Inflation is bloody real. Coles shredded Mozzarella cheese is $11, I remember it being like $7.00 whereas the 250gram shredded is $6.00.

Damn, didn't get to finish up what was I supposed to do at work though the job was a little bigger than I thought in the end.

Hopefully can finish it up tomorrow.

Nearly time to wrap up the day and then off grocery shopping I go.

Herring is on my mind.

Herring, I've got you on my mind, fish, you won't ever know
How much I need you in my belly, promise you won't ever go
I won't take no from you this time
Herring, I've got you on my mind

Loving early starts and finishes and already clocking up nearly 6.5ks of walking just tramming into the cbd for work and back and working. Was hard work today and as a few in the company have said, there's no need to go to a gym as work is a workout. Training and money is pretty sweet and all my co-workers are great, my colleague today I'd never worked with and asked me my pronouns which is always a good sign.

On the way home I scored a proper oodie of the baby unicorn print variety and black stovepipe dungarees from the salvos. The oodie is warm, oversized soft and is baby blue, powder pink and white so you know, basically a gay / trans pride oodie as far as I'm concerned. It's nice to find clothes I know I'm going to basically live in for reasonable prices. Still undecided about whether salvos are cool or not, but their staff are at least.

Absolutely gorgeous day out there too, so I'll smash my ks up to 11 with a nice stroll around this lovely neck of the south of the rivers woods. Also already been able to share some totally un-asked for kindness through my volunteer work as well, so today's about as wholesome as I can hope for.

Thx for reading and love to you all my little dt family.

Watching Dune (2021) - I fell asleep watching this once and also fell asleep watching the original version...maybe third time will be the charm?!

Miss Meow thought playing with the clothes hanging on the drying rack looked like fun. She successfully subdued the lingerie bag, but got stuck in my bra. I had to rescue her (and the bra) but she looks completely unrepentant.

I found a really good way to think of fat/weight control.

Everyday there are three possible outcomes. We get fatter, we stay the same, we get thinner. Mark each day on the calendar. The trick is to slowly move from "get fatter" to "stay the same", then from "stay the same" to "get thinner". Then it's stay the same thereafter.

It probably means No Junkfood. Diet. Stay on diet.

Look, I'll be brutally honest. If you have excess fat, it will scream at you to feed it. You need to simply not listen to it. Skip the rice with dinner. Just have fruit and yoghurt for breakfast. Don't eat until you're full. Stay active, do aerobics. It will get pretty bad after a week or so, but once you start to starve the fat off, you can start noticeably losing fat every day.

Where to get a stack of pancakes piled high with Banna and berries and whatnot? Somewhere in the city between 8 and 10 this mroning would be perfect

[edit] ooo pancake Parlour is open already?! I thought they didn't open until 11 or something. Still open to suggestions though

'I mean,' she said, 'that one can't help growing older.'

'One can't, perhaps,' said Humpty Dumpty; 'but two can. With proper assistance, you might have left off at seven.'

if only, one can dream

lol'd at the old-man rant on r/melbourne - wiener.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (8 children)

So I get the yelling at clouds thing and thereโ€™s nothing more classic than redditor complaining about reddit on reddit.

Thereโ€™s no way you could know this but thatโ€™s exactly the kind of user I target when I champion Lemmy and our awesome community here.

Here you have a person who may or may not post often but took the time to write about the degradation (real or perceived) of r/Melbourne. They seem to care about some semblance of quality for an online community. Which we have here.

prime candidate to drop a line to.

Now. If and when they come poking around the DT here, what comments might they see.?

I like you and you ad value here so please donโ€™t take as a personal attack just an observation.
