Hi, I’m new here. Another reddit refugee. I used to use sync and now am waiting for sync for lemmy. Long live sync!
I’m having a mostly quiet Sunday. My sister and her sons are visiting from the states. It’s been pretty full on with them here. They’re visiting Osborne house today (her older son is a big fan of Queen Victoria - go figure) and I’ve ducked out and am playing zelda and listening to music.
I’m sitting here in my daughter’s room, while she had an absolute banger of a meltdown. But upside is I’m taking the time to research what it would take to self-host my own Lemmy instance. I like the idea of my own personal instance that I can then federate through, rather than my account being tied to someone else’s instance.
Oooh it’s nice to see this place getting some users finally. I’ve been here since the black outs.
In the time in between I’ve been learning to rubiks cube with my Reddit time and have now managed a solve in under 5 minutes.
Just rolled out of bed with achey legs because I went to the gym for an hour yesterday and then a run of a single mile. Turns out that’s enough for my aging body to seize up.
Helllooo from kbin.social I suspect today is going to be a casual combination of mowing the lawn and playing Zelda with the teenagers on the big telly. Worse ways to spend the weekend.
... and I really must write that job application :)
Morning all! Still getting to grips with Lemmy and the various communities around the fediverse, but enjoying it all so far!
Not sure what’s on the docket for the day, most likely a snall bit of tidying up around the flat, but do know I’ve got a sausage cassarole to prep for tea so that should be a good treat to look forward to!
Hmm, interesting more comments on this thread than the other place
I’ve got a dodgy calf muscle, but hoping a walk will be good for it and loosen it up. It better not go the other way and cripple me.
Tis windy!
As someone who has had calf issues since she was 25, I can highly recommend doing some purposeful stretches first. That one where you stand on the edge of a stair and let your heels sink down is a gamechanger.
I must have clicked on RIF about twenty times yesterday as I kept forgetting it’s gone forever - everyone I have spoken to IRL seems to use the official Reddit app (which was even more of a shock), so I think this Reddit play is going to work exactly as intended
I can’t imagine using the official Reddit app shudders
I’m still not sure I’ve got my head around the whole fediverse thing. I’ve ended up with a login on both desist.uk and Lemmy.world but I guess it could be worse 😅
Morning! Still getting to grips with the shift to Lemmy from Reddit but a week in I’m feeling much more at home. It took a while to find an app that felt like a good fit, but WefWef seems to be fitting the bill very nicely.
This morning is recovery after pizza and 80s movie night with friends.
Had some friends round last night. Watched the boxing and got drunk. Went to bed about 2am. Cat woke me up about 7 demanding food! Meows louder than an air raid siren. Climbed back in to bed now and browsing Lemmy. Been a busy week so just catching up with the latest posts.
Good morning. I was demolishing a floor yesterday and my muscles are expressing their unhappiness in no uncertain terms. I should have stretched properly but the beer after hard work was just too tempting.
Similar, I was cutting hedges yesterday and this morning it feels like I’ve been bench pressing a bus. Need to go out for a run though. At least it’s sunny out!
Morning. I have one heck of a migraine today. Like a hangover, only I didn’t drink anything last night.
This feels like a good time to remind people that Lemmy does have a dark mode. You can enable it by clicking on your name in the top-right, then Settings, then scrolling down to theme and choosing “darkly” or something like it.
Cheers. Normally I prefer light mode because I find it easier to read, and keeps me awake more during the afternoon slump. But it’s very nice to have the option.
Morning! Early start today, off to south London to see a potential new buddy for our 3yr old Siamese boy. His Savannah brother from another mother has been missing for a few weeks and it’s not looking hopeful that he’ll be coming back.
I’m completely heartbroken 💔 but Frank’s so unhappy, missing his friend in fuckery.
We’re going to see a nearly 2yr old Abyssinian, looking for a new home as his staff are having to relocate to Singapore and can’t take him with them - even if they could, he’d be going from central London (albeit with a park over the road) to a high rise flat in Singapore.
They’re looking for a rural space for him, which we can definitely provide.
We don’t usually even thinking about getting a new cat for several months after one dies. We recently had our youngest (3 years) get knocked over on the road and this is the first time that we’ve ever considered “replacing” a cat because our 5 year old missed her so much that she became Ill with the stress.
She’s ok now but she’s a lot more clingy than she used to be.
I hope you find your other cat. We know someone who lost theirs and found him after what must have been six months so there’s always a chance.
We’ve had quite a few busy weekends recently which I felt bad about so yesterday I done a day of things the kids wanted to do, then swimming with them later this morning. They’re having a great time, while I’m completely shattered!
