I'd like to take the time to thank @briongloid@aussie.zone for their hard work at keeping this ship afloat last year and all the people who stepped in at the last minute when YarraByte had something better to do. โค๏ธ

Happy New Year ๐ฅณ๐๐๐
I completely missed the whole midnight countdown thing, I thought it was still much earlier. Oops.
The guinea pigs now associate me with food. I walk in and they start talking to me. I talk back. We have a little conversation. They tell me how disappointed they are when I don't have food. I tell them it's not my problem, speak to mummy pig.
I fell asleep and woke up next year. Happy new year!
Forgot to drug the cat but she coped just fine
Happy new year and happy quarter century, DT peoples!!!
The cat is not amused, but calmed down pretty quickly
I watched the 9:30 ones at Footscray park, and was planning on heading into the city but I was surprisingly tired so just went home
Got some nice photos (in my sole opinion), though!


The only thing I don't like about watching the fireworks on the telly is that they're always like 2 minutes behind what I'm hearing. But I forgot to wash the one nice jacket I own, and evidently the weatherman forgot that it was hot yesterday
P.S as a bonus, I can see my real Spotify wrapped through lastfm now, without a large chunk of listens after like October when they stop counting being missing
spoiler
I wish you all the very best for the new year!

My apartment faces north, but my buildings hallway has windows that face south so epic view of the city for the fireworks last night.
Partner and I watched from there, with two sets of neighbours who had the same idea. One set was having a party and gave partner and I some poppers, and the other set had a smaller party and kept their apartment door open blasting rave choons.
Perfect night.
Not to be too much like "2026 is gonna be my year" but I have a job I like and am good at, probably won't move house this year,and I've had new ways to get to and from work open up both in the car and bike.
It's nice to feel like i can actually plan things and do something long term because everything else in my life is sorted
Happy new year!! May 2026 bring you good things. I managed to stay awake until midnight and watched the Sydney fireworks on tv. They were spectacular as usual.
Happy New Year peoples. Hope it's better than the last for all.
Also, kidcalhoon2 "I'm starving, I haven't eaten all year"....badum tisk
Happy new year โฅ๏ธ
Edit: Fell asleep at 11pm, woke up to fireworks sounds, fell back to sleep.
Yay getting older lol
The order: Regret -> hydralyte -> more regret + coffee -> try not to fall off a ladder -> get into a banal argument about how to clean light shades -> win / lose argument -> clean light shades -> try not to fall off ladder putting the things back on -> chase the increasingly brazen mudlark away.
The order - Opens the gates for YL so she can go earn some cash dog sitting and not take my house keys - sad face - waves goodbye - locks gates - runs back inside - jumps on man sitting on couch - dry humps surprised man yelling "Happy New Year mother fucker" - prevents dog from joining in.
The order - wake up too early - sinus blowout - hate everyone and everything because i was very well behaved last night you utter shit - loathe husband who was not well behaved and is not suffering any ill effects - hot shower - nasal rinse - wheat bag- ghosts marathon - eat ham with cat

Fairly organised local fireworks setup. Not that hard to clean it up though, come on ...
I think the fireworks on the oval here last night scared the shit out of the strays.
Suuuuuper jumpy today.
fireworks from the beach, sorry about the movement, it was really windy down there, and cold too
The fireworks were pretty as always, this year there were some rainbow bursts, spectacular . It took 30 seconds for the sound to reach us 11 kms across the bay. No bang, just a rumble. Where I used to live in Carlton it was maybe a second or two and explosive
Last panettone until next Christmas ๐ฅ The Young Seagoons have this for brekkie ๐

Best ice cream sundae ever please.
I'll have the second best ice cream sundae ever please.
Hope everyone has had an excellent day! I was a bit ill this morning (probably just hungover), but managed a walk this afternoon and some time outside painting.
Anyone know what the long white line in the sky is?

Best photo I could get, but its a long straight white line, very narrow. I dont think I'm having a stroke, my partner can also see it.
starlink?
a laser light from a night club perhaps?
Good night everyone.
Sweet dreams, hopefully the first of many in a sweet new year ๐๐๐
