Good morning, DT!! bindlesspins present and accounted for. What's on for the day?!
Just had a good sauna session.
I should study today and finish my assignments. we'll see.....
I'll attempt (half heartedly) to do some housework I didn't do yesterday. The mini peelers need their school uniforms washed so that's first cab off the rank. Then I'll produce some kind of chicken dish, maybe my ginger plum sauce chicken.
I need to get some housework done today, it's so never ending! What time should we all be over for chicken?!
I did my research last night for where I'd go for breakfast in Bright, walked up to it in the chilled morning drizzle eager for some (reviewer described) fluffy yellow eggs and coffee only to find, to my horror, that a sign on the door said "We are closed for annual leave until June 26, sorry we missed you"
I was so disappointed I left town immediately. I drove without a specific destination, in search of a place of fluffy yellow eggs and delicious coffee.
I find myself now in Wangaratta, sat inside a cafe I spotted as I drove through the city centre. Eggs ordered, sipping my coffee and listening to my audiobook through my headphones. The sun is shining.
What a terrible disapointment. I am very glad the story has a happy ending.
This modern trend of inaudible dialogue in film and TV is irritating.
I've turned on subtitles for so many shows recently, it's ridiculous.
I have drafted a no doxxing clause to add to the community guidelines https://aussie.zone/comment/173580
I feel like turning rules-based ideas like "don't dox people" into positive values-based statements is a very healthy experience. I need to do this in more areas of my life 🙂
If someone is feeling reach-ey out-ey... Here's some DT member names pulled from my RES:

Some of these people are probably already here.
Bacon’s doc is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oMhrX4Pal2el0Km6l_1C_INnqUCpr_E-L0NPYyYb49o/htmlview#gid=0
You can edit without needing to login/signup. 💪🏻
Edit: Also dumblederp, way to go on the names! I recognise a bunch, but wouldn’t remember them off the top of my head.
Oh I’m here !!
Hello! I’m here 🖤
Just spent the last few hours at the office "redecorating" for a coworker who's back from leave tomorrow. Cow themed. I've never been more productive
So were you mooving things around?
I’m sure your co worker will be udderly delighted by your very mooving gesture.
Reminder if you haven’t yet to pop yourself and any others contacted on Bacon’s spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oMhrX4Pal2el0Km6l_1C_INnqUCpr_E-L0NPYyYb49o/htmlview#gid=0
Seeing that Snazzy21 has been ‘contacted by god’ gives me the giggles each time I see it.
God works in mysterious ways
Good morning! This is your Chef speaking. For ingredients purchase purpose I have made a roll call spreadsheet. Please check that your name is there, and add those who are missing / you've messaged. There are a couple of people whom we can't remember the names of. Would be great if you know their names. Much appreciated.

First actual night sleep since Wed. This tum bug is the rudest.
I think half my carry-on luggage will be TP when i fly out on Tues. Funny to think but 3 years ago customs would probably question you about that.
I have just discovered there is a reference for all the emojis. https://emojipedia.org/
It has an official list of what they actually represent (which is what is read out when using text to voice software) and shows you what they actually look like on different platforms. You can paste an emoji into the search bar to look up what it means. Very handy if you are like me and spend way too much time wondering if that little face is actually smiling or grimacing.
biscuits
waiting at my desk for 10 whole minutes
for my oven to ding telling me it's done with it
In the distance I hear parties and pounding bass tracks
but I'm at home, warm and toasty, baking my midnight snacks
warm shortbread cookies with a caramel filling
cut shapes in the tops if you're able and willing
a delicious treat made with butter and dreams
and the magic of premade caramel creme
Have packed another couple tea mails for swaps overseas Last one i gave out 2 teas i dont drink and got 10 teas i do drink in return. So awesome 👌
Wait so the reddit CEO is now going after mods? My dude, you can disagree with them all you like, but don’t piss off the folks who keep your site from becoming bloody Twitter when they do it for free! Oh and he praised Elon…. Whilst Twitter are getting evicted from one of their offices for not paying rent.
Get comfortable gang! Looks like we’re not going home any time soon. And even if it were, suspect it’d be temporary!
That's the thing that gets me: they had mods working for free, people contributing content for free.. they rammed ads down people's throats to the tune of about $500 million in the past year and he goes after 3rd party app devs, some of whom were students (who also made their apps for free). I get it, people like to make money but JFC!
I've sat down to do the theory work for my first aid and cpr training tomorrow and I'm already falling asleep, curse my uninterested brain.
Mid-clean break: sausage and eggs on toast.
edit: failure to launch - sausage still frozen inside
I have arrived home, sans sickly little people. I think I’ll wander over to the market
Sauna was good. Then home for my usual Sunday "everything shower" as the kids call it these days.
Skin is scrubbed, legs are shaved, hair is washed, face is cleansed/toned/moisturised.
Made some iced lattes. Might force Mr Smeg out of bed so we can go mattress shopping.
Oh no. I just came to Bunnings to buy a rake. But I’ve just noticed that it’s bare root rose and fruit tree season…
Have been to market. I bought bread, I bought milk, I bought veg, I bought meat, I bought Turkish delight, I bought baba ghanoush…
I feel as though I’ve at least brushed against the food pyramid
I have two sick little girls in bed with me. We're watching Superkitties
How would you all feel about me sending an invite to the folks at r/melbournementalhealth? I've noticed that their sub is still open and there might be a few people on there we know who don't know about us yet or know where to find us. Just an idea.

Decided to take a punt on a dirty spice chai. Yeah nah… won’t be doing that again. I’ll drink it don’t get me wrong, but it’s neither a coffee nor a spiced chai. And therefore it’s the worst of both worlds.
Good news, I got some pants at the market and they're really good pants too, I've had them on my wishlist for a while.
Bad news, my dad and stepmum believed for a good moment of that hoax where school students identifying as cats that started in America. So... That was fun. They're not like cookers, but I can see why it's easy to believe that stuff. But man...
Sunday morning viewing of a couple of episodes of Vera.
Will possibly result in me calling people 'pet'
