Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
I sketched a head and a face digitally. Seems it looks a lot better when I use a reference.
I'm very tired but not sleepy at all and going insane with boredom
art videos on YT !!
I do, but then I see advanced things like Loomis and get scared
Currently there is one braincell online
I watched a calligraphy YT this evening. Made me feel so bad at it. Also verified I need better broader nibs.
They make it look so easy.
Pretty sure I'm going to sleep the best I have in quite a while tonight. Nice and cool. Pretty tired. I'm excited to wake up refreshed tomorrow
I'm really tired but last night I dared go to sleep at 9pm, so I woke up at 1:30 and couldn't get back to sleep until 6am so now I'm scared to sleep early (for me) again :/
Whatβs your go-to toilet paper brand? Usually get Quilton in bulk from Amazon but they have no stock and I have no idea what to buy, itβs been my choice for ages.
Ok so this is probably going to be controversial but I just use the cheap stuff they sell at aldi. I think they call it continence or something. It's just a simple 3 ply. No double length or king size, just normal
At my last place they just bought the cheapest garbage they could find. They bought 1 ply unperforated jumbo rolls, and it really sucked. It was rough, and if you were unwell with diarrhoea or whatever you were better off only doing a quick wipe and then showering because it was basically sandpaper. So my bog roll bar isn't particularly high
The Aldi double length 3 ply Confidence brand. Comes in a four pack or an eight pack. Good quality, cheap and one roll lasts quite a long time. Yes it does fit in my roll holder. During covid I was getting the triple length rolls from colesworth and they only just fit the holder. My holder is a suction one from Bunnings and is not a permanent attachment but works fine on the tiled wall of the toot. And I can move it around if I want to or to clean the walls.
Who gives a crap, the bamboo one. Because large quantities of tp just turn up on the doorstep periodically and I don't have to think about it.
The normal one is pretty ordinary, I get the bamboo one too. A big box lasts me like a year. Set and forget.
Not sure about the bamboo one but I saw aldi selling it in Jan
My Aldi has it too. But I prefer the Confidence brand for quality. WGAC is kinda flimsy, more expensive, harder to store that quantity and, I am not a fan of it. And my Aldi is so conveniently located that I don't need to buy in bulk. Though I did enjoy my sister's family xmas present just before covid, which was a Christmas themed WGAC toilet roll. Nearly as much fun as the photocopier paper reams with the covering paper printed with a gold mitre for the Pope's last visit to Melbourne. I nicked one of those from work for a souvenir.
Quilton king size. Three pieces is too many.
quilton double
Kleenex double length.
Do they fit in a standard roll holder? Not that I know what a standard holder is, but mine donβt go very far off the wall.
It fits on my holder. That's a full roll.
The holder it's self doesn't move. I can measure the roll if you like.
No, they don't. The roll has to perch on top until it gets down small enough to fit on the holder
Tortellini time?
Tortellini time
My indoor cat just dashed through the door as I was going out. First time she has done this. I only adopted her almost a month.
Panic!
She jumped my fence which borders a large park. I grabbed a blanket, some food and went into the park, yelling her name but not really hopeful.
My son comes out yelling "Mum! She's at the back door!". He let's her in and she bolts for a bed to hide under.
She can have all the pets and treats tonight. My heart rate is gonna take some time to recover.
NtccCat:
My girl broke through a flyscreen while I was out. I got home and freaked the fuck out. Ran around in a panic.
Found her hiding from the rain, meowing sadly next to the window she broke out of.
Aww! poor girl! I bet the relief you felt when you got her back was intense. Sounds like the rainy weather kept her close.
My girl just bolted. When she jumped the fence my heart dropped. We're close to Scotchmans Creek and the foxes there that have been known to attack cats. She's not much of a climber inside so seeing that just told me how panicked she was. Or determined.
Since she's been back inside she's had some bonus treats and resumed sitting in her favorite spot by the window.
I don't think I had ever panicked like that before in my life.
I think inside cats have this incredibly optimistic view of being outside cats, then reality kicks in and they want their treats and brushies lol
Silly puss.
I could not find a nice card for Steak and Blowjob dayπ
I think that's the point. You don't need a card, just an appetite for meat.
