Cole's tinned tuna chunks in brine go down really well with my cat. Cheaper by the tin than cat food. Mostly she just gets quality kibble for a balanced diet. The maggies eat probably a 1/3 of that.
Spent the afternoon having to remind myself that Other Adults are responsible for regulating Their Own Responses, it is Not My Responsibility. And BIG EMOTIONS were being had today.
Fuck the wine, I'm going straight for the vodka. Regulate that.
Decided to pull some of her beach combing stuff out and think about displaying it. She was a spinster, teacher and hit the beach every day in Warrnambool, very kind woman. I remember packing all of this away when she passed many moons ago as a kid.
Oh wow, this is a beautiful ( and valuable ) collection. The necklace looks like a real traditional rare First Australian necklace. It may be very old. They all deserve to be displayed. 😊
Is it even a proper burnoff if you don't either singe the eyebrows or end up with a visit from the fire brigade?
I would't worry about the CO2 from it too much, if you used it as mulched or composted it the same amount of CO2 would be released, just over a bit longer timeframe. The small particle polution on the other hand, that can be a bit of a problem. Although only really in aggregate with lots of people doing it.
It's going to be unpleasant, those aren't a modern recreational sort.
I can't tell from that pic if the lock pins are there or not. Do not attempt cleaning yourself if wishing to sell as an antique.
Still on holiday. Have been pretty active and social the last few days so having a quiet life thinking and reading day. And some phone admin to completely separate work and personal stuff on my phone. It's nice to do little things and tick unkaos boxes
Yeah it’s all due to a big gas powered boiler running a hydronic system on both levels of the house. The heated floors are fucking sweet but there’s obviously a financial shockwave that comes round a couple times a year haha.
Today I bought 3 antiques from the opshop, an ink bottle from about 1900 and 2 Czech glass necklaces from the 1930s, a simple opal glass festoon and a crystal beads on silk. all up, $15- They are not valuable , would not have been fancy or expensive when new, this was from Footscray and Footscray has always been poorer. But they are sweet and pretty and I think loved as people kept them for 100 years.
Shopping is complete: new glasses picked up, plus a few things from NQR and Shepp cannery outlet. Hopefully this means I can avoid having to do any further in person shopping for at least a couple of months.

I feed my cats the brand Fussy Cat.
It's best quality. Today they decided it's not good enough.
Is there a cat food called Fussy Bastard
Taleya@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 34d
I get a couple brands - some purina, some applaws, some fussy cat, etc. A box of each. Mix them up and alternate. Keeps them off guard

My partner's cats get raw kangaroo mince too. Does it get fancier than just meat?

I hope you are feeling better after a few. Vodka here is regulated to 75mL or 1 litre. Other countries sell it by the gallon.

those are really old, like over 100 years old
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 33d
Hopefully it involved a safe word.

Previous comment was that she was a teacher - probably confiscated from a pupil ... well, we can hope.

Maybe she was keeping a prisoner in the back shed.

Yeah it’s all due to a big gas powered boiler running a hydronic system on both levels of the house. The heated floors are fucking sweet but there’s obviously a financial shockwave that comes round a couple times a year haha.

24 hours in of listening to the biography of John Le Carre. I am starting to have opinions. 4 hours to go, then the scathing review will commence.
he is no Graham Greene, never was , he isn't even Holly Martins
