Elder finally got picture of elusive rabbit
That looks like a pet rabbit, I wonder if it is possible to catch it and have a vet scan it for a microchip.
You'll prolly need a towel and a heap of patience. Try to throw the towel over the bunny and that should keep it calm, and if you pick it up it is best to tuck it into your elbow and armpit while keep it's back legs supported, and it's front legs in your other hand. This should stop it from kicking and possibly breaking its back.
Leafy greens should be a good coaxing method, and carrots. Or you can just take the time to befriend it and it may be more amenable to being touched.
Edit: I am trying to use the photo to id the breed. Possibly a Lop of some kind based on its ears, but it could also just be nervous. Hard to tell without knowing it's actual size
Maybe a dwarf lop? I think it's a dwarf lop, so prolly someone's escaped pet.

The last time I bought USD cash from the bank I walked in, spoke to the teller who hooked me up and I was out within maybe 4 minutes including them going to get the cash for me.
Today I was directed to take a seat as if I was there to apply for a home loan and nearly 50 minutes later was walked to a back 'office' and sat down like I was applying for a home loan, had to verify my email address, phone number and then verify via the mobile app that I was indeed sitting in front of someone at the bank, then re-state what I wanted. The guy went and got a single form for me to sign stating they're giving me 4 x $20 and 2 x $10 notes, then quizzed me about what I do for a job and about my large savings account and what I'm saving up for, and I said no I'm not looking for a home loan right now, then he just walked me to the teller which I'd been sitting next to who had been there with no line in front of her for the entire time I was there and she sold me the cash. I very rarely complain but I complained and remained obviously angry that this was taking so long during my entire chat with the guy in his little office but he still felt it was a good idea to give me a little quiz rather than just sell me the fucking piddly $100 cash I came in for.
CommBank, you fucking SUCK now.

Morning all! Bunny Peeler has been discovered in a kind of nest against the fence, made from a hollow between the fence and some grassy orchid-like flowering plant. It's hard to get to (hidden behind a rose and a geranium) and looks like they've been living in there for a while, munching on violet leaves and such (the hollow is well worn).

Gym before work. Urghhhhhh
I used to do that but then I'd be wiped out and wrecked for the entire day.
For me exercise can only happen if I have nothing else left to do afterwards!
I just can't be fucked after work. And I figure, why should work get the best of me?
And HERE is my Catch-22 π

One of my neighbours is having a hard time.
They're been playing 'Nothing Compares to you' the Sinead version, for like 40 minutes now.
Oh dear. They saaad
They've changed it to Meatloaf 'I would do anything for love' now, things must be bad.
So I was cleaning my teeth when I heard this odd sound of water glugging in the shower.
Turn around to see Zooks with her fluffy bum hovering over the drain, pissing down it.
Saves on the scooping, I suppose...
It doesn't look pretty with the Maltesers but I tell you what it works.

Morning all!
So does Sammi want chicken breast cut up into pieces by my own fair hands?
No, she wants Aldi pouch food. π€¦π»ββοΈ
You've gotta pretend it's for you, then she'll want it.

I am more movicol than man.
Get some pear nectar into you. Warm it if you need a fast result, cold tastes better if you just need a helping hand.
Are you getting enough fluids and fibre during the day? If it's due to medication then you gotta up those fluids and fibres.
Yeah it's medication that's doing it. I eat a fair bit of fibre but probs could drink more water.
I'm hoping it settles soon because it's a slight alteration of meds.

I'm so tired but it's the nice kind of tired. Maybe it's the happy chemicals from the gym this morning.
Shout out to my main man Archimedes who just helped me pull a bunch of deep steel stakes outta the ground. Getting a new veg patch so old one has to go.
Bashed the shit out of the first one with a hammer and wiggled it like a caveman, came out eventually and whilst cathartic wasn't ideal was a bit of (rave alert) a Dustup. So Archi came to the rescue.
Basically screwing the stake into a long bit of wood using the ground as a fulcrum and lift.
I think every cop in Melton and surrounds including the serious suit wearing types are at Woodgrove shopping centre in Melton and they have a whole entrance taped off. Wouldn't be surprised to hear something on the news if it isn't already.
A sixteen year old has been stabbed. He is deceased. Very sad.

I have a co-worker who basically used me to trauma dump about her past abusive relationship. Now she's being very cryptic with another co-worker, saying things like, "I've been publicly humiliated" or when she went to meet with her ex after they had been no longer together for a year, "I'm in trouble". She met with him to see if she was over him but she was still in contact with him the whole time (because she believed he was her soulmate).
I honestly feel like she's just looking for a reaction now and she's got some growing up to do. Yes, she's had a shitty experience and I think I've acknowledged that to her. But ultimately, this is her life and she can decide what she wants to do. The whole thing is ridiculous and I'm sick of hearing about it.
It's not fun being someone else's emotional garbage can. They dump stuff on you so they can be rid of it themselves.
That having been said, I reckon the 'soulmate' meme is fairly damaging to both participants, although it does allow someone to project all the virtues in the bible onto a partner who probably can't sustain that level of expectation, particularly if young. But that is just my opinion. Gordon Lightfoot's song If You Could Read My Mind being a fairly harsh illustration of how it feels to be the recipient of unrealistic expectations.

Trauma dumping unbeknownst to the other can actually have an effect on you even if it didnβt happen to you.
More so if itβs constant. Sheβs looking for validation or something. Sheβs got to change her actions or itβll keep just repeating.
Sheβs also fallen into the soulmate trap as well and sometimes for her itβs easier believing in the fairytale than to wake up to reality.
I need to wash some dishes but canβt do that while also lying down in bed.
Iβm sure you understand the difficulty.

I had to buy a few things from the supermarket, it's a minefield of really really bad food/snacks. I was strong, only good food and necessities were bought. At home now having afternoon coffee, with skim milk , and some peanut butter toast.
Vintage LPs have been bought, more Peter Cook and Dudley Moore and some music. π

Looking for my glasses ??? They are on my face. π
Does raspberryβs in cookies make the batter look kinda green or did I eat half a mouldy cookie without noticing ? Bought from woolies, was working and snacking without looking.
No. It sounds like they were packaged when they were still warm. It's most likely mold.
Can you take a photo of any remaining ones and show us?

Morning
Ok I love hearing stories about how people met their partners! So how did the partnered people among us meet their SOs? :)
I had worked at my old job for 6 years and was an operations and billing consultant; he joined as a temp in the call centre. Xmas Party was coming up and all us permanent staff petitioned to have the temps join the party too, as they were initially excluded. But my team/department wanted to show them how much we appreciated their help so we won.
Him and I had a bunch of drinks at that party, and he invited me back to his place in Rezza; as it was on my line too (Epping) I said yep... Stayed the night lol. We were FWB for a few months, but we both caught feelings and have been together since Jan 2019
Ex fiance (lasted 6 years)
Met through a friend that I used to smoke weed with back in the early 2000 's.
She was kind of the "star" of her little hippie group. She loved talking about spirituality. All the dudes around her would just agree with everything she said presumably to try to impress her.
I didn't. I thought her ideas were not the best and challenged her on a bunch of her woo stuff.
Apparently that caught her interest because no one else ever disagreed with her. It was cool debating stuff with her.
Kept hanging out and we hooked up one night and kept going from there.
I do regret us getting together though. It was a big mistake on my part because I was too young and naive to recognise red flags.
He is one of my best friendβs husbandβs best friends. Weβve been to dinners together and what not for 7+ years and always admired each other but it wasnβt until early last year that I was out with my friend and was all βsooβ¦ howβs xx?β, we set up a dinner for the four of us and finally swapped numbers.
