Merry xmas all.

Off to Anglesea today to my cuzzes farm which I've never been to. They've recently done it up and apparently they have four (4!) horses.

I plan on patting a horse.

I got my nephew a remote controlled fart machine. He keeps sneaking it under adult seats and setting it off, the grown ups are being good sports and playing along. The kids are in fits of giggles. It's a happy game that I think the kids will remember throughout their childhoods. It's very wholesome. ❤️

Came down with food poisoning or gastro or something, so didn't see the fam today. Will do that on the 27th. Spent the morning drinking water, and then when my bowels were thoroughly cleaned out, I went for a walk with my partner.

We did end up getting Macca's because I wanted a coffee frappe, which was worth it lol.

The cat is very very happy were home, he's been very playful and snuggly.

All in all, rather chill. And nothing wrong with that ^other than the overwhelming hatred I have for myself for being a disappointment to my family and my dad^ but that's Christmas time for me anyway 🤦🏼‍♀️

Glad you’re feeling better, but please don’t feel bad about not seeing family. If you’re sick, you’re sick, and it’s much better staying home than sharing the germs around

Merry Christmas! Have a great day ❤️

Merry Christmas 🎄! On the train to the 'Rat and it's lovely seeing quite a few on board with gifts and food. I even saw someone on the way to southern cross pushing around a pram with an Esky in it 😂

I'm also chuffed that my sneaky plan to drive to the CBD and park near the station (all day free street parking on a PH!) worked - although plenty others had the same idea as me on Little Collins St, that was full up, lucky I got a park on Collins just 3 minutes walk.

Downside of today is I packed my headphones and forgot to bring the adapter and I'm kicking myself. Luckily it's quiet in this carriage... I have to get used to the modern world and their stupid headphone-jackless phones.

E: families piled on around Rockbank. Oh well, I can live with it for now...

[-] just_kitten@aussie.zone 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Back home after train delays. Kind of glad I went for the lazy option driving to and fro the CBD, much less lugging around heavy dishes in the heat and thanks to the wonderful city trees my car stayed nice and cool all day. Barely any traffic, zero stress. The first song that came on when I was about to enter the city was Bill Withers' Lovely Day. I can never get the full "daaaaaaaaaaaaay"... But it was great vibes.

Lunch was alright and I'm glad I left when I did. So many loud obnoxious kids on the ride home. Right. Just need to push myself to get the pots and crap out of the car, vacuum the house, pack... and disengage. C'mon me, one last push. We are almost done with being in GO mode

I hope the lack of a Christmas tree in the title doesn't upset anyone. I thought hugs were more appropriate - enjoyed by everybody, family/friends to spend time with or not.

[-] indisin@aussie.zone 11 points 2 weeks ago

Merry Christmas! 🎄 ❤️ 🎄

Did not account for quite that many snack breaks and so I'm a few mins off with my Die Hard timing. But happy trails, Hans!

Ps. Forgot to ask her about them. Probably older than me.

Yeah now i need a nap but I'm being good and going to the gym first because I'm a fucking masochist (I promised myself i would go this morning and I didn't)

Edit: Fed the extended cat family, ordered a kebab and time for a nap.

I did end up skipping roast and all the classic Chrissy things. But somebody dropped by, and I was gifted a small blow up pool and some solar powered fairy lights which is very dope. Blew and filled it up today, probably not gonna go for a dip til the morrow though

Apparently one of the Indian restaurants near my house is open, so I'm thinking I might take a quick shower then nip down for lunch. They're very nice there, and their food is affordable. Tbh I don't really like roasts (except for roast chooks, but I don't have the patience to cook those), so I'd take a curry over a roast lamb any day of the week

When hottest 100 day comes, I reckon I might pull up my speaker and have a lazy day in the pool listening along. The only thing I'm worried about is that my hallway and every entrance is carpeted, so if I need to go for a funny run or want to grab a drink, I'll have to towel off outside and wait til I stop dripping. Might need to buy some kind of tarp to put down or something

DDT Fam, Merry Christmas or Merry insert your preference here!

I hope everyone has a lovely day, no matter what you are doing.

[-] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 8 points 2 weeks ago

Good lunch.

Didn't get to pat a horse but had a good tug of war with one of the doggos 'clyde' sort of a collie cross. I was very impressed by his enthusiasm. Clyde didn't realise that I'm not one to let go of the stick. He did well but I won.

Mr Woof's not going to be happy, it's not looking like it will be cool enough for a walk this evening. And obviously it will be too hot tomorrow too.

I'm in two minds about whether I should get a new phone. The one I have right now (from the Samsung A range) has been randomly restarting, and my sister who has the same phone, has had that happen to her. I don't want to get rid of the phone until it's on its last leg, but maybe it's time for a factory reset.
