Son has recovered from COVID, only for the wife to be struck down.
No idea how I’m still avoiding it. Superior genes perhaps?
Or more likely my flu+covid shot I got earlier this year.
Some people apparently are just resistant to it. I still haven’t had it, and haven’t had a covid vax for a couple of years now. It’s been floating around at work on a semi-regular basis so I’m pretty sure I would have been exposed quite a few times.
We are strong. Everyone else, very weak.
We shall rule this realm and dance on a mountain of bones!!!
Dancing on a mountain of bones sounds like a bit of a risky manoeuvre. We survive Covid and die after tripping over a badly placed femur, rolling down the side of the mountain and being crushed under an avalanche of skulls.
Perhaps we can crush the bones and use them to create a nice, flat, hard-packed dancefloor instead?
Not a bad idea. Boil down the bones for adhesive to mix with the crushed up bones.
Either way, we’re fuckin dancing
Bummer
The drunk aggressive homeless man is back, was drinking and swearing explosively on the bench outside. I tried to close the door quietly but the fucking thing squeaked and he was looking at my place.
He’s walked away past my place still glancing at the door. For a second I thought he was going to come knocking and was debating whether to tell him to leave or just call the cops. Thankfully he didn’t. But this is just rubbing in all the trauma from all the other derros before him, and is part of the reason I don’t like to go out. This one has also had a go at me before.
I’m trying to be grateful for the things I have and focus on what I can control, but this spot has always been rough and the pandemic made it so much worse.
I’m wondering how to protect the eventual seedlings from slugs and snails. I’m thinking of keeping them inside in paper cups until they’re so big they have to be planted out. I am not dragging large pots inside every night.
The other thought was cut off plastic bottles as ‘hats’ but if I plant in every pot I would need 12… and that’s if I plant 3 in each and thin. I don’t have to plant them all but there are 25 seeds in the packet and due to space I never use them all.
I could donate the extra to a seed library but when would I have the chance.
Moobeans is sleeping beside me. So beautiful.
There’s only 3 things in this world I don’t eat. Cantaloupe, rice pudding and porridge. Now I can add papaya to that list. Ick.
Fair. Cucumber, olives, and coffee for me. Not that coffee’s a food, but people sneak it in.
I eat/drink these things everyday. Thanks for your courage though.
Eggplants are my worst enemy. Makes me throw up.
Olives are next and then hmm anchovies?
You can definitely get bad eggplants.
Doubt it’s a coincidence it happened on 3 seperate occasions even when I didn’t know they were eggplants.
Cantaloupe, rice pudding and bread n butter custard 🙅🏼♀️⛔
Bread n butter pudding is alright. Just make that shit fancy.
good bread, good butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, sultanas soaked in brandy. ( How does that sound? )
Throw some berries in there and make the proper custard and you’ve got yourself a deal.
Balsamic vinegar, pickled herring and giardiniera
Papaya is great, but can be off putting.
Mussels in vinegar are weird. I’ll still eat them but they are chewy little fuckers.
Crunchy peanut butter. Tripe. Oysters. Not too keen on mussels anymore either. Sushi is fine but I don’t really like the soft squish
Edit: Durian. (Haven’t had the fruit but have had durian flavoured crackers.) Also I don’t like cantaloupe
I loooovvvve oysters. Straight up. Down the hatch. No lemon. No pepper and salt.
I’ll take your hand and join you…
None of them register in my brain as food.
endive, ersatz chocolate, tripe
I’ve never had tripe because my mother refused to cook it after growing up with it.
I’ve never knowingly had it either. Who knows what’s in a lot of foods? 😬
👀
sausages aka mystery bags
Sardines, anchovies and sardines.
same
Same but add tuna.
Bullshit. Everybody loves sardines.
Fuck someone downed thumbed you too heh.
It’s a tough crowd in here
😂
I think we can narrow this down.
Gon’ eat me a chiko roll and watch cartoons…
Family movie night. Adventures of Tintin. The quality of the animation is nuts…
agree, awesome movie
ha ha, rain cannot defeat me, I bought big plastic sheets to cover my paint jobs
Good night everyone. Sweet dreams. 😽
Ugh, I hate that feeling when your ears don’t pop after a flight… but I’m glad I got some shut eye even though the person next to me had no concept of personal space. I generally avoid night flights for this reason even though flying during the day “wastes time”. Good night 😴
Drinks with a friend, very lovely to see 💜 consumed some Guzman y Gomez and got a noice whiskey
What whiskey?
I shall judge the niceness.
Hobart Whiskey: Tasmanian Whiskey Liqueur, and Tawny Cask Finish. Also have some of their signature but haven’t cracked that yet
Edit: the signature is “American oak, ex-bourbon matured”
As a whiskey wanker, I approve.
Can’t get back to sleep so I’m looking through products on Amazon. (I got a free 3 month trial of Amazon prime). Given my tastes in tea and my abundant consumption of coffee, I might be looking to get some things from there in the near future. Or not: it’s fun to look anyway.
Good for cheap bulk ingredients.
I’ve avoided Amazon and other retailers online. I have a feeling my whole life would turn into online shopping.
Oh yeah, it looks pretty dangerous ngl
My online shopping addiction started while I was up breastfeeding all night.
I can totally see how that would happen
Decided to take my (SILs) bike on the scenic foreshore front beach path back home from the shops. Usually don’t do that as people (and kids / dogs) are a bit all over the place. Anyway now I have a bell with a unicorn on it which I’m required to use by law. it also has a front basket. I didn’t use the bell but felt empowered (and got laughed at by two young girls). They didn’t have unicorn bells or a front basket so fuck em. I’m gonna get some tassels next.
In more serious news the Pt. Lonny front beach was absolutely smashed by recent swell / weather. Had a chat to a local who was walking past and she’d never seen anything like it either. Must’ve been wild.
Also got about 10 hellos from randoms which was nice.
Now I want a bike with a unicorn bell and a front basket lol
Get some cards to weave in the spokes and really floss on em
heh yess! also maybe:
Do they still make those beads for spokes, so you can go tick tick tick as you ride?
Spokey dokes and yes they do.
Morning
Yes, it is
Just let me wake up a bit and I’ll start the day.
It’ll be a paintin’ kind of day.
Painting would be fun. Weeding means sneezing.
weeding is easy, I do some every time I walk outside
I tried to impose a weed per cigarette tax on Boyo. It didn’t work.
Last night ,for dinner, I put together a meatloaf and chip sandwich. It’s not as amazing as it sounds.
What went wrong friend?
Chips didn’t do much to add to the overall sandwich experience . Might try caramelised onion next time.
Right. Yeah, go the onion next time and mustard or pickles.
Not enough sauce?
Nah plenty of sauce but the chips really didn’t do anything for it.
Chips on the side to dab at the excess sauce?
Waaaaakkkkeeee Uuuuuup Everybody! Time’s a-wasting. Lots to do today. Big shop for bulk household stuff, market for fresh stuff (Preston), laundry, garden & a lunch appointment that I’m not altogether thrilled about. This afternoon I’ll probably dissolve into a puddle and rest.
cracks an eye I just did stuff yesterday
After yesterday’s drama I’m just going to putter and chill.
I have lots to do as well… Lots of NOTHING!
Here here
Have you tidied your room?
NUP AND I AINT GUNNA
At least remove the sneakers from under the bed. Before they get many days dead.
