Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Dinner has been made and devoured.
Took some slices of bread, did some Devon and Strasberg, onions, cherry tomato and a fried egg and some tomato sauce.
Wasnβt bad at all, hopefully it donβt feel hungry later but I might too if off with some ice cream depending on how Iβm feeling.
Iβve spent a really lovely afternoon building my model
Just drove back home to the city from Ballarat. The smoke is absolutely disgusting there. Got into my apartment and promptly spewed my guts out. Not sure if it's the smoke or something I had.
Thankyou for warning. Cooking had covered it so far. Doors all taped up now!
Melbourne has got a tinge of smoke too now.
I just cracked open a window in my CBD apartment. The smoke is here now too!
Yep i was driving with it as it slowly got clearer but still a haze through the city. Ballarat itself though suuuuuuuuuucks! It was enough to hurt your eyes.
Presenting the beginnings of the metric polypipe DOME OF DOOM for the chilli patch.
Garden ties and an old bike tube as lashing. I doubt it'll be sturdy enough but we'll see
Think I might wait and think about the netting for the next week and just see if the frame holds up.
This is giving off pyramid vibes. Maybe put razor blades under it to sharpen them up (and discourage the chilli thief).
I get people being pissed off at the profiteering of supermarkets. Hell I've often thought the same especially when I see a bottle of Dove body wash for 17 dollars.
But at the same time shouting into space is only going to get you so far. Colesworth is a publicly listed company doing what those kinds of companies do - try and increase their profits. So unless you make that illegal or perform some other drastic intervention they will keep doing it.
Not enough brain for proper sewing so made twiddles. Very happy with colour match, but the advisability of usage near felines remains to be seen.
They're so pretty. Is that crewel wool?
Mostly DMC cotton floss. Some silk & linen.
It's really nice. You can just see the lovely quality of thread and colours. π
They are begging to be slobbered on and ripped apart.
Logically you are right
wool meeses
Questions for those who use water chestnuts. Is it ok to sample them from a can before they get to the wok? Basically will I die? I may have eaten 1/4 can.
Not unless youβd die from the same can cooked.
Time will tell.
full offense to A Certain Workplace but me kinda drunk operating with a hand full of fruit tingles is a better fucking laptop repairer than their entire dedicated staff.
(going over my loot so far not even a bung part. JFC. Corporations that do this need to be shot.)
I know. It's lucky I didn't reef it across the room.
I'll take a rain check on those gummy worms. I've been very good on the sugar lately.
Edit: whoops I replied to the wrong comment. I knew this would happen some day.
but you did reply to the right person, so still a win.
Shoulder injury headache is kicking my ass. Bed for the rest of the day. It's been a long time since I've had one, I've forgotten how shitty they feel.
Imagining this is akin to bad neck headache. Eye wants to pop out? Sympathy!
There is absolutely no wind out there and you can definitely feel the absence of it.
This weekend has made me moody and I don't want to socialise much. I hate to admit that I'm trying to make food stretch as long as I can so it'll be less of a burden to deal with food next fortnight, let's hope I don't get sick from doing it.
Waiting for my dad to come by who wants to store something, will I be at home today? Yes I will.
Thanks son, I'll come by and put it in your garage, oh by the way, I need your help carrying it into the garage.
Thanks dad, just make it all the more inconvenient and disturb me when I don't want to see anyone and have a headache.
sigh
Something ate a bunch of my chillies :(
Not all of them, only the ripe ones but i'm still upset.
I'll try and put a little cage over them and see if that helps.
Well at least you can rest easy knowing there's a little critter out there with a sore bum and regrets.
Something or someone?
Now I'm suspicious of my neighbour :(
Only because you mention itβs only the ripe ones that have been taken.
Good idea.
