Took advantage of the warmer weather and had dinner down by the water. Caught sight of a little rakali having a swim and scurry over the rocks.

Feeling very blah today. Low energy and motivation. I have some semi-pressing life admin to do but nothing that can’t wait til tomorrow. Dinner might be an egg and avocado on toast. Sigh.
CEOofmyhouse56 5 points 15 days ago
Feeling the same. I think it's the weather. May you feel better tomorrow. 🌻
imoldgreeeg 5 points 15 days ago
Same. Very brain foggy and all over the place. Hoping it's just the weather

I got my fridge, washing machine, and dryer from Kids off the Kerb in Thomastown, like over 10 years ago. The washing machine only died last year or the year before, still have the fridge and it works great, and I donated the dryer back to them when I moved and didn't have room.
They don't seem to have an online store, but I think if you give them a call they could help? Idk I hate making calls so totally understand if you wouldn't want to do that, they're just local (as in Melbourne based) and a charity.

Check out Appliances Online - I've had good results from them and they take away the old machine for recycling. Next day delivery. Yes they have top loaders small and large and you can sort for that on their website. My current top loader came from there and has been good for 4 plus years.

yeah we're looking at them, but we know from the Dishwasher Debacle that they tend to not have actual stock, just showrooms and when they finally do order in the stock you've already paid for they sell it to someone who's just fucking walked in....
CEOofmyhouse56 4 points 16 days ago
Why a top loader? Just curious.
Taleya 5 points 16 days ago
knee and back issues, and also up against a big fat wall of Autism that says NO NO NO I DO NOT LIKE HOW THEY FEEL COMING OUT OF FRONT LOADER.
We do offset the damage by directing the runoff into the garden, and also filtration and storage.
CEOofmyhouse56 4 points 15 days ago
Fair enough
PeelerSheila 3 points 14 days ago
Not sure what they're like new now, so forgive if this isn't real helpful, but I've got a 10 year old Fisher and Paykel 6kg top loader that's still chugging along fine touches wood. My washer has to go in a tight spot which doesn't allow for a front opening door. I also have knee issues which override any pleasure obtainable from watching a front loading "laundry telly" 😆

I second kleen maid / speed queen - great product. Washes stuff real good
CEOofmyhouse56 5 points 15 days ago
Does anyone here watch MKR? Those bogan girls are full on toxic.
Seagoon_ 5 points 15 days ago
first I have I ever heard of it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Kitchen_Rules
✅ they have the insta look
✅ brown eyeshadow
✅ foundation that is too dark for their skin type
✅ eyebrows that Groucho Marx would be proud of
✅lots of lip filler
✅ hair like a kardashian
✅ they are boorish
CEOofmyhouse56 5 points 15 days ago
I don't care about their looks. It's their attitude that suck. They're like "We don't give a shit what people think of us". Roll their eyes and snicker. Then when someone says something they declare "everyone's picking on us". We're 2 episodes in and they're already shitting me.
SituationCake 4 points 15 days ago
I’m not watching it but they sound a bit full of themselves.
CEOofmyhouse56 5 points 15 days ago
Yeah they are. Those kinda people who go "the party can start now because we're here and we're pretty". Urgh.
SituationCake 5 points 15 days ago
Maralago face?
PeelerSheila 2 points 14 days ago
I can't stand that posh-acting bitchy blonde woman with her bushranger-bearded sub husband. I guess, given the formula of these shows, she's the one that's been put there as "the one you love to hate," but ok you got me 🙋🏼♀️Those bogan chicks are hard to look at and even harder to listen to! People who think that "keeping it real" is an excuse to be rude and obnoxious. Love the two nurses. Don't think much of the other couple either.
CEOofmyhouse56 2 points 14 days ago
Jane the I'm more of a taster than an eater. Lol. I hope the nurses bring delicious food to the table because I'm barracking for them too.

Looks like that massive sound rig that was at the warehouse rave is still in melbs. Event on at the croxton this satdee. 3 home made rigs 2 rooms. Big room with 2 of the rigs (which are also massive) doing dub / reggae, and the one that was at the warehouse rave a few months ago doing strictly Drum and Bass (weeee) in another room. Last one there was heaving,
$40 tix is a good deal for the effort these people have put into their rigs. Including time / materials, transport etc they'd be running at a loss I'm sure of it, but they still throw 'em!
Thornburywitch 5 points 16 days ago
The Croc really has re-vitalized since covid. Lots of interesting bands/music. Ditto the Cactus Room and Shotkickers.

Partner has a neighbour's backyard outside his bedroom window where a kid wakes up at 6am everyday and plays basketball with his dad, and they're often making a lot of noise. I hope this kid goes beyond the rec league.

I made grilled sausage in a bread roll with cream cheese, grilled onion, fried jalapeño.
It’s a pretty good combo but the cream cheese sort of tamps down the flavour profile in a way I’m not fond of.
SpinMeAround 3 points 15 days ago
Reckon if you mixed the jalapeno directly with the cream cheese it would of helped? Like sort of spiced cream cheese? It sounds delicious otherwise.
useless_modern_god 3 points 15 days ago
That sounds pretty good as a spread in general.
SpinMeAround 2 points 15 days ago
Can confirm that it's excellent on bagels.
useless_modern_god 2 points 15 days ago
Hmm yes.
Force_majeure1234 4 points 16 days ago
Some sailboat wing I guess

Fish tacos, pleeeease!

Decided to haul ass into work early as I was awake (kind of) and we're pretty booked up so was expecting a line out the door... nope.
I did get to watch a cute interaction between two drivers "what's your driver number? OMG mine is only a few after yours! Do you have a radio? Let's talk!"
SpinMeAround 3 points 16 days ago
Yeah, that and White Fox seem to be pretty interchangeable.
