Seems like falls are popular :( they hurt.
Saw mum this arvo briefly she was high as a kite but doing well. just got a call just now telling me to put something over her strawberries and I didn’t have the heart to tell her something has already eaten them :(
Doing well is good. 🙂
and look after those strawbs, new ones will grow
Oh for pete’s sake. My aunt who I saw on Monday was trying to clean out things from her house on Thursday and slipped on some gum leaves on her steep and uneven front steps and hit her head on the ground. Had a bit of minor whiplash. She’s been resting all weekend thankfully. Once I’ve finished moving I’ll go offer to help my aunt and uncle with moving crap outside. After reading about Bottom_racer’s mum I’m not to keen on them risking another fall. They have two grown children who have no interest in helping…
Oh man I’m sorry. I hope she’s okay
Hugs and keep an eye on her. Seems the bad effects of falls can take a few days to appear.
I hope she’s ok Kitten.
If she’s got any signs of dizziness, vision problems all of sudden she needs to go see a doctor about a possible concussion.
I’m hoping it wasn’t too bad of a fall and impact.
I think she’s okay given that the fall was on Thursday and she has been resting since. But I’m wary of her having another fall in the coming week, I hope she is very careful. She and my uncle feel like they have to do everything themselves because they are (a) frugal and (b) unable to rely on their kids for help, but it’s not worth a fall.
Oh no. Hope it’s all ok.
Oh no. I hope she’s okay. Definitely check in on her over the next few days.
Curse you custard bao buns. Why must you come in packs of six. And why must i steam all six at once
Falling asleep patting fluffball. I think it might be time to put on an audiobook and peacefully doze off.
Goodnight everyone ❤️
Plant with flowers growing from the leaves!!
That is amazing.
Butchers broom I think
Or potentially a ruscus hypoglossum, not sure
Good call!
Gone through all my clothes, culled about 30% - half in the bin, half to the op shop. Nearly all the other clothes are packed. As are the hangers, and all my paper bags and bubble wrap has been consolidated. Plus two loads of laundry.
Cooked up a big dish of pasta with white bean, roast pumpkin, salmon, zucchini and baby spinach for the next three days, and some dal for tonight.
Far out I’m exhausted, that’s enough for me today. Next task is to consolidate all the bits and bobs hiding in drawers all over the place. And move all my boxes somewhere out of the way.
I finally found this song again for the music video playlist.
The Animal Collective - My Girls
I got completely lost because I thought it was by the Australian band Dappled Cities
This is one of my favourite tracks of all time.
Now I know who they are I’m going to try get into Animal Collective. I just remember watching this video a few times and it stick in my mind
I’m hungry. Being hungry makes me indecisive. So I can’t decide what to have for dinner. This is a problem.
Fistfuls of shredded cheese from the bag
Are you my Spirit animal ?
I’m definitely some kind of animal
I am not that uncivilised. If I go the cheese route it will be the pre-sliced squares!
If I could have cheese I would be eating a mozzarella like an apple
cheap mozza balls @ savemore rn $10 for 1kg
I’ve only got a tiny bit of mozzarella left, it would be like an apple wedge.
I went the sliced cheese route. It did seem like I needed a bit more than just cheese though, and the packet said it was burger cheese, so:
Heh. When I could eat cheese I’d get a block of it and use it multipurpose, can’t go wrong
I potted two more zucchini plants out into bigger pots. Trying to decide whether to keep 6 or keep it at 4.
If I keep 6 I will need more potting mix… I still need the stakes too. It seems easier to get tomato stakes and put them in the pots so everything is freestanding. Plus if I need to move them there’s minimal disturbance to the vines.
The potting mix isn’t a problem. That’s too heavy to get stolen (I hope). The stakes though incur a $25 delivery fee… I probably have to enlist help there.
The pet shops are also giving me a hard time about delivering to a friend’s address. I forced myself out for the treats and Zylkene but hate doing it and the local doesn’t have her biccies. I’d sort a parcel locker but ran into issues
4 zucchini plants will feed a family of 10 and have enough left over to put in a still to be boiled down for illegal alcohol. 6 - um probably too many for just one person. I’d go for 2 only I think.
Ah ok good call! I am growing it to give to someone with a family and can probably anonymously gift excess to a dumping/exchange area…
I’ve just planted many seeds and potted out 4 of the largest in case I failed at gardening
Edit: I’ve created a monster haven’t I
Zucchs are monsters. The problem with gifting extras is that when ones own zucchs come up ripe, so are everyone else’s. Illegal alcohol is your friend here. Still, having an extra or two on the go in case of snail/slug invasion is a good idea.
Oh no… I don’t even drink alcohol.
I’ll leave it at the 4 I already planted out and ‘donate’ the other plants. I just wanted to do something constructive and help feed people 😭
I wanted to plant mini pumpkins too but will likely have my hands full as is.
Small/mixed seed bundles should be a thing
Alcohol is trade goods.
Knowing my luck the still would blow up or I’d get jailed. Pappy didn’t teach me how to do that proper…
Also… do you really want me giving the people in my area more alcohol 😬
Oops. A definite consideration to be sure. My bad.
@TheWitchofThornbury @melbaboutown whassisname who did the Prairie Home Companion radio show did a bit about late summer being the only time in Lake Wobegon when you had to lock your car, because if you didn’t, you would come back and find a box of zucchinis on the back seat.
Yup. Fully agree. About 15 years ago I kept my horse over summer in a small paddock in EBrunswick down by the creek. The council made me keep a covered skip for the horse manure, which was fair enough I reckon. I loaded it up every day as per council regulations, but NEVER had to empty it, as the contents would mysteriously vanish overnight and boxes of tomatoes and other garden vegetables would miraculously appear in my horse’s shelter shed. A sort of black economy of horse manure/vegies, all without one word being said. I kinda miss that.
@TheWitchofThornbury there’s always one zucchini that you don’t see until it’s the size of a small nuclear submarine.
Did you see the news article a few years ago where this happened to a gardener in Germany - but an aerial photographer (too early for drones) saw it and called in the bomb squad cos they thought it was unexploded munition from WW2. Lots of egg on face all round when the bomb squad arrived to deactivate it.

My local council election results are in. The independent-but-member–of-the-Liberal-party candidate won, with a narrow member over the independent-but-maybe-corrupt candidate. Hopefully this means I can stop looking at the candidate’s names and getting “Mr Brightside” stuck in my head (as the other candidate’s name is Emily Brightside) 🤣
Jells. I’m in kingston, we just copped a fucking antivaxx cooker
They’re still counting in my electorate. In my ward nobody got more than 50% of the vote so they’re still divvying up the preferences.
Mine got to about 43% & 46% with first preferences, so just had to count enough of the third candidates preferences to get over the 50% line.
Imagine if you had a tap that poured out perfectly cooked pasta…
That is fusilli
Taparoni
I think I’ve been ghosted by a couple more buyers. Grrr. I did sell the cotton reel holders though, so it’s not a complete loss. I’d just really like some of this big stuff to be gone!
You wouldn’t have a bar fridge for sale would you?
No, my fridge collection is much larger, and I’m keeping them!
I probably should sell one of my chest freezers though ☹️
Mostly outdoor cupboards, camping equipment and (when I get around to sorting them out) some tools.
I’m sort of hoping someone rocks up overnight and steals all the cupboards, as they are unsecured in the front carport.
Lazy Sunday.
Work might be a bit stressful tomorrow, but I’m ready with receipts if anyone wants to have a go at me.
Fingers crossed. Would hate to have things fall apart right now.
I hate opening a new bottle of something to find those stupid fucking plastic ring pulls. And if they happen to break while pulling then it takes all my courage not to throw the thing. 🤬
