Anyone seen the Me We campaign going around? I'm very glad to see campaigns like this, and the consent one going around. Yeah we can't control other people's behaviour, but if some of society get exposed to campaigns like this, hopefully one day it will diffuse to people who are harder to reach.

I think there should be a more aggressive campaign to do with sun safety. Plenty of people around me are still glamorising tanning, and I still have gotten a couple of sunburns from being outside and forgetting to apply sunscreen.

hey, fellow kids. Been a while. How are we all? I see we are all making serious food decisions...

My cherry tart is complete, now I just have to work out how to get it safely to my sister's place. I'm also not sure if it is going to be safe to take it out of the tin - the filling rose a bit high and has stuck to the sides a bit, trying to remove it could lead to a total collapse. At least the jar of vanilla custard should be stress free.

Leave in tin for transport - then get someone else to remove it from the tin so it's their fault if it collapses.

Cut in half, put half in a container and the other half in your belly.

Problem solved….

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 points 14 hours ago

Or I could just make another one tomorrow for my belly - I have plenty of cherries!

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Leave it in the tin during transport. Put on plate when ready to serve.

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 points 14 hours ago

I think this will be the safest method.

Wow. Passed out so well on that nap I legit thought I had slept through till morning. Super strange dreams. Trying the get harrison ford to his plane but he was having a heart attack and simultaneously missing my own plane and being yelled at and also trying to figure out work stuff. Ugh. I am glad my brain got whatever that was out of its system but I am not a fan of being kidnapped into a 3 hour sleep while it worked.

I'm having the weirdest dreams off the weed for a while now.

I have Done Moomba.

A couple of rides, watched the Birdman Rally, watched some wakeboarding, ate some ice cream…I’ve had a lovely time, but am ready to not move for the rest of the day

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

What about the most important part? The Labour Day march by our unions with their historic banners?

This is the true meaning of Moomba. A distraction from Labour Day and union ideals and participation . Moomba was set up by Melbourne business associations

[–] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I caught a union march a few days ago. I have covered all bases

Had a beach day yesterday after barely going all summer. Sand, sun and ocean waves fix all problems. Also perfect temp yesterday and barely any breeze. And caught this amazing sunset. Followed by best sleep I’ve had in weeks.

I want to go again today. Wish ocean was closer.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 points 16 hours ago

That's so beautiful. 🙂

About to have some vegemite toast and now I'm trying to count how many decisions I'm about to make.

[–] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 8 points 16 hours ago

300 decisions about food a day is wild

[–] Pilk@aussie.zone 8 points 17 hours ago

You decided to post about it which counts I'm pretty sure

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 8 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

The stupidly heavy antique drill press has been sold and is on it's way to a new home. 😁

Decluttering is getting more and more complete every day - the prospect of moving house definitly help, it's amazing how many "maybe" items turn into a hard no when faced with the prospect of packing and moving them.

The gym is kicking my ass big time.

Just had another 12 hour sleep. It's great in a way because I know it's working.

It's just a bit intense.

Edit: just went for an hour walk and yeah. Don't go outside if you can avoid it lol
