Pakige day! My new kitchen sponges are on board for delivery. I’m pretty sure I bought more interesting things too, I just can’t remember what.
Interested in sewing, gardening and preserving, with a strong focus on sustainability.

I got back home with my dental x-ray and decided to take a peek. Discovered an x-ray with more teeth than I actually have, in much better condition. Unfortunately they were unable to swap my teeth to match the x-ray, so I had to drive back and pick up the right x-ray instead. I should probably be annoyed at the waste of time, but I’m too busy being relieved that I discovered the error before my dental appointment tomorrow.
I’m out again, fortunately all traffic lights were operational. I saw one neighbour’s fence has blown over, but it was in pretty poor condition to start with.
A storm-whipped souffle please.
Just had a short walk, not too much damage nearby. A few fallen wheelie bins and a food cupboard blown over. The remaining cupboard had plenty of English muffins, so that was good. When the wind dies down it’s quite nice outside.
I don’t believe in the theories that allow for changes, so if I went back with that intention I failed.

I’ll have a pork bahn mi served at 12:30pm today please.
All of those things end up in a Bill and Ted time travel showdown where they win and revolutionise the world with the power of their music. We will all be excellent and party on.
I’ve been thinking a bit about time travel today, and whilst I think overall travelling in time would be problematic (losing all narative structure to your life, requiring way too many tenses to keep track of and leading to constant jetlag) I think there are some things it could be really useful for.
Most useful would be the ability to transport objects in time - imagine getting home from work, putting a roast in the oven and setting it to start cooking 3 hours ago. Then making up an extra plate of food and transporting it to tomorrow’s lunchtime so you can eat it freshly cooked and still hot. Food storage would also be revolutionised. Instead of trying to keep things fresh you just reach into the past to grab it when it actually was fresh! Leftovers would remain freshly cooked, you could have vine ripened summer tomatoes in the middle of winter and your milk would last however long you needed it to.
If you make a hat big enough it effectively becomes a burka. Which if it is waterproof seems like a very practical option in bad weather. Plus it means you can go out in your pyjamas without anyone knowing. I think it just needs an oodie-style marketing campaign with a catchy name.

An awful lot of “no idea” questions today!
The level above “average” of the community that you need to be to get a medal might be lower, but the base level of difficulty they have to start at is much higher. Just navigating day to day life with a disability is a challenge, and the process of travelling overseas to compete would for many be a huge undertaking.
In a lot of ways the method of separating out a lot of categories is fairer at rewarding effort over genetic endowment. We do this somewhat in other sports, like weightlifting or boxing where we have different weight categories. But you can have the most amazing basketball skills in the world, but if you are 5 ft tall you won’t be competitive. In reality the pool of potential competitors is restricted to the much smaller group who are really tall. So whilst you can say that the pool of “potential competitors” is every able bodied person, the reality is that the pool is only a small number of people who have the approproate genetic endowment to be in the top group. The narrowing of the selection pool is not as visible as in the paralympics and might be seen as “natural selection” rather than externally imposed, but it is still there.
This is becoming like a maths quiz. If Catfish has 4 dinosaurs, Seagoon is given 2 dinosaurs and Duenen steals one dinosaur, how many dinosaurs does Catfish have? Answer: either 1 or 2 dinosaurs, depending on which dinosaur was stolen. This may lead to lots of arguments on Facebook.
I’ll have the bacon special, please.
So we can expect a boiled bacon special today?
My hair seems to reach a natural stopping point at about my waist so I just ignore it entirely, other than tying it into a ponytail during the day. I tried the buzzcut route for a while, which is a little bit less effort each day but more hassle overall having to trim it every few weeks. It would be nice if you could just turn the hair growth setting on and off as required, this constant maintenance option sucks.
It wouldn’t matter what they were, my car in 2003 didn’t have a cd player.
I finally got the last document needed to complete my tax return today 🙂 It is now complete, submitted and I just have to wait for my return 💰
