Why are tradies so bad at keeping appointments? We are not talking about being a little late here. We are talking about not coming at all even when confirmed in writing. And no comms if they aren't coming either.

One of my (late) birthday presents from my partner is a shirt from the brand Foxblood, and it's a long shirt (which is great because i won't accidentally show my stomach while walking) but the sleeves have these sort of thumb holes, so I can feel like the true emo 13 y/o wanted to be.

Here's the shirt for those curious (if you want to get it locally, I order from Bezerk, I say locally, they're based on QLD, so not so locally but within Australia).

Reading the "specials" on supermarket junk mail is fucked. Products are not a good deal at all anymore, even when on special.

The half price app has the same shit every week.

Watched the movie Don’t Worry Darling. Was expecting a total B grade flop based on the reviews, but it was not that bad. Story was slow to get started, but the costumes and sets were very good, and the twist was a good one. It’s no Oscar winner but I’ve seen plenty worse movies.

I just walked out of my work building and smashed my Apple watch really hard against the (metal) doorframe, and it took me until I got to my car to muster up the courage to inspect the damage 🥴 Incredibly, not a scratch on it. I'm genuinely surprised it didn't crack.

Time to stop being lazy and buy a cover, I just hate the way they look but if I actually end up smashing this thing I'll be gutted.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. They need to drop Warner. Good game England but it's not over yet.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I think time to drop Warner. I agree.

Good game still. Hope we can do it on Day 4.

Even if they made the last catch it still wouldn’t have been enough.

Some of you may remember I do lunch notes for my kids. May have chosen a slightly involved theme this week...

Got the lettering and the bottom part of the border done with the cross-stitch project.
Still feeling a little flat after the extraction so I think I'll stay in and have a good solid go to finish it.

An easy one, but the messed-up scale of the neighbouring countries is offputting.

My goldfish are like aquatic chickens and when I plant weed for them they dig it up in a couple of days. I’ve just spent a stupid amount of time tying bunches of weed to rocks. Let’s see ya dig that up, ratbags

I spontaneously decided to vacuum while my spanakopita was cooking. I was punished for my productivity: vacuum has now carked it. Bugger. Time to fish out the warranty.
