          Miss Meow will have to decline box nomming due to lack of tooths. She would however accept a box sitting invitation.

    Party is over and I bought way too much food and soft drink, but it won’t go to waste around here I guess. Miniest’s friends are all funny and nice little girls with nice mums, but I didn’t get a chance to talk to them much.

    Miniest’s non birthday party today. She wanted a get together with her besties rather than a full on party. So we’re hoping to snag a spot at the local “good” park (we live closest to the “shit” park) and I’m providing plenty of cold drinks and snacks. Got to make brownies and do some quick shopping. Off I go!

    I have just learned that all the HBO shows have left Binge. HBO has launched their own streaming service. The fragmentation of the market is ridiculous. People are just gonna give up and go back to the seas.

      Your local library may be able to give you access to some of it for free. Kanopy is a library streaming service with some fascinating curation

      What? That was the main reason for having Binge. At least they waited until White Lotus finished up I guess.

    All I can say is fuck moving bluestone, feeling it today. Stupid volcanos.

    Heading down the bellarine today for the break. Gonna start building a pizza oven out of the heaps of sandstone down there. I have no idea what I’m doing but it seems like a good idea.

      Sandstone can explode if exposed to fire, so be cautious about where you use it. Should be fine as a support, just not right against where the fire goes.

    Anybody have the “board game stash cupboard” ? I counted around 30 board games and card games and half dozen puzzles. I think my favourites are Settlers of Catan and Risk, but the one game that everyone comes back to is UNO for some reason.

    I think it’s more fun in a large group gathering that’s more casual.

      UNO Flip is one of my favourite card games, it’s so chaotic. Got any games good for 2 players that you can reccommend?

      The new UNO game has draw 10 and other weird cards in it. Great for big gatherings.

      We have a lot of quiz games and classics.

      UNO is a classic. Never gets boring. Cards against humanity gets pulled out a fair bit at friend game gatherings as well.

        We have cards against but it loses its lustre when you get used to the card combinations so the replay value goes right down.

        For our UNO games, cheating is kind of encouraged, so some of the fun is trying to catch someone out.

      We’ve got lots of games like various Uno ones, Throw Throw Avocado, Throw Throw Burrito, Exploding Kittens, What Do You Meme, the hit each other with fake swords one and stuff like that. I like good old fashioned monopoly but nobody else is interested. There’s a heap I haven’t looked at in ages, I probably should.

      Yeeeess. Just the classics - chess, backgammon, cribbage, mahjong and ordinary cards. Oh, and Squatter (inherited from siblings - dates back to the 1970s). Zillions of jigsaws as I like doing these and have good lighting over the jigsaw table so can be done after dark.

    forgot to post how good the potato wedges were! the cheese sauce wasnt my best, but the bolognese sauce was amazing with them as was the simple sweet chili and sour cream. Gonna get back into the “snacks for dinner” to save a bit of cash and cause the kid loves 'em!

      Loaded baked potatoes would be even cheaper. Get the washed kind (preferably floury) and microwave them skin on to cook. Then smash open, load them up, and bake to get everything hot and crispy/melted

        I did. The companies that my workplace contracts obviously think sweetening up the staff after jabbing us is good business sense.

    Sky pending

    Edit: sky has moved through ominous red into pale orange. I’m expecting an eye-searing ball of fire to appear any minute.
