Does anyone know a mechanic they can trust? I just want to find one that's not going to take advantage.

I figure I should have one for down the track.

Ginger beer's on special buy at Coles, 2 x 1.5L Kirk's brand for $3.50. I grabbed a couple and am going to enjoy the sunset from the patio

I've developed a bit of a taste for ginger beer/ale recently. Just goes so nicely with the warm weather. The Bundy ones are my favourite, followed by Schweppes. Keen to try the Kirks

Edit: ive tried it, it's not the best. It's a lot "spicier" tasting than shcweppes ginger ale, and it's been too long since I had a Bundy one to be sure, but I think it tastes spicier than that did too. I'm not really picking up on the ginger though. Plus the lack of a glass bottle makes it a lot less cool

My Nan and Opa brew their own. They would use old coke/lemonade bottles and store them in the bathtub for fermenting.

Many many times have they literally exploded (I was their for one and it's louder than a gunshot)and rained ginger beer all over their bathroom πŸ˜‚ but no commercial brand has ever ever been as good as theirs lol

Was meant to add, Bundaberg is the best commercial brand tho lol

Ooh, I might have to give that a go next year! I've gotten super into mead making tiktoks recently, and ended up purchasing a 1 gallon jug and air lock off Amazon, as well as yeast. Haven't used them yet, but I reckon next year I might give that a go

I've also been interested in making kimchi and Kombucha (even though I don't really like Kombucha) which I think are similar processes. Might need to add ginger beer to the list lol

Oh that was a shite week full of shitefulness but it's DONE. Got some important stuff out the door today and I pre-booked myself a ticket to an art show tonight so I wouldn't just flop. Out I go 🌟

Gonna line up a swim tomorrow too. Have booked a car for chores and am aiming to be inside in time for cricket snooozes

Aw yeah! You smashed it Old Greg! Fantastic work! You deserve this night out AND the swim and all the great things! I'm proud of you for pulling through!

Edit: I know I've said it before but i love your username, always hear Noel Fielding as Old Greg.

Positive COVID test, woop woop. It's times like these I think it would be nice to have a pool.

My sister dropped off some cookies but I cannot taste them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

noo, take care, lots and lots of rest

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Omg noooooo 😭 I hope you feel better soon and it isn't too bad!! I know you know, but remember to drink heaps of water and rest, it can really knock you out and drain your body's resources

Sending you good vibes, my love, and wishing you a swift recovery.

India all out for 150. Nothing makes me laugh more than r/cricket when India are losing.

BTW 150 is a shit score

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

Hopefully our batting is a lot better than that.

After seeing the ODI we better not replicate that.
