First Just Joey is out:

Fave rose.

Edit: and to celebtrate I'm doing a shitload of mini dim sims for dins.

Beautiful!
That's pretty. I don't have any roses at the moment, I'll live vicariously through yours. Is it scented?
- Yea very strong (and nice) scent.
  Has its own wiki lol.

Just Joey! That's my favourite rose too! Mum used to have an extensive garden with some of my favourites (Just Joey, Peace, Black Boy, Queen Elizabeth, Blue Moon among others) but this one was my favourite for its heady fragrance.
- My mum has a few roses and Just Joey is the only one she knows the name of because it's still got it's tag on it.
That is glorious. Apricot coloured double bloom. (?) Does it have a nice perfume like the Peace rose?
- They smell amazing :)
That is so lovely.
What a gorgeous rose and an excellent way to celebrate!
Please blowtorch them lol
- lol that reminds me I have to get more butane.
  I will blowtorch one just for you :) Need to scratch that itch.

Question of the day: When you take the old sheets off the bed do you refer to that as "stripping"? As in I've stripped the bed ready for the new sheets to go on later or do you call it something else or never thought about it.

Fuck I think that's the 3rd time I've edited my spelling.

I flay the bed.
- Interesting
When I crash at a friends I ask if they want me to strip or make the bed.
The bed’s naked now
- Flay and spank it.
  Oops, wrong thread
- 😂
  The bed's raw now.
Yep, have always called it stripping the bed..
I'd say stripped the sheets if I haven't put new sheets on the bed yet, once I've remade it I'd say I changed the sheets.
Always been taking the sheets off for me.
I call it "stripping". I supposed "changed the bed sheets" works as well, but I use "strip/stripping" 99% of the time.
Yeah I strip the bed and then with fresh linen I make the bed. (Though that’s meant to refer to putting it back in order in the morning. Maybe it should be make up the bed.) Or I simply ‘change the sheets/bedding’

It's a good day. The woolies bins were full of tapioca pudding that hadn't even been unpacked, and I've got a party today. Chocolate pudding for all!

It's amazing what they throw out. After father's Day one year I saw a guy going through the dumpy of my local Woolies pull out a gigantic package of roasting beef, and I mean huge, you'd maybe just fit it into the oven of a small stove like mine. His two dogs certainly looked very appreciative 😁
- it blows my mind that colesworth put their clearance prices at like 15 cents below full price. no wonder so much food goes to waste.
- Oh yeah, I wasn't alone. The lady I ran into there took off with a huuuuge tray of shaved ham, a roast chicken and some massive steaks

I need a roast but I also can't be fucked going to get ingredients. There lies the dilemma.

YL's Pick Up Service to be engaged?
- She hasn't graduated to picking out the perfect piece of meat yet.

Post free stuff on FB, get a password reset attempt notification at 1am. Thanks Arseholes.

Good gig last night.

Never really liked the venue (Brown alley). not sure how i feel about having a mugshot taken. Also no passouts which is odd because they stamp you when you go in. Pretty scathing reviews on google lol. Good sound though.

Last track they played has been a top 3 of mine for years and I don't think I'll ever hear it on a loud rig again so that made it worth it.

Glad you had a good night man!
What was the track?
- This one
mugshot?
that's a big no from me
and would also go to the club owners house and take photos of them
- I can understand it from a safety aspect. I think they cross reference it to a database to see if you've caused shit before (both there and elsewhere). But yeah, can't escape it these days :( No passout thing pissed me off.

My veg guy has mulberries 😃

He must've gone round the mulberry bush early in the morning.
wear gloves

My girlfriend has finally decided to check out bone conduction headphones. The whole time we've been together she would just play things on her phone constantly because she didn't like things in or around her ears.

She decided to get some bone conduction headphones, completely unprompted given I have a spare pair she could have used. I might finally get some peace and quiet if she takes up using these

So I froze margarita mix then ran it through the Creami and added tequila. Is a margarita daiquiri a thing?

I’m so fucking embarrassed that it took me this long to realise I haven’t been singing in my voices natural key. Which is why everything takes ages to learn.

Not any more it seems lol. I’m singing pretty much every song I like and it’s easy.

Learn music theory!

Ayyyy congrats!
I've learnt this lesson twice over now haha, once to know things were mysteriously easier around E# and then a second time to realise that was only the case when I started using chest voice properly and embraced being a baritone.
Joni Mitchell took 40 plus years to find out the same thing. She'd been singing falsetto all her life up till then.
- I feel better knowing I'm in good company :)

Washing done. Dishes done.

I’m off to the market, and then to get my hair cut

I got woken up around midnight from a really deep sleep because someone wanted a lozenge. But I actually managed to get back to sleep really quickly for once. I've got to go into work because I forgot to fill in my timesheet for yesterday. The boss bought a new cleaning product for the floor and I was enthusiastically testing it out 😆 so I forgot. Then I'll probably take Miniest shopping for clothes for school camp and the year beyond (no uniforms needed for high school). For now though I'm enjoying that "I don't have to get up yet" weekend vibe.

I momentarily forgot you had miniPeelers and was so confused by who the mystery midnight lozenge bandit was... I too am enjoying Saturday snoozies but suspect I need a coffee soon!

Morning 🙂

I have awoken early but surprisingly well , need more sleep tho and maybe take it easy so my back can recover

4:52, that's 6-7hours sleep. That's okay.
Annoyingly, my dog scratched the bottom of my foot by accident but it's making walking painful.
- I got to sleep around 10 myself
Good Morning! 😀

I go through this endless cycle of installing instagram, zoning out for ages, deleting it so I don’t do it again and then reinstalling a day or two later.

I bought a warm milk. Was meant to be a cappuccino but I don't think coffee touched the cup.

Warts on my toes are returning, which would be whatever, but there is now a small one forming on my FUCKING FINGERTIP!! Right on my fingerprint. Like, excuse me? We could have lived in peace, but this strain of HPV has forced my hand.

I bought a nitrous oxide freeze device from the pharmacy. I'm going scorched earth on their asses.

Edit: ha ha ha that was farked

B_R has a blowtorch, now Spud has an ice device. That’s fire and ice/water.
We only need someone to get a leaf blower or compressed air gun for air and err… something for earth so we can be elemental benders
- I'll get the ryobi out of the shed for you if you like!
- Ceramics class? Pottery certainly qualifies as earth bending.
- Oooooo yesss the water benders are my favourite in ATLA and Korra!
Did you do it to yourself?
- Yes it's this product https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/110936/endwarts-freeze-pen-7-5g
  It is an unpleasant experience, but my partner has a weaker stomach than I so I did it to myself lol
  In 14 days I'll know if it worked or not (one application and then leave it for 14 days)

I have very possibly found the worst not quite X movie ever. Butch Camp; young Gay guy in denial gets taught straightness by leather Dykes. Too many tropes to count. Hobbits should lock their doors.

Good morning

Guten Morgen!

another very early night tonight

gotta shake this sore back and virus

I don’t want to get out of bed.

Well, whatever you say brain. Bed it is.

I think I might watch telly and do hand sewing today

Good fucking lord those ikea induction plates go like the proverbial

Stove? If so, I agree. I've been very favourably impressed with my little induction one plate from Temple & Webster. So useful. Even has a porridge button which I thought very unusual when I got it but does just wonderful rice. The quick boil button is fair frightening how fast it is - at least as fast as a kettle.
- The other thing I've noticed with induction is that it doesn't seem to cause things like porridge or eggs to cook onto the bottom of the pan as much. I've got a gas stove here but use an induction hotplate for a lot of my cooking because it just works better. I also just use a stovetop kettle on it for boiling water, I don't have an electric kettle.
- The portable little $42 induction hobs. 4l in a pot brought to boil in 6 minutes. Yowza
  Bonus that i got my expanded clay balls sterilised much faster than i thought though XD
Induction does do that. It's too bad that they tend to have the rather opposite problem where because they go so quickly, a lot of the time, the graduations aren't fine enough to work with.
If it wasn't for the fact that electricity was so expensive (3x the price for power, though an induction stove uses half as much), I'd not mind using an induction hob nearly all the time.

The coffee and date loaf I made yesterday is pretty delicious, but could do with more dates. It's probably just as well I only brought two slices with me to work, if I had the whole loaf I would probably end up eating half of it, it's a bit moreish.

Coffee and date loaf? 🤤 Got a recipe?
- No recipe. I added a few tsp of instant coffee, a couple of spoons of brown sugar and a little bit of mixed spice to a standard white loaf and added some chopped dates.

some christmas decorations are already up in stores. thank goodness halloween exists, as a powerful brick wall to stop the christmacization of wesfarmers and colesworth from occuring even earlier.

You just need to stop going to the shops, then you won't have to deal with it. Also no Christmas carol exposure!
- Three reasons to love Christmas:
  Spending time with the people we love
  Partaking in our favoured vices
  Whamageddon

I wish my body worked with me instead of against me.

I’m looking at you right shoulder….

You'd have to twist your head all the way round...perhaps that's the issue?
- I’ll try anything at this stage lol

The lamb has been purchased 🐑🗡

you brute
I mean yum
- I'll make it look pretty.

I watched 15 minutes of Judgement at Nuremberg and already started to yell at the telly

time for a walk at the beach

but neighbour 2 doors down is having a garage sale and I got a heap of stuff for the young seagoons for when they come, it can all go in the garage for now

If anyone lives near a Kaisercraft they're doing 70% off 2026 diaries and calendars at the moment. I got an A5 hardcover page a day diary for $7

Thank you for the heads up!! I checked them out, scored a $2.99 diary... then also picked up a handbag, key chain, mini cooler bag and a dressing gown, lol.
- I don't know how there are so many stores and how they stay open, they're just full of random cheap crap

Pakige!

I have not been .😞

Melbcat had a recheck and there’s still issues. Sample sent off, antibiotic being ordered in.

I’m feeling stressed.

Seeing as at least one person in all of my circles has been to Japan, I'm wondering if anyone here has been as well?

Yes! I’ve been a couple of times, last time in 2023. You should mostly definitely go if you have the opportunity. Plus it’s almost 100 yen to every $1 at the moment, that’s the highest I’ve ever seen it. You can live it up at that exchange rate.
- Awesome! Whereabouts did you go?
Yup. Didn't plan for it but it was cherry blossom season too!
- Ooh lovely!
Yes, twice and can't wait to go again! Highly highly recommend!!
- Ooh yay, where did you go and where do you want to visit next?

No hub 'cos i built a Home Assistant box with a skyconnect dongle
