Watching you live your life is so aspirational. You own a house, you have a healthy relationship with your life partner, you own some very lovely pups, youre into interior design, video games, gardening and you stay on top of your health as best as you can! I look forward to a day when I can say those things about myself. Thanks for showing us some of the simple pleasures in your life, it's so encouraging and relaxing.
Thanks for the lovely coment
It was so lovely to see you again, and to meet Frani :)
❤❤❤
a "dodgy alley way" in AUS being the nicest alley my American eyes have seen lol
lmao XD
This is where I'm at right now. 30 years of excruciating pain, having doctors tell me that's normal and it's not that bad. Went for my yearly a couple weeks ago, told him (again) that my periods are lasting 2-3 months at a time, he decided to do an ultrasound and found my lining was too thick. He did a biopsy which came back inconclusive, so I'm scheduled May 3rd for a hysteroscopy. They're going to put me under and head on in and cut out some larger pieces for testing. I talked with the surgeon who is going to do it last week. I told her how awful everything was, and how I've been begging for a hysterotomy so i could have a normal life for the last three decades. I told her about how my doctors always said no, because "I might want kids some day." And my surgeon said the most beautiful thing I've ever heard someone say: "That's stupid, let's get you set up for that later this year."
Guys, gals, and non-binary pals, get your bets checked. No matter what bits you have, get them checked regularly. And if you know in your heart something isn't right in your body, never stop fighting until you get someone who listens to you.
I also have endo! Excision is an option that can reduce pain if you may want to perserve your ability to have children, or if you'd like to avoid hormone therapy post hysterectomy. I'm so glad you've found a surgeon will do the hysterectomy for you if that's what you choose. This disease is so hard. I'm so proud of you for not giving up! ❤
Wishing you a speedy recovery and the outcome you've been working so hard for! I'm sorry you have been through so much
This happened to me!! I passed out and ended up in the ER from period cramps, eventually got both an ultra sound + a biopsy, but since the thickened uterine lining isn’t cancerous they said just to ignore it 😭😭
@@samasce1550 It's so frustrating, isn't it! I think the biopsy finally got my point across. My OBGYN said it would feel like severe cramps, so I was expecting MY severe cramps, not just the little annoying pinch-y cramps I get the days before my period starts. Telling him that was a pain level of 2 compared to my regular cramps of an 8, I think he finally got some perspective about how bad my cramps are.
Keep fighting! I hope you are heard soon and you can get some relief.
I find it appalingly unethical that the doctor would try to impose their childbearing opinions on a patient, to be honest. If they are morally against performing the operation, it should at least be their duty to recommend a doctor who isn't. Stalling you for 30 years over their own life choices is tantamount to abuse, as it has drastically affected your quality of life. Have you filed a complaint or claim for this behavior? I am so glad you have found an honest professional who actually stands by their Hippocratic oath instead of their narrow world view. Good things are coming ❤
I’ve missed your vlogs so much! This channel has always been a positive space for me. I’m so excited to see Franny in action! Your garden has come such a long way, that’s GOALS! 🥰
Thanks! Happy to hear!
Gonna fangirl a bit over here: OMG, an Oshinsims and Deli interaction 🥹
Frans head tilt is dangerously adorable 😭💕
I'm from the UK and genuinely had a stressful appointment at the hospital recently, and for some reason I was doing an Australian accent in the car to distract myself 😆 I love that we were randomly doing the same thing but in the opposite direction, on opposite sides of the world 😂
Omg that’s so funny! I was doing it to de-stress too 😂 we’re on opposite sides of the world doing each others accent to destress - how funny!
😂❤️
Probably too late, but as a former chef turned interior designer, I REALLY advise to not get touch controlled appliances if you can avoid it. They break very easily and then often require a full unit replacement (rather than a switch or knob or button fixed), are too easy to activate or change settings on without realizing, and can be hard/impossible to set with even very slightly wet/oily/floury/cold hands-- incredibly common when cooking and baking. It is so much better functionally to have tactile feedback and replaceable parts even if you have to give up a little bit of sleekness.
You should definitely pick a bench top with a slight pattern or lines, the straight white countertop in the kitchen makes it very easy to spot any stains, fingerprints or mess and actually makes it look dirty compared to a countertop with some sort of pattern even if it’s mostly plain white.
So happy you’re back and feeling better, and I’m so happy for you that you finally get to renovate a kitchen of your own like you have always dreamt of while playing the sims! ❤❤❤
The touch thing on the appliances seems cool but, in my experience, very frustrating.
If it gets warm and you run warm it will often not register you or if you run cold it also tends not to register you when it's turned off...
Touch screens are the bane of my existence. XD
❤ for the tomatoes you can pick them red or green. If they’re a bit green just pop them on a window sill for a day or two and they’ll ripen up. 🍅 awesome work!
Thanks!
Yaaas Ive been waiting for a garden update♥ Frani is absolutely adorable please do more of the garden updates! Im glad to hear you are managing your endo ♥
Thanks! I will bring more garden stuff!
Love you deli. 💗 I hope you don’t ever think your chill low key vlogs are boring. They are perfectly peaceful and we love listening to them. I’ve missed listening them while I wfh. Looking forward to more! 🥰
I have endometriosis. I've had it for 16 years now. They said my options are birth control or get pregnant. They don't want to do any surgery because "I'm too young" even though I'm almost 30 years old. Growing up I had the worst period cramps to the point I would just bawl my eyes out. Birth control has definitely helped, but I still have constant pain but not as bad as it was.
I have endo also. It doesn't sound like you're getting the appropriate advice on how to manage your pain. I can't give medical advice but if you need resources on where to get good info, or insight into another endo girl's experience, feel free to reach out!
Im sorry to hear about your struggles :( Im glad the birth control has helped
@Delidiary thank you 😊 I hope you're able to manage your symptoms ❤️
I also have endo and agree with @JustBriana. Getting pregnant isn’t good advice if you don’t wish to have a baby right now (or ever). Birth control also doesn’t fix endo, although it can help. Highly recommend you to look for a gynaecologist specialised in endo and, more than that, who’s human and truly concerned about your wellbeing. If you’re in Sydney (Australia), I highly recommend my gynaecologist - Dr Supuni (you can easily find more info about her through a simple Google search as she’s got a very detailed website).
Wishing you all the best, fellow endo warrior! 🩵
That has really been the best part of pregnancy, I do not miss my Endo period 🥺 I wonder how my period will go after this baby comes out though.. (I'm 38 weeks)
Birth control really helped me as well though, I've even had surgery which didn't do much besides diagnose 🥴
As someone who has endo and has been dealing with it for 4 years now - it's not easy to get surgery at all! I have been trying to get a Hysterectomy since I was diagnosed and still waiting. I am waiting on the public system though as I don't have the means to finance it myself.
I’m so sorry to hear that :( I didn’t know surgery is so hard to get into. I can’t imagine having to wait that long when you need it. I hope it can happen soon for you ❤❤
Same for a friend of mine. Wasn’t possible until he happened to transition. 🙃
Endometriosis is something that multiple women in my family deal with, and I have been lucky to not have gotten that diagnosis but my mom is preparing for surgery. I wish the best for you, as I know it can be very hard on your body and your mental health! ❤❤❤
Thank you ❤ I hope your mums surgery goes well 🤗 🩷
thank you for sharing
Thats wondeful news that surgery has worked for you! Awesome to hear
@@Delidiary I hope you find answers, or at least remedies, too ❤️❤️
Franni is such a cutie pie ❤❤❤
The head tilts OMG🥺🥺
She has the cutest tilt!
Would love to see a vlog showing Frannie and Bowser interacting! It would be great to see for new pets of 2 owners 😊
You should definitely try to make a classic swedish rhubarb pie if you have any leftover rhubarb! It's one of the best parts of swedish summer. ❤
Ooh I must look up a recipe! Yum!
Missed the vlogs so much Deli, love to see you back! Hope you’re having a great day 😊
Thank you! You too!
Tomatoes can be picked as soon as they start to change colour as they will continue to ripen on the bench. Also if qfly is also a problem in Melbourne you want to pick them then as otherwise they get struck 😢
I'm so happy you're back!! Love your new LP series, but I've missed this channel! ❤❤❤😊
Thanks! Sorry it took a while to post again. I’m glad to be back :)
@@deligracy No worries and no pressure! ❤ Completely understand that life and health comes first!
I had endometriosis as well. I tried the medications and they didn't work. I decided to try a holistic doctor and do it through diet and supplements. Now I am cured of it and have regular cycles with zero pain. I hope you can consider this option!
Amazing! I've heard a lot of people have success with diet, supplements and exercise. I am trying to get back on that path too!
I remember when you got Bowser and felt like such a proud auntie. So excited for fur baby #2 Frannie!
Sending you all the best energy. Endo diagnosis is not easy and takes so much work. 🤍
Your vods inspire me to work towards living a healthier lifestyle, and to be more comfortable going out alone. Thank you!
That is awesome!
I LOVE chives - my husband is low FODMAP and onions and garlic are both fructans so I use chives as a replacement. But be aware - chives WILL spread.
Watching your vlogs again made me realize how much I liked watching them ☺️
awww
I'm watching this so late, but I just remembered how Doc designed your house and can't stop giggling. FWIW I think that beautiful stone tile would look really great with a ball pit 😉
Thanks for a vlog update! So fun to see your kitchen planning in the process. Also jealous of your garden, everything looked delicious! And of course seeing Frani, she's getting so big! 🥰
I love the gardening content and Frani is just such a little cutie
In the US, strawberry rhubarb pie is a staple in a traditional family. Grandparents love it.
Thank you so much for these vlogs, I love your Australian mundane and seeing life from the other side of the planet. And the pupper! ❤❤❤❤ have a wonderful time with your reno Deli!
Hey deli, the neff oven with the flip handle has the „slide-an-hide“ Feature where the door vanishes into the bottom of the oven. Its pretty neat as the door isn’t in the way when getting things in an out. 😊
Yes! I have the exact same oven and the slide-and-hide door is an absolute gamechanger, can't recommend it enough. That feature obviously works best, when you mount it in a cabinet on working height. If it's not too late for that deision, you can look out for this or any other brand that may have a similar feature in their catalogue. You can also get a replacement rig (where the trays sit on) for the Neff one, where the rigs expand and slide out so you don't have to get your hand into the hot oven all the time to get stuff out.
Yeah i saw this! I think we have decided to go for a wide (90cm) instead of the stacked because I like to roast a lot of veg XD Those hide n slides felt great though!
I have never seen a double oven in my life😂 so cool! Also, the new doggy is absolutely adorable!!!❤❤❤
Homegrown tomatoes put store tomatoes to shame, loved seeing your garden update including your adorable backyard assistant 😊
We want more vlogs!! I love the day to day life of you and James; its oddly comforting and I'm here for it
I remember from previous Sims videos that you were struggling with pain and difficult periods, and I even thought “wonder if Deli has endo”… I have endo myself and have been on IUD (Mirena) for over 3 years, currently waitlisted for surgery, have done physio and tried many things to manage my symptoms which are currently okay but I go through bad flare ups sometimes. Glad to know you are looking after yourself. Thank you for openly talking about this. 😊
Loved seeing youu again, and your house reno updates, and your gardening progress and Frannie is absolutely precious! Just loved it all pretty much!
Yay so glad to hear ❤❤
Frani is just the cutest with her headtilt. We had Rubarb in the garden growing up my dad bought it without asking my mom. She had never used it before and found this lovely recipe for a cake with it. Such a yummy cake. The Rubarb didn't want to leave our garden and kept coming back i bet it's still there.
Happy for a VLOG meeting of Frani! And we love seeing DELIvations!!!
haha DELIVATIONS
13:13 OMG that head tilt!!!! soo cuuuute!
Tomato tips! Tomatoes are ready to pick when you give a gentle tug and they come right off the vine. Or you can pick them early and let them ripen indoors. If you pick green tomatoes, you can wrap them in paper and stow them away, then expose them to sunlight later to ripen, and have fresh tomatoes after the season is over!
And yes, the smell of a tomato plant is one of my absolute favorite smells.😊
Yay! So excited to see a Delidiary! ❤🎉 Hopefully you can get all the answers you need with your health. I’ve had similar issues over the last year and it’s definitely been a long road. Loved seeing Melbourne! Was nice to virtually “visit” with you. Also LOVE Frani! She is so cute 🥰 🐶
Happy to hear you’re managing the pelvic pain / endo, Deli! As an endo sufferer myself, I completely understand how difficult managing that can be but you got this! Thanks for taking us on your kitchen field trip; everything you have picked is beautiful! And last but not least, always love seeing those sweet bebes (well, Bowsey in spirit ❤). What a great garden helper Fran is! 😂
ad 4:40 the "bendy handle": I have this neff oven and would never go back to any different model.
the door slides in like a drawer and it is just impossible to burn yourself with the hot oven door (yeah, I'm a bit clumsy I guess), while putting something in/ taking something out. and it is just so practical, as it gives you so much more space, with the door hidden within the oven, I just love it 😍
Ohhhh your new kitchen is gonna look SO lovely 💕
I hope so! It’ll be plain but fresh :)
Your tomato plants are the best to grow them while stringing them up. This helps the plant not to collaps under the weight of the tomatos. Also when the plant starts to grow you are supposed to pick the new stems of the plants where it starts to get crowded, this way you should focus only on the parts of the plant that grow the fruit. It gives you more and bigger fruits this way. And you can pick them whenever you feel like eating a tomato or when they are red and the skin starts to "give" a little.
If you get some more strawberries for harvest, an American southern staple, and delicious dessert, is strawberry rhubarb pie.
I'm so excited to see the kitchen result 😂❤ I just like to see thing new and fresh.
I think it's pretty obvious Fran's trying to help with the gardening! xD She's adorable, that head tilt
Hi Ms. Fran Fine 👋🏻
Man, I’ve missed your vlogs and updates of your garden ❤
That baby is so adorable. I love the little head tilt.
We have rhubarb with custard and crumble
I also have endometriosis ❤ did surgery for it,on medication for it.Glad you have a specialist 🩷
❤
"We´re kinda given up on this space." I felt that so much.
All the women in my family grow rhubarb as well! My favorite is to make a strawberry rhubarb crisp and have it warm with vanilla ice cream ❤
Yummmm
PUPPY!! 🥰
Also gotta add, here in Sweden rhubarb is very common. Since we live in an apartment we don't have a garden to grow our own, but my mom has a big old rhubarb in the backyard. Every year we get some fresh stems to make a pie or juice or whatever. Love rhubarb ❤
I‘m so glad you uploaded again! I wasn’t feeling well today and your videos are always so relaxing and positive. Thank you for being you!
Fell better soon!
If the Caesarstone color you like is JUST discontinued, that just means they aren't making anymore on their line. They CAN make more on special order, it may come with a fee and will take longer. But if it was recent, ask if they have 2 slabs from similar dialots left. They still have to sell what they have left. If it wasn't recent, then they can make more on special "made to order". Although AU stock may be different from US.
I am so grateful for your content. I am struggling with my mental health and looking to start a journey of trying things to help and you have been such a comfort on my hard days as well as an encouragement to me to take care of myself.
I hope the journey becomes easier for you soon, keep up even the small things that bring happiness
ooh, I can't wait to have the smell of tomato leaves in the garden again! You can pick them anytime after they start turning red (or whatever their ripe color is) - as long as they started to change color, they will continue to ripen after you pick them (to ripen quicker, place in a paper bag in a cool dark place with other ripe fruit).
Im sorry to hear that you are still struggling with pelvic pain. My diagnosis was a long time coming and dealing with the pain was so frustrating. I'm glad have outlets for yourself and you seem very positive and upbeat. Hang in there, babe. Much love! 😘
❤❤
Easy Zucchini flower recipe:
Make a batter (you can find different versions online), dip the flower in it, then pan fry it. Then, while still hot, dip it in sugar on both sides. It's absolutely delicious 😋 😍
I love your vlogs so much. They're truly calming and inspiring. Love all this for you
Love your vlogs, they always remind me of my family in Auatralia and it's so comforting
Fresh rhubarb dipped in a sugar-cinnamon mixture is my favorite dessert in summer 😋🌱
And rhubarb jam is amazing as well, I put it on oatmeal with a bit of cinnamon on top!
YUM
I really like that netting over your garden beds! My tomatoes get decimated every year by little critters and I keep looking for new ways to keep them out
I'm currently waiting for my surgery to (hopefully) confirm the endometriosis diagnosis. In Norway they basically just give you a lot of birth control to try and skip periods hoping to "ease" the symptoms. Didn't help for me at all. I finally got on the waitlist for the surgery. 60 week estimated wait list 😧 Hope it can confirm more and they can treat it. I get prescription pain killers since it's so bad. Good luck to you! I hope they find a good way to treat your symptoms
I love life updates from you! I have been struggling with Endometriosis for 10 years, it's a battle. But I believe in you. You are amazing and cannot wait to see the kitchen when it is finished!
I do not understand your tastes at all as I am a huge colour person (I'm currently painting my living room lime green and a rosy pastel pink!), but I love how excited and happy you sound about everything.
I hope you love it and it makes your heart sing every time you walk into the kitchen. 😊
Franny is adorable! I love how Shape Chow Chow puppies are.
I love my half sized oven even with my family of five, I use it more for sheet pan things like cookies and rolls or sheet pan dinners, while my full sized oven does everything else.
So happy to see a new vlog.
I have recently been diagnosed with Endo and what has worked better than any pain relief meds for me has been heat pads. Also, I have stone in my kitchen and it is a NIGHTMARE to keep clean so if you’re going for it, KEEP IT AWAY FROM THE STOVE TOP 😂 the grease will not come off!
My soon to be 2 year old Choc lab Abigail is watching my Telly when Fran is shown
She is gorgeous. Love that you have a new vlog.
i tried shakshouka recently because of one of your older delidiarys and it was delightful !! I love your content Deli, you and james always make my days better 😁
ahhh the best!!!!
Deli, our Bosch dishwasher is fully integrated. While working, it projects a display on the floor.
Not to confuse you or anything but the big side by side fridge and freezer combo we got was the best purchase my bf and I ever made. We're literally fawning over it a year later still because it's just so awesome to have that much space. I buy meat on sale at the butchers (which is crazy for me cause growing up we always used to by pre packaged stuff cause going to the butchers is more expensive) and I freeze it in batches and thaw what I need and re-buy a couple of months later. I also have tons of vegetables so even when I make an instant Ramen package cause it's late or I'm down or whatever I have frozen carrots, mushrooms, peas, sweet corn, spring onions (I cut and freeze those myself) etc. and I throw in a spoonfull of each and it's just the best thing. I can also freeze stuff like leftover sauce from a roast and use it as a stock base for other dishes (for example when I have a little box of frozen beef sauce I throw it into my cottage pie mince and vegetable mix and it just makes everything come together and it reduces waste). I know this is a lot of rambling about a refrigerator/freezer combo but it's honestly the best :D The fridge is sometimes a bit on the empty side to be fair but sometimes we're glad for the space there too.
I love how real and chill your vlogs are! Also nice to see you feeling so much better 🤍
Yay Deli vlog! Holy moly, you are gonna have so many grape tomatoes. Those plants can give and give and give. You can pick them at first blush and let them ripen on the counter or let them ripen on the vine. I have to pick mine early to keep them from the dang squirrels but you can probably let them vine ripen under the netting. Some say vine ripened taste better but they all taste good to me!
I can't get over the SMELL! They smell amazing!
and taste so good
This was a hard video for me to watch. I was in Melbourne for a working holiday from October last year. I was supposed to be there for a year. I struggle to find a job (got one in Zara in the Chadstone shopping centre but it was only casual) and I struggled to find a place to live. I ended up in a flat that was mouldy. I didn't want to touch anything or cook in the kitchen. I was there for week. I just kept getting ghosted. I've lost count on how many times I was ghosted. I returned to the UK in January. Its hard to talk about. I wish I was still there. It hurts every day I'm not there.
Keep up the good work. I love your videos!
Hello, I don't usually comment but speaking about semi-integrated dishwashers because you can't see anything otherwise - mine is fully integrated but projects the time remaining on the floor, which I find brilliant. it also opens on its own, so the steam isn't trapped and doesn't damage any more delicate pieces. Mine is electrolux. Maybe have a look?
Love rhubarb. My mom used to make strawberry rhubarb marmelade and rhubarb porridge we got with milk on
YUMMMM
I love strawberry rhubarb jam. I live in Texas and it doesn't really thrive where I live, but up in the northern Midwest US in states like Minnesota and Iowa, it grows really well. I grew up going to visit my grandparents every summer up north so we got lots of veggies out of the garden.
I had to have surgery to get diagnosed with endometriosis.also have pcos which is common. Cut the growths out at the same time at surgery. It’s a long road but you’ll be okay x
I recently adopted a kitten and my older cat is also irritated with his high energy and playfulness, so I know that feeling. So happy for you to be adopting a new doggie! Are you planning to have them have puppies?
Hello Frani, nice to meet you. Good to see you again Deli, that garden of yours is just amazing!
That seemed a good size sink - my mum and I run by the rule that you need a sink big enough to be able to wash a baking tray in it. Currently, we have two small round sinks, so big items need to be washed in the laundry. Suuuuch a pain.
And Miss Frani is so cute! What a little bear cub.
Oh thats a great rule to go by! Yes a baking tray will fit I think!
for me as trans ftm its extra awful having that check up as you can imagine. I havnt yet started my transistion , i am still onthe waiting list with tavistock in london. i will purposfully put it off for as long as i can , thats how hard it is for me.
Unfortunatly if i ever got to owen my own home i could never have that flooringyou have in your kitchen as my abusive mopther has it and so every time i see it it just brings back bad memories.
Franny is adorable, omg that head tilt!
Frangipani! ❤ Her cute lil head tilts. 😊
Deli, you’re my all time favorite sims tuber/youtuber. these vlogs are so relaxing and fun to watch. the oven looks so amazing!!
8:58 kinda like a Sims character day in the life 🥰
I found out about my endometriosis when I started trying to get pregnant. After 2 years of trying I went to a doctor who asked for a different bloodwork panel and found out that the pain I’ve had for my entire life during my period was not the norm. 🫠 I was 37. Very late in the game for getting pregnant. I’m 41 now and I understand a couple things about my body and period a lot better. But it should’ve /could’ve been sooner if my previous doctors had thought to investigate my cramps and flow. It’s really good to see younger generations more aware of their bodies and looking into things sooner.
Someone mentioned something about picking counter tops with e little more grains in them and I second that. I renovated our bathroom a couple years ago and went with light colored everything. It looks beautiful right after you clean it. And that’s it. The rest of the time, when life’s happening, you can see *every little piece of dirt* 😂
The garden looks AMAZING. You’ve developed the greenest thumb ever!
For your Capsicums I believe their call bell peppers in Canada, and if so once they turn red when they're ready to be piked. We grow them in our garden and they turn red once the weather turns hot.
So wonderful to see you in a good space again. Love Frani she is too cute for words. Tomatoes can grow like weeds if you give them halve a chance. I have cherry tomatoes which took over my garden 2 years ago. Never had to plant a seed since as they just sprout themselves
Yay! a new VLOG! Always happy to see how you guys work behind the scene and just enjoying everyday life.
Love to see a new blog!!! I was worried about the buttons on that oven too!! I feel that was a good choice, I personally would break one more than likely lol. I am so excited to see the renovation! It’s stressful at times but when it’s done you will be sooooooo happy! I looove Rubarb but I didn’t have it until I was 28 and I am highly allergic as it turns out. I ate almost a whole pie over two days while wondering why I felt like ☠️ 🤣😂🤣
omg!!!! Glad you know now XD
@@Delidiary yeah I mean it is good to know but also not, because rhubarb is delicious 😂
Ironically, I came across the show The Block and been binging it all week! I took a break to hop on UA-cam and well…this vlog hasn’t been too far off 😂
I love your vlogs. they are just so cozy.
great job on getting everything done!! I saw that there was a lot of walking too.
And Frani's coat color is amazingg!! She does seem like the more mischievious dog than Bowser. 😅
