  • We won. Australia won The Cricket World Cup 2023. 🏆🎉💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛🇦🇺

    • I bowed out at about 12:30 where we lost 3 or 4 wickets by the 7th over and thought we were gone.

      Happy to see we got the chocolates at the end!

    • I'm surprised at the lack of interest in the Australia thread. This was such a massive deal, the odds of an Australia win were so low. And then they went and did it anyway!

      Work is going to be so much fun!

      I think it's the loss of Cricket "season". There's so much cricket year-round that people no longer get that build up/6 month break cycle any more. The team is playing so well at the moment, and there just isn't the interest there used to be.

      • I think it has to do with the fact that only Oz games were shown on fta. I watched all the games on foxtel that's why I knew how exciting this game would be. Even the run up to it. When you take away something that's normally free to people, they become disinterested.

  • Bugger.

    Seems like someone has found my secret spare house key location and it's gone :(

    Been having a few tradies recently and the only way you could see the key would be if you were up high.. and tradies were up on scaffolding above where it was.

    I'm not accusing anyone but now means my policy is potentially void and I need to change locks.

    This is on top of waking up the other week to find all the flyscreens taken off out the back in an attempted break in.

    Fuck those people.

    • May I suggest a key safe?

      • I'm embarrassed to say this message exchange was what prompted me to tack a Bunnings trip onto my outing to get a really basic key safe for my spare keys (currently naked under an overturned pot in the car port, which has definitely had things filched from it before). Dont know why I didn't consider it earlier...

      • Ooh looking at them now.

  • Miss Meow is in full snuggle & purr miode. I think it's a deliberate ploy to keep me from walking Mr Woof.

    Edit: she's gone off for second breakfast now, Walkies is go!

    • Snuggles would be nice. I’ve got an all pointy bits deployed foot hunter.

      • Some of the snuggles did involve pointy bits. She does for some reason like giving a boob massage with claws out, no matter how often I tell her it is not welcome.

  • I just unfollowed every account I've followed on instagram. Not following any accounts. Don't know why I did it, but I did. Today has been weird.

    Also a couple of days ago, I spoke to bar guy about the playlist thing and he said that lyrics are the last thing that he listens to. He eventually figured out that I was trying to convey something through the lyrics and he told me he loved me for the first time. That was cute.

    I also found out that I was known as jukebox girl at the beginning by a couple of his friends because he didn't wanna say my name.

    • Do you feel better after unfollowing? I only follow a bunch that are all mostly health related. I know it sounds a bit sooky, but as soon as I see a post that is negative, I unfollow. And by negative I mean criticising or calling out where it’s not really that necessary. Like I don’t need to channel those vibes.

      • Yeah I do! It's making me more intentional with my social media use and stopped me from comparing myself to people that I know that are doing all sorts of fun things whilst I'm here not doing that. Would recommend if you are interested in doing the same.

  • It sounds like a lot of whipper snipping going on next door. Fingers crossed the blackberries are being cleared out.

    Edit: sadly the blackberries are still there. Most of the other overgrown stuff is chopped, but the blackberries remain. Regular border patrols for encroaching canes will need to continue.

    Prequel edit: I accidentally travelled back in time and origionally posted this comment on yesterdays thread.

  • As a film/TV buff in Australia, I will never not be jealous of how the UK/US/Europe get all these cool creative talks/discussions with casts and crews for things. I know I can watch most of them on YT now, but I feel like you miss so much of the "vibe" not being there. When I've been to ones here, there's sort of this buzz of curiosity in the room that sometimes has you leaning forward.

  • Just scootered by that Karizma restaurant on New Quay which is owned by some underworld boss and has been torched twice in 3 days. Cop van was there and a camera crew, taped off as shown in the photo in the article about it.

    Underbelly: Docklands.. coming soon on 9.

    • I'm trying to remember what was there 10 years ago. I used to frequent the place next door - Medici. Though it also appears to have been a victim of the pandemic.

  • Vacuuming was brought to a halt as the handle of the vacuum came off. It looks like a couple of rivets or similar have broken on the piece that should hold it clipped in. I have repaired it with some superglue and stickytape, but will now have to wait until it dries. Miss Meow is no doubt relieved as the vacuuming stopped before reaching the lounge room. I decided to also give the brushes a good clean, it is alarming just how much hair manages to wrap itself around them.

  • Went to the doctor to get my xray results but they haven't been sent yet, so the doctor is going to chase it up and then give me a call. I attempted to ask about what precautions I should take with my elbow if it isn't a fracture but he said he'd be guided by me, but there's that part of me that is inherently stuck in work culture (feels guilty for missing work) and also has a very high pain tolerance that just needs the doctor make some form a call if that makes sense?
