Equal quantities icing sugar and borax - set out in little aluminium trays where pets/kids can’t get to them. Ants will carry the stuff back to the nest and destroy it. Grateful to Sir Lister of Smeg from the other site for this tip - it works well with a bit of repetition.
We have a premade ant poison thing which I think is basically the same (I think the active ingredient listed was borax?). After neutralizing all known threat actors terrorizing the local food supply, these measures were deployed to safeguard the civilian population from future unprovoked attacks o7
My dudes the dishwasher is not edible leave it alone (they were mostly looking at the pantry cupboard, but a surprising number were chilling in the dishwasher)
Dealing with the heat earlier
😍
He looks like a nice guy who is really tired. 😊
I’m all 😍 with people’s pet pics! Keeping my mind off the fact that I’ve had an allergic/contact dermatitis reaction to a cream I was using on my facial burns 😭 For a while there I had ouchy annoying weeping burn coupled with OMG I want to scratch my face apart going on. Now have calmed it down a lot, might actually get a good sleep tonight 🥱. That cool breeze through the window is very welcome. I made a bluesky account and have been looking through some stuff. Don’t know if it’s something I’ll do on the regular, but it’s interesting until I get sick of it I guess.
The fluffy boyz are tired out Bill and Ted
😍
look at that curly tummy on Bill😻 and Ted is looking good since I changed his diet, his skin is less irritated, he’s less cranky as a result and doesn’t mind being brushed as much
So beautiful 😻😻
Alright, so edibles question. My doc recommended trying gummies which arrived today. They are 10mg thc/10mg CBD. I’m not really across what this equates to in terms of strength… Obviously edibles are slow onset, but how strong is this going to end up being in comparison to other methods of consuming (smoking, vaping etc)… I’ve had edibles exactly once 25 years ago, and they tasted so nice that I did the have way too much thing. Not wanting that to happen with these…
Try one out on the weekend at home then you’ll get an idea of strength and how long it last etc.
Yeah, that was the plan. Just looking for a bit of a heads up I guess.
I think it’s compulsory to listen to Bob Marley while recording your findings.
Sun very red
Breeze very welcomed
Dog goes to the door when asked if he wants to play. As soon as he gets outside, he runs straight to a patch of grass and starts munching on it, unfazed by toys.

How is he handling the heat? ( and how are you? ❤️ )
He’s been doing well, I’ve had the aircon on for him all through the heatwave. I let him out (pic above) when the cool change came in, hence he’s getting a good nap in after dinner haha
So many layers …
You should see the layers of blankets my Pepper sleeps on, it’s the princess and the pea come to life. And to think she was sleeping rough as a kitten before we found her makes me add another blanket every other day!
aww
6 blankets as a bed… on a rocking chair!
😍
Haha it stops his claws from poking through the mesh chair, and it smells like me so he enjoys snuggling into it
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.

Gone far too early.
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.
God that picture brings back memories I tell ya
So much food prep awaits.
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.
Home and I have dinner with me. Commence the veg-ing
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 😿
