Waaaaakkkkeeee Uuuuuup Everybody! Time’s a-wasting. Lots to do today. Big shop for bulk household stuff, market for fresh stuff (Preston), laundry, garden & a lunch appointment that I’m not altogether thrilled about. This afternoon I’ll probably dissolve into a puddle and rest.
cracks an eye I just did stuff yesterday
I have lots to do as well… Lots of NOTHING!
Here here
Have you tidied your room?
NUP AND I AINT GUNNA
At least remove the sneakers from under the bed. Before they get many days dead.
After yesterday’s drama I’m just going to putter and chill.
I’m wondering how to protect the eventual seedlings from slugs and snails. I’m thinking of keeping them inside in paper cups until they’re so big they have to be planted out. I am not dragging large pots inside every night.
The other thought was cut off plastic bottles as ‘hats’ but if I plant in every pot I would need 12… and that’s if I plant 3 in each and thin. I don’t have to plant them all but there are 25 seeds in the packet and due to space I never use them all.
I could donate the extra to a seed library but when would I have the chance.
Moobeans is sleeping beside me. So beautiful.
Gah. Lost the prelims :(
Going to bury my sorrow in something now.
It was a valiant effort at least. Great game
Commiserations 🍷
half the refinish paint/stain is on the old sewing machine cabinet, the original finish was so badly damaged tho, might need a second coat
and might get a wire brush to clean up the cast iron frame and some blacking to spruce it up a bit. Then I might tackle some of the rust on the machine fittings
Was gonna go to CERES community garden today, but the weather is dodgy so no guarantee the market will be on.
My oodie has been donned, and escape room game has been loaded 😙👌
Ooh what game?
The House of Da Vinci on the play store. It’s an interactive puzzle, really pretty! And puzzling! I have discovered I may think too laterally, or not laterally enough 😂
Drinks with a friend, very lovely to see 💜 consumed some Guzman y Gomez and got a noice whiskey
What whiskey?
I shall judge the niceness.
Hobart Whiskey: Tasmanian Whiskey Liqueur, and Tawny Cask Finish. Also have some of their signature but haven’t cracked that yet
Edit: the signature is “American oak, ex-bourbon matured”
As a whiskey wanker, I approve.
I left the ramen restaurant hungry. You’d think $25 would get you a decent sized ramen but no. Two tiny pieces of pork belly. And the broth was like chicken soup.
Which place?
Name and shame! 🔱
Shop Ramen. Been on my list to try for a while but it was very average and expensive.
Thank you!!
Unsatisfying ramen is a shame
Bummer
The drunk aggressive homeless man is back, was drinking and swearing explosively on the bench outside. I tried to close the door quietly but the fucking thing squeaked and he was looking at my place.
He’s walked away past my place still glancing at the door. For a second I thought he was going to come knocking and was debating whether to tell him to leave or just call the cops. Thankfully he didn’t. But this is just rubbing in all the trauma from all the other derros before him, and is part of the reason I don’t like to go out. This one has also had a go at me before.
I’m trying to be grateful for the things I have and focus on what I can control, but this spot has always been rough and the pandemic made it so much worse.
Family movie night. Adventures of Tintin. The quality of the animation is nuts…
agree, awesome movie
Good night everyone. Sweet dreams. 😽
Ugh, I hate that feeling when your ears don’t pop after a flight… but I’m glad I got some shut eye even though the person next to me had no concept of personal space. I generally avoid night flights for this reason even though flying during the day “wastes time”. Good night 😴
Can’t get back to sleep so I’m looking through products on Amazon. (I got a free 3 month trial of Amazon prime). Given my tastes in tea and my abundant consumption of coffee, I might be looking to get some things from there in the near future. Or not: it’s fun to look anyway.
Good for cheap bulk ingredients.
My online shopping addiction started while I was up breastfeeding all night.
I can totally see how that would happen
I’ve avoided Amazon and other retailers online. I have a feeling my whole life would turn into online shopping.
Oh yeah, it looks pretty dangerous ngl
Morning
Yes, it is
Just let me wake up a bit and I’ll start the day.
It’ll be a paintin’ kind of day.
Painting would be fun. Weeding means sneezing.
weeding is easy, I do some every time I walk outside
I tried to impose a weed per cigarette tax on Boyo. It didn’t work.
There’s only 3 things in this world I don’t eat. Cantaloupe, rice pudding and porridge. Now I can add papaya to that list. Ick.
Sardines, anchovies and sardines.
same
Same but add tuna.
Bullshit. Everybody loves sardines.
Fuck someone downed thumbed you too heh.
It’s a tough crowd in here
😂
I think we can narrow this down.
I’ll take your hand and join you…
None of them register in my brain as food.
Cantaloupe, rice pudding and bread n butter custard 🙅🏼♀️⛔
Bread n butter pudding is alright. Just make that shit fancy.
good bread, good butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, sultanas soaked in brandy. ( How does that sound? )
Throw some berries in there and make the proper custard and you’ve got yourself a deal.
Fair. Cucumber, olives, and coffee for me. Not that coffee’s a food, but people sneak it in.
I eat/drink these things everyday. Thanks for your courage though.
Eggplants are my worst enemy. Makes me throw up.
Olives are next and then hmm anchovies?
You can definitely get bad eggplants.
Doubt it’s a coincidence it happened on 3 seperate occasions even when I didn’t know they were eggplants.
endive, ersatz chocolate, tripe
I’ve never had tripe because my mother refused to cook it after growing up with it.
I’ve never knowingly had it either. Who knows what’s in a lot of foods? 😬
👀
sausages aka mystery bags
Crunchy peanut butter. Tripe. Oysters. Not too keen on mussels anymore either. Sushi is fine but I don’t really like the soft squish
Edit: Durian. (Haven’t had the fruit but have had durian flavoured crackers.) Also I don’t like cantaloupe
I loooovvvve oysters. Straight up. Down the hatch. No lemon. No pepper and salt.
Balsamic vinegar, pickled herring and giardiniera
Papaya is great, but can be off putting.
Mussels in vinegar are weird. I’ll still eat them but they are chewy little fuckers.
Last night ,for dinner, I put together a meatloaf and chip sandwich. It’s not as amazing as it sounds.
Not enough sauce?
Nah plenty of sauce but the chips really didn’t do anything for it.
Chips on the side to dab at the excess sauce?
What went wrong friend?
Chips didn’t do much to add to the overall sandwich experience . Might try caramelised onion next time.
Right. Yeah, go the onion next time and mustard or pickles.
