This guy is five today! He is getting a batch of biscuits when my sister is done with work. I think they have cheese and peanut butter in them. Will attempt to get the recipe from her.
Happy birthday Golden King
What a beautiful colour he is. Happy Woofday buddy. 🍖
Sleepy doggy!
He’s beautiful. Happy birthday doggo!
This dog has nicer hair than most people
That’s what I say everyday. He is very lucky.
Gibson approved!
Patiently waiting for you to unbox it so she can fill it with TP
I’m making her a castle lol
This is just incredible 😂😂😂
nice catapult
A CATalyst amp box is perfect for Gibson!
Just grabbed a 2nd amp so I can have a stereo guitar setup!
I promise, this is very exciting lol
I think one of your Gibsons may be a little… unhappy?.. if you tried to connect them to an amp :D
😂
Well, your committed now
🤘
I went to Coles deli today and because I don’t go by weight I usually just say “a big handful of that thanks mate”. He was a dude with giant hands and I came out with 434gms of chorizo salami. It’s really good chorizo though. No complaints.
As a person with big hands, I have the opposite issue… Just a bit more thanks
I think he took it as a personal challenge because he laughed and I’ve never seen him even smile before.
Sneaky resident magpie stealing my chip just before.
The resident mudlark rocked up but this magpie just goes to town on it. Tonight mags did exactly that but still holding the chip in its beak. So lucky that bird and I are on very good terms. So highly aggressive but just not to me. Dogs, cats, other birds, people she doesn’t recognise it just goes flat out at them. I like her. She’s the protector. She earned that chip.
Magpies are the mob, that chip is the protection money you paid her
I got my hair cut and beard trimmed today so I look normal. My dad was always telling me to get it cut and there’s too much at stake, so I don’t want anything being a potential obstacle to another job.
And I think I might look alright? I’ve lost some hair and pretty much always had it tied back, so I’m not sure if I’d grow it out again when shit gets stable
Love me guys with long hair in ponytails tbh. Defo grow it back out when you’re stable!!
I liked the idea of long hair but was never completely happy with mine. I felt like it was curly in the wrong way and just felt like a lot of work to maintain for someone that didn’t want to put the effort in.
I love that martial artist man bun/ponytail thing some men do.
I recently got the “yes boss, I’m a functional adult you can hire.” haircut.
No one buys the excuse, ‘I look like shit because I’m so busy working’
I’m sure you’re looking fresh! I always feel great after a haircut, and walk around more confident for a couple days 😀
booo. Woke up with my heart pumping and feeling anxious. I guess I need to start actively incorporating relaxation techniques again.
Hugs.
I’m sorry you’re going through alot of shit right now.
One thing I like to do to de-stress is to write things down. Lists upon list. Mark things off. Add things. It helps to declutter my mind while actively getting things done.
I hope you find solutions to your troubles ♥
I’ve been there, ugh. Gentle hugs. I used to wake up around 1:30-2am with my heart pounding and in the midst of a panic attack. For some reason it helped me to ask myself, “what exactly am I anxious about and can I do anything about it right now?” It’s an awful feeling for sure.
Edit: for clarity.
Added fun if you’re afab: if you have no stressors you’re aware of, go see a doctor. Feelings of dread and heart racing can be indicative of cardio problems, we present differently to amabs
I just want to shout out to the teenagers emerging from the bushes after a bit of “Fun” at the park yesterday. I’m pretty sure I’m the only one who clicked what was going on, dont worry. I didn’t see anything NSFW, but dude you cant stagger out like your 10 tons lighter and have your girl emerge 5 seconds later adjusting her dress. Man teenagers are idiots hey.
Ah to be young again
You know, I ALMOST miss hanging out at maccas till 3am in bayswater and having fun in the back seat of a commodore or falcon.
Almost. not quite.
At least you got a big car to fool around in. Try that stuff in a Hyundai excel. No wonder my back hurts.
I dunno, hooked up in an impreza once. that was sub optimal.
I’m a weirdo who never had sex in a car. Is it as uncomfortable as it sounds? Fooled around a bit, sure. But for more, I can’t think of a worse place.
I suppose I moved out of home young, so there were better options.is it uncomfortable? heck yes. But well worth doing at least once in your life. Doesnt have to be IN the car. One a summers night “On the car” or doors open, boot, car adjacent. Its all good and all very doable.
Now Winter on the other hand, THAT becomes a struggle.
Nope. You have not sold it to me at all! On the car? Are we talking like the bonnet? The roof? I just have more questions! 😂
I can understand the back of a panel wagon: I remember they had special mattresses with the wheel wells cut out. Anything else though would be pretty restrictive. I was a fan of cuddling up together in the slightly reclined front passenger seat (I was smaller in those days). But the back seat was uneven and had all those pesky buckles and seat belts etc.
Looking back, its because I started late I expect and didn’t have that teenage sex period. I have always looked younger than my age, and well let’s just say that didn’t make me attractive to girls when I was in the 15-18 age range. I got my first girlfriend at 19.
I get to claim never ever about cars. Wooh! Just awkward and who needs a gearstick in their butt?!
typically you use the back seat not the front. though i have heard of front seat fun.
This reminds me of the ancient joke about Morris Minors - of the 101 things to do in the back seat. Number 47 was ‘Grab the steering wheel’.
Great song but a little creepy now
Big news. The deep sinkhole around the Telstra pit next door is finally getting fixed - three years after the plastic board was bolted to the ground. Nice bloke doing the fixing said that Telstra has QUADRUPLED the number of contractors hired to fix problems, and increased the managers that allocate/organise fixes from 7 to 26!!! Apparently if you SnapSendSolve a problem it’ll be done within a week - faster if someone has tripped or fallen. I will be very interested to see if this outbreak of efficiency lasts.
Hopefully somebody eventually fixes all the “temporary” yellow plastic board coverings on High St. they have been there since before Covid from memory.
I sent my biggest new client proposal today (in terms of dollar value) since starting this little insignificant business of mine. I thought it would take years before I’d be pitching for work of this value, but a few things lined up to get this opportunity. Spent hours thinking over the pricing to quote, resisting the urge to quote super cheap just to get in the work. I’m not about being the very cheapest, because I take pride in what I do and doing it well. But also I’m a one-man show so I need to be realistic on what people are going to pay for me vs bigger businesses. They probably come to me expecting cheaper. Thinking of pricing for my work sucks.
Fingers crossed they go ahead! It will keep me busy for a bit.
This pollen, be evil.
Indeed. I was a (minor) victim of Pollenpocalypse in Melbourne. I was still having breathing issues a month later. I miss some things about Melbourne, but the pollen and associated breathing issues are not among them.
ah crap is that what it is? my eyes are killing me!
Suffering here too :(
I’m trying not to pop a hayfever tablet every day because they still work for me. Today is a struggle.
It’s awful.
Currently wish I possessed neither tonsils nor ears
🔪
Cunning plan, might make my hat fit funny.
No more 🕶️
At night so I can see so I can see you 🎶
Very not looking forward to this week of work. Doing the latest possible shift, 1230 to 8.30. then week after that back to 8am to 4pm, much better.
Popped into the new QV Five Guys. First of all, I can’t believe Americans eat like this. There were enough fries in their smallest serving to comfortably feed a family of four, with leftovers for the next day. It looks expensive compared to other burger places but it’s probably fairly equivalent if you price it by weight. The fries and Cajun seasoning on them were so good. The burgers come with two patties; it took all my strength to push through the meat sweats to finish the last 20% of mine.
Overall, the fries were definitely a winner. I’d choose Huxtaburger over this if I was really craving a burg, even if the serving size there is smaller for the same price. I might be tempted to return for a milkshake or hotdog but maybe after a week or two recovery period. In the mean time think I need a shower. 😮💨
I put on a lot of weight after living in the US for the first few years. They have such a great selection of junk food outlets. I made a commitment to eat at least once at each one. Then it took me five years to get my weight back down again.
It’s been an absolute shit of a day except for getting the amp.
Thank fuck for music to de-stress.
What’s your rig look like now?
