Let the joy be unbridled! My neighbour’s windchimes have FINALLY broken through their string and have fallen! And said neighbours are away for the next week so I’ll have at least a week of blessed silence. Happy happy happy!
While they are away you should take the opportunity to sneak in and fill the pipes with spray foam to permanently silence them.
Maybe a bit obvious. Might just remove the whole thing and give it to the nearest op shop tomorrow. “It blew away overnight, sir, nothing to do with me at all sir”.
This triggers a past experience I had with neighbours and wind chimes. And it was hung on their side patio right next to my bedroom window. Let’s just say I took care of of the issue ✂️
Was it a cheap set or anything particularly wrong with them?
As a wind chime owner myself I want to make sure I’m not annoying my own neighbours
Not a particularly cheap set - thin brass bells with a particularly penetrating chime which is just slightly, ever so slightly, off key. Goes through 2 layers of brick wall, double glazing and some serious intervening vegetation with perfect ease and clarity. If you suffered from tinnitus, they would be an instrument of torture. Possibly justifying a violent home invasion. I have contemplated this solution but lack the guts (but not the equipment).
This is incredible news.
Imagine hating on one of the most soothings sounds a person can experience.
Not if you have perfect pitch and very sensitive hearing. See comment below. Windchimes imo are one of the more selfish pleasures. If you like them, that’s fine - you do you. But please do not share them 24/7/365 with your neighbours who might not be so appreciative of unending aural invasion. At the very least, hang them up when you are going to listen to them, and take them down when you are not.
Nobody sensible minds them occasionally, earmuffs are a thing, its just the 24/7/365 bit that really gets my goat.
Fuck no they’re terrible.
No. Just… No. Wind-chime are fucking awful.
Happy weekend everyone. May the force be with you.

I’m pretty proud of our local train youtubers here in Melbourne. I was able to find a bunch of original content on the train derailment at Clifton Hill. I found videos on the derailment, freight trains coming to take the train apart, and the derailed carriage being lifted off the track by a crane.
And we don’t even have the most comprehensive public transport network. I wonder what the train youtubers in other cities are like?
We went for a train ride down to Reservoir and saw one of the yellow SSR freight trains from the video.
It kind of feels like meeting a local celebrity
I guess I should be sleeping 😆I drifted off earlier but I’m just lazing around now enjoying the quiet. We’ll, except for the sound of thunderstorms or blizzards or whatever Elder Minipeeler has going on in there that he’s sleeping to.
Off to buy a shitload of aerogard from the chemist lol. CW seems reasonable price-wise.
Was reassuring to find this today. Seems like they do the multi DOOOM approach too, so I’m not going completely mad. Their language does appear a bit defeatist though heh. No mention of weed burners :( .
Checkout person will think I have a massive unhealthy phobia of insects.
There’s this absolute waste of an ejaculation that keeps pulling up to the stopped light near my place and revving his fartmobile. One day i’m gonna greet him with a cinderblock
Broom broom! Look At Me! Broom broom! I’m A Big Boy! Shut the fuck up you twat its not gonna make your daddy love you
Absolute waste of an ejaculation
Stealing that
I have gathered 900g of the aero g MIST OF DESPAIR and now we wait patiently in the shadows. Was gonna grab the last can too but felt bad.
Also some prawn gyoza for dins which has been a while.
Commander airoguard:
Good luck sir, teach those damn plants a lesson!!! 🍀
lol. Walking back home with all that walked past a bunch of the stuff on someone’s nature strip and it took every fibre of my being to restrain myself.
No, this is my death mist
🤣🤣🤣
I slept 5 hours in a row!!!
First time in over a year. Feels so weird lol
Currently in the middle of a power outage. I didn’t manage to get the heaters on for long enough to warm up the place.
Hoping the sun can warm the place up a little.
Lucky I charged all my stuff for last week but not knowing this was going to happen has screwed me up.
Oh well washing for tomorrow instead.
Now to get make some food. Thank god I still have a gas stove.
Can you go and hang out somewhere warm for a bit? A shopping centre or library or somewhere?
Or else you could build a blanket fort.
It might be blanket fort day me thinks
oodie was the best thing ever when I lived in the cold house in Carlton. I wore it out!
get an oodie if you can
I forgot I owned one actually. Good idea!
What use is Al if cats still arent bringing me a morning coffee?
They have natural intelligence, not the artificial variety. I mean, why bring coffee when you can get people to bring you food instead …
They have to earn their keep!!
Surely ‘looking beautiful’ is enough work for any cat. Maybe you should take them coffee. You’re the staff.
mine put in hard yards making sure that the couch doesn’t fly away. Misha even heroically throws herself bodily in the way to ensure the sun doesn’t bleach my dining table.
Polishing the floors? Keeping pillows suitably dented?
Woke up because wonky sleep 🥱Warm shower time
Hello I also am on wonky sleep time 😅
nearly finished everything on the todo list 😊
dinner tonight is chicken spinach curry and roti
Yum.
It was.
( and dessert was a few squares of aldi chocolate 😊 )
Since I bought my ipad pro I’ve been leaning towards going back to iOS for a phone
Fuck they’re ridiculously expensive. I would be buying outright this time and yeah, holy fuck I’m not paying almost 2k for a phone.
Phone prices have been getting ridiculous in the last couple of years. I’m almost swinging the other way and I think I’ll get a mid-tier Chinese phone next
You can usually pick up last year’s model for a major discount and it’s often not much different to the current model.
yeah I just wait until my sister upgrades her phone plan and gives me her old one XD.
Last phone I bought was literally a nokia 3310. It’s a phone. I don’t care. I get everyone’s hand me downs.
I bought my iPhone outright but I wait for a deal (ozbargain is a great resource) and I have my phone for 3 - 4 years before I upgrade. I use it all the time. It’s worth the splurge for Apple for me. But I agree with pricing, everytime I upgrade the outright price has gone up a fair bit.
I’ve had my Samsung almost 4 years so I hear you about keeping a phone for a while.
IPhones seem to hold their value a hell of a lot more than Samsung’s do.
I’ll check out ozbargain, thanks for the heads up :)
Puppy dog eyes won out and we went for a walk. It was as cold and windy as expected, but fortunately we managed to avoid being rained on. Miss Meow now has me pinned down on the couch to make sure I don’t try to leave again.
