Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Many years ago I grew and birthed a baby. Today I did it again. 😎 Feast your eyes on my loaf
Image of a loaf of bread
Update will happen when I saw into the thing.
Image of loaf with two cut off piece. One buttered.
Verdict: Lovely crust. Soft inside. Maybe a little under done but still edible. 4/5 yum yums.
Note to ones self: Do not eat the whole thing before the roomies come home.

I admit I didn’t get a chance to have lunch before my appointment and looking at that loaf made my tummy grumble in hunger. Butter that up!
I must confess I’m impressed at the implied size of your … orifice. Congratulations.
Thank you. It was hard work but it was worth it.
oohh that’s nice looking. Would go really nice with some margarine or peanut butter right about now.
Oh yeah it’s gonna happen very soon.
Looks good enough to eat! Lovely.
Thank you.
baby sawer!
All good things must come to an end
That’s really nice 😊
Thank you. I’m looking forward to some of your bread recipes now that I’m a pro :)
I can’t seem able to make a good crunchy crust. ☹
Sometimes when I don’t get a good crunch on my baked goods it’s because I need to clean the oven. Hahahaha.Try this recipe. It might work for you
That looks delicious!
Thanks for sharing this recipe, will definitely try it!

The Herald Scum are at it again. According to them firefighters are being offered a “whopping pay increase”. 12% over four years - which means 3% a year. Wow, less than half the current inflation rate, how outrageous. 😡
Apparently it’s International Cat Day. I’d say make sure to spoil your cat, but mine’s very spoilt already.

Ohhh, he bustin’ out!
I love him!
He loves you too!
Had a chat with my boss, and I apologised for listening to things. He said that it’s fine to listen to things, just not to have my phone out. So podcasts and music are back on the menu boys!
good news
Exercises for this morning were completed, and to my surprise the Elder Minipeeler asked shyly if he could join me! It was a good teaching moment about not going at it too hard when you’re beginning with exercises so you don’t hurt yourself and get disillusioned, and doing 10ish minutes a day is a good habit to get into no matter what age or ability you are. He also showed me some exercises he’s been taught at school!Let’s see if he joins me again tomorrow or starts his own thing!
This is so adorably wholesome!!
It’s okay guys. The prawns were NOT on the counter. They were defrosting in the fridge. The years are getting to me and I can’t remember shit and now I can’t find my glasses. God save me.
I’m always saying to myself, "If they’re not on your face they’re in the case" to get me to put them back in the case when not in use. Doesn’t work, I’m often leaving them in some random place!
Lol it’s definitely not how it works. I try to put them in the few usual spots but there’s always the exception where I feel adventurous and try something else 😂
Omg are you me?
Now you can have prawns to celebrate!! Isn’t it so good that it wasn’t the other way around? What will you be making? 🍽
Yes true. Probs just a simple garlic chilli prawno.
I’ve always thought of prawns as a finicky, difficult dish but since starting to use frozen prawns I’ve realised how they can actually be simple enough
Depends on what you want to make I guess but seafood in general is pretty quick to cook and can be a really simple meal if you’re not fussed.
Once mine fell on the floor next to my computer, and the arms camouflaged perfectly with black mouse / keyboard cables etc. It took me a long time to find them that time - if you haven’t found them yet, good luck!
Thanks lol I found them right on my desk but I actually don’t normally leave them there so that’s a new one but it was still a big duh.
New fave baby age unlocked: he’s 9 months and when I put on a silly voice for a toy he thinks the toy is talking to him 🥲🥲🥲
3 months is pretty good when they start to smile at you though.
Very true 🥲 The spoiler alert is they are cuteness overload at every age hehe
I had a little nap. Woke up 2 hours later. We ate bread for dinner. No more bread left.
be prepared 💨💨💨
Oh it’s already started. There’s a war on.
next time leave the bread in the oven another ten minutes , turn the heat down a little if it’s getting too brown
There was a legitimate big bang about 40 mins ago and I heard it hooray. Apparently something entering the atmosphere.
Videos people got are pretty impressive.
Link?
I’m jealous I missed out, that looks GORGEOUS!
@StudChud @calhoon2005 I’m going to bet it was a Starlink satellite, based on this:
Might be able to verify if people using Starlink lost internet…
A comment on the r/ thread suggests it’s a stage from a Russian launch.
@calhoon2005
my conjecture is based also on the fact that’s been a peak in solar activity, a, G1-G2 level event:https://www.sws.bom.gov.au/Geophysical/2/1
which has potential to knock out satellites unintentionally, as opposed to expected launch stages, though the path for that seems to make potential sense too.
Most unintended re-entries of Starlink seem to be more dramatic with disintegration, so a different kind of item eg Russian, might well make sense, but here’s a confirmed Starlink satellite entering over Puerto Rico, for comparison:
Anyone else here old enough to remember Skylab??
That was neat. Thanks
Is that what that was? Lol
The starchy spud too

I don’t have anywhere/anyone else to show this to, but I caught a shiny Magikarp in Magikarp Jump. I named her Audrey.
So cute!!
She truly is! She didn’t win a jump league, but seeing her swim by in my pond, on her well earned retirement, is reward enough.
Imagine golden gyrados 🤤
Excuse me, shiny Gyrados is red tyvm
Get on my level, I’m a pokemon master, son
I really hate that when I try to study, I fall asleep. Holy shit, so inconvenient. Any suggestions for how to ease it?
sleep first get up early to study
Unfortunately it’s due to my brain chemistry more so then tiredness, because the topic doesn’t interest me and the questions confuse me, my brain shuts down as it’s always seeking dopamine and this doesn’t give me the dopamine I need. Lol. But I am going to try to go to sleep and wake up early to do more.
I used to listen to music or put on a movie for background noise while I studied.
Not for everyone though and I was always a night owl for those sorts of things.
Can you trick it using something like Pomodoro where you get a little reward every 20 mins?
I’ve discovered the magic of Slow Rail Journeys and now I just reallllllly want to go on one. Unfortunately it’s out of my budget for the foreseeable future, but God if I ever happen to just have a casual $1000 I don’t need, I’m 100% going on one
These look amazing!! I didn’t know these existed in Victoria - thank you!! (Now to find that $100 I also don’t need lol) Edit whoops $1000
thanks for this, The day trip trains they go on are only $70 so I might just go to castlemaine and go on that!
Shout out to daycare for being a pit of germs. He’s been in 1 bloody day and Im already fighting off some stupid cold thing.
Your immune system is about to see shit it hasn’t ever seen. Best of luck, stock up on hydralyte and panadol.
@Eagle @TinyBreak and if you don’t have it yet get a standing script for Ondasetron from your GP. Saved my ass 3 times in the first 12 months of my daughters many illnesses (yes, pretty much everything came from childcare, possibly one from swimming class) the one time I didn’t have it with me was miserable and the first time I had worshipped at the porcelain throne since pregnancy (which, fortunately, I only had to once… yes I was very lucky)…
Yeah thats the one bright side to this illness, at least its not vomiting or shitting myself.
In 12 to 18 months you’ll be invincible.
Since I’ve gone down a size or two I’m getting rid of the too big clothes and last of the stuff I don’t wear anymore. 👍 two bags of stuff for the op shop
Good morning to all you lovely people and pets.
Good morning from Pepper, who is grateful she didn’t have to spend last night hiding in the airport carpark, and instead sent purrs and hisses and little tiny growls all around my house.
Absolute cutie! She obviously loves you already!
She loves people, they have yummy things. The resisdent cats she does not like, but they are being respectful. She is coming around to the dog, because she plays.
Good morning Pepper. You dear little thing. I hope you have a wonderful day in front of the heater eating chicken. ♥
FYI I have found that you can edit the photo in any way no matter how minuscule and should load with the correct orientation.
I tried that to no avail, because you don’t need to see the mess that is the rest of the loungeroom!
Ok. Cute kitty tho. Is that your only one?
She is pretty. We have a sibling pair that we saved from a bucket last year. They’re grown ups now!
Oh my. Love it!
