I want to go nuts at Bunnings but am so limited by my body and environment.

I’m trying to make the best of being stuck here but it’s really taking a toll on my mental health. (Unfortunately anywhere else I move is likely to be worse or I may never be able to move at all)

I love kissing them. I know I shouldn't, but he always starts purring and kneading when I do.

I have discovered he also enjoys it when I give his belly kisses. Hands are for kicking when touching the belly, but my face is what he wants apparently.

Not happy when I blow raspberries tho heheheh

But I thought you shouldn't mix whites and Colours 🤔

He abolished segregation, starting with his own coat.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

next you’re going to tell me he likes warmth

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

He does, but it leeches his colour into his whites

in another instance this would be criminal, but a cat can do no wrong

He was dream-hunting in the last pic, completely zonked out and twitching. I think his dream-hunting was ultimately successful 😂

a dreaming cat is the best entertainment, especially when you see them dream eating

Hi Team! You must all be feeling relaxed and refreshed after today’s meaningful volunteering opportunity. As the kids say, touch grass. As a big family we look after your mental health. Doing yard work for the CEO’s parents benefits all stakeholders. Now please enjoy the rest of your relaxing weekend, remember to complete your optional upskill module due tomorrow before work starts. I look forward to seeing everyone’s smiles at tomorrow’s breakfast meeting!

I for one am honoured to be working for our overlords at Hamazon.

Do we get a pizza and a coke?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Coffee with complimentary milk and sugar.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

But we pay for the coffee?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You may bring your own coffee or opt to have $5 deducted from your pay.

But we aren't being paid for this family building exercise

I'm touching grass and it is blissful

Do not be tempted by the green apple candles at IKEA. They smell like burning plastic when lit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

Never light them. Stick them in a window sill in full sun to melt

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago

Synthetic shitty candles are a recipe for scent-induced headaches 🤮

Reading this is making me sneeze

Alright I'm done.

The set is practiced and recorded. Time for some gigs again. I've got 20 mins worth of songs which is plenty.

Plus now I have a demo reel for band auditions which I'm going to get back into next week.

Ah man. I'm really looking forward to this. I've missed it so much.

Have a great night everyone ❤️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

That's awesome. Be sure to share a bandcamp or something soon. I've plotted some things out but I need to find the time to properly record them and try put something out

TIL that woolys will replace your shopping bag free of charge even if it’s slightly damaged or stained

It’s a shame cinnamon toothpaste is much less common than mint. Like a couple of options exist, but I don’t buy because they either lack fluoride (Grants), are way overpriced (HiSmile, Marvis) or are a hassle to buy from somewhere other than a supermarket/involve third party sellers.

If there were basic fluoride cinnamon tubes at Colesworth though I’d probably give it a go.

Unflavoured toothpaste with fluoride would also be a good thing to have.

(Kids paste is milder but I think lower in fluoride and also not very appealing to me.)

I'd like more cinnamon stuff in general. Seems an underutilised flavour in Australia. Fireball is too sweet for me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

I agree. There were these tins of sugar free mints in cinnamon but those seem to have been discontinued. Big Red gum also doesn’t seem to be around anymore

My neighbor made this cake. Everything is edible except the doll. Simply stunning. It’s just a “hobby” lol.
