Those curls! You are adorable!
Such curly hair!! I must try to get those back 😂
Yes!
Plukka Duck!
I had that same Plucka!!! Would have loved that Ozzie Ostrich too!!
They’re my dad’s friends plushies hahaha! I’d play with them everytime we went to visit her! She had/has so many, mostly tigers (her fav animal), but this is such a special photo! It’s crazy I’d forgotten, but seeing this photo is bringing it all back in the best way possible!
I love everything about this :D
cutie pie! This is special.
There’s so many! Dad’s friend said she’ll send more if she finds any more as well! There’s a good 20 or so photos! Me at melb zoo, and at dad’s 25th birthday! I’m so fucking stoked!
eee!
EEEEEEEEEE!
That is wholesome and adorable 😍
There’s so many! A bunch from melb zoo as well! My mullet was epic!
omg, who is that cutie pie with the tigers? 🥰😘
Eeeee! 💜💜💜💜
Are those Hey Hey it’s Saturday plushies? sooo cute haha. I see Tigger too.
Yes! I mistook one for Donald duck as a kid, lol, even though I’d watch hey hey 😂
Amazing ❤️
Awww!!!
SO CUTE! Animal lover from the start <3
Haha it’s in my blood 😂😂
VERY cute 🥰
Tonight’s wave.
Not many people there.
another beauty 🙂
They’re always so different I love them :)
They are. I was just thinking of yesterday’s picture and how it is beautiful too and yet different. I love this. 🙂
Could I ask, roughly, what is the process of getting these cool shots?
Ooh sorry missed that comment.
Basically just bringing the DSLR into the ocean right at sunset, getting down low and hope you get a good one and not drop the camera lol. We run it through lightroom for a bit of noise reduction but the great thing is you don’t really need to change much as the sunset does it for you.
Basically just bringing the DSLR into the ocean
That sounds risky, but go you!
I wish I had a pampered house cats life.
I live for these pics 😂
I wish someone would stop watching me.
Awwww
I think you need this
This is fantastic. And highly accurate lol
Ready to spring into action if something happens. Because, you know, something might happen!
Hahaha. Waiting for the fridge door to open.
It’s sooo tough for them. Excuse the unmade bed, the reason I can’t make it is busy lounging around.
I have the exact problem! I get some pretty annoyed meows if I try to move Gibson in any way shape or form lol
Being installed tomorrow. Yeeha!!!
That’s really cool 😎
🥁
I thought they were synths :(
One day. They’ll probably all be behringers, but still!
all be behringers
Poor behringer so much hate. All of my behringer things are still working from years ago lol.
I can’t justify spending 3k on a synth. If I had the cash, I would. But I can spend $600 and get a Moog clone that sounds pretty damn good.
Oohh very nice!
Breakfast today, cold noodles with peanut sesame sauce and beef. Perfect for the heat today:
I think that looks great and delicious
I just got a lecture on how that type is meal is unhealthy
my suggestion to serve themselves less carbs if they don’t want so much carbs did not go down well , ( everyone in this house serves themselves )
apparently I should cook meals where a person should be able to serve themselves as much as they want
Maybe it’s time for them to do the cooking/marketing/meal planning. To a strict budget of course. This has an AMAZING effect on the level of food critiques received.
I have many angry things to say in response to this, so I’ll just send you some hugs.
Am also v cross about this, so sending hugs too
I just got a lecture on how that type is meal is unhealthy
Ooooo. They would starve or cook their own.
Maybe I’m doing noodles for dinner tonight.
Just got a call from a wrong number.
“Steve just callin’ 'bout your 400 head of cattle”.
Me: “You might have the wrong number, but good luck with the cattle”.
Him “oh, righto thanks mate”.
Probably the shortest most aussie convo I’ve had in a while.
Bit concerned for Queensland with the coming cyclone. Sounds like it might be very destructive. Hope everyone can stay safe.
Been thinking a lot about friends and family there. It’s looking very serious and worse than the usual floods and ex cyclones/tropical lows they get there. They haven’t had a real cyclone hit them bang on since what, 1974? They’re not as used to this as FNQ or the Pacific islands but I hope there won’t be any deaths at least.
Huge population growth since then, lots more people at risk of being affected now.
Yep. Most of my team at work is based in Brisbane and it’s all becoming a bit real with the disaster preparedness stuff and office closures etc
Definitely a worry.
They have hardly recovered from the last ones. ☹️
Am now in possession of a jungle bathroom.
steamy?
Can be arranged. I’ve stuck leaf decals everywhere.
Cool. 🙂
There’s more but I don’t like being in mirror shots 🙀
That’s SO COOL!!!
Thank you! 🌈
(Also not expensive and landlord safe!)
Very nice - works well with the coloured towels too. Makes me regret all my cream towels a little!
I’m a big fan of intentional mis match co-ord
So lent-ish, I’m giving up browsing reddit for the rest of the month. There’s plenty of more useful things I could do with my spare time than keep up to date with the high quality doom scrolling that’s available these days. If I need to do some research it’s fine but no wandering about in the endless void of it. Deleted my links on PC/phone, the digital equivalent of throwing my bong out.
Yea with you there.
I don’t mind climate doom scrolling on the collapse sub but the last few weeks over there have been, err… yeah too much.
You know what, I’m going to join you. Gonna be hard watching hockey without the shit talking on the hockey sub…maybe I’ll try to limit myself to that one. Usually politics free and decent banter.
Lent-ish! I like it!
My buddy didn’t like it too much when I tried to tell him he only lent-ish me $50
Does that mean you stole it from his piggy bank? I think it does.
Something I’ve been stressing about for at least a year came into the open at work today and everyone just sorta went 🤷♀️
Not sure if that’s good or not, but at least the stress is off my plate.
That’s a good thing, right?
Yeah, it is, I think I’m overthinking it!
@PeelerSheila@aussie.zone has provided me with A Game. Thank you @PeelerSheila@aussie.zone !
No worries! Hey that was quick, I only posted it on Saturday!
Nice one, I like when a community supports each other where able.
What did you post on Sunday? I missed it and couldn’t find it.
deleted by creator
I meant to edit but deleted 🤦🏼♀️I had some Nintendo 3DS and DS games and some in this group showed an interest so I posted a picture. Eagle, Tiny and Alamut very kindly offered to do me a solid and buy some of them. I posted them off on Saturday morning and Tiny and Alamut got theirs already.
Oh bugger. I missed it :(
Ah damn! And I took the 3DS games to EB for a trade :( I’ve still got some DS games left because they’re not opening trade for those until later in the year, but I think they’re stuff like Transformers etc. I can let you know if you like?
It’s good, unless you had something like Mario Golf World Tour or Kirby’s Epic Yarn I can’t think of anything I really wanted unless I saw the list.
I’m pretty ok with DS games I think as I’ve collected most of the obscure ones for myself awhile ago.
Also thanks to @PeelerSheila as well! Very excited to jump into them!
Mine arrived today too!
Awesome! I thought it wouldn’t be too far away! Pumps fist in jubilation
I finally bit the bullet and ordered some supplies to reupholster my couch & armchairs. I’ve been dithering for years over whether I want to spend the money doing that or just buy a new one. I have gotten to the stage of putting everything into the cart and seeing the total a few times, decided it was too much and started looking at new couches instead. Then I decide I quite like my couch and don’t really want the cheap junk I could buy for that price and circle back around to reupholstering again.
So now I have $840 worth of foam, webbing etc. ordered (I already have fabric) and fingers crossed I don’t mess it up. Miss Meow should be happy with my decision anyway, as the set has an open wood frame which makes the space underneath a good napping spot.
Watch as many videos on YT about re-upholstering as you can
and good luck
I suggest taking lots of photos while you deconstruct the old upholstery and wearing strong tradie gloves
This one’s fairly simple, it’s basically square cushions on top of a wood frame, for both the seat and back. There is no shaping or any fabric attached to the frame.
The only complication is that the seat base is done with tension springs attached to a metal frame that don’t seem to exist as replacement parts - I have found one supplier with something similar, but they don’t stock the right length. I’m going to use elastic webbing instead, which I’m at least familiar with using from previous projects, although I’ve not done anything larger than a dining chair.
I’m mostly a bit nervous about getting the piping on the cushions right. There was someone in the sewing sub on reddit that posted their project the other day which was almost identical, with links to a YT video they used and recommended so I will watch that one.
I’ve done sofa cushions. If making self piping make sure the piping cord is very loose so it doesn’t twist and so it bends easily, inside the tube, double stitch the corners with small stitches and cut the corners so they bend
are you making your own bias binding? Make the binding at least 5 cm wide
if buying sew in cord same goes, have it loose so it doesn’t twist or bend, double sew corners and snip the corners
Right so the solution to my insomnia it seems, is to be so fucking wrecked from the gym, that I pass out.
This is the longest stretch of sleep I’ve had in a really long time.
I’ll try again tomorrow night and see what happens.
Night vs morning gym?
Late afternoon. So around 3pm-ish.
have a sudden craving for in the night garden. now watching upsy daisy and her special stone.
spoiler
upsy daisy wants to ride the ninky nonk, so she gave her special stone to igglepiggle to look after, even gave him a kiss on the lips before leaving, but he went off to play ball and forgot about the stone
Our dog loves in the night garden. I think it’s the bright colours. Sometimes we’ll watch an episode with him as a treat.
Derek Jacobi’s voice is so soothing
He is and has always been an extraordinary actor. I sometimes wonder if he kept a straight face recording his part
I have always had a soft spot for the ninky nonk, so cute!
After about 15 years of service, my washing machine died last week. I am now the owner of a brand new washer! Old machine was a top loader and new one is a front loader, so there may be some trial and error to figure out my preferred wash cycles. Mount Washmore here I come. Good weather for drying too.
Front loader owner for the past 20 years.
Clean the door seals regularly. They can get clogged up with hair and other shmutz. Quick wipe around (and inside the grooves) once a week or and you’re golden.
As CEO said, much, much less detergent.
Cycles - I’ve been using ones that go for 40-60 minutes generally. Never an issue with cleanliness and freshness. If it’s a smart washer with lots of programs, ones specifically for towels are a must. Might take a bit longer but towels end up brilliant.
Oh, and front loaders are gentler on all fabrics :)
Do you use any cleaning agent on the seals or just a damp cloth is enough?
No cleaning agent. Wipe them down with a damp cloth and leave the door and detergent compartment open when finished. Helps stop mould from forming.
Hygiene wash is important. Don’t skip it.
Damp cloth does the job. You can use a bit of soapy water or something similar, but probably won’t need it if cleaned regularly.
I think shmutz is my new favourite word
It’s great isn’t it?
Congratulations! Front loaders only need a fraction of detergent compared to a top loader. Mine takes a tablespoon worth for a full load.
That stuffs not cheap so that’s a pleasant bonus that I hadn’t realised. I knew about the less power and water, but woohoo less detergent too!
Added to the other’s comments, stick with powder detergent. For some reason the liquid made mine stinky. Switched back to powder and no smell.
You don’t need to use the max spin dry most of the time, it adds wear to your clothes.
