What's everyone up to on this cold Saturday night?

[–] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (3 children)

I just had some very satisfying porridge. All winter, whenever the evening chills hit, I've been having a bowl of porridge.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've been having porridge for breakfast the past week

Pizza is on its way and using my local fb group to try to find a home for the strays.

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Omg yes pizza. I made Korean chicken sandos and they were aaaaaamaaazing. What are your pizza toppings of choice?

[–] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

Pretty much a vegetarian with salami and olives. Best of both worlds!

Just home after a busy day and now parked in the lounge under the heater

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I might do some reading in between doing gentle tidying up

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 points 4 months ago

That was my morning, my evening has been scrap booking and word searches. Perfect!

Watching tv but am getting tired so will turn the electric blanket on so it’s starts to warm up while I get ready for bed. A very boring night.

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 points 4 months ago

A fuckin' great choice, I hope it feels fantastic!

[–] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Drinking heavily and watching John Carpenter movies.

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 points 4 months ago

Hell yes!!! Got a fav? I'm a bit too scaredy cat for anything John Carpenter but LOVE what he's done, if that makes sense. Hope you're had a horrifically cozy evening.

I just played a quiz with YL and her friend and I whipped their arses.

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

Hell yes!! I've got my first trivia night in years coming up this week, could do with you on the team please!

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago
