It is day 459. Seagoon remains lost at sea. Rescue crews have seen glimpses of her, but the plan to get her back to dry land safely hasn't been fully confirmed. Worshippers have been gathering along coastlines, along piers and bridges. They've taken up the chanting which appears to have started spontaneously among animals two nights ago...

She is doing everything she can to get back here.

Maybe the Gooner is on hiatus and just wants to chill

I think she’s been taken by a siren out at sea.

Lured away by an irresistible song out into the briny depths.

EDIT: has anyone spotted any sea monsters in that vicinity? I have a nasty feeling about this situation. It isn't just Euron that does the whole kraken bit.

Too early to put up Christmas lights?

[-] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 4 points 8 hours ago

Yes. December 1st is go time.

[-] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 7 hours ago

Nah put them up. The wee one will love it.

[-] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 points 7 hours ago

One of neighbours has had the Christmas tree up for weeks already.

[-] Duenan@aussie.zone 3 points 8 hours ago

Maybe wait at least till Halloween is over.

100 words cut from my assignment. 200 more to go.

I really hate this bit.

Edit: WOOOO HOOOO !!!!!!!!

877 words! I am so awesome, that's three whole words under!

Got through to Tenants Vic and got a better idea of what my rights were

The onus is on the LL to demonstrate that I'm in breach of S61 of the RTA (causing damage) and they cannot unreasonably restrict my quiet enjoyment of the property that I have exclusive use of. If it ends up at VCAT the timing of the claims and notice will be very much taken into consideration - namely that it followed a request to have the rent increase reviewed, and wasn't an issue beforehand.

Feeling a bit more relieved. Still gonna be ugly if they try to breach me anyway and we gotta do the whole thing, but at least I know I'm not doing the wrong thing here.

Sox was quite unwilling to leave, but once we coaxed her out from under a couch she was surprisingly compliant with getting into her carrier, thank god - it's taken two people upwards of 30 mins before (and many scratches). I think I've cleared out anything and everything cat related in the apt. Anything else I find can be hidden in the car.

Now, time to ~~dust~~, ~~check for dust/stains on balcony~~, ~~vacuum like mad~~ and ~~mop the floors~~ while it's still light out, then laundromat time. Gotta ~~cook dinner~~ too. It's hoppin' John tonight, the beans are soaking away and there's a new brand of vegan snags at the shops that aren't too bad. Once dinner's done I'll ~~clean the stove~~, ~~have a shower~~, ~~clean the shower glass~~ and then I think I'm done. Ugh.

Took a very rare long weekend to hang out with visiting family today and even though they do my head in sometimes it was just lovely to have a day in the sun not having to solve anyone's problems 😎

[-] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 5 points 10 hours ago

I don’t know what the fuck I did to my back, but it’s dreadful

[-] anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 points 10 hours ago

Ouch. Got some anti-inflams and a heat pack?

[-] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 points 11 hours ago

I'm trying to pick a Jeff Buckley song to learn. They are really hard because his voice is absolutely amazing.

So far narrowed it down to: Mojo pin Forget her Lilac wine

I really hope I can get at least one down before next open mic.

[-] Eagle@aussie.zone 3 points 7 hours ago

As much as I love Lilac Wine, how can you go past The Last Goodbye?

[-] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

He has got an amazing voice. How about something like

David Gray - Sail Away

Lilac Wine please, pretty please.

[-] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 3 points 8 hours ago
[-] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 points 10 hours ago

I feel like Lover, You Should've Come Over would go down really well but it is a tricky song.

My vote is Lilac Wine

[-] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 points 9 hours ago

I tried this yesterday and yeah, holy shit it'll take some serious work to do it justice.

Agree that Lover you should've come over slaps

Gym ✅

Pulled muscle in my back five minutes before gym 🚫

Survived workout anyway. Medicinal honeycomb Nippy’s acquired 🙃

Dog got the runs on our walk. Poor thing.

He was very happy to be cleaned in the shower. Luckily my sister was home today.

[-] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 6 points 13 hours ago

Spent the nice weather this morning around Canterbury, imagining what it would take to live there these days. I like the leafy streets and packed in shopping precincts of those areas

[-] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 points 10 hours ago

I was in Canterbury before to give something to my dad who is working there. The houses are massive. It's crazy.

“Don’t send that document until I’ve reviewed it” followed a day later by “Why haven’t you sent that document?” “… because you told me not to.” “No, I was talking about something else!” “You might have mentioned that when I emailed you asking for the review.”

This place fucking sets me up to fail.
