Just finished the psychometric test for that possible job. Gotta say, not a fan of that kind of stuff.

How can you possibly judge a person based on a ridiculous "test"?

I just read that it has been ten years since that MH370 plane went missing. Honestly, the older I get, the more time blurs.

2nd harvest is in:

Those little ones take faar too long to pick. Dense little shrubs and trying to navigate to the middle with scissors is a PITA. Still don't really know what they are. Probably birdseye but they taste different to the shop ones.

And finally full sized habs (and hot af) unlike last year.

Edit.. ooh looks like they've changed the forecast... ouch.

Hope the organisers of moomba have thought about cooling stations / misting spots.

Help I'm addicted to NYT puzzles. I'm in bed for hours doing crosswords

I'm addicted to SCP stories. I could sit in bed all day and read them. Send help!

I had a brioche bun for breakfast. Mine had avocado, bacon, egg, bocconcini and pickles. An unusual combination but it worked pretty well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Ooh nice. I love hearing about different sandwich combinations.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You had me until the brioche. Where's the pickles though?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ah! See I feel the same way about brioche, until it’s paired with a salty meat and a hot cheese and mustard, then it shines.

Also I have no pickles available at this time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I've tried brioche with contrasting flavours and still can't get into them. Maybe it's time to give it another try.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I love brioche lorraine. It's sweet, has custard swirls and sultanas like a cinnamon bun and is delicious for breakfast

I take it's not fill cream?

I think it works best with Skim/Lite versions.

Good luck!
