Warehouse manager and I are good friends outside of work, but inside of work it's a tough slough. Our brains just work so differently, it's both infuriating and hilarious trying to understand each other.
This rain is making me so sleepy. I want to curl up under my desk!
There was 6 lamb chops. Theoretically 2 each but they were so good and the kid took too long to get to the table that I declared "there's only one chop each" and wrapped the other one up for the dog and I to share for ron.
AITA?
P.s. Don't worry. She won't starve. I gave her more vegetables and she didn't even mention how delicious the chop was. Only mentioned how good the mushroom was.
save one for me i will write a poem to celebrate it
YTA. making the poor dog share a chop when you have already had your share. Shameful.
Thought as much. I give him a bit of mine and he didn't even chew. He better not blab or he'll get zilch.
Alright I have bought a carrot, quarter head of cabbage, red capsicum and some green beans to cook with the remaining eggplants and new pack of tofu puffs. And braved Glenferrie Rd to get the requisite spice paste earlier. Let the sayur lodeh commence. Even though I will not have lontong to eat with it
E: it only took an hour but it is done. It is not really sayur lodeh but an inspired stew absolutely overstuffed with vegetables. I should've really kept it to cabbage, eggplant, half a carrot, green beans and tofu puffs. But I also threw in leftover bottle gourd, red capsicum, and tempeh. Barely enough space but it all cooked. Half of it is going in the freezer.
yikes
Keys to the old house handed it. Good riddance, hope they knock it down.
Less great it looks like the next door neighbour who helped himself to our garage is going to be an ongoing problem. No, your tradies may not traipse back & forth through my house all day. Grrr.
dat feel when you're batch scripting, have brainfarted on a not quite basic syntax thing but can't look up how to the fuggen thing because search engines are now goddamn agents of satan.
i feel like I'm living ELV
Thunderstorm just rolling over the village, but the house battery is fully charged and I need not fear the inevitable power cut.
air sticky
Where rain? Not a drop here. Feel sticky.
all the way during my 20min walk home
Can someone hang a load of washing out. Ta.
Looks like rain is coming in about an hour.
Still not much rain over here until 4:30pm or so. Went out to the shops to see if I could hasten its arrival but no dice. Rain seems to have dissipated by the time it gets here...
right when im walking
edit: my words are true
pork katsu bento. how bloody good! starting to like the miso soup as well.
I’ve always been a bit meh on miso soup. It’s ok enough, but if it wasn’t there I wouldn’t miss it. Everything else in a bento is delicious.
Just booked flights back to Perth for first time in about 6 years. Family excited. They come over here a lot so I haven't been totally neglectful but yeh haven't been back since pre COVID
This is great news. 😊
Stupid back and the stupid amount of pain it brings. Can barely even get on the foam roller.
pounds desk RAIN. RAIN. RAIN. RAIN
It will pour when I get off the train and walk home
Please accept my apologies for bringing an umbrella to work today. The delay in actual rain is entirely my fault.
1st decent-ish haul, bit late:
Many more on the way (hopefully).
They're so pretty! 😍
Gorgeous colour.
they look great 😊
Happy to get a few this year lol. Last year was a write-off.
