Should I be worried about the next appearance of the food truck? 🐙
Um, yes? Would you care to join me in sending healing vibes in the food truck’s direction? I believe its parked just around the corner - any corner. 🚑⚕ I think our beloved chef has been reading a bit too much Verne and/or Poe.
📿 🙏 ☸ 🕉 🌈 Let us pray that we do not end up prey tomorrow. I have a feeling there may be some infiltration by the after eight clientele. If so, the health inspectors may want to know about this…
If necessary, we will include them in the after eight menu, after consulting with our beloved chef.

🎼I want this like a cigarette
Can we drag it out and never quit?
And oh my god, you are heaven sent
With your dirty mind, yeah, you’re perverted
You give me guilty, guilty pleasure 🎶🎶🏳️🌈Fell asleep to some video of the difference between Quebecois and Parisian French. Felt somewhat better after and made it to airport short term wait area. No hope of any meal prep tonight so I think I’m just gonna have to write off the rest of today and consider a sickie tomorrow if I don’t feel any better. Blurgh. Brain no can use
Oh nah. Woke up to the sounds of something scurrying and scratching in the roof. Possums? Rats? We get possums quite regularly but the sound they make is a bit of a thud when they run across the roof, and this sound Is different, like something is inside the roof.
Rats. 100%. They can lift roof tiles and squeeze into the tinyest of cracks and stuff. They’re an absolute nightmare tbh.
new tenants
That’ll be a rent increase.
Better check your rental agreement, you might need to declare they’ve moved in
apologies we were collecting a sample
I setup my security camera yesterday and it caught a few possums overnight! I had to turn the sensitivity down and customise the monitoring zone because they kept triggering movement notifications
POSSSSSUUUUUUMMMMM
Rats are difficult to be rid of. Basically you want to find their run (their paths) and bait around there.
There is also bait you can chuck up into the roof. Iirc, they dehydrate the rats and they leave to find a water source. Be aware of you have pets though, as cats may catch the rat and get poisoned too, or dogs may eat the bait.
Other than that, trying to find where they’re getting in and closing it up. They’re notoriously difficult, but don’t leave food out or anything that would attract them.
A pest controller wouldn’t do much more than the above tbh, having worked for a pest control company.
Ugh I’m going to be such a shit home owner or even tenant. I have zero qualms about baiting or lethal trapping just about any pest, but I just couldn’t with rats. I know pet rats are completely different, but I can’t not see wild rats as troubled pet rats, even though they still freak me out
I love rats and would love a pet one. It’s hard thinking about them dying :(
I got to meet someone’s pet rats once, they’re so cute. They even have little hands 🥺
They’re also fucking IMPOSSIBLE to get a good photo of
I eventually recovered from this morning’s headache with some decent pho, only to end up staying out late with a wine and cider. Probably will be okay, I don’t feel as crazily buzzed as I did last night, but I’ve taken a preventative Nurofen anyway. It was a good night of catching up so I don’t mind. Lots to do when I wake up though so hope I don’t feel too crummy in the morning. Good night everyone.
I feel like Mlem isn’t showing all my comment history.
That’s correct, it only shows the first page at the moment. In the next Mlem update it’ll load infinitely.
Oh, thanks!
Are you a melbournian too, or do you have an alert or something set up for when people mention mlem? Not judging, just curious
Yeah, I’ve got an alert set up. I’m from the UK :)
Very likely the latter.
Night, fam. See you in the morning.
Bleh. I have obligations today. Do not want
Lovely rainbow over Thornbury this morning.
45! My best ever score, with a couple of good guesses
Better than me! But then, I don’t watch Bluey.
also 45, with a couple of guesses
20!
Yay, got 40.
I’m starting to loathe internal work wake-up clock. Grr…
But now also wondering if Zelda’s is open… 🤔
(Yes, I will drive suburbs and brave the cold for a cookie.)
Edit: No luck. Probably a good thing. (Also still annoyed about my crap steak last night. Can’t believe how much it’s bothering me.)
Send the food back next time.?
I really should have, but it was one of those nights…
General cold and flu symptoms have given way to just a really sore throat.
I’m not sure which is worse given I’m outnof Strepsels
Apparently someone tried to assassinate Trump
They keep replaying it over and over on the TV. Disappointingly they miss every single time.
Trump’s wrath will be terrible, his retribution swift.
I am not joking but he really is evil
I sadly think that just secured a MAGA victory. When I saw the photo of a triumphant Trump leaving the stage whilst fist pumping and bleeding, I thought OMG this is going to send MAGA supporters even deeper into blind frenzy hero worship. Project 2025 here we go.
I’m afraid you’re right.
Also, that blood looked too red for blood that wasn’t spurting.😭😭😭
If only there were a baby near by this could have been a Dead Zone moment when Trump’s evil would be displayed for all to see.

Jeez this isn’t going to end well.
Can I just say “lol”? That’s my first response…
and got his ear…
Please please let him die. What a horrible thing to say but man I can’t see this all ending well if he lives.
No. If he dies, it’s war immediately
I doubt it. He’s a leader of a cult, not Martyr. they know what happened to to folks on Jan 6th, and they know if he’s dead he can’t save them.
It’s all well and good to say you’re prepared to die for him, but actually doing it (especially once he is already dead) is another thing entirely.
Ah shit… That’s not going to end well
Wow. Shit. Never thought I’d see that
Was it staged? That pose at the end 🤢
No.
It’s very, very hard to aim precisely enough to hit someone’s ear but not the rest of their head. That’s an absurdly precise shot to attempt deliberately.
It can’t be a BB gun or something either. They lose velocity really quickly over any sort of distance, so his ear wouldn’t go to pieces like that with a BB pellet.
Real gun, real attempt.
I really don’t approve of violence for political purposes, but I can’t help but feel that the mongrel thoroughly deserves this or something like it. It’s a pity the shot went wild. Apparently the shooter is dead according to the abc.
The real downside is that he’s going to make political hay out of this - it’s a real gimme for motivating his voter base. Maybe even to saint and martyr status.
If the shot had struck home, he WOULD be a martyr. This is better
Yeah but there would be no one equivalent to replace him, so the traditionalist republicans might have a chance at regaining the party back from MAGAs.
Depending on how this plays out this could also stir up the public over there in not so good ways.
Trump’s going to ride this out and take it to his advantage sadly, I just hope he doesn’t kick the hornet’s nest with his supporters.
I doubt he’ll be able to stop himself. Too many self aggrandizing jollies on offer.
Unfortunately his son already declared that it was the extreme left that did it so it’s already political sadly.
Shame they missed even if I don’t condone it.
I really should have taken my clothes down yesterday when it was still sunny, even if they weren’t 100% dry.
Looks like a trip to the Laundromat is likely today unless it decides to stop intermittently showering.
So Richard Simmons died, but Trump lives??
Make it make sense!!
Wait, what?
Trump had an assassination attempt on him. Richard Simmons has passed away.
I posit their roles ought to be reversed lol
True. I could see Richard Simmons as President more than I can see Trump as a fitness guru!
Simmons was a good and kind person who did nothing but make people’s lives better. He was one of the first on tv who was inclusive
Trump. Reverse all that.
Truth. He was an inspiration, and did everything he could to help people be healthier. A true loss.
Simmons was very loved.
