Got the phone back! I tried it this morning and it was on the move through Heidelberg. I thought it’s obviously still on the bus! I tracked it through the suburbs until it was near my place and went out to the bus stop, caught that bus and found it wedged down between the seat and the wall! It was so exciting! Hey, I’m a middle aged mum, it’s the most exciting thing I’ve done all year! The bus driver was kind enough to wait at the stop for me to search for it as well. Wonder how often they clean the buses tho…
There is no better detective than Mum on a mission! Well done!!!
Oh man, that’s a feel of excitedrelief that you can ride all week
That’s just impressive. It’s great when things like this happen and everything works out

Fuck yeah!! That’s awesome of you and for you! Huzzah!
You could ride the feeling of that win for weeks!!! Well done!
A random cat is in my back yard and the local birds are all panicking. Rather unusual coat pattern.
The first time a friend said she had a “two faced” cat freaked me out.
Give the kitty a pat!
(bring savlon)
What a stunner!
Looks like a chicken!
My daughter helped a relo out with his banking because he freaked out a bit. She says to me “Mum, he doesn’t know how banking works but he knows how to get on Tinder”. I couldn’t stop laughing. 😂
doesn’t know how banking works but he knows how to get on Tinder

Very nsfw language, likely triggering for anyone uncomfortable with meth’d up sexual frustration.Omg hahahahahaha 😂 I’m crying
It would be triggering, but I find the shit meth heads spew to be hilarious! It’s just so wild and unhinged 😂

I was chatting to someone the other day and they go “i’m no good with computers!” and I was like “huh. looks like you got an iphone there champ” and they go “oh yeah I can use an iphone just fine”. Ok so its not that your no good with computers its that you dont want to be.
The thing with computers is if you don’t use them all the time then you forgot how to do shit.
I can show you how to do a crochet stitch and a week later ask you to do it again and you’d probably fail. Repetition is what’s needed to remember stuff.
Also, you get used to things then they change it all in the upgrades. Boo!
Yes and then there’s a little second of panic.
Eh, there are levels. Once upon an Mac+ i’d play with ResEdit. Not touching whatever the equivalent is now, too big a jump.
well, banking is made to be difficult so you don’t lose your money
merchant banking is made to be as easy possible so you will spend your money
MOAR! 🌶️🌶️🌶️
And what a beautiful picture as well 🤩
Yeeesssss 🌶 🌶 🌶
The batch of hot sauce I reluctantly made abt this time last year didn’t survive the move - developed an undeniable layer of grey vicious mould. I will learn next time…
Wore heels for the first time in many forevers yesterday. Now have a confused mix of toes that ache and ones I can’t feel properly. Hope this isn’t cause for actual concern.
Wake was a very fine send off indeed. Don’t think the cafe staff knew what hit them.
I wore stupidly high heels to my wedding many years ago and could not feel a couple of my toes for weeks. Feeling eventually returned and I still have all my toes, so I guess that means it’s ok?
These probably don’t even count as heels to many. I’ve never been a spike person, but being out of practice on even such low things seems to matter now.
Don’t you love when you have a banh mi place that every time you get one you’re just, like, “this is the best banh mi I’ve ever had”? Also love when you’re eating a banh mi and you get that moment when you’re staring down a chilli thinking it won’t be so bad but also know it’s going to punch your mouth up in the most delicious of ways?
I’m a happy girl.
Yes but lately I’ve been making my own. That way I can put as much coriander and crackle as I like without asking.
My latest (made with roast pork. Not belly)
put as much coriander
Yuss!
Don’t listen to the people with the genetic coriander soap thing it’s their loss.
ewwww. It tastes like soap
yeah. I bet your mummy cuts the crusts off your sandwiches
(I haven’t had a smoke all day. I have hard to hear opinions)
Oh my…🥰
Regular Fridays with beer ❤️
That looks absolutely delicious!! And yes, excellent points about being able to do your own unhinged ratios with no judgement.
I’ve never had one of these before.
Apparently there’s a place in Bentleigh that seems to review well that makes these.
Do yourself a favour and grab one.
I’ll have to see. I’m really trying to save money at the moment.
Shop around. You can buy one for around $10.
I think that’s how much the Bentleigh one costs.
Looks good to me.
There’s a banh mi place near work that’s good. I’ve only ever had the tofu version, but I should swing by in the morning and have the breakfast banh mi because even the tofu tastes great
This sounds like an excellent idea, enjoy your breakky banh mi!!
I wasn’t going to buy my lunch tomorrow, but banh mi 🥲🥲
Cheers for the advice on the second hand backpack. Got a bellroy classic in near new nick for 85 bucks, normally 220. No shame in jumping in at that price point.
Second hand, the carbon cost has already been paid by the original purchaser.
With the RRP of those Bellorys they should be good. Look after it and it should last a long time
yeah your deffo paying for a brand. I’ve got mates with them and they love them. but these are also mates who love B&O products when I’m just running around with a pair of cheapo bose and an old base iphone.
I like nice stuff, but I’m not paying for NICE stuff if you know what I mean.
boss yeah I’m gonna send ya a couple servers to configure.
me: aight.
boss: I need them done by tomorrow
me: doable, but you’re building an 8tb stripe, that alone is gonna take about five hours jsyk.
boss: also I have just realised you go on leave next week so I want everything possible done right now. Even things that can wait. Even things that aren’t anywhere near being implemented.
boss: I am going to send you every email under the conceivable fucking sun and demand you answer them instead of building my servers.
boss: I’m also gonna let a client scream at you about something I did
boss: and I’m gonna ask you if you’ve done something that I explicitly said I’d do three weeks ago
boss: and then I’m gonna send you another couple servers.
boss: I want these ready to ship to client tomorrow.also I have just realised you go on leave next week
So he’s going on leave next week too.
Time for a new boss
the joy of working for a small business, I rang him up and as soon as he answered the first words out of my mouth were “Are you fucking high”
😂
Noooooo. Was meant to dump my bags by the door and head back out to buy groceries but somehow managed to lock myself out even though this unit door doesn’t actually self-lock… actually idk how it worked because normally you can only lock it from the inside after the door is shut, and you can only lock it from the outside with a key…
Anyway, thank fuck my friend who lives down the road and has my spare keys is on his way back from a site out east, and crucially, has NOT yet left for a 4 day work trip to Halls Gap.
Sitting in the shopping centre across the road staying warm and enjoying supermarket dolmades. It’s tempting to buy a bag of chips but I really have a protein craving more than anything else.
E: back in. No fish curry for me tonight. But I’ll be sure as hell making it tomorrow. Old lil eggplants, fresh green beans, 4-year-old Baba’s fish curry powder, oñons, bitta tomato paste and coconut milk.
Hey Kitten.
Hope you’re ok.
Did you manage to get back into your unit?
Yeah my friend rocked up half an hour ago thank goodness. It turns out it is possible to lock the door from the inside and then close it :|
Will be making extra copies of keys to put under doormat and in office…
Thank goodnes for your friend still being around!
Careful of leaving it under the doormat. Maybe get a lanyard or wear on a hidden necklace
There’s a security door for the block of 3 units and I’m on the top floor. Nobody comes up here unless I’ve asked them to. I’m taking the risk. Not wearing it on me and I’ll be outta here in a few months anyway.
Nice! What was your address btw?
Decided to clean out the bottom shelf of the pantry - we rarely use it.
Guess where the little flies were coming from 😭💀 never leaving tea in there ever, EVER AGAIN.
Cleaned out now and sprayed in there, and wiped down the front so the cat doesn’t get sick.
I’m HORRIFIED, everything has been chucked.
Edit: to be VERY CLEAR: I am not a filthy person! I’m messy, but not filthy. That has NEVER happened to me before 😭😭😭
The last paragraph 😂
I just had to add that disclaimer, I do NOT live in filth! 😂
Hahaha all good. Believe me, my place has its moments…
You’re not alone!
One time there was this awful smell in the kitchen that I just couldn’t find the source of. Searched everywhere, cleaned everything, still stinky. Thought maybe a rat had died under floor it was so bad.
It turned out to be a rotten potato at the back of the potato rack. Looked fine on top but was mush underneath. The smell was unholy, and it took months to get the residual smell out of the cupboard.
(I’m also not a filthy person, but did feel pretty stupid for missing something so obvious, lol)
Have discovered it is possible to spend silly amounts of money on screen doors.
Then went to the plant nursery. Ouch, and did not buy the life size cheetah statue.
Another little burst of warm weather coming up for this weekend. 🌞
that will be nice
You’ve got beach now. Pop on a bikini and mosey on down for a swim. 😊
finally got my black puffer
The cats are booked in the resort for Easter Holiday. The rates are unholy over this time period.
One of my new favorite cooking techniques is to brown the chicken thigh first before slow cooking (as discovered doing the apricot chicken a few weeks back). Trying it with Japanese curry tonight. Recipe I read said 6 hours on low, but you wouldn’t do the apple/potato/carrot that long would you? I was thinking 3-4 hours max.
I’ve thrown a veg/lentil curry in the slow cooker in the morning on low, gone to work, and come home 8 or 9 hours later and it’s fine. Veg doesn’t need that long but it doesn’t seem to do much harm.
just trying to avoid soggy veg.
Monday night Japanese curry gang checking in!!!
Never really done it in the slow cooker BUT, potato and carrot should be fine in the SW. Apples will probably lose their texture though.
Granny Smith yes. Pink Lady, Gala, Yellow Delicious - no. Best to leave peel on though.
Yeah I’m doing granny smith. Might just give it 4 hours instead of the 6.
neither, first time. but given how good the apricot chicken came out I was tempted to give it a go.
I’ve been making japanese curry in a regular stove top pot. I just fry the meat separately to get a nice brown sear and throw it in with the veggies and some seasoning. Once the potatoes cook through, i chuck in the curry blocks.
Hasn’t disappointed yet :)
I only ever use high on my slow cooker then I’ll turn it down to low if I need to. I’d put them all in together. If you’re worried about the chicken drying out, dont worry it won’t. Potato can take forever to cook particularly if you choose to cook it on low.
Low - approx 94°c
High - approx 149°c
Actually I’d leave the potato out and boil it separately and add it in later then you’ll know it’s cooked for sure.
I didnt factor in how cold the carrot and potato would be in reducing the temp so I’ve cranked it to high just before i put the veg in. I might just leave it on high and see how we go.
That’s the way!
Brushed potato takes longer to cook than some other potatoes and of course it also depends on the size they’re cut too and the age of the potato.
