Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Son is sleeping over at a mate's house and daughter went to an NYE party at her friend's...one street over.
Wife and I got a bit stoned tipsy and frisky....daughter came back to get some board games....if the door was unlocked or she was there 10 minutes early...she'd be scarred for life
Happy New year everyone!!!
Out of everyone here...you KNOW how this is
10 minutes early
That's about 7 minutes more I than can go.
Happy new year!
The teenage-like makeout session we were having beforehand could have been more embarrassing
I hope everyone has a great night! I'm incredibly grateful this oasis from the cesspit of the online world.
Happy new year in advance, from Gibson and the treat dispenser :)
Happy New Year to the best cat dad and to all the kitties. π
Boyo telling me he would pick my cooking over his favourite take out π₯Ήπ₯° (unless I can cook it the next day π€£π€£)
I need to stop spending money, I just spent a small fortune on updated noise cancelling headphones. I've decided I am going to go cold turkey, no more spending for the rest of the year.
New Year's Resolutions anyone?
For me, more fruit, more drinking, more drugs.
Mo'money
Mo'bitches
But actually to get fitter.
To be better than I was lol big ask I know I know π
You are amazing how you are, but we will always change and grow!
More glitter! And more movement.
I "joined" the Libreoffice marketing team this year (it means I've been added to the reply-all when someone emails the marketing email address). I'd like to do something interesting on that front that could get some traction. It seems like most of the people involved are old IT guys from Greece and Malta, and the promotional material they've put out recently has been very ugly and "German" coded. Just too busy with too much going on, not sleek and minimalist like a modern software company
To keep pushing forward
make my new schedule a habit
I'm pretty happy with the way things are going at the moment, so I guess just keep doin' what I'm doin'. Boring for a New Year's Resolution, but boring is good.
I'm actually the same; been exercising and watching what I eat and steadily and very slowly losing weight and getting more toned, so I'm going to keep up the good work!
Nah, that's a bad habit
What you got against fruit?
Idk I've always been pretty suss of durian tbh
True and cantaloupe is putrid too.
Beach!
Cold evening, looks like I will be wearing a jumper, hat and coat to the beach for nye fireworks
just the other night was unbearable warm
Happy new year all!
Cheers fam π»π»

Whatβs everyoneβs NYE plans? For me, a friend hosts a gathering each year with a small group of regulars. Itβs close to home so getting there & home is easy. Thereβs usually a spit and other yummy foods and a bonfire. I may get quite drunk as a fitting send-off to this year.
Stay home and watch Dinner for One and YouTube lol, maybe catch up on the seasons of Dragula I've missed. Hang out with the cat.
I'm so exciting and young.
My switch is going to get a workout lol
Spending this one at home given how tough the year has been. Probably just have favourite movies from the year on in the background while I put together goals for next year and a year ahead tarot reading before catching some local fireworks and bed.
Stay home and re-arrange my sock drawer. I kid you not - I'm immersed in a major shuffle & redeal of home furnishings/cupboards/clothing atm. Hoped to get it done by now, but no dice. Then tackle the bookshelves with the remainder of my leave. Probably won't get to that this holidays now. Some major donating of unwanted cookware etc. coming up in the new year too. Will take a break at midnight to have a drink and wish the new year well and wait for the noise to die down a bit before attempting sleep.
Make pasta. Stay up as late as I can. Sleep in as late as I can.
Probably will be asleep by 11 at the latest.
Happy New Years everyone!!
Drug the cats and put on some bass heavy music before the boomies start. Boyo may or may not get out of work early, so food plans pending. Otherwise, nada.
I've heard of people running the dryer on the airing cycle with a few tennis balls in to hide the noise. Luckily enough I've never needed it, one of the perks of being in the sticks.
Interesting technique! I don't own a drier. We are only about 1km from a big Boom site now. I've not heard sound check, so might be paranoid about how bad it will be...
Wander along the waterfront and catch up at a local with some friends/fam early. Might stick around to see if I can see the 9:30 fireworks. Hopefully home in bed by 10:30 π which is just perfect in my books
Went to friends house a couple of nights ago for tea & drinks so tonight it'll be a quiet one.
I hope there's a spit for you to enjoy!
I will eat snacks with the kids and watch ABC, same as every yearπͺπΏ πΊπ
Tonight's choon
Can't argue the sentiment. Prefer less chant type stuff. 5/10 belly rubs?
Went for a drive and a waterfall walk, Toorongo Falls Reserve is so pretty!!
Iβm trying not to fall asleep. So tired of doing that and waking up in the night
