Okkk scored a "wellbeing day" tomorrow (not sick or annual, six per year), so long weekend starts now. Extra bonus it's on my late shift week! Back to normal next week after a good rest. Now beer! 🍻🍻🍻
I used a pink pre-dyed from Spotlight and added all the off chips from the Lego I did last week to blur but not swirl. So it's a dyed white base with dark added. Hope that make sense!
Ah back at FILs for the next couple of days, and then back to Melbourne Sunday night.
Niece was very unhappy we were leaving her place, but we'll see them again before we go home.
Looking forward to picking Mickey up on Monday morning. Then I have an interview at 10-10:30am, and then my job provider appointment at 11:30am. I'm going to be wrecked, but happy 💜
I have to be honest here. None. Not really. I'd rather have cheese in it's unmelted state. And I go through phases where I can't stand any cheese, and other times I can't get enough of it. Phases can last from a few days to a few months. Currently going through an anti-cheese phase. This will change, I just don't know when. And then I'll consume cheese in any form that presents itself. But I prefer non-melted.
PSA. Aldi's Buffalo bites (found in the freezer next to the nuggets) are very tasty. Pair them with a G&T and you now have a gourmet meal. Get on it. 5/5 yum yums.
The Kids' sickness has finally gotten to me. It wasn't fun having it finally hit at 4am but I've called in sick and i think I'll talk to a doctor to get tomorrow off too
Anyone got advice for dealing with oxalis at the base of young lily pily hedge?
People have suggested using a paint brush with poison to just contact the oxalis and other plants should be fine?
Doing housework today. Turning the place from a seedy nightclub into a respectable home before the fuzz gets here. Google Home may have allegedly overhead some unsavoury content.
My local banh mi place has Viet donuts and I've been buying them recently with my usual roll purchase to enjoy with an afternoon cuppa. Why is deep fried dough so tasty?
I'm listening to Spare, the book by Harry whatsisname
he sounds like someone who has joined a cult, who has been told their family is awful and don't love him, who has had his past rewritten to make it nothing but bad up til the moment he met his saviour and he has learned helplessness.
he was also a bit of dick growing up
it's a good warning, don't marry narcissists like meghan
i would really like to know how he thought about himself and his life before he met her
the book sucks except as an example of what not to do, I can only observe the events described , I find it hard to care or get involved
I've never read it but this has always been my thought. Harry has been told his whole life he must wear red socks on Wednesdays. Meghan tells him he's an adult now and he can choose whatever coloured socks he wants. Harry thinks about it and agrees but up until that point every part of his life has been micromanaged by people who "know better" than him.
I haven’t read it. But I agree Megan seems like a narcissist. Of course marrying into the royal family means there will be many occasions where protocol must be followed. That’s the job. To pretend she didn’t know and was shocked is not believable to me. Harry was in love, and had his own long brewing grievances, so made the choice to leave. And that’s fine for him, if that’s what he needed to do. But I feel sorry for the kids, who are growing up with zero contact with their heritage. Parents have thrown a hissy fit, and taken away their kids down with them. I wonder how they will feel about it as adults.
My arms are a bit sore today after all the lugging around of mulch I've been doing. I have managed to get all the tape off the rest of the cardboard boxes so I'm ready to put the next lot of mulch down as soon as I have aquired it. I've also put together the mini-greenhouse I'll be using to start some seedlings in. I put a heavy container of water on the bottom shelf and it hasn't blown away yet, so I think that's a good sign.
I got a small grocery order delivered this morning, I think there were more items substituted than not, but fortunately they are all good substitutions. Now that I have more eggs I'm going to do a batch of breakfast muffins - I even bought some egg rings so I can keep the eggs the right size/shape.
RIP Jane Goodall 🐒🦍🦧
Will be much missed. One of the world's greatest people imo.
I agree.
I received a Jane Goodall diorama as a Lego Gift-With-Purchase.
I recently donated it (including the Jane Goodall minifig) to a Primary School Science teacher for her classroom.
I hope none of the little perishers steal the minifig!
it's gone
If you (or anyone else) haven’t read it, In the Shadow of Man is a fantastic book

Excellent! Make sure you start off the cheers thread tomorrow. 🍻
cool 🍻🍻🍻
spag bog is nearly ready , 🤤
I better put a white shirt on.
I'm glad it's not just my family. Whenever I said to friends spag bog, they would be like do you mean spag bol?
LOL, what is the point of slang if it isn't rude
Or white pants or anything clean.
would a beige jumper do 🙄
Yes.
Oh dear.
nothing eucalyptus wash can't get out, that stuff is magic
be a friend 🤗
Glad to hear it :)
Alrighty. 9am interview with a lady in the US then a 2nd one later in the afternoon.
Wrote my first new song tonight in about 6 months and practiced my new open mic songs as well.
Goodnight all ❤️
that's awesome 😸
goodnight
Happy Spooktober
Walnuts?
Chocolate brains 🧠
I was gonna say, brains or ballbags?
Glad it's brains.
Both are tasty cooked the right way...
Sure
So we're all ready for the chocolate zombie apocalypse. Good to know.

Be honest, how many of your dinner foods are just an excuse for melted cheese?
I have to be honest here. None. Not really. I'd rather have cheese in it's unmelted state. And I go through phases where I can't stand any cheese, and other times I can't get enough of it. Phases can last from a few days to a few months. Currently going through an anti-cheese phase. This will change, I just don't know when. And then I'll consume cheese in any form that presents itself. But I prefer non-melted.
I find cheese majestic just is or total goo. Nothing worse than a halfway sweaty mess.
Second this.
Tonight's meal calls for a generous helping of melted cheese, sometimes I construct what I eat around it including cheese.
If it were possible for me, it would be all of them. But instead of ‘excuse’ I would say ‘celebration’.
I would have an air fryer and a fondue pot
I definitely think what vegetables can I melt cheese on to get my fix so I'm gonna say atleast a 1/4. I'm more of a butter whore though.
none 😔
I used love to lasagna and pizza and fondue and cheesy nachos and cheesy paninis
Poor Seagoon, as pitiful fate!
😭
My brecky egg n cheese sanga sure is. I put the cheese on the egg in the pan.
Called in sick. Eating peanut butter toast in bed before having a hot shower and rolling my back out with the foam roller
I might make a giant tray of scalloped potatoes today.
Its the weather for it.
It's the weather for polo shirts damnit
How ya doing there? Nice and warm?
Perfectly comfortably thank you
Bullshit. That's nice. You keep warm now.I wish this wind would fuck off now.
Ooh yum! Wonder if I’ve got the ingredients here for that..
🤞
I’m going to venture in search of lunch. A little air, before I return to snuggling the wheatbag
be safe
I love my wheatbag
Same.
Rude thing to call Gibson 😾
🤣🤣🤣
Yarrabyte has abandoned us again. Thankyou to those that have been getting the thread started.

You have come to the right place.
There is an expert here.
Bottom be summoned.
Where is bottom racer? They have been quite successful against oxalis lately from what I remember lol
I think he used Aeroguard? Ammirite?
I think so? But I also have wd40 in my mind as well lol
It involves aeroguard but don't quote me on that @[email protected]
Good night, trying to get into early nights
sweet dreams 😘😘😘
Doing housework today. Turning the place from a seedy nightclub into a respectable home before the fuzz gets here. Google Home may have allegedly overhead some unsavoury content.
Night night
Google advanced life photography and read the reviews.
Photographer said to our child "Didn't your mum wash your face this morning?" Child responded with "My mum is dead"
Fark that turned dark.. jeezus
I didn’t see that one. Poor kid.
And that’s why you Google places before you interview.
That was a wild ride omg
Holy hell. How are they even operating?!
Haha I love reading bad service business reviews, and wonder how people do not Google the business before using them.
looking at that broken mug that was a mercy kill
ohoo tapo smart button. Clicky clicky
and time to fill up the garden waste bins 😧 2 bins of weeds, branches and litter a fortnight
so much rubbish in this garden , when will i get to the fun bits of gardening
filled up the bins , pretty worried about redbacks so I wore gloves
Commbank down while trying to pay for groceries. Yay.
slept well but still a little tired
Should I sleep some more? Maybe a little while it's still peaceful.
My local banh mi place has Viet donuts and I've been buying them recently with my usual roll purchase to enjoy with an afternoon cuppa. Why is deep fried dough so tasty?
local hammerbarn had those interlocking decking tiles for $10 a four pack. So I bought all 26.

It honestly seems like the happiest he has ever been was in the army.
I think so too.
There were set rules, no one in his unit was out to get him, he learnt skills, he was treated as his own person, he had a purpose bigger than himself.
I've never read it but this has always been my thought. Harry has been told his whole life he must wear red socks on Wednesdays. Meghan tells him he's an adult now and he can choose whatever coloured socks he wants. Harry thinks about it and agrees but up until that point every part of his life has been micromanaged by people who "know better" than him.
I'd run away too.

I’m extremely sore today and I don’t know why. I can barely move.
Might call in sick
Do it. A self care day and bit of recovery is always beneficial.
Do it.
call in tomorrow as well.
I’ll see how I feel. This whole “why are you like this” muscular experience resolves itself in a day if I do the right things
