Yeah that weather change fucked me up bad. Rest day then dive into action tomorrow i think.
Good night , sweet dreams 😘
Tonight’s beach adventure:
And the hyper bougie dins spread including only the finest of goon in the finest gatorade bottle.
Over all my years doing sunset dins at that beach I’ve never seen anyone else do it. I grew up with dinner expected @ 7pm and everyone watches the news. People got shitty if you spoke. That generation who were brought up with ‘TV dinners’.
I say outside, no TV, space and weather permitting is the superior way.
Al Fresco 🤌
I like me a hot dins indoors except when it’s hot out. Lunch otoh is great outside.
No tv I can definitely agree with.
Nice view.
I grew up with the tv on and sitting where ever you like but in my house we sit at the table with the tv on mute, no phones at the table and we talk. If I had a nice view like you I’d be doing the same.
Should I ever have a family, that’s what I want, too. I can’t stand when I go to lunch with someone and they’re just off playing on their phone half the meal. I’m fond of dinner time chats
While it’s just me, myself and I, I don’t really like eating in silence, so I usually watch YouTube on my phone. Sometimes I eat in front of my computer watching prisoner or whatever other series I’m into at the time. Generally I’d avoid eating in carpeted rooms with anything that isn’t flaky, but unfortunately, this house is about 90% carpet, even the dining room
PSA - Jesus, never empty a smoothie container with LSA into your dishwasher and then run a full load. Three loads later and I’m hand washing and scrubbing every single thing…
You put lysergic acid amide into your smoothies? You must be a hoot
Goodnight everyone ❤️
Night G-Cat
I too felt blah today but I’ve shit, showered and shaved and feel a little more humany now.
I’ve started a thing, I’m avoiding Colesworth as much as possible. I’m interested in exploring new places, and I’ve been fed up with their nonsense for a while. So today took Miniest and went shopping at an independent grocery store a couple of suburbs from here (it’s a big store and worth visiting). Some things were a little more exy but the meat. was. fabulous! The ground beef delicious (we had burritos again for dinner, my kids are obsessed lol) and the steaks were half the price of colesworth and local butcher. There was only a couple of things we use that they didn’t have. I’m happy they didn’t get my money this time, and I’m going to try to do it more in future.
It’s definitely something I miss about my old place, easy access to good independent grocers. I don’t mind paying more for veg when it tastes a lot better and keeps for longer. And it feels great to not support the duopoly and their BS.
I don’t really have a good alternative for household items though. Aldi is a bit far and annoying to get to…
sky pretty
Rainy night in Tokyo so hanging out in the hotel to get some rest, do some washing and just recharge a bit. Twas a very fruitful shopping day in Shibuya though - Square Enix Store, Nintendo and Pokemon Centre and of course a little bit of Mofusand. Letting my inner child run wild this time.
Probably. Supermarkets are filling the gaps with other stuff so looks like they expect low shelf filling for a while
Apparently it’s not possible to buy eggs anymore. Multiple supermarket trips with no stock. I have to go earlier in the day, the fruit / veg shops are better options, at supermarkets they’re gone early in the day. I took my eggy breakfasts and lunches for granted now that it’s a mission to buy eggs.
Thank you for the information. I know a private egg dealer. ‘tis time I talk to her.
Ugh. I thought we were over this :/
I’ve not been to a farmer’s market since start of December but they are usually a good bet for an egg stall or two
I was just compliling a click and collect… not an egg available. We have an egg farm down the road, looks like I’m headed there.
I had no idea. I’ve just had a delivery of 5 dozen from Gippsland Eggs, do I need to increase security?
That seems like a lot of eggs, lots of baking?
Some butcher shops sell eggs too.
Edit: for brevity.
The one I used to go to, Rainbow Meats in Caroline Springs does. Not sure about their other stores. They also sell some lovely pita breads, and are just past a fruit and veg shop that usually has eggs in stock as well. For anyone out those ways
Coffee Doritos at Savemore. I’m avoiding caffeine these days but I’m intrigued at how much of a mistake they might be.
Do it for the team and report back.
If you’re not too good for Domino’s they seem to have an abandoned order 10% discount at the moment. Just set up an order while logged in and then don’t submit it. Seems to be possible to do at least a couple days in advance, too.
An even better tip I learned on here a while back is that if you google “pizza hut” without an adblock, the top result is an ad from dominos offering 40% off. From memory it does only apply to the traditional range, not the value/cheap range, but a deal’s a deal
Now that is a nice tip
I’m actually too good for Dominos but thank you
I managed about three hours sitting up this morning before I headed back to bed and huddled up with the electric blanket on. Miss Meow insisted I get up again to organise dinner, but I don’t think it will be too long before I head back to bed. On a positive note though, even though I’m feverish and not feeling great I’m much better than I was with the covid vacs, so I am grateful for that small mercy.
olive bread buns are made, some tidying done , but it’s just hard to do anything after this heat , it tired me out
I hear you. I’ve only just started feeling better now.
I’m ready for an early evening nap
I think I’ll have dinner, do a short practice and bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
might be time for a 3rd cuppa tea. Feeling HEAPS better since ditching coffee again. Its so insidious! You have one after 2-3 weeks break and you feel alright, so you go again but the build up is gradual. Next minute you feel like your stomach is trying to digest a kitchen grater.
I have to stick to decaf permanently. I gave up the normal stuff years ago thinking it would chill me out and help me sleep… nope. Nothing changed. It just means I can no longer handle caffeine now. (When before it didn’t really affect me.)
I get the tummy thing if I have a dairy milk coffee, even though I don’t usually have issues with dairy milk, which is odd, but I prefer coffee with soy anyway since menopause for some reason. It’s weird for me; I’m one of those people who can have 3, 4, 5 cups of coffee and it doesn’t seem to do a damned thing, but a cup of caffeinated tea will keep me up (and piddling for Australia lol). I love my coffee and, as a former barista, will never give it up, but tea is my real poison. Especially love me a genmai cha. I have a lot of different teas. The tea aisle is my weakness and I have to avoid it, I just want to drink them all. I could talk tea and coffee for hours!
interesting! yeah nah even oat milk coffee ruins me sadly.
