furry croissant
So many layers …
I opened the windows upstairs, hopefully the through air current will cool it down .
Done 2 loads of washing and some tidying but finding it hard to get motivated.
RIP Troy Selwood.
AFL Lions player and co captain of the Geelong cats VFL side.
Gone far too early.
Home and I have dinner with me. Commence the veg-ing
Woohoo, pakige! After inexplicably not getting one for over a decade since leaving home (despite growing up religiously using one), I finally got my own Borner V-slicer. Shipped direct from Germany no less - admittedly using Evil Bezos (I had a gift card).
yay
I can’t wait to slice up the rest of the daikon and carrot for a MUCH better-looking pickle. And then chunky batons of beetroot to make into a curry. And cabbage for a stir fry… no more questionable knifework!
I only really hope the latest models haven’t fallen to enshittification. My mum and aunt have been using their older ones for like 20 years now.
the Borner is the original and best , my mum had one and I remember using it myself to help with the family cooking. I now have one myself , but another brand , and it’s indispensable for cutting oranges, lemons and limes for marmalade
I can see myself losing a finger on that contraption.
They have apparently made them a lot safer (especially with storage - you can now store all the pieces safely without exposing your fingers to the blades)
But yeah my grandma absolutely refused to use them back in the day no matter how convenient they are. I’ve definitely nicked myself in the past.
I am sweating fucking buckets on the train. Lucky I changed into my gym gear leaving the office.
Clicking around a spreadsheet to make it sound like I’m working but I don’t caaaaaaaaaare. 🎶
They sure don’t make them like they used to
Looks like a magazine now.
No good for posting to annoying companies anymore 😿
I think the cool change has just started to roll in, noticed the temp has dropped quite a bit. Now it’s 27.
Yay! Now to get that to happen inside the house…
out here too, thank god!
Yup just left the office. It’s here 👍
back from shops and a bit rested, I got the groceries youse guys wanted. 😊
Is the suet made from wild birds?! And I haven’t had burger rings since high school
I have no idea but it’s eco friendly and comes in a ten pack. Those are big pluses. 👍
You can use it as bait to make your Cockatoo Cacciatore
mmm, tastes like chicken
Lorikeet Pizza is back on the menu
I think it’s Woodpecker brand suet. 😉
No wonder the dark russet are crunchy. They look burnt. I’d try the jalepeno.
Thanks!
And OK I didn’t even know off-brand Burger Rings was a thing!
Still, good to see someone sticking it to big-ring.
Work stuff.
That looks way more interesting than my job - are they hiring?
I’ll get back to you.
It’s only one facet of the job, you’ll be dealing with munchkins most of the time.
Ah! I was thinking I’d love to work with insects / animals (but am not a zoologist, sadly)
Are these ready to be deep-fried?
So naturally had to check, can you deep fry a butterfly?.. the results were… conflicting.
They do it with crickets. Why discriminate?
They do move a bit…
Wanderers!
Silkworms?
EmperorMonarch butterflies I think?
Yep, Melbcat has high blood pressure and will have to take meds. I want to get her on phosphate binders too. She seems to be feeling a tiny bit better at the moment but her blood pressure is really high
and the dog tried to bite the vet again. for fucks sake. Dogs now got anti anxiety meds, but I reckon its time to speak to a trainer or something. Had a couple of “incidents” now so might be time to actually address rater than just keep hoping he will get better.
Why does my dog continually want to go and sunbake outside when it’s 37 cunt degrees out there? He runs to the door like it’s urgent. I am not opening it even with those cute pleading eyes.
Yeah, mine’s half Mexican, he spent 3 hours last night staring at me for his evening walk.
😂
They have their own way of protesting.
What happens when you let your dog out on a day like this?
He sunbakes on the path like a cat. When he’s had enough, he knocks on the door to come in. Half an hour later, he wants to go back out. He prefers this:
But because I have the door shut, he can’t sit in his favourite spot.
Ps. He likes to bird watch.
Come on cool change!
Just a few more hours. Stay strong bro. YOU GOT THIS!!!
