Good start to the day, Marketplace buyer showed up & was very friendly. I have a couple more that will hopefully show up today too - I'll have to convert all my cash to proper digital money soon! π° π° π°
I'm really hoping some more cupboards sell soon, I'd like to be able to use my carport again. If any are remaining after this weekend I think I'll put them up free on the Buy Nothing group.
Left over beef ragu pasta for lunch and I am so excited. Hurry up, 1:30pm.
Also wondering at what point I'll snap and stop making sensible decisions and run away to Europe for a month.
Kiwifruit chilli chutney has been bottled. Tastes pretty good. Flavours along the line of a sweet chilli sauce, just a bit chunkier (and greener!)
For some dumb reason I clicked on a spider IG. Now my IG is full of spider-related content.
Like BIG spidersβ¦
What's everyone's favourite dessert?
If it's cake I'd say chocolate for me or black forest as long as it doesn't have cheese in it.
I also like making a bowl of jelly with fruits in it.
Tiramisu hands downnnnn
good vanilla ice cream with raspberry coulis
chocolate mousse
black forest cake with brandied cherries
chocolate mousse or eton mess probably.
Creme brulee
ffs I have been banned for 3 days from one of the fossil reddits ..lol. Some nonce posts a picture of a blue rock he got from Blue Rock Beach and asks if it's a fossil.
It's a blue rock.
more reddit adventures
antivaxxer is harassing me
and horribly cruel mocking political post against a poor white woman , for her looks and race, is allowed to stand
Tv Review. Poker Face on Stan. This is like Colombo. A crime is shown to the audience and the main character, Charlie , manages to figure it out using her ability to detect lies and inconsistencies and find clues. Unlike Colombo it's original, Colombo was a copy of Les Diaboliques.
I like these shows, half the genius is developing all the situations where the main character is put in the situation of catching the bad guy/solving the crime.
This series has a lot of potential.
3.5 hobbits. Next series there may be less violence and less drinking on camera and then it will get broader appeal and 4 hobbits
Clients asking me if I can do their work for cheaper. No! I give you a fair price right up, this isn't a negotiation. Yet I feel the need to say, yes of course I can do it cheaper. Then I come across as a pushover and the next time I do work for them, they'll ask for cheaper again.
It's literally raining here and it's not on the radar. π«₯
It is now raining harder.
I ended up with more kiwi fruit this week, so I am going to try a small batch of kiwifruit chilli chutney.
Edit: Chutney is currently cooking. I had a preliminary taste and it is hot.
Itβs going to be a blood agreement sandwich kinda day
Someone might take the big couch off me today. Please turn up this evening for the love of God. It would be such a relief.
anyone else also turn the heater on out of sheer stubbornness rather than change out of shorts? I'm blaming the weather for being a tease. it got me in the mood and now its changed its mind? Too bad, I am wearing the shorts and I am going to enjoy it.
I put a book in my satchel, today I start reading on PT π
Waking up to the sound of rain, the rubbish truck and birds chirping.
What could be more Australian?
Oh and a fender bender at the top of my court. No one hurt but definitely both drivers were at fault.
And got the 3s all this morning. Added to the 3am fright:
Can we just not today. π
