i love it when birds give you things. most precious treasures. - I have a very curly dried leaf, a whippersnipper cord and some dead European wasps from some Australian Magpies. - We sheltered a young Magpie girl in our back yard while her parents were being mean to her - and she would pile up beak sized chunks of moss at the back door. Not sure why she thought I liked moss. - A Sulphur Crest Cockatoo gave me a stick with a bird shit and a feather on it he had been carrying around in his beak - handed it to me in his foot. - A Galah also gave me a stick, no poop on it - but they'd been doing this game with it where they rubbed it on the footpath? I guess to feel the vibrations through their head - A crow in a parking lot gave me a piece of wire it bent in to a specific shape. Like I was bending it around to show I was 'playing' with it and enjoyed it - and the crow took it back and bent it again.

Make friends with your local wild birds. They'll give you random junk you can't bear to throw away.

performing lawncare on an overgrown lawn without a whippersnipper is hurting me.

australians say things like "spag bol" and "whippersnipper" and we think it's normal

Questions I have after reading a few fan fics today

1. Do people genuinely not know how to use a wheelbarrow

2. Why do I keep reading about Idaho and potatoes

3. Okay I'm mostly questioning the wheelbarrow, it was described as a farm tool, I genuinely thought every house had a wheelbarrow, lawnmower, whippersnipper (I don't know what this is in American or other english dialects), rake and other tools for the garden. Is a wheel barrow a farm tool

sometimes a family can be a cat and a cute girl that was up all night in pain and didn't sleep until like 6am but then got woken up at 8am by an angry postie bashing the door in and then had a text from the gardener that he'd be over "this morning" and he's the only gardener that responded out of like 7 you contacted this fortnight so you have to stay awake even though the pain is building up and your head is starting to spin a little but the gardener is really important because the real estate agent messaged you about needing to get it done in that tone where they use the space between lines to reminnd you that they have the power to not renew your lease over the grass being too long because you live in a society that has somehow created a system where you have to pay money to physically exist anywhere because you are corporeal and your body takes up space and it literally has to be parked somewhere but someone went and invented the concept of "owning land" and because you can't just float off into space you have to position your body on land somewhere but it's all "owned" by someone you have to pay for it and even if you decide to park your body on "public land" that is ostensibly owned by "the government" or "the crown" that's also "illegal" because of vagrancy laws you're literally not even allowed to be homeless so if you put your body in a physical space that you're not paying money for then government funded gang members with a guns will come kidnap you and put you in a facility where you have no rights and the guards can just get away with raping you because there's no oversight and the lawyers can't prove anything and sure the real estate agent doesn't explicitly say or probably even think about "if you don't mow your lawn we'll make sure you get kidnapped off to get raped" but it's basically always hanging over your head anyway and you just have to act like its not and the lawn only got this long in the first place because you were supposed to have a regular gardener come monthly organised by your disability support coordinator but they havent been in a while even though the invoices keep getting paid and come to think of it she keeps submiting invoices for her own hours and hours of "support coordination" work even though she apparently cant even ind a gardener or even email you back in two months and the whole reason youre in a pain flare anyway is probably because you had to go out there and do a rush job on the lawn in between the climate collapse storms with a whippersnipper because its all youve got but it really took a toll because even though the ottobock griefer they gave you is supposed to be for heavy duty work and the advertising material features a guy doing landscaping the servos in it aren't actually strog enough to support half the weight of a corded electric whippersnipper without disengaging so you had to do the whole thing one handed because thats the number of hands you have left to work with after a decade of every doctor you talk to refusing to explore treatment options or even do some scans to work out whats causing the problem until its far too late and the damage is done and have you ever tried to use a whippersnipper one handed to cut meter tall wet grass while also trying to make sure it doesnt cut its own power cable off or worse your ankles because being a lower limb amp is way worse than upper so the lawn cut was terrible so you really need this gardener to come and finish the job for you because of the whole prison rape outcome of not giving someone already rich money in order to be allowed to park your body somewhere but now its 2pm and i swear to eris if this guy doesnt show up today i might actually fucking lose it but better not tell anyone how bad things actually are and how bad you really feel cos if they decide you are "a risk to yourself" they kidnap you to a special prison that they say is for mental health but they also drug you with sedatives because it makes their job easier and also easier for you to get raped so like i really fucking hope this gardener comes today

but also the cat steals your chair and snores little snores

that can be a family

WhipperSnipper - Flames (Indie Rock)

🕑 Lesedauer: 1 min / 📷 CTTO / WhipperSnipper Offizielles Erscheinungsdatum: 12.27.2023 Mit "Flames" liefert uns  WhipperSnipper  aus Australien einen leicht dunklen und entschleunigten Indierock-Sound, der so einige faszinierende Texturen hervorbringt. Neben der klaren und gefühlvollen Stimme im Fokus bringt der Track originelle Gitarren- und Synthesizerklänge hervor, die den Stil durchaus etwas in Richtung Goth und Dreampop lenken. Außerdem verleiht der atmosphärische Stil dem Ganzen eine markant mystische und surreale Ader. "Flames" könnt ihr direkt bei Spotify streamen und mehr über WhipperSnipper bei Instagram herausfinden.

people in suburbs be using leafblowers 3 brushcuttes 2 whippersnippers and 1 lawnmower just to trim 10 square meters of buffalo grass every single day

[who-the-fuck-is-sennalye]

well there was significantly less whippersnippering involved than there was in the front yard, and I for one am glad.

unfortunately raking is next and I don't have any power tools that can help me with this one.

"Weed Wacker" has an Australian doppleganger. The doppleganger has been mistaken for her so often they've started introducing themself as Whipper-snipper

LINE TRIMMER TO GIVE YOUR LAWN THE PERFECT LOOK

Extensive gardens need lawnmowers, and that is a fact. However, there is no doubt that whether your yard is large or small, you will need to have a grass trimmer to keep it in excellent condition. These are handy for all gardens because a lawn mower alone cannot cut all around tree trunks, walls, fences, and other vertical objects. When it comes to maintaining a lawn neat and tidy, the line trimmer shines as a multi-purpose workhorse. Depending upon the application, one could use it to knock down hard-to-gain access to areas, cut up grass and weeds that a lawnmower cannot quite reach, clear thicker brush, and control outlines for a cleaner-looking yard.

Advantages of a Line Trimmer:

To keep a lawn in its best shape, equipment like a line trimmer, brush trimmer, or grass trimmer is essential. They are easy to use, versatile and durable for a more extended period. The brush cutter has the added advantage of being powerful enough to cut through an overgrown brush that a lawnmower or Electric line trimmer cannot handle. They also cut in areas where large machines are difficult to access. This equipment is made for those who truly appreciate a well-groomed landscape. Benefits include full mobility and higher maximum power. Large line trimmers used for removing thick roadside grass and weeds in large areas are both more substantial and more powerful.

Shop at Shopy store to refine your lawn using a line trimmer:

Shopy Store is known to provide its customers with bestselling products to shop from us again rather than elsewhere. Line trimmer, brush cutter, and grass trimmer are available at our store with an affordable price range. Now, what is stopping you from giving your lawn an extraordinary look? Check out our website for these products.

So, I may have mentioned vaguely that we were doing some gardening this year, and then figured, fuck it, it's my blog, what else is it for if not for showing off. Thus: garden pictures.

(I say garden, but like, it's a rental, 90% of what we're growing is in grow bags. Some of which are IKEA bags with holes cut for drainage, because we're cheap and it works fine.)

Left picture is our sacks of potatoes, because we are just that kind of dykes - the huge one in the middle are pink eye potatoes, which are a local (ish) variety, the ones you can only see a tiny bit on on the far left are purple congo potatoes, and the ones furtherest away from the camera are pink fir apple potatoes (and in the background is the big ass fuckin spanish lavender bush, which is next to the even bigger rosemary bush. The rosemary bush is like. nearing five foot across and at least five and a half tall. It's more a tree than a bush, at this point.)

Right picture is the hilariously over productive coriander with some tongue of fire beans (I think? they're A kind of bean, but we've planted like. three types.) growing beside it, possibly giant of Stuttgart beans in the sack directly behind, and onions in the IKEA sack (the other two sacks are some kind of tomato and I think a basil? yet to germinate much though)

Aaaand our radishes are coming up! they're D'avignon radishes, which are a mild french breakfast radish - pretty quick variety, we only planted stuff like. idk start of september end of august? Interplanted with some carrots whose name I forget atm, which are only just starting to pop out of the ground.

and finally two of the mystery fruit trees! the current consensus is that one is an apricot and the other might be a plum, but given the rental ad was just like '3x stone fruit trees' we're basically waiting to see what happens. (If you recognize these, feel free to be like 'um actually that's a [whatever]'; we genuinely have no fucking idea what these are.)

Not pictured: the baby zucchini (I know, but also, zucchini tasty), the other two kinds of basil, the peas, the thyme, the parsley, the lettuces, and, like so many sacks of baby tomato plants. So many. we have like 14 varieties.
