Just can’t shake the blues. No idea what’s wrong specifically, just a grey cloud hanging over me.
I think the isolation might be getting to me. I don’t normally speak to a friend more than once or so a fortnight.
That’s a big part of work for me. I miss being around people. I feel alive when I’m around people. I’m getting by on the fumes of an oily rag so going out and doing stuff isn’t really possible.
Just gotta be patient.

The intermittently grey weather doesn’t help. I know what you mean about work. I feel a bit disconnected from society without it. The people in this thread have been an essential part of me feeling more connected to people.
I get it. Vast majority of my social interactions are through work. If it went away, I’d be lost, and I have been in the past. With the tenacity you appear to have, I’m sure it will be over soon and you’ll be looking forward to your solo evenings and weekends with Gibson. Hang in there 💪
we’re here , hugs
Just can’t shake the blues
Drowning in these melancholic hues
Shades of hope ride the rising tide
Adrift but I know it’s gonna be alrightI really relate to this. While I’m off work I’ve somehow turned into someone who goes to the gym everyday (I am so not a natural exerciser), and part of that is just the benefit of being around people. I’m only doing group classes so there’s a bit of a community feel. And I’m throwing myself into some existing volunteer stuff.
The cold weather is not helping.
I’m a card-carrying introvert, but prolonged isolation (and lack of purpose) will definitely bring round grey clouds that are hard to shift. Permanent WFH was really shit for me in that regard. I could feel myself sinking a bit before I got my current jobs too, the break was nice at the start but then I started getting a bit loopy…
Really crossing my fingers that something pans out for you very soon mate. It’s been a while 😔
Dinner report part 2.
As I wrote below bro has been in hospital and he really is poorly, no denying that, even hypochondriacs get sick. Husband’s mother was there, she’s elderly now, and she was complaining she was so tired from visiting bro in hospital everyday. It’s a 45 min drive there .
I got 🙄 and reminded her the doctors told her to only visit every second day. She was so angry that she couldn’t play victim. I do not care, I don’t think the others did either.
She asked if she could take food home, I gave her the scrapings off her own plate and put them in an old washed take away container. She didn’t get a carry bag either. She doesn’t get meals to take home anymore , not after her slanderous games.
I just do. not. care.
I made scones. Cheese, pepper & chives and pumpkin & chilli flakes. All very delicious. I’m tired now.
they look nice 😋
Thank you. They were really good.
cheese seems to make the best crusts on bread and scones, so crunchy delicious
I used pecorino with peppercorns. I used so much that it wasn’t fair to just call them cheese & chives scones.
Ooommmgggg. I still gotta make mine, but considering making crumpets and muffins as well. The latter freeze real easy
I made them in the airfryer. 10 minutes on 190c.
Love a scone, especially in this weather.
Baker’s delight had some nice cheese & chive scones but they’re gone now so I had to make my own.
Bet yours are better!
Naw. Thanks. They are pretty close. Your biscuits inspired me.
I love how TPG try to stop you from accessing piracy websites, and it takes 1 min to circumvent their protection.
Opera has a built in VPN.
thats what you get for using TPG, assuming they arnt your only option for some reason.
Sadly they are the only option other than telstra. And telstras prices are insane.
How come it’s the only option?
If it’s NBN then you can get pretty much any provider. Unless you have something like Opticomm or 5G?
You can get a torrent search plugin for qbittorrent so you can download straight from the program and skip the need to go to the sites at all
You could look into the RealDebrid option paired with Kodi.
The Remuneration Tribunal that determines the wages of Victorian politicians has just released it’s determination. The government which has a policy that govt. sector employees should have wage rises capped at 3% has just been awarded 3.5% raises for themselves.
Of course they have.
With all the other benefits they get as well? What a joke.
I have a business idea for anyone that wants to take it. I noticed Red Hat have a partner page, and their aren’t a lot of Australian based companies on there. LibreOffice also has a page about LibreOffice enterprise and LibreOffice in the cloud.
Go through the certifications and you could have your own consultancy that sets up Linux and LibreOffice for businesses.
It’s not a guaranteed money maker and you’d need to offer other services, but it’s nice to know there’s an option to get people off Windows. There might be demand for it with concerns around recall and the demands of Windows 11.
Do with this what you want, I don’t have the time, skills, or network to make this viable myself.
pasta with tomato and chicken for dins
Yum. I have chicken drums airfried tonight.
Now that it’s July, I’m seeing so many users with a cake next to their name because of how many people joined in June and july after reddit banned 3rd party apps
Oh yeah - that’ll be me in a couple of days. And for the exact same reason. I had a couple of days detox and then decided to look into this Lemmy thing on July 4.
Just back from Brunswick and popped into some opshops. Not one stripe jumper on the racks anywhere. All gone.
@Seagoon_ Wifey is trying to claim that it’s really not that uncommon to mix Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes, Nutra Grain, and Weet Bix together. And to eat this particular cereal combo for dinner.
I’m not doubting her… I just haven’t come across this combo before.
Anyone else here mix three different breakfast cereals?
@ajsadauskas @Seagoon_ My kids have acquired the habit of multiple cereals from my father-in-law.
I just can’t. Sensory horror in a bowl.
Anyone else here mix three different breakfast cereals?
Every time I get to have a hotel buffet breakfast. I go from 45 to 8 in an instant.
@calhoon2005 Haha Any kind of buffet or all-you-can-eat situation doesn’t count!
A cereal dinner is the dinner you have when you can’t decide on what to have for dinner.
@CEOofmyhouse56 @ajsadauskas “family sized” cinnamon toast crunch isnt a description, its a challenge
The dinner part is a stretch for me. I could see people doing this, when they’re still in primary school
@ajsadauskas @Seagoon_ I’ve mixed two cereals together when one box is running out. I suppose if you had three that complimented each other it’d be fine!
I don’t think I’ve ever had access to multiple cereals at once.

Just in case you’re wondering, there is a Tour de France app to look at while you’re watching…
Years ago, someone did a live feed using Google Earth mixed with the coverage and various graphs on screen and it was the best coverage I’ve seen…
The irony of me being so active in food subs. But I used to really enjoy cooking and want to pass my favourite tips and recipes on

Have you seen this yet?
I have seen and will play again 💖
Because I’m old, I remember this from the Windows 95 install CD!
That and ‘Good Times’ by Edie Brickell.
So I’m watching a Pattaya 4k walking video on YouTube. Honestly I just find these working girls on the streets in next to nothing quite sad.
