    Tonight is Phantom Menace. It seems that lots of people don’t like Jar Jar Binks too much, including the characters themselves.

    An early good morning to all. Just want to let you know I really appreciate this place. The banter, support, friendly advice, cute animal pics, all of it. It really is a wholesome corner of the internet. May you all have a superb weekend.

    For the third time a so called friend has scheduled a belated birthday do on my actual birthday. That will be a Regrets, none at all.

    The birds won’t stop kick flipping their water bowl to the ground. At least it’s no longer humans doing it? -_-

    These fucking tree suckers are now coming up in my backyard.

    Yesterday I used the rotary tool to drill holes in the bin but I really don’t know if I have the energy to start raking leaves and putting stuff in there.

    Public Service Announcement for people who use drink bottles with straws in them: you need to get a brush and clean inside the straw regularly. If you use the bottle for liquids that are not water you need to clean them every day. If the bottle has a built in piece that you put inside your mouth you need to clean inside that too.

    I’ve just been cleaning up some stuff from lost property so it can go to the op shop and some of those bottles are really nasty inside, with algae and mould growing inside the straw and mouthpiece.

      So true! I use those little brush thingies that come with reusable straws and then put the straws and the tops through the dishwasher. The bottles have to be hand washed because they’re stainless steel and can’t go through the dishie. I’ve learnt the hard way that some bottles have these overly complex flip out parts and whatnot that are just ridiculous and not worth buying because, while kinda cool and fancy, you just cannot clean every part of every part.

      Also important is to let them dry out thoroughly before the next time you use them. I’ve got a collection of them which I rotate. Be prepared to replace them every few months. Man, the bottles I’ve bought over the last 13 years 💸 It’s like pegs: when you’ve got kids you need 2 or 3 times as many as you think you’ll need!

    Packing continues. Onto the kitchen now. Finishing packing clothes, just leaving enough out for a few days.

    The cats are enjoying the sunny day out on the terrace. 🌞🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

    I just dropped my soup, and my attempt to catch it just meant I threw it against the cupboard door instead of having it go directly on the floor. I called Mr Woof hoping for some assistance, but he just looked at it like “I don’t see how your floor soup is anything to do with me” and walked off.

        It hadn’t even made it into the saucepan yet. I did actually catch the jar it was in so that didn’t even get dropped. It’s just unfortunate I caught it upside down.

    It’s a lovely day to be outside today. I’ve just been out taking some cuttings from my rosemary, hopefully I will have somewhere decent to plant them when I move. I have blue, pink and white flowering varieties. The blue flowering one I originally planted over 20 years and three houses ago, mostly moving in a pot, but now growing in the garden along with a child plant grown from a cutting.

    I’ve also pegged down a bit of thyme into a pot for it to hopefully root so I can take that too, but I only grew it from a seed last year so I’m not too concerned with that one. My mint tends to grow rampant in the garden so I’ll probably grab a few rooted pieces of that to take with me too.
