Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
founded 2 years ago
MODERATORS
My meows are realistic enough that it attracted the attention of a strolling cat who looked disappointed before moving on. Further meows were ineffective.
The Seagoon has landed.
It's like a jump in Sliders, it looks the same in nearly everyway , just has these little differences.
FUCKING DONE. 12 FUCKING HOURS IN OFFICE, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
I am not getting less than 4 hours of Simon time tonight. I refuse to go home and just crash. Fuck that.
I will always find the look a cat gives you when you accidentally touch them after they've cleaned themselves utterly hilarious.
Just absolute disdain lol
Accidentally? We do that for shits and giggles!
rub them the wrong way
7.5 hours to go.
Kill me now. Why can't I be a spoilt housecat instead of the slave of one :(
3 hours. Now that the stores are closed, they'll attempt their IT requirements.
Here comes the tsunami
Edit: I feel awful because the strays will be fed 3 hours late but there's nothing I can do :(

Just dropped a coffee mug whilst doing the dishes. It smashed on the tiles. Was one of the ones I liked. Boo-hoo.

YL walks in and says "What is this song I keep singing?" I listen, I answer "Air Supply. All out of love". She walks out and I hear a tiny "fuck".
Let the 12 hour day begin :(
Boo
Damn stabbing bra wire!
Thought I'd found somebody's missing cat today, but sadly not.

Was tired but now can't sleep. Been scrolling Imgur, looking at real estate I fantasize about buying, clearing emails and quiet stuff on my phone. At least it's lovely and quiet.
Ok, what's everyone's guess on the verdict of the mushroom trial?
Mine is: Not Guilty
Not guilty would mean she'll be in the media for years to come.
Hoping for guilty in that case.
Not guilty means she didn't intend on deliberate deaths.
Having not followed the trial, would not guilty mean she's released?
Yep
Still hoping for guilty. I've formed my opinion and it was deliberate.
π
I think sheβs guilty, but sheβll get away with it because reasonable doubt.

I'm predicting a hung jury.
Not guilty. I do think she did it but the evidence / case against her isnβt strong enough.

Hung jury. All 12 jurors have to agree and come to a unanimous verdict for not guilty or for guilty. So I think it likely that there'll be a hung jury and a re-trial at some later date. Which will be even more of a shit show.
Such a pity the Scottish law verdict of 'not proven' is not available here in Victoria. Which basically means We know you done it but there's no evidence.
I do think the r/deathcapdinner mob (and I chose that word deliberately) need to be reminded of the basic human right of being innocent until proven guilty.
Hoping for guilty, realistically think there's a good chance of not guilty. I haven't followed it in detail but it just seems like there's enough room for doubt...
Either way, Erin Patterson is never going to live a normal life ever again after this
I too think she's guilty, or a little bit guilty. She'll get off because of something something imo.
Is it too late for Vera to step in?
I'm watching you pet.
Now we're getting somewhere

Happy EOFY to all those who celebrate π
There will not be time to celebrate. Just sayin.
Have been saving a very upmarket choc bunny from Easter to eat tonight when all the shenanigans of EOFY are over (FINALLY!!!). May indulge in a few champers too.
Then all the stuff that our clients have been saving up 'for the new FY' will hit on Tuesday/Wednesday.
Pray for me.

@Force_majeure123 @YarraByte I feel like I have noticed much less EOFY sales and offers than usual...

I watched Trainwreck: Poop Cruise and it confirmed to me how precious Americans are. The ship is in a state of anarchy and they were more concerned about how long they can hold out for before they needed to shit into a biohazard bag.
The highlight for me was when a crew member described the state of the dunnies. (Not verbatim) "There was poo. A layer of toilet paper. Poo. Toilet paper. Poo. It was like a lasagne.
I couldn't stop laughing. 5/5 hobbits

I made this for breakfast yesterday. Iβm not sure what to call it. Slow cooked marinated lamb, fried onion, and scrambled egg on pita with chilli sauce. It needed something to wake up the flavour. I like chilli sauce, but it was slightly overpowering and made the dish one dimensional.
Worcestershire sauce would be my go to rather than chilli. Complex, tangy and not heavy on the tongue. But then I am going through a love affair with worcestershire sauce rn so don't mind me.

5 hours to go. Urghhhh Apparently I'm going to have a PT issue in the morning that will lead to me sleeping in an extra hour!
How fortuitous!
I've had the Postman Pat theme tune banging around in my head all afternoon. He seems quite content. A nice cat, a cruisy stable job, friendly people. I envy him

So close now.
People say that the weather is boring small talk. However, since many kids believe things like rain is teardrop shaped, or heavier things sink and lighter things float, I've been reading quite a bit of physics and earth science stuff, and it's so cool and weird how we have clouds and rain and other weather phenomenona. How does lightning happen? Thunder? Natural disasters?
It's so weird that we exist on a land with these things, and I am dying to learn more. I wish I had studied this stuff earlier. But I guess it's not too late. Excitement ensues.
I love learning when it's for fun and not for grades.

Has anyone tried out this butter chicken sauce from Aldi?
I don't know if it's spicy because it has chilli powder listed in its ingredients.
No I haven't but the chances of it actually being spicy is like 0%
If on the odd chance you do get a bit of spice and you don't like just add a bit of milk to the end result.
