Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Work from home, light day on the schedule at work, so I decided to do a cheeky bake session in the garage.
Guess who was looking at the wrong Friday, and has meetings all afternoon?
Go on, guess.
This gave me a good chuckle, thank you lol. Good luck! 😂
I’ll manage. Not completely baked, just nice and toasty. Can function without arising too much suspicion.

Of course not. Mine neither.
the garage?
Compression session!
I wasn’t ‘baking’ I was getting ‘baked’
I’d say you read the schedule 100% and applied the correct survival strategy
Good advice. Got one more to go and am, thankfully, feeling grounded
The baker
Oh.
Oh no.
As part of the sorting I redid the TV stand (we’re going to eventually put the TV on an articulated arm up over the fireplace, with the cavity cabinetted out as a console nook), moved it out into His Lordship’s office ‘cos the little bugger has had greedy eyes on it since we started dating 20 odd years ago and wants it for his gaming corner (it’s actually mine and predates him), then shufted the big ol’ 78 record player over where the TV stand was and plonked the TV and accoutrements on top of it as a temporary measure.
Thing is, that’s over a heating vent.
And Misha remembered she fits under it

I have made a terrible mistake
Your cat is really adorable!
She’s a demon shitbag, mother of buttheads!
I know the feeling lol
Good kitty.
Dinner is served. The silverside did not fall apart.
I am the master chef, come at me bruh 🖐🖐
Masterfully executed silverside!
First time too, I don’t generally cook meat. Turned out real nice. Leftovers will be used in another dish.
Yay, go you! Perfect!
🥰💜
Minus points for ovening potato… but I still want it
I’ll cook you a smol german feast instead: homemade pretzels, kartoffelpuffers, sauerkraut, bratwurst. Much better than this.
I accept your terms of surrender
😳🥔😍
That sounds delicious!
You little beauty. Tuck in and enjoy. Don’t forget the mustard.
🤤👉👉
Looks fantastic.
Leaving me drooling here with how tasty it all looks.
I do love the hubs but jesus I get a lot more done when he’s not around. Dining room is 100% cleared, most of lounge, things getting squared away and navigable w00t w00t. Also I get to blare music like whoa.
one horrible upside to the housing crisis: It’s real easy to get rid of packing boxes on your local buy nothing group

Image is of spring rolls in lettuce.
yum yum spring rolls in lettuce is my fave 😍🤤
bloody hell there are lots of great cooks here on the dt😊
Yummm.
Day off today to celebrate Mr Smeg’s birthday.
Then tomorrow is the day we pickup the dog
Not a bad week really
Happy Birthday! 🎂
Happy birthday to Mr Smeg and happy gotcha day to little Batdog! Have a great long weekend.
Happy birthday to Mr Smeg! I hope you all have a lovely day and omg yay Batdog!!
Ok, get the pitch forks out.
I don’t like sardines. They are too fishy. There, I said it.
Apparently the Melbourne subreddit has been banned for “violating the Reddit rules”? Huh…
I wonder what rules 🤔
Honestly I think this is Spez going after the subreddits that dared to challenge him. He did threaten to some time ago, after all.
Looks to be back now… seems like the mods are either not saying why or don’t know themselves.
Edit: “We reached out to them and they did the bleep bloop and we’re back from the dead 🙌”
👀
People are asking why on r/australia. This looks interesting. Also comment history for r/melbourne is gone too.
Holy shit!
Whats on for the weekend all? Last night i went out dancing to a live jazz band which was lots of fun. Tonight is Fish & Chips and mead maintenance. Tomorrow is yoga/meditation at the Buddhist centre followed by my first date in 2 years, going to see Oppenheimer, excited and nervous haha. Saturday night going to see the Burnt Sausages and then we have a nice chilled out Sunday :)
I have a cake to make today, drinks tonight and lunch at the local Vietnamese restaurant on Saturday.
Chocolate mousse cake?
You are correct.
Goodluck :)
Thank you.
Just a chill night tonight. Tomorrow going to an “Emo vs Anime” club thing which should be super interesting lol Sunday I train a friend of mine at the gym and make meals for the week. Good luck tonight!
Sounds like a great weekend :)
I think, and I could well be wrong here, that we don’t have any kids birthday parties on this weekend for once.
Haha, i hope for your sake that you are correct and you get to enjoy your weekend some other way :P
Final (8 week follow up) psychology sesh with the really awesome dude, gonna be back at mine for the weekend after a month so lots of plant maintenance to do. Cooking. And then maybe Barbie with a friend
Good luck on the date mate!
Enjoy the plant maintenance and movie :)
Date should be okay, at least its not an app first date. Its someone i met on my snow trip who was a friend of a friend that we were staying with, so we have already spent some time together :)
kidcalhoon2 just skated to school for the first time, we were late, and i couldn’t get Huey Lewis and the News out of my head the whole time…haha. just needed a car to skitch on
Oh sweet you got a board.
Yeah. MrsCalhoon actually grabbed one, just a basic cruzer as there was a lot of asking and whinging whilst at the shops… Just from Kmart to start, but decent size wheels so a sympathetic board. Kidcalhoon2 loves it.
This pleases me greatly.
Just perusing r/BannedSubs for clues. Multiple subs got banned and returned. No explanation given yet.
If anyone wants to do a recruitment drive now is the time. Head to r/australia. Lol
Cheers misfits and 'ave a bloody good weekend 🍺

This ongoing situation at work has me horrifically anxious. I am so done with toxic workplaces and just wish i could find a chill job to settle down in and probably return to study. My last job ended up being very toxic and now this one. I’m feeling pretty hopeless and terrified my next job is also going to be toxic. Man I wish i had a time machine so I could just relive the years 2011 - 2017 over and over again. Those were happy years with a great job.
What happened to that 2011 2017 job?
I sadly got made redundant after the company was bought out by an investment firm
I’m sorry to put a dampener on everyones friday night, but I’m not coping right now. I feel like my life isn’t getting better I feel like the last few years I’ve been in this near constant state of fight or flight. I just wish my life would finally settle down. the last few years every time I think it has, something happens to cause chaos again. I’m just exhausted and stressed out and I don’t want to be here any more.
