3 degrees here. Cold air was very sharp taking the rubbish out. I think itโ€™s gonna get colder than the predicted low overnight. Be prepared for a very frost morning.

Gratitude thread!

Booked in for five hours of karaoke last night. I think in the last hour, I sang one song. But it was really nice to spend time with friends who I can be myself around and have fun with :) they accept my weirdness!

(Is that not the point of friendship? Some people I feel like I have to mask around more than others)

I'm also grateful for reading the responses to these threads! :)

Grateful to have been paid and can take the cat to the vet this week for his vaccinations and a checkup for his bile vomit.

Grateful for the cat, he's the best thing to have happened to me.

Grateful for my partner supporting me and Mickey, for all our faults.

We sang all kinds of things! Mostly pop, rock and a hint of musical theatre. Friend also added the Star Spangled Banner and made it scream-o.

I am grateful for salt, making life delicious. Some lovely sunshine, learning new things, and my bossy cat.

it's sunny here so it's off to the park to catch some rays

I washed the woolen underlay I use as a dog blanket a couple of weeks ago and hung it outside to dry. I missed taking it in before rain hit so it had to stay out longer. Now I have a magpie coming in regularly to collect nesting material from it, so I guess it has to stay there now.

Today, I heard someone refer to a flannel shirt as a โ€œwestern shirtโ€..I had not heard that one before.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Whaaaaat! Western shirt - tight fitting cotton plaid, sometimes with press studs. Flannel shirt - made with flannelette cotton (which is thicker) or wool, worn looser with ordinary buttons.

Two different style of shirts.

I grew up hearing "western shirt", another term was a Miller Shirt as that was the popular brand. But then it had to have pearl snaps. I expect flannel shirts have buttons.

I've been listening to Chappell Roans album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess and I'm in love.

lovey mushy goo goo shiteMy partner came home from work last night and started playing Stellaris while listening to the album as well. He said we should go see her if she comes to Aus. He says one of the reasons he loves me is that I never judge him for liking Pop music, and I sing along with him to Call Me Maybe lol. He knows the lyrics better than I do.

I love my Pop Boi.

Hi all. If you pay for Parcel Post online but don't have a printer, can you go to the PO and get them to print it out for you?
