backpack and I put weights in there.
Good luck.
Do you like yoga? Yoga with Adriene is good and there’s lots of levels (on YouTube)
Will check it out.
There’s also chair yoga which you can do seated
Something that worked for me in the beginning was to stop eating when I was full.
That made a big difference when I was trying to lose weight.
Just got back from the bellarine.
Looking at the new Mcmansion build going up next door:
Oops! shouldn’t laugh but lol.
They’ve got a swimming pool!
lol. So the ‘real’ swimming pool they’re doing is on the right near that concrete corner which is probably 1.5 metres deeper than what you see currently. It’s clay heavy soil so there’ll be a lot of swearing on wednesday heh.
Hoping that doesn’t become next door’s problem. Looks damn close
In-ground pool! Maybe they’ll let you use it if you ask nicely
Free mud bath and clay mask :)
I took a big bag of stuff to the opshop. 👍 I have sorted it all out now, only 2 bags to take now.
and I came home with a set of 3 small nicely framed prints of seascapes. 👍 I did an image search and they are by Konstantin Volantis, the Turner of Greece and painted Circa 1870s . They are lovely and tell a story. One is of traditional boat maintenance . Another is fishermen in a squall, the last is of the market in a small fishing village, probably the village he grew up in. I’m imagining these pictures hanging up in the home of Greek immigrants ( who I assume came in the 50s or 60s, like my parents came from Europe too ) and for them they would have evoked memories of Greek places and pride in modern artistic heritage. I will love them too. :)
Is this NSFW Dirty Monday or what? Cos I’m ready to listen.
Okay dayum I am sucked into Boulet Brothers Dragula show 😂 I’m gonna have to keep this Shudder sub so I can watch this new season airing at the moment.
Gosh the contestants are so dramatic and messy, so talented and fantastic performers, it’s my new favourite show. The comebacks and witty remarks they have are just fucking killing me, like all of them have to go to the burn ward. But the show is so inclusive, all queers who are into horror drag are welcome regardless of identity. It’s such a great performance and reality show, I love my trash.
You should track down and watch Orgy Of The Dead by Ed Wood. I wish a service like Shudder acquired the rights and just turned it into an annual burlesque variety show. The premise has such great potential.
OOOOOOO I’ll check it out thank you for the recc 🙏💜
He has showered. He has not seen the new ducks. starting count down…
I get to pick the Spotify playlist today, taking into account that there’s 2 other people on the floor, although one can’t hear the radio from her desk. Hmmm, the possibilities!!!
I’m working from home and my motivation is essentially non existent. I have two (maybe 3 tasks) that I’ll complete within the hour and then just be ‘present’ on teams for the rest of the day.
At least I can curate my own tunes :)
Yeah, my motivation is the same. Physically, I showed up for work and that’s enough for today.
With early 2000s Euro Trance for the music, will change if there’s any complaints!
If your coworkers don’t like DJ Scooter, they’re just wrong.
Next Sat is the launch of the last ever Miss Fisher novel. Do come support Kerry’s Wizard/Wombat
Will be there.
Yay! Nice to meet you
Looking forward to it. Grief that this is the last, but I reckon Kerry herself would thoroughly endorse celebrating the occasion.
Her Wake was very much i that attitude . Life well lived.
