Just dropped a coffee mug whilst doing the dishes. It smashed on the tiles. Was one of the ones I liked. Boo-hoo.

3 hours. Now that the stores are closed, they'll attempt their IT requirements.
Here comes the tsunami
Edit: I feel awful because the strays will be fed 3 hours late but there's nothing I can do :(

I've had the Postman Pat theme tune banging around in my head all afternoon. He seems quite content. A nice cat, a cruisy stable job, friendly people. I envy him

People say that the weather is boring small talk. However, since many kids believe things like rain is teardrop shaped, or heavier things sink and lighter things float, I've been reading quite a bit of physics and earth science stuff, and it's so cool and weird how we have clouds and rain and other weather phenomenona. How does lightning happen? Thunder? Natural disasters?
It's so weird that we exist on a land with these things, and I am dying to learn more. I wish I had studied this stuff earlier. But I guess it's not too late. Excitement ensues.
I love learning when it's for fun and not for grades.
Nature is amazing. Never too late to learn, itβs fun discovering new knowledge!

I have BBQ chicken pizza planned for dinner tonight and I'm really looking forward to it. What does everyone else have on the dinner menu?
Don't have much time for making dinner tonight - I have those fresh chicken kievs from Aldi so going to air fry that with a side of veggies (some broccolini that needs using up) and maybe some chips too.

Korean Chicken Sandos, mmm!
Nothing. I had a curry for lunch and then work bought us pizzas so I had a couple slices. Now I don't need food!

5 hours to go. Urghhhh Apparently I'm going to have a PT issue in the morning that will lead to me sleeping in an extra hour!
How fortuitous!
Every so often, ABC Classic sneaks some absolutely chaotic, almost avant-garde orchestral noise stuff in the middle of the work day and it makes the afternoon slump feel even more torturous and confusing. !@$&-!!!:&($-:($"'((?!??!
Ok, what's everyone's guess on the verdict of the mushroom trial?
Mine is: Not Guilty
I too think she's guilty, or a little bit guilty. She'll get off because of something something imo.
Is it too late for Vera to step in?
I'm watching you pet.
Now we're getting somewhere
Hoping for guilty, realistically think there's a good chance of not guilty. I haven't followed it in detail but it just seems like there's enough room for doubt...
Either way, Erin Patterson is never going to live a normal life ever again after this
Hung jury. All 12 jurors have to agree and come to a unanimous verdict for not guilty or for guilty. So I think it likely that there'll be a hung jury and a re-trial at some later date. Which will be even more of a shit show.
Such a pity the Scottish law verdict of 'not proven' is not available here in Victoria. Which basically means We know you done it but there's no evidence.
I do think the r/deathcapdinner mob (and I chose that word deliberately) need to be reminded of the basic human right of being innocent until proven guilty.
I think sheβs guilty, but sheβll get away with it because reasonable doubt.
So Not guilty?
Yes, a not guilty verdict.
Acquitted =/= Not Guilty
It does in court.
Guilty I think.
Not guilty. I do think she did it but the evidence / case against her isnβt strong enough.
Yeah, I reckon this as well. There's enough room for doubt. But the astounding amount of lies and possible lies is just mental. I have so many questions!
I think she wanted to make them ill but not kill. There's no evidence to say she intended on killing.
r/DeathCapDinner are gonna lose their shit if it doesn't come back guilty. πΏ
I will absolutely cook up some popcorn before venturing on that sub if it comes back not guilty.

They think she's some sort of sociopathic mastermind imbecile and really she's a housewife who made a major boo boo and tried to back peddle her way out of trouble. It's not really that deep.
I'm predicting a hung jury.
Not guilty would mean she'll be in the media for years to come.
Hoping for guilty in that case.
Not guilty means she didn't intend on deliberate deaths.
Having not followed the trial, would not guilty mean she's released?
Yep
Still hoping for guilty. I've formed my opinion and it was deliberate.
