Alright, Veggies are in. Toddler consumed minimal dirt. Call that a win.
There’s a very quick gap of them putting everything in their mouths to “I’m not eating that food you have lovingly prepared”. Sometimes they do overlap.
Toddlers 🤝 Cats
Hahaha. That’s about right.
Bit of dirt builds a healthy immune system.
A particular ball of floof doesn’t wanna play today.
Mickey wishes you all a really awesome Monday!
Oh Monday you’re so fine
You’re so fine
You blow my mind
Hey MondayI love his little face, such a snuggle bug 😍
Just got a call for an interview next week from a job that closed a month ago. I’d assumed they didn’t want me and moved on. Job hunting is so weird.
Oooh, good luck!!
🤞
I just saw a crested pigeon. I couldn’t think what it was called so I googled “pigeon with a mohawk”. I also saw a fairy wren the other day too. Beautiful birds.
Punk pigeons! They also squeak when they fly, which is very entertaining
By the time I got my phone out, fucked around with the fingerprint, aimed and shot, ended up with a nice photo of the power pole and the neighbour’s house.
#3 has a nice front garden.
Whoops.
and they are natives 🥰
One of my colleagues brought their 10 month old King Charles Cavellier to the (very quiet) office all day today. Got many pats and licks. I miss living with dogs 😞
nice day outside, got some errands and then I might have a look at some art stuff/paper/books :)
might look at some new printers too , the last one just wore out
also, Ted chose to sleep in his stroller last night. It must be a safe place for him, which is good. :)
Also keeps Bill out of it I suspect.
I think this is what is happening.
Melbcat loved to sleep in her stroller, whether the capsule was up in the frame or by itself.
The capsule to the current one became, ahem, unfit for use but she has boxes with blankets and cutout portholes
Edit: hey they do sell twin strollers
This is hilarious. Twin stroller next?
I’m done with this uni course in two days. Kind of wild. Might get donuts from nearby to celebrate the end of a pretty miserable chapter :) and onto the next
Aw yeaaaa you’re smashing it! Begone, foul course!
Congrats though it’s a weird feeling when you’ve done it but you did it!
I think you did very well. You completed the course , that’s not nothing. 🍾🥂 here’s some champers 😘😘😘
Logged into my email and teams this morning just to check. Manager said, to log off and enjoy my day.
Ps5, music and cat cuddles it is!
Edit: Playing titanfall 2 atm, brings back so many memories. Multiplayer is surprisingly still alive.
freakin LOVED titanfall 2. Probably the best shooter of the last 10 years.
Yeah man I gotta say, it beats any other except maybe doom 2016.
Fluid movement, great guns and the multiplayer is fucking amazing!
🔵How does it feel
💙to treat me like you do?
🦋When you’ve laid your hands upon me
🌀And told me who you are
Its monday and i still have a whooole weekend to go w00t w00t
Working Monday to Friday here 🥲
Time off in lieu or sweet sweet holiday pay?
2.5x pay
Niiiice. And in time for Christmas
I’ll take it. Four day weekend would’ve been lovely though
As someone who transitioned from public holiday pay to an office based role that gives me the day off… I miss the extra $$. It was a nice little boost.
Some fuck has been flying a quad-copter over my place for a few months now. I want to build an RF jammer thing but it’s a $1.5 million or up to 8 years in prison penalty :( My only option is to convince the resident magpie to take it out.
They are so annoying, aren’t they? I get DoorDash drones flying over my place, I absolutely hate them. Door Dash claims they are really quiet and fly high enough they are not annoying, but I am regularly being annoyed by the sound so that claim is obviously rubbish.
Is flying the quad-copter over your place not illegal?
+1 to the magpie taking it out.
I thought it was. I think it’s a racing FPV drone. Noise is basically like a giant mosquito.
Slingshot?
That’s a $47k fine right there or up to 2 years in the slammer :(
Still thinking about that option. Place backs on to a lot of uninhabited empty space so no one would be at risk.
You’re not even allowed a potato gun or a glove gun… damn.
Got any garden stakes? How good is your throwing arm?
hehe what a throw love that.
Oh shit, I’ve got a potato gun. Seriously, are those things illegal? 😧😳
Oh man idk, I’m getting conflicting info
If it’s so strict I wonder what the ruling would be on those salt guns made for shooting flies. Those seem silly btw. Just a matter of time before someone gets salt propelled in their eyes
After reading a bit, I think it’s based on whether it uses combustion as propulsion of the potato missile, whether it obviously looks to be a kids toy, whether it has potential to cause bodily harm or is over a certain size. Was a very entertaining read!
I wonder about net guns. That would certainly make a drone fall out of the air.
Ahaha, spud gun was my first thought, too.
very powerful hose?

some panda bear
Extreme pollen again tomorrow and then 35 degrees on Wednesday. I should do all of my errands today but I seem to be moving very slowly.
Oh jeez. Just spoke to (78yo) mum and she had another fall. Last one was 2 weeks ago going down 2 stairs. She’s just not stable on her feet and her vision is poor. Main thing I’m worried about are hip and head injuries.
I’m going to have to convince her to wear a fall detection device which will be a difficult convo. I succeeded convincing her to give up driving (when I’m looking) but it just feels like I’m robbing independence / making her feel old.
I’m sorry to hear. It’s often a difficult conversation that doesn’t always end the way you want it to.
You’re also trying to protect her from having a horrible accident without a means for someone to get to her in time as well.
I hope things go ok for you.
Thank you. I think I’m just going to try and reduce tripping hazards when I see them and work out how to do that conversation.
Please have her get a full check up. Falls are a symptom of something else going on 99% of the time. My mum reluctantly agreed to wear a Live Life alarm around 18 months ago, and she wears it daily. I can check her location, and when she fell while out at a bbq Saturday night it alerted me and my brother. We had a quick chat with her through the pendant, and all was good. My MIL on the other hand refuses to wear hers, and spent a night outside after a fall. ETA: if she’s accessed My Aged Care, she might be able to get one for no cost through a program called GEAT to Go.
and spent a night outside after a fall
Gawd that’s awful.
And thank you kindly I’m going to look into that.
I can’t tell you how shit it made all of us feel. Ultimately it is and was her choice, but I’m on her ass every day now to wear it. We don’t care about the false alarms (they do happen) but I’d rather 400 of them than that phone call from her neighbours again.
At least my mum has the brains to wear it and she even said it gives her security and the ability to get out and about, and all she has to do is push a button for help.
You might find this resource helpful: Falls Prevention
If she isn’t already using My Aged Care, get that process started as soon as possible.
Thank you for that, that’s a great suggestion.
Hope it goes ok…I know how hard it can be, as I went through this with my mum and OH did with his, too. MOL (mother-out-law) had emergency services break in one time when she collapsed and was unresponsive. Lucky the cleaner found her in time.
It was also very lucky that neither of them injured anyone (or themselves) by driving when no longer competent.
Can’t decide on a horsie tomorrow? Let me and my trusty darts and blindfold help you. Theres 24 to choose from. You say go and I’ll shoot for one. Giddy up.
I’d like the horsies to have their own party in a nice field where they can chill out with delicious grass. Maybe a sneaky horse cocktail.
Some horsies love the thrill of the chase. That’s why some are called race horses and some are called paddock horses.
Go…
Thank you muchly.
That’s actually the one I’m going for tomorrow. Hahaha.
I have no idea who is even running!
Me neither until I turn the little notes over 😂
Am I too late for one? GO!! (please)
Lucky number 5
Oooh. Thank you! Cool name. What’s the jersey like though?!
Looks to be white with blue and white stripe sleeves. Nice.
trusty darts and blindfold help you
Don’t hang that board next to a gas line and don’t ask me why I know.
Oh shit!!!
It’s sitting on a chair near the front door. I swear the cushion only got stabbed once but the dog keeps getting close.
Can I interest you in a shot?
You score 100 if you get the dog….
It’s gonna cost more at the vet. 😔
It’s only a risk if the dog deflates.
Yeah he’s a tough dog. He’ll yelp but he still won’t get out the way.
I’m in. Go!
Edit: In the name of name Deadpool and Wolverine.
Let’s fucking go!
I bullseyed that one.
*The Map
Odds for The Map are 51 dollars. Going to win it rich!
It’s been done before.
OK GO!
This one has been scratched - failed the vet check
Yeah that’s why I shot again. So far that’s the only one.
You want me to shoot for you?
Yes please. I don’t usually bet on the cup but this is too too tempting. Let the darts decide!
My daughter’s throwing this one for you. Could be awhile.
Oooh, I like it! Very appropriate for a racehorse.
Probably one of the best music videos ever
Especially considering they did it with next to no budget. Maybe I’m just getting nostalgic because I turn 30 this week, but it feels like the internet has gotten much flashier and fancier when it comes to “viral” videos these days.
Well I think it’s the creativity and genuine effort that that people respond to…eventually
Happy Birthday 🥳
Cheers mate ☺️
I think that one has been scratched. Not a good start for you. Don’t worry I’ve chosen again.
*P.S. The kid doesn’t understand scratched. I should’ve explained to her.
Ok thanks. $100 for win.
Double or nothing?
(I’ll have another throw)
Hey Ceo.
Have you drawn a horse for yourself?
I like #2 Buckaroo but fairs fair and I shot
Which I think is another favourite.
I’ll take one please
👌 your first beer on Friday is on me if she comes in
Hahaha. Pony up my friend
hey, let’s have a go. :)
and I’ll put a tenner on to win or place
Each way? You courageous soul.
Cool. 🥰
👍
Why not, not like it’s actually gambling or anything (which I’m mostly hopeless at)… GO!
Thankyou. If my MIL runs a sweep tomorrow I’ll pick that one.
Winner!
I don’t even know who’s running. Go!
Let’s find out
Thanks! 🐎
May your horse come in!
