Finally am negative, I am free to fly the nest!!! I still have what I would describe as a head cold but other than that I am good to gooooooo! Time to reschedule everything I’ve had to cancel in the last two weeks and blow my calendar way out.
Cool. 😊
OK first attempt at posting a photo…
This is Clyde, one half of the local pair with Bonnie. Been visiting us for years and always bring their juvenile offspring to meet us.
Hi Clyde. 😀
I should probably inform you that this is not an owl. Nor does it appear to run on electricity, but I can’t be 100% certain of that.
When I first got my dog people would say “oh he’s your boy” and I’m like “no he’s my buddy”. Now I’m like “come here to mummy. Tell me what you want”. I even do baby talk with him which I never did with my own child. I love hearing him crunching on food yet hate it when humans do it.
Do you also ask your dog to go get mummy a beer?
Haha. I have asked but he chooses ignorance at times.
Good thing I panicked & spent a heap of coin and time on the watering systems in the last 2 months :(
I will be vindicated broken clock and all that but for now I have no idea if what is in actually will keep shit alive in a dry spell.
Ha this is me too. Just a few weeks ago finished a big four-zone system all done in about 120m of buried 19mm pipe.
Thankfully it’s all phone-controllable, so we’ve just been able to hit ‘defer’ and not have it come on in the rain… but the defer button has been getting a workout :|
I was going to put in sprinklers etc as I’d planted a lot, but the weather has been most helpful thus far. Was worried about planting early summer due to El Niño.
You are better off buying components and setting up and building your experience in the good times, rather than when shtf and everything is sold out/expensive and people are more desperate :)
ain’t nothing like a facebook rando threatening to do very real physical violence to you because you pointed out Doctor Who has always been a bit camp.
I thought most people (myself included) were into Doctor Who because it was camp…
I think this arsehole is one of the old guard who’s all ITs SeRioUs ScIfI
yes, it is on occasion. It’s also camp. And if he’s gonna try and anorak me I’ll fucking eat his head 'cos I’m equally old school and nerdy (40+ years)…I’ve just also got social skills and a sex life.
I’m in that demographic. Tell him Amos Burden is also a bit camp.
I should ask him to name a cherished UK show that isn’t camp.
Are You Being Served?
Mr Humphries was a man’s man, and I’ll have it no other way!!!
And does Julian Clary not exist?
I wanna respond but all I can think about is mrs slocum’s pussy
Did you mean Amos Burton? That guy?
I am that guy.
Side note: That character is one of the best written characters I’ve ever come across. He’s so broken and flawed, but has such a big heart. He knows the parts of his personality that are not calibrated right and compensates for his issues by attaching to people he respects. I’d love to read more about him. Particularly about how he lived in the years before the last chapter of the last book.
I’ve not seen the latest lot (because fuck subscriptions), but I’ll gleefully join you and eat his liver & lights.
cough there is a bay I know of where gentlemen wear eye patches and stumped legs that has the treasures you seek.
Avast! What a novel idea…
to be totally fair, Its gone from a bit more subtle to… drastically less so with Ncuti. I’m not complaining, but for the more oblivious viewers it might’ve been a bit of a shock.
nah, it’s just actually moved with the times. Very gen Z aimed, but it’s a TV show, what do you expect?
GO BACK TO BED!
But I wanna stay up cries
No back chat!
Yes ma’am.
slinks away
Can I sleep in your bed
Alright. Get in.

So Gibson is still sluggish today… Do you guys think it’s still from yesterday’s heat? My appointment with the vet is tomorrow. She’s eating and drinking just fine. Just won’t move from the bed…
Always worth a look if you are genuinely concerned! My idiot was all floppy and slow once, so I went to the emergency clinic and he actually had a pretty high fever. They gave an injection and it was no joke as if someone had rebooted him, once home it was as if nothing had ever happened.
Yep great point. I booked an earlier appointment for tomorrow.
Good luck!! Hopefully it’s nothing.
That’s good to know! She might just have a tummy ache from eating something she shouldn’t have. Lucky I have pet insurance!
It won’t hurt her to go to the vet for a checkup. I suspect everything will be fine. It’s a good opportunity for her to learn that a vet visit can be nice.
That’s just called Wednesdays in cat world.
Your cat sounds like me whenever I have a day off work.
She’s gone again, Miss Seagoon has gone to NZ for a year or so 😭Flight in a few hours
Sounds like a good excuse for a visit!
Dinner devoured.
Stacked Burger and fries.
Need to resist falling to a food coma.
The Young Seagoons cooked me dinner cos I’m not well . 😭
How are you feeling today and how’s your back?
Are you feeling any better?
a little better
Aw yeah! Dinner of champions 👌
It was beautiful. I put a photo up on the daily tucker thread, this is for you.
Holy mother! Omg 😱🤤🤤
MrsCalhoon, kidcalhoon1 & 2 are camping riverside in Warburton. … They’re wet… From the BoM - possibly severe with heavy rain which may lead to flash flooding…good, good, not worried at all…
yeah I hate to say it but I’d be pulling up stumps.
Lamb rump steak consumed - with glee. The airfryer does them perfectly. Juicy pink insides, crispy fat and the potat & cauli mash went superbly with them. Does anyone else hate cleaning lamb fat out of the airfryer? This is the only downside.
I do but I line it baking paper to make cleaning a little bit easier.
I did that too, but the lamb fat found its way into the bottom part anyway. Grumble.
I can put the bottom part of mine in the dishwasher, it was a major selling point for me
Which one is that?

Didn’t have dinner last night cause I just wasn’t hungry, this morning I had some multigrain sourdough toast and orange juice and my stomachs still if its happy with that or not. Fuck this, Im gonna get some chips for lunch. Just wanna feel normal for a bit.
I didn’t realise that AI extended to music but of course it does, and of course there’s an explosion of AI covers/mashups and I do think we are in the end times. Late to the party but Holy moly.
Have this “cover” of Hank Williams doing Straight Outta Compton…

e: I realise now that the millennial-humour era of crude but funny mashups and covers - “ain’t nobody got time for that” and “autotune the news” from a decade ago, and more recent mashups - is well and truly over and dead forever.

Things that shouldn’t exist. (Didn’t click, don’t want to know what hat sounds like)
Trying a pressure cooker risotto tonight. Meatballs were incredible, so have high hopes.
Edit. Well that was bloody amazing. 25 minutes total prep/cooking time.
This sounds sacrilegious. I’ve heard of no stir risotto, but pressure cooker?
The Albanese government can absolutely go fuck itself. People earning $200,000 and over to get tax cuts equaling to $9000 a year, while low income workers get a measley $125 a year in tax cuts. Doing absolutely fuck all about the cost of living crisis while they’re at it. Can’t believe I voted for these useless pricks.
“In 2024–25, the Government will simplify and flatten the personal tax system by abolishing the 37 per cent tax bracket entirely. Australians earning more than $41,000 will only pay 32.5 cents in the dollar all the way up to the top marginal tax rate threshold that will be adjusted to $200,000.”
This is actually great for me and a lot of people who aren’t on 200k+
