Good gig last night. Speaker rig was one of the more impressive ones I’ve heard for DnB, pretty much custom built for the genre. Pretty rare to hear it that loud with clarity which was nice.
Shitload of security though. Probably a legal requirement, but there were security dudes standing on boxes in each corner just watching the d-floor. Not really the sort of music that attracts trouble but I guess it’d make a few people feel safer.
Got home at about 1:30am to hambam sitting at the front door waiting for me with sad eyes :( Felt bad so cooked him up some mince to make it up to him.
Edit: and he’s been staring at me all morning:
Such a glorious beast! I think DnB has a bad reputation. Or maybe they were expecting something else? IDK.
Goodnight all ❤️
I thumbtacked it to see how it looks before I start building rails.
I reckon it looks nice. This house is devoid of decoration so it’s nice to have something up.
Edit: I just realised that temu order was my first ever online purchase. Damn I’ve been out of the loop lol
ee massive.
This place isn’t the nicest man, and I’m here a lot. It Defs needed some colour.
I’ve got a bunch of other canvas prints as well I’m going to put up. It adds a bit of life to this place.
landscapes are awesome , you can look in them and lose yourself
Wow. Looks great and it’s big!
Hello! Been a little while since I posted, I was o/s for a couple of weeks. Got back yesterday and slowly adjusting to normal life again.
Woke up before sunrise as I was asleep by 9pm last night, completely totalled from the flight home (got the row behind the loud & crying toddler, lucky me). Still not feeling 100% though, there’s a big sleep debt to catch up on. Have been tackling some life / business admin and washing this morning. Then will go for a walk to bask in the winter sunshine and need to fill my very empty fridge with food.
Petrol is jumping in price, you might fill up on the cheap still.
I do hope @tone212_ is not filling up their fridge with petrol …
Welcome back, hope you had a wonderful time and aren’t suffering from jet lag at the moment.
Welcome back to a cold Melbourne!
Happy National Meat Pie Day 🥧
I’m cooking Dutch stew - does that count?
Yeah
It’s technically crustless meat pie, I guess 😬
I don’t make the rules.
Alright! Downstairs are fine to start paying for my car parks they’re using (I have two car parks, and have been letting my downstairs neighbour use them for free for ~2 years).
But if/when I get a job, I’ll lower or cancel the payment altogether.
But at least if things take a little time, my rent increase will be covered lol
I’m glad that worked. Every little bit of breathing room is good
It’s a bit of a relief tbh! They were very thankful for the time they got it for free, which I think helped breaking the news lol, and payment won’t start until August, so there’s time. 😅
I’m thankful the rent increase isn’t awful! I’m quite lucky to have a REA that is real nice and chill - nicest RE I’ve ever dealt with!
One day I will manage to bake without creating a flour bomb. Today is not that day.
At least you have a go at it.
I really do try! The bloody stuff always Houdinis on me anyway.
Had outing to Bunnings and Officeworks today 💸 Both Minipeelers like drawing, especially Miniest, and it was time for some new textas and sketchpads and stuff. Needed some plumbing supplies and I bought myself a hanging fern for the bathroom. I really love it, it adds so much life to the room and looks really cool. Somehow I managed to fit in a book, The Community by Christine Gregory. More crime lol, this time set in a small Australian country town. I was lucky in that this one was a real page turner, and the characters were diverse and interesting and kind of familiar.
Pantry is cleaned and scrubbed and rearranged. I did not actually find much evidence of pantry moths larvae so it’s all still a bit of a mystery. But I threw out some old stuff and some stuff that might’ve been eaten a bit. Luckily most things are already in jars. It’s neat and clean now though. Time for a shower and dinner.
I still haven’t dealt with the ones I saw… they don’t seem to be around anymore though so maybe the cat ate them
Good melbcat. I am hoping this was just a freak incursion in something I bought recently. I really needed the push to do a clean out so that’s good
My useless talent is being able to listen to a song, in pretty much any language, and be able to sing along to the chorus after a few listens. It always shocks my partner, which pleases me.
What’s your useless talent? Discuss.
Bonus question: what’s your favourite non-English language song?
I’m pretty much ambidextrous. It’s sounds more useful that it actually is, although I can write with my non-dominant hand if the other hand is occupied
estimating the time of day
I can usually tell within a few minutes
also estimating how long things take to do
I’m pretty good at guesstamating measurements. I’ll measure whatever it is I’m guessing up against the real thing and I’m usually spot on.
I’m good at knots. It has very little real-world application. But if you need to lash sticks together to make dodgy camping furniture, or to make a long rope shorter without cutting it, hit me up.
Neunundneunzig Luftballoons is a banger.
I love knots also! The best thing about them isn’t learning how to do them, but figuring out what the right knot for the occasion is.
In my weeaboo days I used to love listening to Japanese language music. Somehow a hook / chorus in pop music transcends understanding the language. It actually helped me learn some Japanese.
I can wiggle my little toes without moving the others. Taught myself after reading Dune as a teen and misunderstanding a line.
Engel or Coisich A Ruin or Agolo. … all too different to pick one
Sounds more like a Kill Bill reference to me haha
Oh? I’ve somehow managed to never see that.
Long story short: Uma Thurman breaks her paralysis by first wiggling a single toe, before going on a revenge killing spree that spans two entire movies. Feet and Revenge = Tarantino
Look south. Geomagnetic storm is here. (Try again later tonight if there is nothing)
Try with phone or real camera if your eye cannot see it

imma gonna look
Updating my diary and playing with stickers and coloured pens while playing music. Good way to spend a Sunday night. Bought some packs of random Mofusand stickers and I absolutely love them.
Thanks for reminding me. I’m supposed to be writing regularly in my diary.
salmon and eggs on toast for brekkie. dogs walked. market marketed. fire going. soup bubbling away. roast veggie lasagne baking. feeling pretty satisfied that I can just…potter around for the rest of the day.
You’re doing good!
Would you have any soup to spare, by any chance? I was hoping for a bowl of Vietnamese noodley goodness from chef, but the witch told me to Pho off, it’s all hers.
No reason why you can’t have your own bowl, just keep your mitts out of MINE! (it’s too good to share)
you know what, my wife had actually made a batch of pho stock! She has a cheats recipe that is actually pretty passable…
It’s such a nice feeling getting the things done early then relaxing. I’ve been tackling life admin today and about to start some batch cooking
Just had a nice little gaming session with my friend who currently is sick with COVID.
Been awhile since we’ve played a game together and we just talked on the long e while doing it.
Tough to find time to do these things these days.
This dog cracks me up. Yesterday, I saw him lower his arse down on the remote control which was sitting on the floor, it lights up and changed the channel. No paws were used.
Today he tried to barge into the YL’s room (he stands on his hind legs and pushes) but it’s shut properly so he slid down sideways clawing at it as he goes down. Repeat.
