    Many years ago I grew and birthed a baby. Today I did it again. 😎 Feast your eyes on my loaf

    Image of a loaf of bread

    Update will happen when I saw into the thing.

    Image of loaf with two cut off piece. One buttered.

    Verdict: Lovely crust. Soft inside. Maybe a little under done but still edible. 4/5 yum yums.

    Note to ones self: Do not eat the whole thing before the roomies come home.

    Apparently it’s International Cat Day. I’d say make sure to spoil your cat, but mine’s very spoilt already.

    The Herald Scum are at it again. According to them firefighters are being offered a “whopping pay increase”. 12% over four years - which means 3% a year. Wow, less than half the current inflation rate, how outrageous. 😡

    Had a chat with my boss, and I apologised for listening to things. He said that it’s fine to listen to things, just not to have my phone out. So podcasts and music are back on the menu boys!

    Exercises for this morning were completed, and to my surprise the Elder Minipeeler asked shyly if he could join me! It was a good teaching moment about not going at it too hard when you’re beginning with exercises so you don’t hurt yourself and get disillusioned, and doing 10ish minutes a day is a good habit to get into no matter what age or ability you are. He also showed me some exercises he’s been taught at school!Let’s see if he joins me again tomorrow or starts his own thing!

      Your immune system is about to see shit it hasn’t ever seen. Best of luck, stock up on hydralyte and panadol.

        @Eagle @TinyBreak and if you don’t have it yet get a standing script for Ondasetron from your GP. Saved my ass 3 times in the first 12 months of my daughters many illnesses (yes, pretty much everything came from childcare, possibly one from swimming class) the one time I didn’t have it with me was miserable and the first time I had worshipped at the porcelain throne since pregnancy (which, fortunately, I only had to once… yes I was very lucky)…

    It’s okay guys. The prawns were NOT on the counter. They were defrosting in the fridge. The years are getting to me and I can’t remember shit and now I can’t find my glasses. God save me.

      I’m always saying to myself, "If they’re not on your face they’re in the case" to get me to put them back in the case when not in use. Doesn’t work, I’m often leaving them in some random place!

        Lol it’s definitely not how it works. I try to put them in the few usual spots but there’s always the exception where I feel adventurous and try something else 😂

      Now you can have prawns to celebrate!! Isn’t it so good that it wasn’t the other way around? What will you be making? 🍽

          I’ve always thought of prawns as a finicky, difficult dish but since starting to use frozen prawns I’ve realised how they can actually be simple enough

            Depends on what you want to make I guess but seafood in general is pretty quick to cook and can be a really simple meal if you’re not fussed.

      Once mine fell on the floor next to my computer, and the arms camouflaged perfectly with black mouse / keyboard cables etc. It took me a long time to find them that time - if you haven’t found them yet, good luck!

    If I killed 3 people and seriously wounded another accidently with my cooking my face would be puffy from crying and my body would be so incapacitated that I would not be able to move from the couch.

        Do you know what I reckon she’s done? She’s grabbed a toadstool from the back yard and mixed it into the Coles packaged mushrooms, fried em up. Dig in. Bon appetit.

          I wouldn’t be surprised tbh. What an idiot. Like, at least buy them from the dealer down the road and have a fun trip. Don’t grab the fatal ones from your yard. Some people 🙄

      It’s quite possible it was completely accidental and she still doesn’t care because she hates them because they treated her like a servant.

      It would not surprise me if they collected the mushrooms themselves and asked her to cook them.

        That’s actually a good theory. She could’ve been hesitant to cook them and wouldn’t let the kids eat them.

          if it were my relos they would never heed my warnings

          I note the victims were in one of those baptist cults. They are pretty misogynistic , so I bet they wouldn’t listen to her if she said something.

          Also possible they wouldn’t share the mushrooms because there weren’t enough

    There was a legitimate big bang about 40 mins ago and I heard it hooray. Apparently something entering the atmosphere.

      Good morning from Pepper, who is grateful she didn’t have to spend last night hiding in the airport carpark, and instead sent purrs and hisses and little tiny growls all around my house.

          She loves people, they have yummy things. The resisdent cats she does not like, but they are being respectful. She is coming around to the dog, because she plays.

    I don’t have anywhere/anyone else to show this to, but I caught a shiny Magikarp in Magikarp Jump. I named her Audrey.

    Since I’ve gone down a size or two I’m getting rid of the too big clothes and last of the stuff I don’t wear anymore. 👍 two bags of stuff for the op shop
