With the recent community hyper-fixation on bees, I'd like to draw our attention to another issue: the lack of easy to attain quality soy sauce.

I went to KT Mart today, I was looking for two things: a sweet refreshing beverage that I didn't know what it was until I drank it, and some decent soy sauce.

I got my beverage (Milkis), and I went looking for soy sauce. I found a small range of low-quality "cooking" soy sauce, which taste terrible, but for the life of me I couldn't find any decent table soy sauce. There was all other kinds of sauces, terriyaki... kelp broth... dumpling dipping sauce... low sodium soy sauce... BUT WHERE WAS THE ACTUAL SOY SAUCE?!

My last purchase of soy sauce of questionable provenance was a low sodium variety from ALDI. I couldnt use it, it was disgusting, and it's in the bin now.

I'm at a loss. Is this related to climate change?

Found out kidcalhoon2 has a kid in their class called Dante. I asked her if they were even supposed to be there. She'll get the joke in about 20 years maybe.

Edit - I'd just like add, this was off the cuff. I think it's my best dad-joke ever. Kids didn't get it, partner didn't get it, had to message it to an old friend...he got it.

I was made redundant last week, which I'm still coming to terms with. But after wallowing for a week or so, today I went to the zoo and saw the baby elephants. And now I've opened champagne. It's my birthday today, my (quite large) payout's just come through, and I have an interview on Friday. I'm going to be fine.

Ah well my insurance won't cover a nurse on call so I have to look at other options to get my dressing changed. Are there any cheap GPs or other services that could help me with this?! (Somewhere preferably closer to the city / inner SE)

Update: omg the beautiful hospital worker got back to me saying that I can't go without the dressing so the hospital will cover the costs for the first 3 visits 😭 that's so nice of her to do that for me!!

Today's car inspection wasn't the slam dunk I hoped it would be, but still a decent contender... I would like to decide by this evening if I want to pull the pin and get a pre purchase inspection done on it. Annoyingly I still might not be able to get it ready by next week to use for work.

Argh!! This is where my overthinking, paralysis-analysis affected brain really struggles. I need so much time with each decision. Really to be honest, I need to sleep on it tonight, but that's then another day gone... but no I think I'll give myself this much.
