Been trying to track down info about this because it really rather threw me - in the Northcote area yesterday, there was a whole bunch of laminated signs on posts up and down All Nations. I glanced at one and it looked like antivaxx propaganda, but no one else online has mentioned it. Anyone know what that was?
During covid there was a bunch of anti-vaxxers active in that area - including a lot of hairdressers for whatever reason. Might be that mob has gotten active again. Don’t know though.
Too early to put up Christmas lights?
Nah put them up. The wee one will love it.
Yes. December 1st is go time.
One of neighbours has had the Christmas tree up for weeks already.
Maybe wait at least till Halloween is over.
i usually do cup day weekend yeah. Suppose I could wait.
It’s a beautiful day if the weather suits to get it done today to be honest.
Temp is going to drop back down to 16-19 the next few days, not sure if it’s raining or not.
100 words cut from my assignment. 200 more to go.
I really hate this bit.
Bubs might have another uti… she’s a bit antsy, I’m sorting a vet appointment and letting her beat the crap out of her toy mouse.
Sending you both my love and good vibes to both feel better soon!
Thanks, hoping she’s okay

You have an internal flock? Is that the sheep we are supposed to be counting to get to sleep? I don’t have one of those, I thought people were talking about imaginary sheep. My insomnia is now explained.
Oops! Meant to be clock but I suppose flock is pretty accurate as well.
Got to get the herd under control.
On other note I’ve been making so many typos lately, it’s been horrible.
I love a good typo.
I work in a job where we are all working simultaneously on a shared computer system, which has no ability to edit once you hit enter. So we see lots of typos, which are an endless source of entertainment.
new distiller came todaaaay! It’s actually FOR water, not ahem like my other one, so a 10 hour job for 4l is now 3. Plus its sexy red. Yes I am stupid adult excited about appliances, deal with it
ahhh fuck just busted my lovely massive 3l canteen . Trying to find a replacement is a fucking nightmare, has the world just abandoned water storage??
The beast in question. Try and find one. I dare you.
lamb shanks were mid. Veggies were nice but the mirepoix based sauce was TERRIBLE. And the lamb was dry so must’ve been too small for the time I cooked it… Ah well. trying my slow cooker mushroom beef thing that you were all sketch on last time. Will see how we go.
Also brought kiddo a decent sized ball, huge hit. He loves it. Forcing him to walk more too so that can only be a good thing. He can absolutely walk, he just decides it aint worth it a lot.
Forcing him to walk more
See it as training for when you chuck him on the lawn mower in a few years and you’re kicking back with a beer in hand saying 'you missed a bit buddy".
Let’s unpack this. Did you put water or stock in there with the shanks? Did you fry the veg first? Did you fry the shanks off?
Ps. I was not sketchy. I was the one saying go for it.
Followed this almost to the letter. https://www.recipetineats.com/slow-cooked-lamb-shanks-in-red-wine-sauce/ But in order of questions asked Stock, Yes and yes. And I know you werent. Everyone else was.
Oh dear. I don’t know what went wrong but in my experience of slowing cooking I have learnt not to over complicate the the liquid because you can always adjust that at the end to balance out flavours.
She says not to use an expensive wine. That’s wrong because chefs/cooks will tell you to use a wine that you enjoy drinking. Using the wrong wine can leave it tasting like vinegar.
I don’t know why the lamb would be dry if you used a slow cooker but if you used the oven then yeah that can happen.
