Another scorcher today Melburnios 🔥
We’ve been invited to a wedding but the reception joint was set on fire last night. Interesting. More to come…
well this is a letter I have never read on Miss Manners
😂 I’m interested to see what happens next.
Dear Miss Manners, Our reception joint caught on fire. Is it alright to convene at the local pub?
I shoulda known better than to hire a place named “The Sopranos”.
Themed fancy dress in the car park? Play is that s as fireperson or a stripper?
I suppose it’d be too much to assume it was an act of god or a natural disaster?
I doubt it
Which God and was the disaster prevented?
The answer to both are Take your Pick.
I wonder what illegal shit they were selling. Or do you think it was a dissatisfied customer?
Well apparently both the Thomastown and Thornbury fires are linked and have something to do with a boxing match that was to be held.
Age article Hope this works - have had little luck posting links recently. Lemme know if it doesn’t work.
Yes it did work. Thank you very much.
Home from pub. Those margaritas are fully dangerous, even without the coriander. House was 28 deg inside on entry, have opened all the windows and watched the thermometer drop 5 degrees in as many minutes. I may yet be able to sleep tonight. Tho I suspect the margaritas will help.
margs sound nice 🍹
Mango is my favorite. Closely followed by watermelon.
Heh…

Chives are $5 extra at a restaurant easy.
That’s a $15 plate right there sans chives.
Cool change is here 🎉
I have secured a date with the God Emperor in March.
Bless the maker and his water.🪱
I was sleeping ok until someone came into my room asking if they should stay home from school today. We need to have another talk about not disturbing mother unless there’s a fire. 😡
-starts fire-
mum can i stay home today
She doesn’t need permission to stay home. She gets the guilts for having a sickie.
We must find who gave her these guilts and sit on them
Don’t worry I’ve already had the talk with her about not being one of those people. She can wfh today, no big deal.
Not me wondering why aircons aren’t minimum standards for all rentals. Cat threw up four times last night because she just can’t cope.
When the cat can’t cope, there’s a big fucking problem - they’re desert animals!

Indeed! I was shocked too when I found out - turns out their fur is light enough that it acts as insulation against both heat and cold, which is impressive. That’s why they don’t drink much water straight up - they evolved to pull moisture from their food instead
Summer is only 3 months of the year. Having said that, my investment property has an aircon and ducted heating.
Alas mate, that three months is dangerous for both people and animals. When it comes down to it, having one quarter of the year being unlivable is not remotely reasonable.
Glad though you have your investment property properly set up for all seasons, imo that should be the standard across Australia, not the exception.
Summer is defined as three months of the year.
March and april get into the 30’s easily
Just a quick reminder that Saturday (and every February 24) is International Coriander Hatred Day for those of us who celebrate it.
Fuck coriander 🖕
I feel sorry for the soap people.
Losing the genetic lottery is just unfair.
Tastes like soap to me, but I still eat it idc haha
That’s the spirit!
Embrace nature’s imperial leather :)
I do and I don’t. I do because there’s a chance they could’ve liked it but I don’t because it’s terrible anyway.
I shall have a giant bowl of something Thai to memorialise you.
I prefer to put it on my food.
How do I know if I have the gene? Coriander tastes slightly bitter to me.
Can you be indifferent to coriander? I neither like it or hate it.
Kind of happy to be spending the day in hospital just for the air-conditioning! Poor housemate was cranking the evaporative cooling as I was walking out the door.
Cat has gone back to sleep… meanwhile I’m struggling to stay awake and work.
Fingers crossed the weather isn’t too nasty today, worried about fire more than power outages
I forgot to water the plants all of yesterday because I was in the shittest mood/energy so when I greeted them this morning I felt a wave of resentment radiating from their wilted leaves. I will promise to give them a supplemental water as needed today.
This motherfucker is just growing like there’s no tomorrow though, ever since I put it in a pot with a water reservoir. Time for a big chop tomorrow, freeze the leaves for use over winter, hopefully the new growth will stabilise over the next couple months.
healthy boi
I really want some rain so I don’t have to water…. Tank is nearly empty too.
ooh lush curry leaf
Is $1500 reasonable for a conveyancer? Via the www.home-in.com.au portal.
Does that include all the certificates etc that they need to order as part of the process? If not, that price is a couple of hundred dollars too high. Shop around.
No homebrand soft drinks for a hot day :(
I found that too! I live near both a Coles and a Woolies and checked them both out. Nothing.
Don’t know what’s going on, not sure if I should go out of my way to check another store tomorrow.
Hi there! I know it’s been a week but I just read this and thought of you, so I thought I’d share. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-01/supermarket-shelves-empty-soda-water-soft-drinks-co2-shortage/103532172?utm_source=abc_news_web&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_web
Edit: my original source was news dot com (ugh) but Thornbury witch posted this one so I swapped it out.
About to get up a ladder and clean some gutters but…
Spoke to the old man last night and was reminding me about the ambulance vic subscription.
Then he decided to tell me about one of his buddies who recently had a fall off a ladder.
Apparently he fell backwards and his leg got caught between 2 steps quite high up, leg snapped in half and he was just dangling there until his wife found him an hour later.
Fucking nightmare fuel really bad timing.
yeah I wouldn’t get up there in this wind. Fuck that
Mega cudos to the roof plumber who [temp] fixed our shit in the big storm last Hols!
Ouch. People do get very blase about ladders and disregard the risks involved. It’s also something that people insist on doing when they become too old to do so safely (like driving). Stubborn old men who insist on climbing on the roof are a fairly frequent category of rescue the Fire Brigade go to, when said stubborn old main realises they can’t get down again or have a medical episode from the exertion of climbing up.
Apparently the stats for men over 50 falling off ladders are quite startling. If you are under 50, then maybe you’ll be OK …

That reminds me Brunswick Original Kippers on sale for $2 a tin at woolworths for the next week.
