When you haven’t handed out treats for the 47th time today:
You monster!
There was someone playing a song from Interstellar on the piano just now in Melbourne Central. It was beautiful! I was totally entranced, stopped my youtube, stopped eating, just sitting there totally caught up in it. I didn’t get to see them before they disappeared, wish I could’ve said thankyou.
Nice change from the guy with the Chinese ‘violin’ who seems to know 2 songs
Made it just before sunset.
Blarg. Very little sleep thanks to hole in the gutter making incessant drum noises. Really sick of this house.
I’m crafting the resume with a “Christian” first name. Let’s see how this plays out.
Jesús ?
🤣
Chris?
My husband has had a “Christian” name for 30+ years now.
He’s middle eastern right? If so, I totally get why.
Yep. His Arab name is only short and you say it how it’s spelt but hey whatever gets you the job.
Exactly. I love my name but it is what it is for the moment.
Choose a name with the same number of syllables, the same hard sounds and if possible the same end. That way you will respond in a natural way when your name is called.
for example. Hasim becomes James/Jim
That’s a great idea!
Names are precious. Keep your real name for with your loved ones , in private of course.
They’re more likely to go with Harry or Sam
It’s really sad that this has to be done but I totally understand having to do what you gotta do to get back on the ride.
I am extraordinarily lucky that I work in a small industry with skill shortages and am at the point where they’ll read my whole resume rather than throw it out at the name. Different story if I decided to go into a different field tho.
I’m about to vacuum. He is not going to like it.
Hello, RSPCA? I’d like to report a vacuuming…
mowing, laughing children, vegetables, cats, flies…
Your image broke my boost
Free coffee? Don’t mind if I do!
🍩 have this to go with it
I am proceeding on foot, call in a code 8!
We need pretzels, repeat, pretzels.

I swear on my mum’s life…if my neighbour is out watering today I’m dropping him.
He was out there with the hose yesterday at lunchtime.
I nearly did that with mine yesterday after his dog bit mine again for the second time in 2 years. I mean, it was a jack Russel vs a Kelpie, I like my dogs chances, but told him if it happens again his dog will have the honor of being the second dog in orbit cause I’m punting it at the sun.
I cannot imagine not having a dog on a lead or behind a fence/gate.
What a knob.
Yep, his defense was “I only turned my back for a minute” but when the wife went over to play “Good cop” to my “Pull your head out of your fucking arse you C***!” cop, he admits the dog has issues. So why was it allowed out the front unsupervised at all?
at the park, on the farm?
Farm is different, not in public. Dog parks are generally fenced off, no?
Not having recall/control over a dog and letting is loose is irresponsible.
Maybe he doesn’t like his wife.
I’m pretty sure no one likes his wife.
Bang. There you go.
I knew an old bloke who bought a shop just so he could sit out the back and listen to the races without the wife nagging. She was forbidden from entering the shop. Fuck he hated customers.
what did he sell out of curiosity?
Not much.
Locals knew not to go in there because he never changed the oil but if you happen to stumble in there and ask for something other than fish n chips he’d yell DOES IT LOOK LIKE I MAKE HAMBURGERS. CAN’T YOU READ. FISH AND CHIPS as he pointed to the board which had no prices on there at all other than the words Fish and Chips.
I got the hose out today…to fill the standalone maze tanks for the potted fruit trees from the big downpipe tank. Makin’ room.
That makes sense. He literally waters his grass and bushes even when the ground is soaked.
could be working on hydrophobic soil. Or he could just be an idiot.
His soil is the same as mine as we share the front lawn. In summer my grass gets fairly yellow, his stays green. By May, there is no difference in how they look after some autumn rains.
Downpipes cleared!
So some lessons learnt over the years…
- Fuck leaves and debris in gutters and putting it off
- Fuck too much water
- Right angles in downpipes can get fucked
- Use your ears to
seehear if you’ve unfucked it - Having no plumbing plan is bad and fucked. Write it down, all of it.
:)
Wise words friend, our overflowing gutters kept waking us up during last night. Looks like one of them has rusted through as well.
I hate that so much. If you’re unlucky it could flood your ceiling/eaves. In the end those bristle things were installed in the gutter to keep leaves out
Before anyone blames trees for existing I’d like to suggest a gutter guard to help keep leaf debris from clogging up the gutters themselves and any downpipes.

Thank goodness you’re back bacon because we had a weirdo here trying to give away electronics.
Here’s a complimentary biscuit 🍪
nom nom
First day of work since I got the lurgie. Managed fairly well.
Fortunately it’s the quiet week.Careful saying something is free, the coffee’s gonna get OzBargain’d
Hahaha ☕
Spiders
A baby huntsman moved in last night. Nice, I want him to eat the bugs. I also hope this one has the commonsense to stay out of range of Melbcat’s punches. (Nothing bad happened to the last one. He was just a dumbarse who had to be evicted for his own safety.)
Thank you for the spoiler warning here 💛
No worries, I generally try to give a warning for anything touchy like that
Up all night playing Surviving Mars. Don’t mind me, I’m just colonising mars in the far future 🌌
I actually bought that a few weeks ago, but I wasn’t a fan of it
Fricken love that game. One of the best epic store free games I ever got.
Meteors keep crashing into my pipes at choke-points… Not sure if random or “random”
[Insert suss Fry meme]
Have a few regrets not cleaning one of the gutters before last night. Not a happy downpipe.
If there’s one thing that comes up in convos seemingly every time about problems with a house, it’s water.
It giveth life, it taketh time and cash monies.
Watching the guy from Site Inspections it’s nearly always water damage. When it’s not structurally unsound frames or fake Hebel.
The old homes from the 60s and 70s are looking better and better.
