Resting in bed today and watching movies, got a sore back to heal
Hope you’re on the mend soon. What movies are you watching?
So far I’ve watched Out of Africa with commentary. then it will be The Road, and then High noon
Time to respawn the gratitude thread?
Yesterday I spoke to someone at uni and had a good chat. I have sat with her and a few other people in class, but I keep forgetting to ask for their names. Seeing as next week is the last class, I might ask if we can all keep in touch considering most of us would be graduating. Or I can never see them again hehe
The sunshine! Went for a walk to the shops just now and it was lovely. A far cry from yesterday’s ice wind.
I’m grateful for this lovely sunshine that makes everything better. And for volunteer projects that are giving me a bit of purpose and fulfilment while I’m job hunting.
Instant pot pulled pork. So yum
Edit: Specifically this one https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-pulled-pork/
Definitely the sunshine today. Took the deck chair for a little bit and sat out there for awhile.
Got surprisingly warm sitting in the sun after awhile.
The school Elder goes to, his awesome therapist, this glorious sunny day and my boss for being flexible with my hours while I try and sort stuff out 😆
I’ve taken a week off work and it’s finally nice weather. Gardening time!
I feel like I want to treat myself to a meal or something this week.
I’ve been doing so much home cooking to save on costs it’s actually been ages since I had a meal out.
I do look at a lot of reviews and photos of food at cafe but with the increased cost most of it seems to be a very poor way to spend money.
On the other hand I’m awfully tempted to try out Marlo’s Schnitzel maybe or purchasing a mystery pizza.
Yes, mystery pizza, you pay for it for a reduced cost but you don’t actually know what you’re going to get till you pick it up.
It’s an initiative to save on wasting food and ingredients.
Oops. Yeah Marko’. Stupid auto correct.
I just want somewhere local in the area without really travelling out of my way when I go to and from Southland later in the week.
I could alternatively pick up a chicken schnitzel sandwich from my local around the corner. They were pretty cheap and didn’t skimp on the salads I asked for.
avo pizza on south near nepean intersection used ot do a fuckin’ great parm, but i think they changed hands so can no longer vouch.
BigPig is a couple mins walk off chesterville, so depending on your route could be on the way. Also morris moor, fat bobs, and a couple other fun places around chesty
I could go back to my good old usual Cool Bean Kitchen.
Love their burgers there.
Astroluxe near the postie has started doing parma nights too
Watsonias punching it!
Dosed them up with a lot of potassium a few weeks ago and with the watering system in (which I’m so very glad I did that, has taken a lot of stress out of things) they’re loving it.
They look amazing! I need to get a watering system, keep forgetting to water the plants
Beautiful. Bananas or chook poo?
Bananas attached to pizza :(
Oh bag o’ cans Oh bag o’ cans You bring me shiny money 🎶
cans and bottles bring me shiny moneys, other cans go into another bag for a mate who takes them up to the local scrap recyclers. Apparently it’s paying for his enby kid’s boob job.
Drinking on Friday night’s earns me pocket money. Win win. Ching ching.
Morning all. Baku is still active on Reddit so I have forwarded him the post from yesterday with your messages :)
Ah, a sign of the times that the Tenants Victoria call line goes straight to “we are experiencing a higher than usual call volume and cannot help you” right after pressing the numbers to get assistance as a private renter. Guess I’ll have to spam call over and over
E: managed to get through to a really lovely lady, unfortunately it’s really unclear as to whether VCAT would consider that “market rates” include REA fees de jure (even though they very much do de facto). But it’s worth trying to appeal anyway, I guess. Gotta do what I can 🤷
E2: appeal lodged. I’m really not confident I’ll get a rent reduction but ah well. Not fussed about souring the relationship with LL when they were the ones who pulled the dick move anyway. I don’t want to move and be locked into a year long contract when I’ll leave by June. Might look at slowly getting rid of my stuff (and plants…) in the new year and see if I can go stay with a friend or extended family member for cheap in the last couple months and leave this place earlier, if possible.
If you need somewhere to stash your plants for a bit if it gets tricky, more than happy to help out there :)
Thanks mate. Chances are once I leave I’m gonna have a fresh start and I’ll give the established stuff away, and turf the rest. Let’s see if I can rejuvenate these curry leaf plants, they’re probably the biggest buggers on the balcony. Could sell em on possibly.
I’m so sorry that’s happened, it totally sucks that they can increase the rent so much in one go. Hope the appeal is successful in at least reducing the increase a bit
😔

Where’s the potato and batter mate? Left at the side? Still on the truck?
And what’s with the oranges?
This is rapidly becoming a 2/5 service.
Orange chips. Sliced oranges dried to crispiness. You will eat what the Truck provides.

Let’s see if I’m stupid enough to stay up and watch the Aussie T20 Women play at 1am against NZ.
I’m going to be so wrecked if I stay up for the whole thing.
Have you managed to stay up to watch it?
I only made it till about 2:30am at the end of the Aussie innings :(
Good night everyone. Sweet dreams. 😘
I’m wearing a cat on my face. Guess it’s cold this morning.
Thank fuck I have pom skin on mornings like today.
translucent like a cave dwelling fish?
Looking like a cave dwelling fish I’ll take with pride as a former Brit, they’re probably prettier. Translucent though, I wish.
