Rice and corn with furikake, soy sauce, chilli crisp, and sardines on top

🍚🌽🎊🍶🌶️Delightful. It’s no wonder that it’s such a classic Australian breakfast meal (or are the kiwis going to try to claim this one too?) 👌
Toast with cheese and jam, and a cup of tea

Good night everyone 🐱
goodnight fluffybutt 😘
I really really love electric blankets. In the top ten of humanity’s greatest inventions for sure.
Holy crap. I was meant to gif or a nano and fell asleep for 4 hours :(
There goes my day :(
This kids gonna drive me insane and if he doesn’t the wife will. I said a 4pm nap was a bad idea, lo and behold who was right? 8pm and he won’t go to sleep. He’s gonna be up till 10pm again I can tell. And im a bad dad if I don’t do my part in helping fix a totally avoidable situation of my wife’s own creation.
Bad dad, no.
Bad partner…maybe.
Parenting is full of mistakes and misjudgments.
You and your wife are in the same team and need a united front.
One fucks up, the other fixes it.
It gets worse when kids become toddlers and older.
Take it on the chin, help out and keep it in your pocket as a favour in the future 😁
I used to stay up late and play video games with my son next to me on the couch when he was little.
You got this mate.
Lie on your bed with baby in your arms. Breath slowly and rhythmically to imitate sleep . Baby will copy and fall asleep.
Plans for the day abruptly derailed by realisation of failing silicon job at base of shower wall right in the splash zone.
Try getting through marine epoxy grout you fucker
Still, shower pan under tiles should keep things waterproof unless the membrane has failed?
-
60 year old house, 40 year old bathroom
-
failure was at the transition between wall tiles and pan
-
grout attachment on an oscillating tool?
Old stuff was straight silicone, so lots of swearing, picks, blades…but l’epoxie be situated in lovely clean voids and curing merrily away since 8:30 pm.
I can’t speak to epoxy grout, but I’ve been grouting recently and read on /ausreno that it takes a week or so to cure fully.
Yupples.
Was that for me? Generally f yuppies, but I don’t see the grout connection.
Up early today. Cleaned house (family effort), mowed the lawn, went to the gym, had GyG for dinner…now chillaxing with beers with my feet up.
Gotta appreciate the little things.
This is the closest I’ve ever been able to get
Beers, music, and the new update to Slice n Dice. Perf Saturday evening
What beer? I’m downing Pirate Life XPA and it’s goooood
I have so many pain meds can’t drink at all. 😔
We’ll drink on your behalf, worry not friend.
I’m taking the pressure off. No art, just sharpening pencils. That’s my hobby now. /s
It also leads nicely into whittling and woodwork. If I had a slab of wood, glue and sandpaper I could even carve a handle into one end and make my own sharpening sandpaper block. I have some fence staples to hold the paper layers on. And then that could lead into making one for knives or making strops…
But no more physical hobbies or tools. I just run out of energy and drop them.
Have you found this guy on YouTube? Alphonso Dunn He also likes a whittled pencil. Also, he’s got some got tutorial type videos.
Some duct tape on the back of a strip of sandpaper can help it last.
I know you are half joking but, if you are enjoying the sharpening and looking after the tools, go for it. You might find you are motivated to draw/create just so you get to calmly shape the pencils again! They look amazing btw.
Thanks, I’m just trying not to spend more money or accumulate more stuff
Also could I be trusted with a knife collection…
I’m going to the chemist for more robitussin, any other chest infection things I should get?
Irish moss. Tastes like arse, will kill a cough stone dead so you can sleep
Maybe a humidifier/vaporiser if there’s an easy way to get one and mould isn’t a problem.
Other than that maybe some eucalyptus oil (bottle or spray) so you can put a little on the shower floor and breathe the vapour in when and if you’re up to a hot shower. (Be careful not to slip or let pets lick the oil.) The moisture thins and loosens the mucous so you can cough it out more easily. Get some Vicks if you’re not up to the shower.
Also easy foods so you can constantly keep eating while resting. Protein bars, Up N Go or premade protein shakes and salami/jerky if you can’t leave bed, tuna tins and soup if you’re more able to get up. Lots of protein. Lots of fluid and tea.
Also if you don’t have anyone to gently thump your back lean over the edge of your bed so gravity can help you cough your airways clear. Plenty of tissues to cough and spit into. Baby wipes and sanny. Bin nearby.
Hot water bottle for the chills and paracetamol for any fevers.
Edit: Also garlic and onion if you can eat them, especially in chicken soup
Source: Used to have frequent horrific bronchitis/chest infections
Humidifier and eucalyptus/tea tree oil. Just a bowl of boiling water and a towel over your head will do if you can’t get one. Liquorice is an expectorant too.
Like in Crocodile Dundee.
My dad’s cure was hot milk with butter, honey and garlic.
It won’t not work.
I feel both our dads are kind of in the ‘fuck that guy’ category. At least you live on the other side of the planet.
Replace the butter and garlic with fresh lemon juice and ~40% alcohol and we’re talking.
Funnily enough this recipe dates back to when I was a kid AND my old man is a full on alcoholic. This may be the only time that alcohol is not involved in a home remedy of his.
You’re not wrong about living far from him.
Haven’t spoken with him in a few years and feel like I’m missing nothing.
I just stopped talking to mine a few weeks ago. I realised every interaction was basically him shitting on me and being amused by it, and that I’m in my 40s now, am I going to listen to this shit for another 30 years?
I feel you.
My mum left him 5 years ago and I don’t miss him.
He hit me up for money a few years back and Iaighed him off. Ain’t heard from him since.
Feel bad for my kids cause wife’s dad is more of a fuck up than mine.
Garlic, horse radish and vit c if mucous is an issue. Will dry it out and stop the post nasal drip that makes you cough.
Went and grabbed a weeks’ worth of dinners for what ends up being like $7 a meal at the South Melbourne Market and that’s awesome BUT it was getting a little late to cook something so I grabbed a crispy chicken Caesar wrap from maccas on the way home. I mention this because I asked them to add a bit of that new spicy fiesta sauce to it too - which they wouldn’t do for some reason - but sold me a little tub of it so I can add it myself. Which I did. And it was incredible.
I might email them now and suggest strongly that they add it to their lineup and I am not the kind of person who does that.
Even though I’ve been back in Perth a few years now, Aldi’s snow week here still amuses me:
None of the snow gear moves at all. This stuff would have been gone in the first few hours in Melbourne. I think this is actually the second week, too!
The ski gloves are excellent as bicycling gloves in cold weather - if Perf ever has any.
I saw my local Aldi team having a post-snow-sales celebration bbq out the back of the shop the other day.
Every light sniffle or cough I have picked up over the last couple of years has developed into a brutal sinus infection. I do not like this new chapter in my life.
I had one that lasted for literal years and still have issues. Antihistamines for a short period while using the Flo bottle or something similar can help
Oh I think I have some antihistamines somewhere… hammering the flo bottle already. Thanks!
Same. It’s dreadful. That Flo bottle, eucalyptus oil antihistamines and a beanie to keep my sinuses warm is just basic winter kit at this stage.
Oh I should try the beanie too. Thanks.
If you find anything else that works let me know. It’s so tiring - driving me bonkers
I used to lie on my back with my chin tilted up until I felt a tiny bit of drainage/a crackle. Lie on my side with my head at a slightly weird angle to try and get the same. Press between my eyebrows while pushing my tongue against the roof of my mouth for 20-30 seconds, then let go. Tap gently between my eyebrows and the spaces beside my nose where the sinus cavities are (or the sides of the bridge of my nose).
Eustachian tube massage can help a little too. This one is designed for ear infections but the ear nose and throat are connected, and getting one moving can help the others drain.
I can’t handle spice but that might help if you can. Perhaps a little cayenne pepper in some hot soup.
And I had a lot of hot tea and paracetamol for the aches. If you can eat honey some of that in the tea might soothe your throat from the post-nasal drip and maybe be a bit antibacterial
I picked up some honey and eucalyptus drops at the market today and they are pretty good. Thanks for the ideas
Np. Also if nothing else is working you can try Nasonex spray or the GP can prescribe Dymista. Just be warned using antihistamines or sprays too long can cause rebound congestion
Dymista is now available without a prescription I believe
Jeez. Massive house fire a few doors down in kew.
Thing just collapsed in front of us all…
Everyone safe.
Poor cop telling everyone to stay away. Not an easy task when there are 200 people watching on she gave up.
Jeez that’s what the structure fire warning I saw earlier today was… middle of a hike and got to a rare spot with phone reception and an unexpected ping.
