Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
What a day. My 14 yo doggo had unfortunately passed away this morning - thought it was strange he wasn't sitting out in the sun which he usually does every sunny day. Such a gentle dog he was since getting him as a 3 month old pup in 2009, will surely miss him
Big condolences. Must have been sad to find him. Dogs are the best people.
Hugs homey. You gave him the best life, and he will be eternally grateful.
So sorry to hear about your doggo.
I’m sure you’ve got some great memories of both you of you together.
Checking in from Echuca. Having a beverage, splitting some wood etc..
Interesting, I'm going there tomorrow! Don't suppose you're going to Albury tomorrow to complete the circle? 😂
I’m just doing some family related stuff in the area. The fields of canola are epic.!
Cool, have you become a farm god now? Also your profile picture reminds me - there used to be this dude that'd pop up on my tiktok back when I still had it, Pablo EscoBarn. He was a fun barn cat that ate rats and mice to keep the grain safe
Not really relevant, just reminded me!
P.s anything fun to do in Echuca for a couple of hours on a Sunday?
What a beautiful sunny day, Bill Cat is out on the terrace soaking up the rays an I'll go for a walk later. 🤗😊 I tried to get the cat tax but as soon as I come near Bill gets up for a cuddle.
Also, MIL an BIL are coming over for dinner, I've got all my mushroom clothes on. 🍄🤭
Ugh, need to write an EOI for a job I don't really want but will provide me with some resume points I could really use.
TIL some people in the UK keep little hedgehog houses in their gardens so hibernating hedgehogs have somewhere safe to sleep.
One thing I don't love about Vegas is that my poor pink squishy lungs have become more sensitive to cigarette smoke over the years due to people not being able to smoke everywhere anymore, but in Vegas tobacco is caked into the place and people can smoke on casino floors.
I don't miss the morning headache which comes with being around that horrible shit. Cigarette smokers can get in the bin.
I don't know what you have planned while you are in Vegas, but I feel it's important that you know this place exists.
It might not be your thing, it might be out of your budget, but knowing it's an option is important. I didn't find out until after my last Vegas trip.
Can personally vouch for the Holsteins shake, they are fucking monsters.
Urrrgh. Another broken night's sleep as Zooks came in at about 3 and started snuggling hard with bonus headbutts.
Got the idea about an hour or so of it to turn the heater on and got to sleep until about 8, when she decided it was time for her morning snuggle and 'feed me bitch' nip.
Remind me to leave the heater on low tonight if it's gonna be this cold again.A bit of sunshine makes everything seem just a little bit better. Must be some kind of primal instinct. Warmer days to come.
Seasonal depression is real lol, a grey cloudy day will send me into a little spiral ugh.
A day like today is a big dose of much needed serotonin and norepinephrine 😗👌
So nice to wear shorts again! Nips could have cut glass this morning but damn this solar radiation feels good.
dunno. both times were with quite low comment counts. Might be my computer or the horrid slow internet here in Thornbury.
Have you blocked anyone? (By accident maybe) I tested it out a while ago and if you've blocked anyone, their replies are generally not visible at all, but if unblocked people then reply to them, sometimes the comment chain shows up collapsed but if you try to expand it it shows the spinny thing.
I saw the saddest thing ever at an opshop .One half of a best friends necklace 🥺
The dumb lamp next to my hotel bed has power outlets but my phone charger is too tall for it.. but I finally found an actual use for something you'll find in just about every hotel room. Thanks, Gideons!

Then Brad said.. "Let there be phone charging" and there was phone charging. And Brad saw that the phone charging was good.
Hmm I may not be down with the Good Book but I left my defacing bibles phase back in primary school (they gave us pocket bibles in RE and I took it home, put it in a plastic ice cream container - yes I was very smart in primary school - and burned it)
When will the weeds stop growing so that I can just sit in my garden and enjoy the sunshine?
I have visited the 24h dispensary and have night night gummies for sleepy time. We need to get Dan onto this.. friggin nerds keeping us from yummy ni nighs squishies.
Also when you legalise it, you get genius products like this:

Vegas dispensaries are the best. Have sampled Vancouver, Amsterdam and Barcelona but I think Vegas is the top tier now
I'm actually down south about an hour and a half from Vegas in a little town called Laughlin for the next few days. The reviews for the dispensary were glowing though and I can see why. Very nice.
Everytime I talk to mates back in Canada, they politely remind me that weed is legal and easily available.
I mean, I'm high now, but still....wish I could just go and get some at the local
Heres a brushy session with Gibson:

In other news, finally feeling better from that flu. Got a haircut, wrote some lyrics for my EP and about to smash some guitar and video games. Life is good ❤️
