What a beautiful boy. How old is he now? Mr Woof (and a previous Madam Woof) started to get a bit quieter around 2-3 years.

Hey guys. Calling from Dunedin. I keep referring NZ as Shelbyville. Highlights so far: Lake Tekepo, Queenstown airport and the young dude who pointed out the copper one was "tin cints". Very hard not to laugh at the language barrier.

The reverb pedal is an absolute gem and so far I feel it was worth the cost.

Haven't tried the distortion pedal yet, saved it for today.

Band audition at 2pm and I went to bed at 3am lol. Time for more sleep.

Went well i think! Really nice people, wanting to do something different which is always cool!!!

Let's see how it plays out.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 7 months ago

that's great ๐Ÿ™‚

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 12 points 7 months ago (2 children)

This derro sounding lady has been in the alley last night and RIGHT NOW on the phone, yelling and ranting and raving ๐Ÿ˜‚ something about "those bloody Muslims", how "Bill is a cunt", and "Shelly can go get fucked".

Oooo "it's bloody bullshit" "I'm gonna go fuck myself then!?"

This is spicy

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

what the hell

I miss the days when people knew that bigotry was something to hide and be ashamed of, they knew it was antisocial.

well anyway derro lady can get fucked herself, we have laws protecting minorities from people like her

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

There's more!!! She seems to be ranting about how her story should be in the news or something? That all the agencies will be writing stories about her and what she's went through. This is littered with heaps of swears.

I can't tell if she's talking to an ex, a friend, or a company tbh

I don't think this lady would care about being antisocial now or back then. She dropped the word cunt 5 times will I typed these two sentences.

I'm just out here having a smoke and a coffee choosing to laugh at this

Wait... She hates trump! Who the fuck is this lady holy shit ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ She's completely lost it on trump and the wall - I can't breeeeeaaaathe

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

what does she want ...lol

The Wall!!!! She sounds like a Cooker who is totes sick of the bs and is leaving the cult , because no one else in Australia talks about that shit

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

She's on the phone! I don't know! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Someone to write her story? She keeps mentioning her story, I think she's actually been through trauma and has just lost it to whoever she's on the phone to.

She is very clearly having a conversation with someone though, she isn't having an imaginary convo that's for sure

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

if it's a story about being in Cooker Cult it might be a little interesting

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm interested in that too!! Not gonna lie lol.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's Saturday, that's when the Cookers have meetings and march

In addition to tomorrow and Monday's burst of heat, next Friday and Saturday are hitting the low 30s again. RIP my aircon bills.

I currently have 5 potatoe in the microwave.

FIVE

[โ€“] just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 points 7 months ago

You must always make one extra as an offering to @Force_majeure123 without whom we would be lost and ruined

[โ€“] Baku@aussie.zone 5 points 7 months ago

I'm going to need you to step AWAY from the microwave. Nice and slow...

LOL, neighbour cut sick at the machine operator who started 15 min early this morning.

Donโ€™t blame her.

The build next door has been starting earlier than they should, but I'm already up and I'd prefer they just finished. I feel like they're pressing to get it done for xmas.

With regards to wrapping Christmas gifts; I have taken great care in the past, learned various techniques, using a minimal amount of tape, learning the art of bow making etc..

Various compliments were thrown my way, but, that couldnโ€™t inspire me this year. This years gift wrapping has been a bit haphazard and uninspired with no thought or care given to paper colour choices, ribbon widths or bow size.

I have one more gift to wrap, Iโ€™m gonna pull myself together and make it count.

Work Xmas party this arvo/evening. Always nice to get fed and watered on the boss's dime. Got to not forget my KK gift. Last year in the rush to leave the house I forgot it, but the woman I had to buy a gift for lives just around the corner from me so I just dropped it off later. Have just checked through my bathroom cupboards and found I have no makeup at all, not one lipstick, nothing. Lol, I'd forgotten that Miniest used it to paint drawings of faces ages ago and I hadn't replaced it ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

I reckon next year I might take a holiday to the land of the kiwi birds. I really wanted to do Japan, but I think it's a bit exxy for me, and I'm not sure I'm ready to go that far from the homeland yet

Also, apparently a ticket from melbs to Auckland is about the same as a ticket to Perth, which makes sense but also kind of blows my mind for some reason

Not certain yet. I'm not sure about spending all that money to go look at some rocks and ride some trains or whatever people do over there. But I also don't want to be one of those shrivelled up old people on my deathbed deeply regretting having never left the country

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 7 points 7 months ago

NZ is stunning! Highly recommend going to look at rocks and ride trains over there. I flew into Wellington, caught a train up to Auckland and then drove back to Wellington over a week and a half and was just in constant awe of the country. Did so many typical tourist things and just loved it! I'd never had much interest in going, but have already been back.

However, Japan is also stunning! And fascinating! And like Dumble said, cheaper to be in - food and transport is way less than AU and NZ.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 7 months ago

NZ is pretty awesome, you'll have a great time.

[โ€“] dumblederp@aussie.zone 5 points 7 months ago

Japan's probably cheaper once you're there.

[โ€“] Baku@aussie.zone 7 points 7 months ago

Crikey I've done literally nothing today... I have cleaning and packing to do, but I didn't do anything

I only just got around to having a shower ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Best get stuck into the cleaning now, I invited the old LT over for lunch tomorrow, and I'm moving on Wednesday

Some of the zukes are yellowing and dying but others are green and enbiggening. Either there was actually something there when I was futilely trying to hand pollinate or a bee helped me out.

The golden gem pumpkins are starting to sproutโ€ฆ I need more pots

Edit: Sorry golden nugget
