Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Taleya, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah tomorrow the carpenter is coming to size up and measure and scurry away to build our massive wraparound built in bookcase with cupboards and a space on top for the felines to reign supreme. We’re calling it Catmandu. Not only will boxes upon boxes of books finally be back on shelves, but the cupboards give us space for servingware, which means we can juggle some small appliances and cheesemaking apparatus to free up space in the kitchen for the dishwasher and end His Lordship’s never-ending handwashing nightmare. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
melbaboutown, In Catadu did Kubla Cat A stately pleasure dome decree
Taleya, (edited ) In catmandu did my felines a pleasure dome…eeerRECT!
(Frankie scans better. Although now i rather perversely have Olivia Newton John stuck in my head)
Cendana, You’re a good cat slave.
just_kitten, Something’s definitely in the air, smells a bit off and headachey inside my friend’s place. It IS horrifically dusty in this house anyway due to all the renovation works and piles of boxes everywhere, but there’s another element to it tonight.
Luckily it’s my last night here and it’s delightfully warm, so it’s been an opportune time for a rare cleanout/self care. Most of the place has gotten an airing and a vacuum and even (gasp) a mop. Gave the kitchen and various surfaces a good clean, washed various blankets and clothes, had a nice shower and chamomile tea, applied some heavenly body oil I got as a sample and did a session on the shakti mat & pillow, all I’m missing now is a live love laugh poster.
Put their itty bitty air purifier on, just waiting for the dryer to finish another round now and I’ll probably be out like a light soon while desperately trying to finish this giant book (Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese) by tomorrow…
Did a bit of packing today too and the poor cat must’ve sensed it, she was being particularly needy and attention seeking today. 😿
Bottom_racer, So, bros wedding coming up this w/e which I’m excited about.
But it has been dropped on me I’m going to a rehearsal on thursday (I’m not doing anything at the wedding), going out for dins with brides’ extended fam friday, and looking after their cat for 10 days apparently from the day after their wedding. It’s all good but I’ve heard all of that second hand and it keeps changing which I’m not impressed about.
Like I understand it’s a massive day / moment and it’s stressful but this sort of stuff should be communicated not within the week of it happening.
Thank you for listening.
Pilk, Nah I’m with you. That would shit me.
Bottom_racer, Thank you for the solidarity :)
I thought I was going mad.
just_kitten, This is good quality outrage and you’re NTA here.
Single childless family members unite, we’re often the last to be thought of.
Bottom_racer, Heh yeah for real.
I’ve sometimes wondered if that’s a thing and it’s probably not too far off.
I’m gonna do the things but yea… thoughts about it all.
SituationCake, What’s everyone watching on tv? Looking for a new show
DolphinLundgrin, Mr Inbetween was excellent!
Gibsonisafluffybutt, What do you guys think of pet insurance? Is it worth it?
Seagoon_, Read the condition carefully. With all the exemptions personally I found it cheaper to go to Lort Smith and pay .
Taleya, Depends. We have three cats, it was honestly worth more to us to chuck the X amount per month we would have paid in insurance into a savings account instead. We got 2k stashed in there atm (and this is with a cat with an ongoing renal condition), unlike insurance it covers EVERYTHING
But if you have a large dog and can get one that covers joint problems, I can see the worth.
Llabyrinthine, A bit of a downer, but I can’t stop thinking of that poor man in Geelong walking his dog.
I was driving home last night after dropping a friend off and drove past one of our local parks and thought how nice it was to see people out late walking their dogs.
melbaboutown, That was messed up. When I saw that headline I thought it was a medical event, but apparently he may have caught someone breaking into his car
CEOofmyhouse56, I think it might have been the twiggy sticks but fuck I’m letting them rip and little dog’s taking the rap. I’ll repay him in chips later on. He keeps licking the air. Lol
Seagoon_, air biscuit
Bottom_racer, (edited ) Introducing the BLOSSOM DAWG
https://aussie.zone/pictrs/image/cf1358a6-e716-4c54-9406-8bb3ff14c4e1.jpeg
Edit. It’s actually a pretty tasty tree. I thought it’d taste like grass but that was alright.
useless_modern_god,
bull, I can’t endorse or encourage this behaviour I’m sorry. I’m glad you’re having fun and trying new things though.
Bottom_racer, Look. It’s a limited edition. One of things where the food scientist goes 'hey, that’s a good idea" and then it mysteriously goes missing from the shelves a few weeks later.
just_kitten, Having been to Japan several times with their sakura flavoured things and sakura petals as garnish. I approve. Though not with that ghastly colour combination and that very chewy off tasting bolted coriander leaf.
Bottom_racer, I know. The coriander has just gone early after this week, it was dark, it was late, I was hungry when picking it and I’m all out of excuses now :(
calhoon2005, doggo Halloween costume - yes
CEOofmyhouse56, Yes
PeelerSheila, “And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat upon him was Death, and Hell followed with him.”
Force_majeure122, I forgot to buy cheese. Now I’m destined for a cheese-less Wednesday. This is the worst thing to happen to me all September.
calhoon2005, Ooh cheese. Don’t mind if I do.
SituationCake, Oh that is no gouda. You must feel unfettad sadness. No cheer for you.
Bottom_racer, triple points!
Seagoon_, squeee, I’m going to visit new Ted Cat tomorrow morning, I really hope I can get him. 💗😸
Duenan, I hope you get him too.
Don’t forget the cat tax when you bring him home!
Seagoon_, For sure, there will be a million pics. 😍
CEOofmyhouse56, We ate like pirates tonight. No cutlery necessary with cherry tomatoes, qukes, twiggy sticks, crackers, dips, olives, gherkins. We were savages. Yo ho ho.
Duenan, A feast for the ages.
Don’t forget the bottle of rum.
CEOofmyhouse56, I would but it’s a Tuesday
Bottom_racer, HAWT DAWGs with jalapenos and coriander.
Tempted to put a few cherry blossom petals on too. I mean, now would be when you’d do that. in a few weeks one gust of wind and all gone!
Seagoon_, Chook is in the oven roasting, tidying continues
whatisthislifeilead, Ducking out to the pub for a cheeky outdoor pint was great in hindsight but I still have emails to answer booooooooooooo
