    Trampoline park not fun. Awkward with new friend. Wouldn’t be surprised if I never hear from him again lol.

    I need sleep. Sorry to be a downer.

    I’ve decided to quit vaping. I had to buy a shitty disposable today and it makes my chest hurt compared to the normal refillable ones I usually use.

    These things are really fucking bad for your lungs. Way worse than the refillables. I haven’t used one before and yeah, they are real bad news especially if you’re a teen.

    All normal refillable vape shops close tomorrow for good. Leaving only the dodgy black market “convenience stores” selling these terrible disposables.

    Another case of a new law doing the opposite of what it should have.

        Cheers. I’m going through now and throwing out all the vape shit I’ve accumulated over the years. Will be nice not to be smoking/vaping anything for the first time since I was 15

    I’m looking for a tea caddy spoon and fell down a rabbit hole of T2 fancy teas and infusions and weighing and timing and i’m just like…dude i’m too fucking poor white for this shit. I shovel it into a giant pot, fill it with boiling water then strain out the gooblies with a sieve as my ancestors did.

    These have come up very nicely! No abrasives needed, just a damn good oil soak. Their weighting is perfect. Modern tools so oft suck.

    Nicest thing about weather like this is the fact that dickheads in their fart-ripping shitboxxen aren’t out and about making everyone else suffer for their insecurities. Usually it’s wall to wall look at me, ma! on a sat night.

      When I was in Adelaide in March we went to dinner at some rooftop burger place on Friday night. There was a dude in one of those cars without a lid that makes far too much noise blasting music driving around the block and revving at the lights (we were on a corner). It was so weird. I don’t understand what makes people just do loops of the block for hours on end… Who can even afford that much petrol!

    Went for a random drive in this awful weather (which I quietly love) with no destination and found myself stopping into bingo. I’ve missed the first 2 sessions but there are still 2 remaining so LESSGOOOOO

    They call me the big baller bingo caller. They call me big mack daddy dabber. They call me Nanna’s Bane, ender of the elderly.

      I’ve virtually given up on bought biscuits. They taste like disappointment and cost too damn much for my liking. For years I told myself, “biscuits only seemed bigger when I was little because I was smaller,” looking at you Wagon Wheels and Golden Rough. Now I can no longer deny, the shrinkflation and overall stinginess is real. It was literally just a few years ago that I’d buy a couple of packets of biscuits per week on special as a treat for the family. Now each packet, on special, costs what those two packets combined used to, and I’m getting less? I’m going to have a crack at home-made

        Look, everyone says they want arnotts cream assortment but a big ol’ ice cream tub full of Anzac biscuits does just fine.

        Use white s sugar instead of brown and you get chewy instead of crunchy.

          So true. Homemade is better. I tend to only make small batches and they’re all gone by the end of the day with no evidence to show for my labours 😆

        That’s what I thought when I bought a burger from maccas one time.

        I thought maybe I had a bad memory and had grown up but I’m pretty sure the burgers has shrunk in size over time.

    I totally forgot The Bear s3 is out now. I hear it’s not as great as the first two seasons as it was filmed alongside s4 so it feels more drawn out, but that’s fine by me because holy hell the first two seasons were so intense I felt like I needed two weeks and a few therapy sessions to recover.

    Time to get the fried rice out and fire up Stremio.

      I wanted to get into that but just couldn’t for some reason. Only watched the first few episodes, but I feel almost certain that if I can make it past the first season it will probably become one of my favourite shows. I’m just weird like that

      quietly loads up deluge it was kinda an eye opener watching with His Lordship - especially the christmas ep. I could literally hear his sphincter clenching from across the room once they got going - but his family is functional. Mine? Well lets just say my anus remained unclenched.

    I like dogs but the fact is I’m allergic to them. And my allergies to cats are exponentially worse.

    For some reason I’ve been blessed with a hyperactive immune system. Spring as you can imagine is a real bitch. But I must say my symptoms are not nearly as bad now as they were when I was a kid.

    I may have overindulged with my grocery shopping today.

    I have an odd mixture of stuff and not really a solid plan but needless to say I have a lot of chicken drumsticks and a lot of sausages.

    Also bacon prices went up I think. Also getting too expensive to buy :(

      I’m new to buying bacon as I have been making leek and bacon pies. Those pies are the most expensive to make. No idea how expensive bacon is meant to be. The bacon bits, while convenient, didn’t seem to be good quality so I buy big packets of Aussie rashers. $11 for 400 g, . I think that’s $2 a slice 🤷‍♀️ But those pies are real good and I make about 8.

        I bought 1kg for 12 from Aldi today. Short cut variety.

        Going to be using them in sandwiches with eggs. Maybe onion too but I need to keep the onions for the curry.

        It’ll be all worth it though.

        Mmm if you can pie you can quiche. Tomato basil quiche is of the divine. You can also get more bang if you use those leeks with tarragon and chicken for delish pies. (I use thickened cream in the gravy, numnumnum)

    Pigeons are my favourite bird, of all the birds. I love their coo-ing sound they make, and how derpy they look.

    Plus, Australia has a bunch of native ones. My favourite is the Crested Pigeon - they have little mohawks and squeak when they take off.

    Look at these beautiful pigeons! https://www.australiaswonderfulbirds.com.au/pigeons

    Look at the superb fruit dove and see the beauty of pigeons lol
