Okkk scored a "wellbeing day" tomorrow (not sick or annual, six per year), so long weekend starts now. Extra bonus it's on my late shift week! Back to normal next week after a good rest. Now beer! 🍻🍻🍻
I have to be honest here. None. Not really. I'd rather have cheese in it's unmelted state. And I go through phases where I can't stand any cheese, and other times I can't get enough of it. Phases can last from a few days to a few months. Currently going through an anti-cheese phase. This will change, I just don't know when. And then I'll consume cheese in any form that presents itself. But I prefer non-melted.
Ah back at FILs for the next couple of days, and then back to Melbourne Sunday night.
Niece was very unhappy we were leaving her place, but we'll see them again before we go home.
Looking forward to picking Mickey up on Monday morning. Then I have an interview at 10-10:30am, and then my job provider appointment at 11:30am. I'm going to be wrecked, but happy 💜
I used a pink pre-dyed from Spotlight and added all the off chips from the Lego I did last week to blur but not swirl. So it's a dyed white base with dark added. Hope that make sense!
Anyone got advice for dealing with oxalis at the base of young lily pily hedge?
People have suggested using a paint brush with poison to just contact the oxalis and other plants should be fine?
PSA. Aldi's Buffalo bites (found in the freezer next to the nuggets) are very tasty. Pair them with a G&T and you now have a gourmet meal. Get on it. 5/5 yum yums.
The Kids' sickness has finally gotten to me. It wasn't fun having it finally hit at 4am but I've called in sick and i think I'll talk to a doctor to get tomorrow off too
Doing housework today. Turning the place from a seedy nightclub into a respectable home before the fuzz gets here. Google Home may have allegedly overhead some unsavoury content.
I'm listening to Spare, the book by Harry whatsisname
he sounds like someone who has joined a cult, who has been told their family is awful and don't love him, who has had his past rewritten to make it nothing but bad up til the moment he met his saviour and he has learned helplessness.
he was also a bit of dick growing up
it's a good warning, don't marry narcissists like meghan
i would really like to know how he thought about himself and his life before he met her
the book sucks except as an example of what not to do, I can only observe the events described , I find it hard to care or get involved
I've never read it but this has always been my thought. Harry has been told his whole life he must wear red socks on Wednesdays. Meghan tells him he's an adult now and he can choose whatever coloured socks he wants. Harry thinks about it and agrees but up until that point every part of his life has been micromanaged by people who "know better" than him.
I haven’t read it. But I agree Megan seems like a narcissist. Of course marrying into the royal family means there will be many occasions where protocol must be followed. That’s the job. To pretend she didn’t know and was shocked is not believable to me. Harry was in love, and had his own long brewing grievances, so made the choice to leave. And that’s fine for him, if that’s what he needed to do. But I feel sorry for the kids, who are growing up with zero contact with their heritage. Parents have thrown a hissy fit, and taken away their kids down with them. I wonder how they will feel about it as adults.
My arms are a bit sore today after all the lugging around of mulch I've been doing. I have managed to get all the tape off the rest of the cardboard boxes so I'm ready to put the next lot of mulch down as soon as I have aquired it. I've also put together the mini-greenhouse I'll be using to start some seedlings in. I put a heavy container of water on the bottom shelf and it hasn't blown away yet, so I think that's a good sign.
I got a small grocery order delivered this morning, I think there were more items substituted than not, but fortunately they are all good substitutions. Now that I have more eggs I'm going to do a batch of breakfast muffins - I even bought some egg rings so I can keep the eggs the right size/shape.
My local banh mi place has Viet donuts and I've been buying them recently with my usual roll purchase to enjoy with an afternoon cuppa. Why is deep fried dough so tasty?

I received a Jane Goodall diorama as a Lego Gift-With-Purchase.
I recently donated it (including the Jane Goodall minifig) to a Primary School Science teacher for her classroom.
I hope none of the little perishers steal the minifig!

Be honest, how many of your dinner foods are just an excuse for melted cheese?
tone212_@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 349d
Tonight's meal calls for a generous helping of melted cheese, sometimes I construct what I eat around it including cheese.

If it were possible for me, it would be all of them. But instead of ‘excuse’ I would say ‘celebration’.

There were set rules, no one in his unit was out to get him, he learnt skills, he was treated as his own person, he had a purpose bigger than himself.
