Great start to the day, spiderweb right in the face. Mr Woof of course trotts happily underneath all such problems and had no idea what my problem was.

Was it an orb weaver? We had a very stubborn one that kept building webs across the front path

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It was too dark to see, but probably. Orb weavers regularly take down and rebuild their webs just to be extra tricky - I almost never run into them when I do a 4am walk, but a few hours later there seems to be more risk. With the notable exception of the time one built a web fully blocking the path which is the only exit from my property.

They’re beautiful spiders, but not so lovely when you’re wearing one on your face on the way to work

Does anyone here listen to The Drums? I put on 'Let's Go Surfing' before swimming lessons in the morning.

I remember hearing around the time their first album came out they learnt how to play guitar because their music just wasn't working with synths. Did they continue down the guitar path or did they go back to synths?

Could you take my drill press down to sell for the best price you can get? Happy to exchange for magic beans.

Just got back from shopping. Minipeelers were not happy about being rushed through the process to get home before it gets too hot. Had to be done because Miniest's shoe broke at school yesterday, Elder's shoes are getting too tight and my work boots have been falling apart on the insides for ages and I've been putting up with it because 🫰🏼💲💸Now to do laundry and flake for a bit and pretend to ignore the rest of the house work.

I left the house to go out at 10pm for late drinks with some friends, this timing for leaving the house is unheard of these days. The non-inviters I posted about a few months back have invited me out after seeing them at a birthday today, thought I better take up the offer. I got no clues about why I was being excluded, it felt like nothing had happened today and it just picked up from where we left off the last time we all hung out. So weird.

I want to share some channels I found with full movies but does that raise the chance that they will be noticed and taken down?

A selection of chilled fruits in season please chef. And could you please magically stock my freezer with ice cream?

Back from shopping and settling down. It was a lot hotter inside than I thought.

Why does Coles have to be on the other side of the shopping centre. Had to go back and forth because of cheaper beef mince that will be turned into burgers tonight pending my motivation.

Aldi didn’t seem to have dim sims anymore so I went without and got some battered fish instead.

Also picked up the Aldi snacks priced at 1.69 a box.

Tried some, seasoning and flavour is a little subtle but very crunchy though.

I know the regular shapes have been going down in quality with their seasoning too but I haven’t had those in ages.

I think for the price point at Aldi it’s ok for what it is.
