Had a wholesome moment with the cleaning lady that p's get yesterday. She'd be mid 60's chinese. Was pulling some chillies off the tree for her and she came out really enthusiatic asking about it for 10 mins telling me all the different parts of the tree in mandarin lol.
She was trying to haggle me for how many she could have. We went from 30 to 70. I lost but I had nothing that would work against her strategy.
Gig is tonight 🎸. Everything packed, prepped and practised. Been feeling more stress than nerves last few days, but I reckon I might actually have fun tonight. That's the goal at least
TL;DR: Face sunscreens are overpriced and adding way too many actives for marketing reasons to the point of me not being able to use them anymore, old reliables have been reformulated, and trying generic to get a more basic option didn’t work out well either.
FFS. I just want affordable basics that don’t sting or cause reactions.
I should have just bought from the same disliked but tolerable brand while it was half price.
Yeah, that’s worrying. I don’t use a lot of products but sunscreen is kind of a necessity and it’s getting so hard to find something that just does the job.
Edit: Am… am I going to be forced to wear a bucket hat next summer? Because broad brimmed hats flap up or sag down, and baseball caps don’t cover your neck or ears

seems like a win win 😊

Seeing her light up was great. Sometimes it's the little things.
I do think sharing produce just breaks down every barrier and yesterday reaffirmed that.

Hello, I've been reading about the fediverse as a distraction from looking for a job. Hopefully this is a good place to jump in.

Welcome! We're a weird mob but pretty nice at least most of the time. Do you have a cat?

Do people like June 20 for another go at games meet? It's the day before solstice so I'd probably break out the mini spit and fire a meat.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 104d
I'm keen!
I will bring vodka for better or worse.
Catfish@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 104d
For better or rolling down hills 😜
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 104d
Sounds good!!

I am clearly incapable of plannibg things far in advance 😬 please ask again no sooner than June 13

A loud raspberry in your general direction. Phone, calendar, alert 🐈⬛

Since the boys are here to stay, Cerys has decided the appropriate response is to be a Giant Turd. 🎉

Have gone home from work. The Snottening has reached Richmond/Thornbury and points between.

Pictures of baked beans make poor colouring in pages
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 104d
Turn them into rainbow beans? Little critters?
Catfish@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 104d
It was a dream. No idea, I don't like baked beans.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 104d
oh gawd you do realise what I'm bringing to the next gathering now.
Catfish@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 104d
I would probably like the real stuff ala chef having a fit in Pie in the Sky, the tins are stupid sweet and gluey.
TheWitchofThornbury2@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 104d
Agree about the tins. But a proper cassoulet is divine ... 👼👼👼👼.
Catfish@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 104d
They look fantastic on tv. Never done the whole thing myself.
TheWitchofThornbury2@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 104d
Takes forever, but def worth it. The combo of duck, bacon, beans & garlicky breadcrumbs just hits so so good.
mertn22@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 104d
It is the sauce on them that is bad. Try adding some tomato puree to the beans.

I may have packed away the string bikini a bit prematurely
Catfish@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 104d
Is it one of those one sided ones? Always wondered how they stay on at all
Pilk@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 104d
So tiny it may dissolve if it actually ever got wet.

Hahahah His Lordship chose to be the one who got First Big Sleeps with the boys in the bed having access to the larger portion of the house.
Tucked up on the comfy futon couch watching Buffy with Cerys i hear chaos reign outside. Not my circus, not my monkeys.

I looked up a survey on choice the other day. I'll see if I can find it for you.
but basically, so many are crap

maybe one of those medium brim hats from Dangerfield? They are pretty too
melbaboutown@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 104d
I haven’t been to Dangerfield in forever… or clothes shopping in forever. I’ll see if they have anything on clearance
