Please can I go back to my dream I just woke from? I had just bought a bubblegum iced pastry that had 100s and 1000s on it and was in the process of buying a rotisserie goose sandwich.

I've never tried goose.

Goose is the red meat of the poultry world. I like it, and a rotisserie would sorta kinda work. The meat is tougher than chicken, and has a distinctive flavour and texture. Those birds do give off a LOT of fat though and that fat is much nicer than the meat imo. Spuds roasted in goose fat are another dimension of yum. If you get a chance to cook a wild goose, then the coq au vin recipie is a good one that works better than roasting. Domestic goose can be cooked using any duck recipie.

30/50 - missed the bagpipes and the bubble wrap and I didn't ought to have. Too early in the morning and/or not enough coffee. Me bad.

I also should have waited for more coffee. 25/50 I did get the bagpipes right, but not the bubble wrap.

Word on the street is that the fan is staying on tonight lol

Edit: Can't sleep. Too much thinking. Maybe some video games for a distraction.

Time to break out the hot weather jarmies. And strip bed down to sheet and maybe cotton blanket only. And only 2 days ago I needed a hot water bottle. Living in this city sure makes one resilient and adaptable.

Also time to check windy.com obsessively to guess when the cool change will come.
Edit: the cool change has reached Warrnambool.
