Ended up having a little drunken slide show last night. So more Nepal from '99!

Pretty sure that's everest taken from somewhere close to namche bazaar-ish.

Almost the highest we went (only 3800m from memory).

I remember all the fit kids really felt it at that altitude. I was a naughty kid smoking durries where I could w/o getting caught, I didn't feel a thing lol. And I think that weirdly enough added to the experience for me. Sneaking off far away from the group, absolutely no one around just sitting there in the dirt staring at the views.

That's so amazing man. Would love to see something like that one day!

Those are well fed chonksters. Did you name them?

I have specifically not named them because if I do I'm going to end up with half a dozen cats and I'm not ready to retire yet lol

They are so gorgeous.

Late lunch!

After 28 years of faithful service my toaster has finally decided to call it quits. RIP little fella.

Fortunately I have a toaster oven and was still able to cook my toast for breakfast

fancy Saturday breakfast

Edit: gotta ask, what brand of toaster was it?

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 points 1 week ago

It was a Ronson. And the heating elements still work, it's just the clip that keeps the toast down that has stopped working. Much better longevity than it's predecessor, which was a wedding present that lasted less than one year (which is why I remember the age of the replacement!).

I have eaten too much sticky date pudding and I may never move again.

Green with envy.

Having another bonfire tonight. With @Bottom_racer@aussie.zone last night I declare it burn shit weekend.

[โ€“] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I just got fucking worked over hey.

I've been doing stuff by myself for so long I haven't been pushing as hard as I should have been.

He's had shoulder injuries in the past as well so he knows how to strengthen that part of my body pretty well.

Love this post workout high.

And now I'm going to do a lower body workout by sitting on the couch and playing video games lol

An abundance of sausage rolls leftover! Woo.!

How did the party go? Give us the deets.

[โ€“] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mostly stayed away from the festivities so not to be a creepy parent , but lots of singing and dancing all night , the kids were pretty respectful. There was even a French exchange student that offered to help in the kitchen lol. All good.

Today's bad news: It started to rain as soon as I hung out my washing

Today's good news: I got my toaster working again. Lots of crumb removal and playing around with the lever and it started staying down again. Google tells me it is probably a magnet problem, and it could have been interfered with by a build up of crumbs or it could be nearing the end of its life. We will just have to wait and see.

Back from the far away beach on the ocean.

it was awe inspiring , just standing on the sand I felt the power of the tides

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago

Miss Seagoon did and she sunk inches in the sand very quickly! I walked through and on wearing boots.

I'll post pics after I have a rest, I'm beat.

Didn't do very well with the curries I made to take to a friend's place - spice levels were all over the shop and I ran very late and spilled a whole lot in the bag (thankfully not onto the car carpets or seats). Past me would've been agonising over it all day but I'm glad I could get past it, hang out with friend, head to pub and socialise with other friends, and make it back in a good mood ๐Ÿ˜€

Bonus is I now have plenty of food for the next few days albeit not the best tasting but it'll do...

Edit: my hands still smell of garlic. Whoops. Oh well

E2: glad that I managed to summon up enough energy to load the dishwasher and clean the kitchen countertops at least - don't need to wake up to a warzone. Helped that I did all my friend's dishes at her place because I know how hard she's had it lately and that put me in a positive place

Made it to the gym for this morning's class and it was... weird. It was a dance fitness class and I am very unco. But I had fun!

[โ€“] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That sounds like a shit load of fun!

Insomnia gang sup.

Trainer just sent me the new 3 day program. Looks interesting. Haven't done a few of the exercises before.

I was expecting 5 days, so I'll use the other 2 days for lower and core.

Pretty excited. When I'm in that world, I'm fully in. Great diet, consistent work outs, lots of water etc. I think it's the old adhd super focus.

Morning chef, hope things are good in your dimension.

Can I have a simple bowl of warm porridge with lashings of honey? It's cold in this universe

A bowl of hot porridge with cream and honey please.

I'd also like to pre-order a slow-cooked balrog stew, with mashed potato and glazed carrots.

Unfortunately a little broken from today's workout - knee has blown up, so have been on the couch watching trashy stuff - just finished Joy Ride which was hilariously implausible and had some very funny parts.

Hope everyone is having a banger of an evening!

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I've managed to resolve some payment issues I was having with the meal kit services and have been able to sign up for another couple of free boxes ๐Ÿ™‚ This means another few weeks of minimal meal planning.

Trying to summon the enthusiasm to tackle the my Mt Washmore. It's more Mt Put It Away that I'm shit with.

Oh true! We end up using it off the neatly folded pile = not a neatly folded pile any longer
