My favourite thing is naming pets with human names. Like my cats are Bob and Rosa (Bob was named after Silent Bob but I revoke it and he's named after Bob the Drag Queen -- he was named by my ex-stepdad. Rosa is named after Rosa Diaz from Brooklyn 99). Can't wait to name a pet Greg.
Eeeeee!!!!! I accidentally found the cat's cuddle spot!!! 😻😻😻 it's much closer to the TV than I would normally sit but I decided to sit there while petting her and she CRAWLED ONTO MY LAP. I nearly died. I didn't have my phone but when she got up for a bit I grabbed it and sat back down and here she is purring up an absolute storm. She hasn't cuddled at all the whole 2.5 weeks I've been here - I'll sit here all day long to feel her purring contentedly against me1. Oh please kitty cat don't let this be a one time thing. We can chill any time. Any time at all. <3
Cats are so good at making feel like a piece of useless garbage but they also make you feel so special and divine when they choose to lavish their love upon you. No, I am not a battered cat slave, don't send help...
She's not at that stage yet. She prefers to stay mostly adjacent. I went to go feed her (I'm guessing this cuddliness was all a ruse...!) and now she's back to ignoring me from the other side of the house. But if I can be cat trapped by her before I head back home that would be an accomplishment indeed.
Hey just so you know, the image description for vision impaired users was actually already in the alt text of the photo in that comment (which you put in the square brackets when you use markup). That's how image descriptions are meant to work. If you hover over the photo on desktop or long press to open the image in another tab on a mobile browser you'll see the description.
Just fyi about accessible tech if you're going to keep wanting to label peoples photos.
Ok well I use the safari version of Aussie.zone on my phone only, to me it just looks like it’s just the photo of your cat with nothing else. I tried long pressing and it didn’t do anything. Whatever the case, I must be the only person who didn’t realise this and apologise for adding the ID and I promise never to add an ID to any future image from anyone :) thanks for letting me know
Ok so I looked into this and amazingly enough the only way it seems that you can access the alt text on Safari iPhone is to actually turn on VoiceOver in Settings>Accessibility - which most vision impaired users (those would need alt text at least) would use anyway in order to navigate the OS, but sucks if you're testing. When VoiceOver is activated, and my comment is read out (you can try it by selecting it with the image in Safari), VoiceOver does indeed read the alt text.
You won't have the same issue with Chrome on iPhone, you can long press and see the alt text.
I trusted you, Goddess. I could have hung up my laundry indoors last night, but I remembered your comment saying today was going to be 18 degrees. So I waited and hung out my stuff on the line this mroning and it dried perfectly throughout the day. So - thanks! I'm glad I held off instead of having clothes cram up my house. Cheers!
Flashback to a concert at Festival Hall when Wayne started the show by rolling out on top on the crowd in one of those inflatable mouse ball things, then proceeded to sing the first 3 or 4 songs whilst being rolled around on-top of the crowd by the crowd ...

I've been invited to fill in a survey on my experiences as a student. The email says I am from a "unique group of students". I think this might be a polite way of saying "you're really old for a student".
I am amused by the phrase 'unique group'. If unique, then by definition not a group. If they meant 'small group' why didn't they say so. Fancy word syndrome strikes again.
I have a Melb Uni tshirt with 'minimise sesquipedalian circumlocutions' written across the front. I cherish it.
I want one. A quick google search revealed that I can buy many tshirts with just the word sesquipedalian on it in a variety of fonts but not that tshirt :( can you still get them or no?
Ok, lunch is packed. Camera battery charged. I'm ready to head off for the day. Be good while I'm away, and keep your finger's crossed that the rain holds off long enough this afternoon that I don't come home a soggy Raven.
The clouds have rolled in over Thornbury. The soft undersides of the clouds are beginning show the warm glow of approaching sunset. Well, either that or Footscray's on fire, and I'm sure someone would have mentioned it if that was the case.
Alrighty! Got a new wok and the ingredients for a tofu sitrfry. Gotta say, I haven't made a stir fry from scratch before and the amount of various exotic oils was unexpected lol
Sort of funny but ever since the housemates cat came home from the vet my cat is not happy with him, 9yrs doesn't matter when you're gone for a few days. Also my cat is doing this thing where he approaches housemates cat and just sort of hisses in his face and walks away, and it's so stupid and funny.
The most frustrating part of fixing this vertigo is that I have to purposely make myself dizzy. It's an awful feeling but I have to fix it before work on Tuesday.
My skin has been a lot drier this winter so I bought this product called Glory Oil by Eco Tan. Holy crap. It basically instantly fixed my skin and I have never looked so smooth and glowy in my life! 🥰
I really neglected my self care and appearance while pregnant last year because I was sooo sick. I couldn’t even stand to shower for more than a few times a week. Just miserable. But now at nine months post partum I am finally finding the time/energy/willpower to do morning AND night skincare, regular hair washing and styling, a bit of exercise, and I’m going to try and cut down on my insane sugar consumption (craved it so bad when I first started breastfeeding, now it’s just a bad habit). Oh and I need to cut down on screen time because it’s baaaaaad 🙈
Day 4 and it's a rest day, so I just did my tummy exercises. Now Mr Peeler is up I can put on some washing. The Miniest Peeler this morning said, "you're going to have to get new clothes soon Mum." When I asked her why she said, "because the only thing that's holding up your clothes is your fat." 🤣
Kind of hoping for climate change to result in what happened in The Day After Tomorrow. Can I be stuck in a flooded, frozen city, in a library, and get naked with a hottie to keep warm? I'm looking forward to re-enacting that hot af scene tbh
Sorted out the delivery. Thankfully this time when I said no to the chat service I got a human. A few items were out of stock which was a pain.
Still been trying at digital because pencils and paper require me to sit up for too long. It’s frustrating though. While I picked the controls up quickly and have been managing to ‘paint’, sketching smoothly or with any precision is near impossible and kind of forcing me to relearn bad habits (pressing too hard just so the stylus will register, and chicken scratching).
It’s probably the limitations of the basic program and small equipment (it’s an on the go visual note taker for phones with fewer features than the standard version) plus my posture. But it’s really hard not to take poor results personally.
Edit: I went into the settings of the pencil and turned ‘streamlining’ up to 100 which helped a lot. Much closer to a real pencil. But yeah. That control has to be manually trained for a real pencil so it feels like a skill issue :(
Spewing that I’m not in great physical condition now and can’t really garden. Seed libraries are around if anyone wants to try it.
Also I’m not sure of the heavy metal in the soil (the tested map sites on either side vary) so I’d have to do raised beds which don’t move house well. And if I went outside the furry baby would either be crying inside or follow me out and take the chance to abscond. Melbcat’s a fully indoor kitty now.
I know that leafy veg have shallow roots and require less light so maybe that’s a go, window box inside. Maybe more cat grass. Paris Market carrots are also very short and round for containers, I think root veg also need less light than fruiting plants. But I have to fork out more for either self watering pots or watering spikes for bottles because I’m not going to remember.
It all adds up at Bunnings 💸 But I’m just trying to think of something constructive but not overwhelming while I feel like shit
People can get things very wrong. Have a look at the bozo answers. Australian slang I get that you might never have heard it. It doesn't mean the op is wrong though.
reddit has turned in to a steaming pile of crap. or maybe it was always like that.
thankful we moved away for our special kind of banter.
A gig is a job, a kind of horse cart but I'd never heard of being a sticky beak slang term, learn something every day. I'll never quite understand why people bother to waste time being jerks online.
'Initial public offering'. Just means they're going from a private company to a public one where you can buy shares. Also means it'll probably go to (further) shit. heh.
People enjoy shitting on others to make themselves feel superior. It's gross. I have not heard of 'gig' in that context, but I didn't grow up in every single state, city, and town in Aus simultaneously. OP is just trying to the slang-etymology for that usage, doesn't mean they're wrong. Netizens can be so cuntish.
I was sufficiently moved by the confidently incorrect assertions of some of the respondents to this post to add my own contribution. Yes, I know people that use the word "gig" in this manner, and u/Positive_Complaint had to dust off her 3rd party app and add her 5c!
Product recommendation:
image: Bull's-eye Carolina Reaper and Black Garlic hot sauce. It's the hottest sauce I've ever bought from a non-specialty shop. It's also insanely tasty, and a little goes a long way. Available at Woolies for $4.75. side note: I do not recommend their less spicy bourbon infused one - not very tasty.
I have outdoor garden lighting that stopped working. I have narrowed it down to the transformer. Ordered one online and that was a no-go. Tried Middys. They were no help. Maybe Beacon can hook me up today. I might have to build my own.
When I asked you all to cross your fingers that the rain did not come before I got home I was envisaging you holding off the weather. But I guess having my afternoon seminar cancelled so I'm home early works too. 🤷♂️
I was actually a bit relieved it was cancelled, as I was pretty tired from walking so far. The morning was absolutely beautiful for it, lovely and sunny without being too hot for walking. Now I just need to spend some time getting my photos off the camera.
Lumpy and cylindrical, the burrito takes its name, according to one theory, from the bedroll that Mexican miners and travelers would drape across the saddle of a donkey, or burro in Spanish. Another possible origin suggests that street vendors sold burritos from baskets attached sidesaddle to their burros, the conveyance transferring its name to the thing conveyed.
I had a fairly cheap Vax stick vacuum which worked well (until some a***hole workman killed it). I now have an Electrolux, which is a bit more expensive but I am very happy with it.
We're busy little bees here so my daughter's playing DJ. Such bands as Sisters of Mercy, Deftones and I don't know who they are. What I do know is, I don't appreciate being screamed at.
The photos of my day have now been sorted. I put a couple in a post on the Main Page, and there is a link to my blog there if you want to see the whole lot. I should pick one for the pictures community too, get some more Melbourne representation there.
One had seagulls and a cormorant, one had some ducks. They are still new and should grow and provide better habitat over time. I hope they work out well and we get more of them.
oh gees, that scene in Castaway where Chuck finally escapes the island on his raft. For the first time since the crash there is music. The heart swells. 🥺🥺🥺 Such a good movie.
Slight chance of sky pretty. Boring as day. Rested and did housework. Vege stew for this week turned out great though. I hope I can remember the spice herb chile mix next time, but I doubt it. Cats are up so now it's time for the hated vaccuum.
I bought some cans of Lynx for the first time since high school because I liked some of their nose flavours and they were half price. Turns out Lynx sucks as an actual deodorant. Shame.
I've been rewatching an ungodly amount British crime shows, and today I thought I'd treat myself to a rewatch of Ashes To Ashes. Holy dooly, I forgot how hilariously wild this show was, Keeley Hawes decked out in 80s garb has me cackling.
Went to the doctor this morning, turns out the dizziness which increased immensely today is due to Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Eg I get dizzy from looking up and down and I have crystals in my ear canal. So I've got to shake my head 10 times, 10 a day to fix it. Lol.
On another note, I've never seen this doctor before and they asked in Straight or gay?? I answered without thinking and it wasn't until I left that I questioned the necessity of that question. Lol.

Met my future dog yesterday.
Long story, but the owner has breast cancer and needed to find a forever home for a staffy (my dream dog).
Spent about 2 hours with him yesterday making sure he'd be happy with me as his human. He's very shy but we both fell in love.
Meet Adam the new love of my life 😍

My skin has been a lot drier this winter so I bought this product called Glory Oil by Eco Tan. Holy crap. It basically instantly fixed my skin and I have never looked so smooth and glowy in my life! 🥰
I really neglected my self care and appearance while pregnant last year because I was sooo sick. I couldn’t even stand to shower for more than a few times a week. Just miserable. But now at nine months post partum I am finally finding the time/energy/willpower to do morning AND night skincare, regular hair washing and styling, a bit of exercise, and I’m going to try and cut down on my insane sugar consumption (craved it so bad when I first started breastfeeding, now it’s just a bad habit).

Sorted out the delivery. Thankfully this time when I said no to the chat service I got a human. A few items were out of stock which was a pain.
Still been trying at digital because pencils and paper require me to sit up for too long. It’s frustrating though. While I picked the controls up quickly and have been managing to ‘paint’, sketching smoothly or with any precision is near impossible and kind of forcing me to relearn bad habits (pressing too hard just so the stylus will register, and chicken scratching).
It’s probably the limitations of the basic program and small equipment (it’s an on the go visual note taker for phones with fewer features than the standard version) plus my posture. But it’s really hard not to take poor results personally.
Edit: I went into the settings of the pencil and turned ‘streamlining’ up to 100 which helped a lot. Much closer to a real pencil. But yeah. That control has to be manually trained for a real pencil so it feels like a skill issue :(
melbaboutown@aussie.zone · 6 pts · 3y
Spewing that I’m not in great physical condition now and can’t really garden. Seed libraries are around if anyone wants to try it.
Also I’m not sure of the heavy metal in the soil (the tested map sites on either side vary) so I’d have to do raised beds which don’t move house well. And if I went outside the furry baby would either be crying inside or follow me out and take the chance to abscond. Melbcat’s a fully indoor kitty now.
I know that leafy veg have shallow roots and require less light so maybe that’s a go, window box inside. Maybe more cat grass. Paris Market carrots are also very short and round for containers, I think root veg also need less light than fruiting plants. But I have to fork out more for either self watering pots or watering spikes for bottles because I’m not going to remember.
It all adds up at Bunnings 💸 But I’m just trying to think of something constructive but not overwhelming while I feel like shit

Lumpy and cylindrical, the burrito takes its name, according to one theory, from the bedroll that Mexican miners and travelers would drape across the saddle of a donkey, or burro in Spanish. Another possible origin suggests that street vendors sold burritos from baskets attached sidesaddle to their burros, the conveyance transferring its name to the thing conveyed.
