P's dropped in from their travels to Noosa and gave me 3 t-shirts.

They all say "I LOVE Noosa"

I've never been (or intend to go) to noosa.

AI art?

I have far too many baking trays. I will not be culling just merely organising them in a better tetrisy way.

Onions on top today. North Eastern Melbourne Chinese Association are cowboys living on the edge of society

Iโ€™m so frustrated about my health and living situation. I was never hugely sporty but did like to be somewhat active like walking and tai chi and would love the energy/chance to garden. Iโ€™d love to be exercising and prepping good meals.

Even just getting away from the toxic elements of where I live would be amazing.

I counted 7 frying pans. 2 cast iron (1 flat, 1 griddle) 1 steel/aluminium (Idfk), 1 small for toasting nuts, 2 that go in the oven with a lids (1 large, 1 small) and one I use all the time. Plus a wok. I need to make decisions but maybe not today.

Sun out. Open window. Sun goes. Temp drops and wind starts. Close window. Repeat. One of THOSE days hey Melbourne?

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

yup, I have a jumper on but technically it's still winter so it's to be expected

Here I am StudSpud the Starchy
The poetic potato aficionado
But in real life I'm actually partly
Just your average f5 tornado

I don't look like an actual potato
I'm not a hot-as-fuck stud
I'm just a long dormant volcano
And now I'm certainly not a chud

Iโ€™m about to make a toastie, but donโ€™t know what I want in it.

Cheese and salami, or peanut butter and banana?

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

Bananas ought be illegal. Satay salami sounds curiousโ€ฆ

My legs are shot. 25kms isn't a super long ride, but you feel it when you're towing 2 kids and the last stretch is up hill

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago

My daughter one day "Daddy, why have we slowed down?". And here's my poor husband sweating bullets and pedalling as hard as he could while crossing the western highway on an overpass.

One 10% assignment done. Now to do a 20% one today, then the 40% ones due this week and the week after. Not even worrying about the ones after that yet. I feel like I'm making a tiny bit of progress.

Iโ€™m feeling depressed as hell. Internet Archive lost a copyright lawsuit and rare books or resources that could be unavailable in any other way might be lost.

I have to go to eBay or Amazon for even a hope of finding some classic art books secondhand and even then a used copy could be $50, $70, $100 plus. If I can even find it.

Huh. Old school friend (who I lost touch with and have tried to find in and off) friended me on FB and asked me to a mumble year school reunion.
Would love to catch up with her, but as for the other? I'd rather remove my own epidermis with a potato peeler.

School reunions - yeah, removing skin with a rusty lid of a tin can would be preferable.

The US Open Men's Doubles final is on now on Nine Go (ch99) if you want some entertainment with your breakie- Aussies Purcell and Thompson are a pretty good chance.

TIL about AI generated books, some of which are dangerous. These mushroom hunting books are wrong and could kill. So what other fake books are out there?

I always thought the machines would do the labour, and the people would make the art. Yet here we are.

Going on another ride with the bicycle users group today. My plan is to get to the meeting place early so the boys can have a bit of out of pram time before we head off
