Ow my arm. Not feeling too much from the vaccines except for the arm pain and a bit of aching. Had a mild headache last night too. Overall very mild but I’m still using it as an excuse to flop about and do nothing all day.
My package didn’t arrive Friday so now I have to wait until monday. It’s torture and unfair. I want my shiny new device darn it. My brain demands TREATS.
Get well soon! Better vacicne aches than catching the actual thing, at least.
Pick one, so I may judge ye
Kingston would be my first pick. Delta Cream / Jaffa Cream last, if I want chocolate biscuits I’ll buy Oreo.
Judgement: Jaffa being last is a hot take, I don’t agree but appreciate the brutal honesty lol
I went a step further and rated them all
Judge away, StudJudge
Judgement: I love this, and I agree with your choice
Yay! I thought for sure I was going to be harshly judged
Kingston are the best. Occasionally a Monte Carlo (a bit too sweet), and the rest can wither away in the biscuit jar.
Monte Carlo.
I’ll fight you for them
I had them fresh off the line at the old Ringwood? factory in the 90s.
That sounds like potential gluttony. I bet they were fantastic warm. I might have to experiment 🤔
Judgement: exciting, my favourite lol
Jaffa cream? That’s new!
Bruh it’s so good!!!
I was a big fan of the orange cream, so yeah I’m 100% keen to try ‘em.
Dunno if I can still have them but Kingston are the best biscuit in there
None of these. Cream fillings are bullshit. Fight me
😱
I don’t like the texture… I just want biscuit. I’m currently digging dark chocolate Digestives.
Shortbread cream
Judgement: Again. Unimaginative and derivative
Lol, they make a nice change, like a palette clenser haha
Respectfully disagree because I can eat far more of the shortbread creams than my next favourite the montes before I feel sick.
Ah of course, one must take into account whether a bikkie can be a session
Monte Carlo every time
Judgement: fuck yeah 🤘
Oh you got the fancy packet. Haha
Look at old mate money bags over here. Save some for the rest of us, RichChud!
Lol I got some birthday money, so I treated myself at Aldi’s 😅
Kingston, and then shortbread cream
Judgement: you start off strong, but finish quite blandly 5/7
Nah shortbread is really quite scrumptious 💜
Monte Carlo and I think there’s one with an orange filling as well?
Judgement: 10/10, great choices
Yep, the delta jaffa cream
After I got the weird Manscaped popup on Domino’s last night, I left them feedback when they asked. I thought this feedback would go to corporate, so I wasn’t particularly nice when I left it. Apparently it went to the store manager. Oof
spoiler
I wasn’t super rude about it, like not abusive or anything like that, but ruder than I ever would be to any of the store people, even if it was their doing (which it isn’t)

Depressing weather. Have the fire going to get the washing dry. Discovered my shower is going mouldy. What is it with grout and silicon that we haven’t mould proofed it yet?
It’s gloriously sunny where I am right now and has been for a while. Woke up at 9am and indulged in some YouTube silliness in bed until 10:45 but pushing out the laundry quick smart now. Dont think everything will finish washing in time but I think some of it can dry over tomorrow as well. I have so much cleaning to do, might as well be when it’s sunny to help lift my mood.
World Rainforest Day
World: from Proto-Germanic *weraldi-, a compound of *wer “man” (Old English wer, still in werewolf; see virile) + *ald “age” (from PIE root *al- (2) “to grow, nourish”).
Rainforest: apparently a loan-translation of German Regenwald, coined by A.F.W. Schimper for his 1898 work "Pflanzengeographie
Day: Old English dæg “period during which the sun is above the horizon,” also “lifetime, definite time of existence,” from Proto-Germanic *dages- “day” (source also of Old Saxon, Middle Dutch, Dutch dag, Old Frisian di, dei, Old High German tag, German Tag, Old Norse dagr, Gothic dags), according to Watkins, from PIE root *agh- “a day.” He adds that the Germanic initial d- is “of obscure origin.” But Boutkan says it is from PIE root *dhegh- “to burn” (see fever). Not considered to be related to Latin dies (which is from PIE root *dyeu- “to shine”).
Australia has unique temperate rainforests in that they have the biome but not the high rainfall. Like in the Dandenongs, Macedons and the Otways.

Movie Review Rewatch. Crimson Peak.
Watch for red flags, love is actions not words.
the darkness is over
the day gets longer😎 the future is so bright I gotta wear shades …
the darkness is over
the day gets longer
the sun is just that much brighter
the sky is becoming ever so lighter
the day gets longer
the darkness is over
Feeling better this morning. But of a late start but that’s ok. Needed the extra sleep.
My cat is so wiggly!
It’s hard to believe that they have any bones at all.
If I tried to sleep like the cat does, I’d end up with backache for the next century.
Just got back from dinner with elder bro and younger sis in Carlton. Its true. If you’ve had a few drinkies, then gone out in the cold, the first drink after really knocks you around.
Don’t tell my kids, but I don’t really want to get up at 7:30 on a Saturday to go and watch them play hockey. I’m tired, it’s cold, wet and I’m not really having fun.
I might be getting my first new computer in 14 years later today, so I have something to look forward to.
an unintended consequence of having a day job is vitamin d deficiency so now i am rotating outside in tshirt and shorts
take vitamins 👍
Just a psa that there are high dose vitamin D tablets that can be taken once a week 👍
marmalade is on the boil, I have a ton of washing to do, have sewing, it will be a busy day
