For the DDT fam:
Pearl Jam! 🖤
This hayfever i assume is kicking my ass today. Head and sinuses blocked up and sneezing all afternoon.
@[email protected] Oh dear. Turns out I don't recommend original soju. Realised I didn't actually drink it, so poured a shot tonight and oh god no. No. It's like 17% and just... punches you in the throat. Definitely stick with the flavoured ones. I now know why the people in kdramas grimace!
😂 don't worry I like the burn. Thanks for the heads up.
i am so full of enthusiasm that I have to stop myself from starting everything at once.
I'll just start one new thing a week and let that become a new norm.
Which pre-minced or -chopped ginger is the least ass? Maybe I should Nutribullet some fresh stuff and freeze it? Just for use in smoothies. Any wisdom?
I use Gourmet Garden but your idea is better.
I second gourmet garden
I feel like I’m leaving it a bit late if I want to sow sugar pumpkins. I just wonder if I should take more physical work on because the initial filling and moving of the pots is gruelling and risks injury…
I just need something to do right now that engages me without urgency and gently keeps me moving.
If I were physically able and it was safe to I would be doing physical work or taking walks/going for runs just to destress.
Hm. I could get a punnet of cherry tomatoes for their seeds but I would have to order the mini pumpkin seeds and I still haven’t worked out what to do around theft prevention. I could ask someone to get it for me and they’re happy to but I hate adding to someone else’s plate.
I’ve decided that if I get stuck I can borrow some of the pvc pipes from the cat enclosure to serve as stakes. Since I haven’t been using it. They’re UV resistant and can still be used after the zucchini are finished fruiting, and if not I can just get more pipes.
I think it's ok to plant late as the seasons seem to be extended now.
Just try it. 🙂
I can plant the cherry tomato seeds but just realised I might not get good results if they’re a hybrid variety
You could still try, might not be perfect but still ok. 👍
I might just buy some cheap seeds
you know what, I would go with the cherry toms, not the packet, I think it would be more fun, or maybe do both
Well, the assignment is done and submitted. It's not very good. Hopefully it is enough to pass.
I really have no interest/enthusiasm for this subject, but it is compulsory in the diploma. I guess I just see how I go half arsing it and if I fail try to kick myself into trying a bit harder next go around.
I think I'll be happy if I hear a few songs from Ten tonight to be honest.
If I hear Black, I am complete!
Thank you everyone for the kindness. I have a big tray of roast veg in the oven so dinner/lunch is sorted and yummy at least. Will be having an early night and hopefully a sleep
Goodnight mate :)
I'm eating After Dinner Mints before dinner like a proper rebel.
It’s after 8 somewhere!
They're my chocolate of the month right now. Bought the Aldi ones because they have the little pillowslips. Coles do not.
I'm on the Aldi ones. So good.
OK so, if anyone knows the song: Something I can never have by Nine Inch Nails, is it a bit over the top for an open mic?
I'm asking as it's a fairly heavy (on the emotional sense) song.
Maybe not the opener. Do something cheerful (or more cheerful) for that. As a second song on a set it'll be fine - shows off your range. Follow with something more upbeat.
Good point! Thanks for the advice :)
I got given some advice by a really experienced performer when I was starting that served me well when I was doing open mics as a storyteller. Take their hand, lure them in, kick their arses and then pat them on the back, was the exact phrase.
That's actually fucking awesome!!!
If I opened with that song, the crowd is drained before the next song.
I've got a list I'm working through, so I'll try to select and structure the songs to that idea.
Hahahahahahahahahaha fuck me, of course I had to be careless and hit a kerb so hard I got a flat tyre on top of everything else... perfect timing...
Luckily roadside assist came very quickly but now I need to get a new tyre within 2 days 😭 anyone have tips on how to find a good tyre shop? I have no frigging idea. Need it done pretty quickly...
Google the ones closest to home. Pick the one that's closest to 5 stars and lots of reviews. Get quotes from 3 of them. Pick one.
Top tier practical and logical advice. Thanks CEO. Found a few good ones close to home/work. Can't do any online bookings til Wed but I've narrowed down three to call tomorrow first thing at 8am and put in a reminder on my phone. Done.
👍
I had to use MyCar for my last flat because they were the only place open between Christmas and New Year, and they were fine. Quick, efficient, friendly.
There's one near me too that's got decent reviews, definitely one of the options I'll call tomorrow
Unless you’ve got a mechanic that you usually go to on a regular basis see if there’s a Bob Jane Tmart near you?
Edit: also if cost isn’t an issue you can also maybe try to get someone out to come see you.
Mobile Tyre shop seems to have good reviews
Haven't found a mechanic for this car yet (used to use my old work's one when I was working there, it's too far). Thanks for the rec. Do you think they'll be able to have a quick squizz at the undercarriage to let me know if there's been any additional damage? I'm planning on a long drive over the holidays...
I’m not sure about the mobile one.
Bob Jane checked all my wheels when I got a flat and did a realignment and whatever is standard.
Could ring them up and see if they’ll be able to check for damage on the undercarriage when they change the tyre over.
