Rainbow pretty.

The pot of gold is located around Prahran markets if anyone can be bothered

Barely! Only 3 sets of treats in one day! I'm a monster.

Whoa, Ozzy Osbourne has died.

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 9 points 1 week ago

Just like with Betty White, my belief that some of us are immortal has received a slight crack.

RIP to the Prince of Darkness

ABC Classic (which is my alarm clock) mentioned this and decided to play I Fortuna from Carmina Burana in homage. Well, if I wasn't awake before...

Didn't think a rock star death would hit me this hard.

Really really good final Medicare-subsidised session with psych today - lifted a lot of the irritation and frustration I've been feeling over the last two weeks just getting some things off my chest and talking about the importance of my trip away to someone who knows why.

Riding on the wave of goodness I decided to actually read my emails rather than just mark them all as read and what do you know, it's National Tree Day on Sunday and there's heaps of planting events all over town. The weather might be frightful but I think that's exactly what I need, getting out in nature, working with my hands alongside others for something good. The hot shower afterwards will feel very earned ๐Ÿ˜ that's my Sunday sorted!

Gardening sesh complete. Green bin full!

I have a sore finger from pressing the aerogard button so much lol. 300g went a long way though so might be cheaper than I thought.

Interesting thing from pulling the oxalis that I sprayed Monday evening is a lot of the bulbs came up with it so that was a surprise. Almost like they were stuck on more but might be imagining things.

Now it's a pizza time.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago

yay, death to oxalis

I continued cutting back a very over grown bush, pulled some weeds and got rid of a dead pot plant

[โ€“] just_kitten@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not to dampen your fiery spirits, but I'm guessing you know about how oxalis have the secret little bulbils that snap off and stay in the soil after you pull out the main bulb...? and sometimes there can be bulbs up to 20cm below the surface... I used to be so annoyed at how I thought I'd gotten rid of the bulbs only for them all to come back again... but to be fair I wasn't treating them with the angel of death.

Been listening to Black Sabbath and Ozzy today and bloody hell I always forget just how much good stuff he did. โ™ฅ๏ธ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿป

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago

them and deep purple and led zep were my fave metal groups

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago

Paranoid is one of my favourites.

Such a good song.

Don't you just love it. The weather falls in a heap during the evening commute home ...

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 9 points 1 week ago (11 children)

I have no idea if my mum is doing it or if a bad actor is doing it, but I keep getting emails from Apple support addressed to my mum to saying

"We have reviewed your request, and access to your account (my email @gmail.com) has been denied.

Sincerely,

Apple"

It looks legit, the email it's from looks legit, and I suspect it's because a long time ago I'd helped my mum set up her phone and she didn't have an email at the time. But I don't know how to give it back to her or whatever, there's nothing actionable in the email, and it's giving me a stress headache looking at emails addressed to mum. It's making me feel really anxious, that to resolve this I might have to break my no-contact.

Fuuuuuuuck

She can get a new phone it's fine, just ignore

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago

Thank you ๐Ÿ™ I think I just needed a voice of reason to give me permission to ignore lol

Went to the museum and got some frozen yoghurt. Saw some birbs and tried not to scare them.

The wait for this holiday is driving me nuts. Three more sleeps. I've been looking up menus for all of the restaurants close to the hotel to keep myself entertained.

Paranoid will always remind me of the hours playing rock n roll racing back in the day.

Things are hard right now. Thereโ€™s crappy stuff going on I probably wonโ€™t post but I also recently found out an old family friend has passed.

Life is incredibly heavy so other than pressing chores and cuddling/tending to Melbcat Iโ€™m mostly sleeping life away.

Edit: Melbcat is fine to my knowledge, I havenโ€™t heard back about her nose but sheโ€™s acting okay and pretty much healthy. May she remain so. Itโ€™s just everything else.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago

So many hugs.

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago

I feel this hard, I've been struggling too though in a different way. I'm sorry you're having a hard time friend. Sending you my love and good vibes ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I blew my nose and one of my ears ended up getting blocked.

I'm not feeling too good after that.

Thinking about taking some time off from work this leading up this weekend.

Feeling a bit blah physically.

[โ€“] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Melbcat was lively last night. She was calling like she wanted something but also did a zoomie and showed interest in her toys.

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

She sounds like such a darling!

this is great ๐Ÿ˜Š

Why yes leadership team, the team is under performing because we are missing 3 full time experienced staff and replacing them with 2 beginners isn't making up the difference.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

yay, my phone is fixed, it just needed a new good cable ๐Ÿ‘

now time for a little work in the garden and maybe some beach ๐Ÿ˜Š
