Youse were all good sports with “show me your drawers” yesterday. It goes to show the cutlery drawer can be organised but that other one with the kitchen gadgets is a lot harder due to the different shaped shit in there.
That’s why I like this Joseph Joseph garlic crusher I bought. It’s a kitchen gadget, but it’s just a curved but of stainless steel. It doesn’t take up much space and it can’t break compared to other kitchen stuff you can buy
I like that.
We doin sock drawers next?
That sounds like fun.
I vote for the dreaded “pot cupboard” next. Some fancy people have pot racks. Us savages just make do with every small pot and pan stacked on top of every larger pot and pan
Our Pot Drawers are like the worse game of Tetris anyone has ever played. At least our Pots and Frypans are all round(ish) and can stack. Our baking dishes and casseroles are all different shaped oblongs and round rectangles. Our “Tupperware” cupboard is impossible to keep organised due to the hodge-podge collection of different designs of Tupperware, Sistema, Decōr and random brands of plastic containers that have collected over the years.
Stack your small pots in the bigger pots. Small pot lid upside down, big lid on top.
I don’t have a sock drawer :( they just live on the floor.
I don’t really ever put my clothes away. I dress simple and don’t have anything fancy, so it just gets washed, put in a basket, then left on top of my dresser or sometimes in the corner of my bedroom. Then I just grab and go
I do put everything away but I just end up wearing the same things nearly everyday anyway. Just grab what ever’s on top. 🤷🏻♀️
You’re less of a chaotic mess than me 😁
I vote for the pantry if it’s not too personal.
I missed all the show me your drawers, show me your art stuff yesterday. Damn it, I had some good interesting art too.
Edit: oh, you’re still deciding. Just ignore me, I’m catching up on this thread sorted from “oldest” just ignore me lol.
No worries. Show when you’re ready.
For some reason Jerboa (which is usually running fine for me) is not letting me post pictures, I’m getting a display timeout msg, so I’ve got to use my browser.
I vote posting artwork or photography on your wall next. Slightly more interesting innit?
Sure. Would you like me to start the movement?
Doo iit.
Can’t do most my mine on that. Both faces & NSFW
Oh now I’m intrigued and insist you post something. Even if you have to blur some faces.
Hope you don’t mind pointy things…
Just been freaked out with some loud noises on or in the roof.
Hope it only on top. I’ve had enough of possums invading the roof in the past.
Painted by my maternal grandmother (passed away ~25 years ago). View from their beachside Queenslander, looking past their old frangipani across Deception Bay to Bribie Island, QLD.
Thunderstorm approaching.
EDIT: looks like no actual rain is falling.
We got some rain in Eltham and South Morang on our drive home from Doncaster so it might hit yet
Looks like it’s going to miss me.
Trying to draw something just for this and it looks dogshit
Just post it. You won’t find a more supportive corner of the internet to show your work.
Maybe when it’s finished, there’s heaps to go
Ok
I’m sure it doesn’t, and I would love to see your work
(no pressure though)
The photo is one I took, and the painting belonged to my mum. It’s one of my favourites
Moody. I like it.
RUNS IN
This is a study of ‘Young Woman Braiding Her Hair’ by Renoir.
I ran out of time for her clothes and earring (plus the last few details) so you’re getting a tasteful unfinished nude.
The original
Really nice.! Thanks for posting this its lovely ☺️
Wow, that’s amazing, and done in such a short time! Thanks for sharing!
This is excellent melba!!
Thanks. I’m not fully happy with it but as it is I got in with like 15 minutes to spare
I love your painting! 😍 I kinda prefer her nude like that, as a kind of subversion of the original.
What a beautiful picture! I like that it’s unfinished, it leaves more to be suggested than explicitly stated. You’re really talented!
Something small I bought at the Vic markets about 20 years ago.
Edit: 2nd picture was part of a bunch of fantasy stuff that I purchased with my first pay check.

Ol’ girl painted this years ago. One of my faves.
I really like that one
Oh that’s just beautiful. I love the contrast of blue and orange, and the figures and their shadows. It’s spectacular! 😍
That’s fantastic! Your mum has a lot of talent
Oh, she’s GOOD
Agree with everyone else that is excellent. I get strong feelings from it
Wow, that’s really good! I absolutely love it - your family has so many talents!
It evokes so many questions.
I really love this, too.
Do you have any others in a similar style?
Sorry for the late reply. This is the only one she did like this. Was trying to get her to do more like it because a triptych sort of story thing would’ve been great.
I love this
Ever since toll decided to stop calling themselves toll and start calling themselves the global express team or whatever it is, I’ve noticed they’ve gotten a lot worse. I’d never have rated them great, but they used to have pretty detailed tracking, including a live location of the delivery driver (though I think delayed a bit for safety), and we’re good with communication. From memory they offered a 2 hour time slot on the deliveries I had as well
Now they just say that the label was created and the job booked, then the next update is just delivered. There is a map but it’s pretty useless, because it’s just a straight, as the crow flies map from the origin to the destination. Doesn’t even snap to the road they’d take, and it doesn’t even vaguely suggest a time, or number of stops before you. Useless
Toll was sold to Allegro Funds and rebranded as Team Global Express. Just capitalism at its finest: sell to the competition/buy the competition, rebrand so laypeople don’t catch on, and enshittify. Works 60% of the time, everytime.
It worked for Fastway/Aramex
Ugh, can you imagine how much the rebrand cost.
The majority of guitar content online is advertising.
Consumerism has left a wound in music making.
Edit: It’s my last weekend before going back to work and I refuse to go to bed till 4am.
Those rabbit holes are also how you end up on waiting lists for things to be available in AU and/or scouring for ways to get them to you.
So I don’t disagree with you.
Pre edits: the colour of that Gibson was stunning though yah?
Cheeky bugger!
Especially after the edits.
👀
Here’s my issue:
I’m tired of being marketed to. At every Junction. No, I don’t give 5 fucks that some new distortion pedal makes you sound like this person or that.
It’s the infection of capitalism in art. There’s nothing wrong with gathering the tools you need. But there’s a point at which you are no longer a creator, but a consumer of gear.
I’ve fallen to it in the past. Massive pedalboard. Every fancy new pedal. And for me, in the end, it was a hindrance more than anything.
I’m so utterly tired of being constantly being sold something. Where “content creators” are ad men in a new skin for a new era.
The faux excitement. The bullshit spiel about how this piece of whatever is going to make me x, y or z. Its all a scam.
There is a section of musicians that are basically gear collectors. It’s poison to the creative spirit. And I know how wanky that sounds.
Like I said. It’s a wound. And like any wound, it spreads an infection. The idea that without this thing or that, you can’t make the music you want to.
That you NEED this thing otherwise you’re missing out.
Fuck. That.
/Rant.
Same page mate, and to reply to all that properly would be an over a beer chat at a random local gig where none of that applies as people are being genuine and not like what you’ve described.
Sounds like cosmetic and weight loss products advertising for women. Over the years I have taken serious comfort by recalling Socrates’ comment when walking through the Athenian marketplace - ‘It’s wonderful how many things there are in the world that I neither need nor want’. A wise man.
Funny you say that, because I have a friend who’s fallen victim to advertising for beauty products. We walked into a makeup store, and suddenly she knows everything about every product, and all the claims that people have made about them. Scary shit.
Everytime i see this crap come up in my feed, I block the channel.

Replying to your edit and pfft, 4am is baby numbers. You’ve got a “oh shit the birds have stopped singing and and people are out jogging” night in you. I believe in you.
The mind is ready but the body is unwilling.
Did the body become willing?
Same with DIY. “You can repair this using just a screwdriver, file and hammer: here is how I did it with an industrial workshop of tools, sponsored by…”
Check out all the nangs someone had at the entrance to my fire escape. Packaging of a woolies mudcake (I hope), couple of beers, pink balloons (it's a girl!) and a whole damn box of spent nangs.
Epic, surprised I didn’t find a body tbh 😅😬
I love brunswick
Round springy they’re all about the nang tanks. I think it’s a rule that they get littered on the road too. Typing this on the dog walk and whaddya know :
Oh damn lol, like that Galaxy Gas brand being all like “iT’s FoR bAkInG hUrR dUrR”
Hah. Reminds me. When I went down the shops the other day, cause the arseholes did that thing they do where they close half the shopping centre and force people to walk around the outside, I had to walk through a bit of a seedy area. Bunch of shopping trolleys full of rubbish and stuff, a few tipped over. Nangs everywhere. A few needles. A few shops and loading docks had what I’d guess were about 4-5 metre tall fences complete with razor wire over the top around their bins
Also chose a bad way to walk back to the bus stop and ended up having to go past a group of 7-8 dodgy looking people who were 100% sizing me up
E: removed a small rant about Brunswick. Probably a bit unpopular here
Impressive collection lol
You sure they just didn’t want a lot of cream with their mudcake?
so warm and cat has been attacking my toes
Which cat’s this?
Ted Cat.
Oh, Ted. For shame.
I bought this when I was 17. It’s done by a Native American artist who I can’t remember the name of but I want to say she was Navajo?
I kind of regret framing it, because the texture was so nice…
Oh wow so cool, Ive never seen a framed one before.looks great!
