Looking good. I've started weeding my raised beds which got a bit overgrown over winter and found a few volunteer tomato seedlings have already made a start for me.
It's a little shy so thought I'd introduce it slowly before the friends arrive. It's also a guinea pig in case I fucked the soil mix but I didn't tell it that.
Normally I love putting stuff together, like Ikea furniture etc etc
I'm now in a room with the door locked trying to build this cat tower and there's a monster on the other side of the door who is DEMANDING to be let in.
Edit: She realised if she jumps high enough she can pull the door handle down and open the door.
Breaking news - Rossmoyne Street in Thornbury is having a collective garage sale tomorrow at 10 am to 3 pm - lots of people are all coming together to put excess stoff out for sale. Just got told. See you there.
They did maintenance last night and when it came back live it started duplicating transactions I made on Thursday, which happened to be when I had some payments to make.
It really sucked and just shows if something like that happens the bank won’t be there to cover you.
At my second inspection. Crusty old dude rocks up and talks only to me and asks if I'm viewing the apartment, then asks if I'm single and gives me this creepy grin and says he'd prefer a single to move into the apartment. Oh and of course he's the owner. Shakes my hand and encourages me to apply. Completely ignores the other attendees (male).
I might've seriously considered this apartment despite the very dated kitchen and bathroom and no fly screens, it's pricey but in a very quiet green location and has a sunlit balcony... But after the above interaction I am definitely not applying wtf
E: I am meant to be cleaning the house but our purritude has other ideas. Purrhaps she has sensed my overall distress. I'll miss this lil sweetie when she leaves on Monday
Sucks because I really might've seriously considered it for the quietness and the cleanliness. Light filled and still convenient for work. I was sat in the park wondering if I stuck on my own fly screens and everything else worked okay, could I still stick it out since there's a REA intermediary... Esp as this is probably one of the few times I have an advantage (??) as a single renter. But it's for entirely the wrong reasons
I find it odd the LL is at the inspection if he has a REA managing the property? And the whole interaction, yikes. The LL will probably have keys. Stay the hell away!
Yeah he seems like the kind of guy who lives nearby and might get... too involved in a bad way. He told the REA to send him a report of all the applicants immediately for his review, within earshot of us all. I can't think of any reason why a LL would prefer a single tenant over a couple except that a single person is easier to bully/manipulate. I think I'm going with my gut on this one
Bailed and went home, while partner and his dad go to dinner. My everything hurts, and for the first time Macca's has made me feel better rather than worse.
Ah fuck, that sucks the worst when it happens on a weekend! I hope they can fix it up asap. I once had a monthly rent payment duplicated when the REA payment systems changed and that damn near gave me a heart attack
Was browsing online and they’ve acknowledged the problem but still doesn’t help me since I have payments coming out tomorrow and on top of that I can’t go out and do anything today.
I have had pretty good luck with the IUD cutting out a lot of the nonsense. Probably is having some kind of an effect on the rest of my body but I'll take it over the nightmare of the monthly bleed and weep
Figured I'd make a new comment for visibility - for anyone trying to comment/make a post from lemmy.world instance - it isn't visible to anyone on Aussie.zone for 7 days (if it even syncs at all)
There was a post explaining it months ago, seems like it still isn't fixed.

Ugh... Tempted. Gave up on cleaning the house today and been in bed all afternoon as I'm just beat. Craving a cheesy treat. But I think I'll leave that for tomorrow when I'm with a friend and have my leftover pasta for dinner tonight.
I put on the first Paddington movie for the boys the other day because I heard it was good when it came out, and it is quite good.
It's silly and over the top in all the right ways, with a villain that's just evil with clear motivations. It felt like a 90s movie made with today's technology.
Also turns out the director worked on Darkplace and directed all the Mighty Boosh episodes so of course it was going to be good
Thank you for checking. Can you please do me a favour? Can you type out the exact instructions on how to sign up for aussie.zone and I will copy and paste your words to Seagoon. I know she uses a browser and not an app. I have run out of ideas. Thank you.
Inspection 1 today, this was the best place I'd seen in the listings... mould in part of the bathroom and a lot darker than I expected. Given the amount it's going for though, with aircon and a nice kitchen, no surprise there's plenty of applicants - couples including with kids - suspect I won't be getting anywhere with this one. I also don't really need a 2br unit. I think I'll stick to 1br...
You'll have to do the 'unfamiliar market' tango - find a little old lady dressed in black, and follow her at a discreet distance and shop where she shops, buy what she buys. Has helped me out both here and in France (a longish time ago). No interaction as such necessary.
I was just lurking and seeing if anyone else got screwed over with the CommBank kerfuffle this morning and saw this. Figured I should try and help
I have no clue what happened or why she isn't on her Aussie zone account anymore, but she made a new account on Lemmy.world called lady_seagoon (which I think she's deleted now). Lemmy.world is currently suffering from ~7 day delays (i.e: nothing posted from a lemmy.world account will be visible here for a week or more). So nobody was replying to her posts or comments. This is because of the way Lemmy is built and Nath/lodion not wanting to invest the effort implement a fix, but that's a separate discussion
She then tried to subscribe from this community from her Lemmy World account, but when you subscribe to a community on another instance (in this case an Aussie zone community from an LW account), it will sometimes show subscribe pending. Why it does that isn't really important, but it's not because of an approval system or anything like that. It's just trying send that subscription confirmation if you will, over to AZ (which remember has a 7 day transit time before it arrives and processes)
She's best off logging back into her main account, but I'm guessing she forgot her password and didn't provide an email or something, in which case she can just choose a new username. Maybe "Seagoon__" or something, and all will be well. She'll have to be approved by Nath or lodion (because new accounts on AZ require approval by an admin). She could make an account on another instance (that is NOT LW), but it's really just easiest to make one on AZ.
To simplify what's happening, since Aussie zone is based in Australia, and Lemmy World is in Finland, you could think of it as Lemmy World sending every comment in a letter via boat. It's gonna take a while to arrive, a week in this case. Now we don't have the same issues, so you could think of us as sending comments and things by plane. The net result is that from LW you can see what's happening on Aussie zone in real time, but they can't see your responses, upvotes, comments, posts, etc for a week.
(It's caused by issues in Lemmy's code, not actually because we have a faster connection or anything. It was requested that Nath or lodion implement a fix in the meantime, but they didn't want to, so it's going to be like this until that bug is remedied, hopefully soon)
I think Orange1 is on another lemmy instance, so maybe something has gone wrong and it's gone through the process to try and create a new account elsewhere.
Maybe try logging out and making sure to be signing in as Seagoon_ on the aussie-zone page?
Edit: maybe need to clear cookies in the browser too?
Unsure if this going to edit my previous reply, or make a new comment. Does anyone else use connect app on Android? Whenever I try to make a new comment it 'restores from draft' and prefills the comment block with my last comment.
I use Jerboa too. Every now and then it takes too long to load and times me out, and I can see stuff but not do anything until I assume the mods tick a box.
I don't know if I should continue doing this assignment that I am attempting to do. I keep going around in circles trying to find suitable papers. It is four days overdue and we have a 5% per day late penalty. I want to submit something but I have two other assignments due end of this week that I haven't really started and want today to be the last day I work on this.
It's gonna be alright, maybe focus on the other two assignments, and let this one go. You are capable and savvy, and if your instinct says to work on the other two due at the end of the week, then maybe it's worth listening to :) trust yourself. You can do this! I'm sending you all of my good vibes and energy to you over the ether! 💜
