Melbourne

Currently rewatching Chef's Table, and I've eaten at Osteria Francescana, but all I can think about is sardines

Finally braved the cold to open the gates and it's still bloody foggy out there.
In other news, the cats now love Coles Purr cat food. In fact Zooki loves it so much she shoved Sammi out of the way and helped herself from her plate. Usually it's the other way around...

I was a bit late getting to the food cupboard this evening and it was picked clean of everything except some spring onions. Which is actually pretty good news, both because onions are the main thing I need more of right now and because it means all the jeruselum artichokes I took up this afternoon are gone.

Sometimes I love looking up where a period piece was filmed just because it's hilarious to see how unremote a location is or how surrounded by modern amenities it is. I mean obviously things aren't nessascarily going to be period accurate, but seeing a shopping centre or a main road is right round the corner feels so silly.

@RustyRaven@aussie.zone can you please ask the Lemmy people about the 300 comments spinny thing repeated comments and collapsed comments bug problem we have. @useless_modern_god@aussie.zone has the link down below.

I'm making bread from scratch. I'm scared and excited all at the same time.

Sitting here under two layers of blanket with an electric hot water bottle under keeping me nice and warm while I watch The Rookie.

Only thing missing is some snacks.

So we've switched over to a better Internet provider than Optus. But for some reason some websites work and some don't. Like YouTube is fine, but Mastodon just doesn't want to work. Twitter kind of works, but like other streaming services don't work. It's very weird. I'm getting better downloads and uploads than I have previously, but this is so weird

Online Orders 1 Week Delivery Challenge update: order 2 of 4 has arrived today.

This is the one which came from South Australia too, Auspost are killing it! My 2 remaining orders are from Catch so we'll see how that goes. I know one of them is being shipped by a 3rd party not Catch themselves.

I'm a little annoyed.. when I booked my US flights I wasn't able to select a seat, just set a preference for Window or Aisle. At some point between then and now, they enabled to ability to select seats without telling me and other people have taken all ones I would have chosen. I only had the choice of these 2 seats (screenshot of plane seat map):

So I've naturally picked the aisle because what maniac wouldn't?

I still can't select a seat for the return flight but I'll just have to keep checking until I can so I don't get shafted with a middle seat or something.

Really want late night potat. Just remembered I have potat gems and access to a Phillips xl air fryer. Problem solved.

Making glacial but gradual progress on work. Half way through 1 of 6 discussion sections with images. My ability to concentrate is totally shot atm. I kinda wish I did have that psych appt yesterday after all. Maybe meds might've helped.

I LEFT PRAWNS ON THE BENCH TO DEFROST BEFORE I LEFT HOME 🫠

I didn't hear anything 🤷‍♀️

Do dodgy plumbers make kitchen sink pipes glued together so you have to call them and pay them more money? Sus. I'm renting but just wanted to fix it myself so no one has to intrude in my space :(
