Good night everyone, love you all, sweet dreams 😘
Good sirs, if you are going to have the balls to charge 25 dollars for a Calabrese salad then, for the love of god, the tomatoes better not be CRUNCHY. And the cheap arse everyday toms from the supermarket. 😡 It’s only three ingredients FFS.
This is what I get for thinking I am going to have a little early treat because I have been disciplined this year so far. Back to home cooked.
I didn’t know that Baci chocolates come with a quote inside. This one I had was this: “Love life more than its logic, for only then will you grasp its meaning”
The view from client office
I went to St Patrick’s in November, visiting from Adelaide. An amazing building, very beautiful interior
That’s a view and a half.
Weird story. Went to St. patricks cathedral with an ex and her aunt (who was a devout catholic). She was bangin’ on about how god was everywhere ‘like the internet’. ‘In walls, in the air’. A few hours earlier she asked me to set up her wifi / chuck in the router password on her phone to use ex’s internet at ex’s home… so I asked her if god forgets his password too.
Didn’t go down too well.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Absolute gold!
Are they hiring
If they were id be working here lol
Arrrgh, adaway via VPN is not blocking in-app ads and I am SEETHING - it’s like getting STDs on your phone, these disgusting full screen sound on ads are absolute cancer after decades of blocking ads successfully.
Will need to hope and pray the DNS blocklist method works again later this week
phone up and running. Oppo A18. Pretty painless. Not bad for $180.
First piccy:
Nothing to write home about but it works.
do they still have that god awful over the top UI with all the colours? or have they finally toned that down a bit?
It seems pretty toned down. I was expecting far worse heh. Keeps on automatically installing shit though. Deleted candy crush 4 times now lol :(
The garden looks like it’s starting to settle in. 🌞
I think it’ll be ok :) a few losses but most seem to be making it out alive.
I adore that sundial
finally got to a ripe strawberry before whatever is eating them (despite being net’ed I might ad). God it was good! Only 1, and not massive but it was so sweet and flavorful how do you ever go back to store brought ones after that?!
You don’t. Homegrown strawbs have spoiled me for life. As has homegrown asparagus, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers and green beans. And quite a lot of other veg that I haven’t grown for a while now. But home strawbs a pretty damn special.
Omg! Just realised I will be able to put asparagus in the new garden. 💚
Yass! Nothing compares. I would suggest planting in pretty much pure compost in a barrel or similar. Once it starts to yield though be prepared for asparagus for breakfast lunch and dinner for a few weeks. But so so good.
I shall pickle it! Haven’t been able to find the supermarket one I like for ages. I have several Hex beds. Once I get the sunlight pattern figured out this is happening.
Now I really want to grow asparagus.
man dont talk to me about tomatoes at the moment. tomatoes are probably the biggest stress point in my life right now. Got a decent amount but still very very green and the plants are clearly in distress.
It is Wednesday my dudes
🐸
FINALLY!
My car is back from the mechanics who was doing the roadworthy check.
It’s officially legal to drive lol
what did it need in the end?
New windscreen and an engine bracket needed to be changed.
New windscreen is always nice anyway. It’s like new sunnies for your car.
Everyday, I wake up and I feel like I haven’t really woken up until night time. So I go the whole day metaphorically staring into space.
Maybe I need to start taking iron tablets again.
You can get the 100 pack of Maltofer for ≈$53.90 by price matching at Chemist Warehouse at the moment. There’s also a new catalogue starting tomorrow and it might be on special, usually they take it down to $55.
Thank you!!
Bring a box to the CW counter and request a price match for this, should get you the lower price.
Cheers :)
Friend: You should get married someday. You seem like the type.
Me: Why?
Friend: So you can give us red pockets. 🧧Married people are supposed to give them out.
Just now:
Can confirm, have received these at Chinese(ish) weddings.
The time I was Best Man at such a wedding, I probably broke even - which is saying something as I spent a fair bit on that wedding (good friends).[Chinese(ish) because not all the couples were actually Chinese. The Best Man one was Malaysian; another wedding was Singaporean]
hmm hopefully your friend was only joking.
She was hehehe
ah hehe.
You could be asking the same of her then.
Okay I’m going to officeworks. What pens do you want?
Is there any other choice?
A bottle of purple Windsor & Newton please
Lamy green fountain pen ink?
I always wanted Derwents in a big wooden box!
Faber Castell all the way for me.
Have recently discovered Pilot Juice pens and I looooove them!
Erasable ink pens?
Pastel highlighter and colour pencils please
The erasable pens please. Make sure the eraser is on both ends please.
One of those old pens where you can pick from like a bajillion colours
Edit: this one will do for now
That is an excellent haul 👌🏻
I made the mistake of looking at the forecast for next week 🥵
Holy crap, that’s awful.
Eeep.
Well there goes the weekend. Aircon and sleep it is.
Oh that is properly ugly. Fingers crossed some of it gets revised down.
Not liking the heat wave that’s coming. I think I planted all my stuff way too late
I’m worried so many plants are going to get burnt leaves
maybe I can cover them with an old sheet when the sun is directly on them
Yeah, or maybe some shade cloth?
There are shade cloth triangles you can stretch over an area tying at the corners but you need something to tie it to like a fence. If you don’t you can make a temporary box frame of pipes and drape a sheet over.
I have a cat enclosure I could use for the purpose but it’s too small to use with how I spaced the pumpkins out in the ground. And the tomatoes with their stakes are too tall.
If I could have prepared better and had more money I would have had some kind of plan. I don’t really have the time or energy to sort it out beyond pulling the smaller pots in and giving the bigger/in ground plants water -_-
Loooong day. Just got home & showered. I drove home and don’t feel like I was concentrating at all. You know when you drive on familiar roads and wonder how on earth you got home? I’m that level of exhausted.
I’m having a sleep in tomorrow.
