Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Good news is nearly all my taste is back. Bad news is I have this lingering taste and smell that I can't seem to shake off.
Totally. For me the big one was I could not taste the heat in any hot sauce/chilli sauce, no matter how much I had. I got the associated watery eyes, sniffly nose etc, but not the heat. Was bizarre.
Yes. I got the nice warm little buzz and tingly tongue but no chilli taste.
Little dog comes trotting out of the kid's bedroom "look what I found mummy" and he has a wafer biscuit hanging out of his mouth. He is such a dibber dobber.
Decided to take the rest of the week off and head down the bellarine.
Shout out to the train inspector / announcer..
"We are now arriving at the magical station called geelong... station". He has seen things.
The weirdest thing I've seen in Geelong is a toddler having a poo under a tree and her dad bag it up and pop it in the bin. It may have been my own family. I pretended it wasn't.
People need to see my linguine in the dinner post. It's more art than food.
Already friggin November.. I'm barely used to writing "2023" and it's almost done. I feel like I 'just' turned 40 but that was back at the end of April. Time doesn't march on.. it can jog on.
A "friend" once told me (when I turned 50) that as we get older time seems to go faster because each passing year represents a smaller percentage of our lives. So for example, for a 10 year old a year seems like a huge amount of time because they've only experienced ten of them, but for a 50 year old a year seems much smaller because they've experienced a lot more of them. I can see their point and it feels like they could be right, but gee fucking thanks, fuck.
Seems like nothing significant happens and it’s all Groundhog Day…..
This has certainly been my experience. And doubly so talking about events with kids. I'll talk about photos of them and the days they were taken. They often don't remember events that feel really recent for me. I don't mean baby photos, but photos where they were 5+.
Sometimes I long for the days when you had to be on your computer to get online and it felt like a treat. we have been utterly spoiled by smartphones. I don't know if I can ever quite untether myself.
I rarely us my smartphone , it helps I'm half blind and can't read it and that it's small
1st November means it is time for the next phase of The Diet. Aiming for another 5kg by Christmas/New year.
I can't say I did well on the exercise phase, and completely failed to get in to a routine of doing strength training. I did do a decent amount of exercise in the form of gardening, but I need to reassess my ongoing exercise plans.
Feeling extra tired today. Can't place if it's mental or physical fatigue. I have played 8 hours of tennis over the last 3 days. But I could play all day long if my body allowed me to 😅
Super excited that my new apt has a tennis court!! Moving there in a couple of weeks 😇😇
god I hate australian companies so fucking much HOW ARE YOU SO BAD AT ECOMMERCE. HOW.
And we'll charge you eleventy times more for the privilege of it, too!
There was a good one: ezedvd was fantastic - good range, decent prices, fair shipping rates and speedy delivery.
It's a pity almost everyone stopped buying DVDs and Blu Rays.
oh fuck yes I still have my Babylon5 boxed set with bonus backpack from that mob XD
Melbourne is 8 months winter, 4 months Summer. Anything else is propaganda.
This headache can F off. We thought kiddo was doing better but he just chucked everywhere so clearly not. This week can eat a bag of dicks.
The cat just griefed me in Minecraft
Edit: She's a great player for someone without thumbs. Autojump was on so by sitting on the keyboard she was able to run the character around and flatten some grass with the shovel. But then she threw the enchanted shovel away somewhere and kept running. I never did find it to get it back
Miss Meow likes to lie on top of the nice warm computer when I play. Unfortunately the power button is also on top of the computer, and a well placed paw can lead to my computer suddenly turning off mid game.
Mine like to climb on top of me. I basically perceive the internet with a cat anus permanently in my peripheral vision
I appreciate them trying to help, but I can't help the feeling I should not know my cat has a piebald vagina.
Oh she's done that too. Sometimes she'll even decide we're done with a Zoom call.
I'm actually out of work I can do at the moment, and will likely not be able to do anything for the rest of the week. No more meetings for today either. I'm going to have to find some training to do or something! Or.. *looks at golf clubs*
Working hard or hardly working amirite?

Kind of in the same boat, but need to be online and in office tomorrow 'just because'
