Merry Xmas all
Fell asleep last night without replying to everyone.
The Christmas movies were
Elf (Peter Dinklage was the GOT connection)
Home alone
Trading places
Christmas vacation
Be careful when typing seasons greetings. It’s Happy New Year not Happy New Tear.
I mean, there could be tears… (Right now just looking at the traffic makes me want to shed a few… 😭😂)
watching other people cook is agony
inefficiency drives me cray
Lol okay Gordon Ramsay
Don’t come to my kitchen, I take 10 minutes to make 2 minute noodles
I promise I won’t look
Merry Xmas everyone! Hope you all have a good day, however you spend it 🎄🥂
DDT Fam, Merry Christmas or Merry insert your preference here.!
I hope everyone has a lovely day, no matter what you are doing.
I’ve been up four hours and don’t even care.
Merry Christmas ya filthy animals
Yo Happy BD JC 🎂
And Merry Pudding Day 2 da rest of youse. 💕
It is in fact my brother’s birthday
Yo happy BD to him yo
Fuck that was a lot of food
Yes. I’m discombobulated
I am more ham then human.
Mr Woof’s not going to be happy, it’s not looking like it will be cool enough for a walk this evening. And obviously it will be too hot tomorrow too.
I’m in two minds about whether I should get a new phone. The one I have right now (from the Samsung A range) has been randomly restarting, and my sister who has the same phone, has had that happen to her. I don’t want to get rid of the phone until it’s on its last leg, but maybe it’s time for a factory reset.
Randomly restarting? It’s on its last legs.
It’s only done it a few times though. Around three times this month
Backup using samsung smart switch, factory reset, then restore the backup.
Excellent idea. Thank you!
Ho Ho Ho 🦌

Crispy porchetta with roast vegetables and gravy, followed by a pavlova with strawberries and passionfruit topping please Chef. Champagne to drink. And an antacid tablet and a nice dark place to sleep it all off.
Put those toasted cheese sandwiches down immediately! I don’t care if they have pickles in them, you MUST have a proper meal.

🍾💊🕳️
It would please you to know that Chef is having a variety of burgers four meals in a row, and is enjoying a nice cold pineapple sundae before work starts
A glass of wine. Doesn’t need to be in glass just a coffee mug or any receptacle will do.
Is there anything you’d like delivered bacon?
Could you take these oysters to Santa please? I told him I am giving him a dozen oysters for his hard work.
🦪🦪🦪🦪🦪🦪
🦪🦪🦪🦪🦪🦪
The eggnog at this establishment is unparalleled, so could I please have another of those
And here’s some of my secret-family-recipe trifle for you, chef. Hope you have a lovely day, whatever you’re doing 🥣
🥚🥛🥃
That is most delicious thank you. Chef is at work today.
One full Christmas roast with all the trimmings please. In a massive serving size far larger than one person should eat so that I can eat it all anyway and then spend the rest of the day complaining that I am too full.
I’ll get a big juicy steak served with sauteed capsicum, asparagus and broccoli - with cheese on the veggies. Two eggs as well please
🧀
🫑🎍🥦🥔🍳🍳
Inspired by somebody you probably don’t know: Chef I send you a halo halo pavlova 🍠🍒🍇💚🥚🍥
Thank you!
Happy Christmas everyone⛄🎁 I hope all your family things go smoothly today 🙏
I wasn’t sure if this was a whammy. I clicked. Not a whammy! Good job Nath
(Can I be safely whammied now that it’s officially the big day?)
Zooper doopers magic review: the green toffee apple tastes identical to how it did when it was brown. The creaming soda one tastes the same as icky raspberry to me, definitely the fave
That’s all I’ve tried so far. Will report back with lemonade and grape when it gets hot
Use the ones you don’t like as ice packs!
Good idea!
My aunt made bons bons with mini alcohol bottles, chocolate and mini block Christmas themed Lego. She also wrote the jokes and trivia questions herself. Was cool!
Lamb in the airfryer, coleslaw all ready for eating and garlic dip about to be opened!
Fantastisch!!! 🤤🤤 Sounds so gooood
Oh it was soooo good.
That aldi garlic is potent!
Decided to grab biryani. Went for a chicken 65 biryani with medium spice and a mango lassi. Gonna get a takeaway and eat at home because it’s very very busy. The lassi is great! Just waiting on the biryani
This area is so much better than the last one, seriously. So many fantastic places to eat in a 5-10 minute flat (not uphill!) walk, and everywhere has good prices and are really lovely
7/30 and I was surprised to get that much. Some lucky guesses.
8/30
Pretty much all guesses.
11/30 and I’m lucky I got that far. Genuinely no clue about anything
19/30!
I got 8/30, clearly I’ve paid no attention.
15
not too bad
I got to question 5 without getting any right so I gave up. I pretty much only follow local news. Zero shits given about what idiots with too much money say or do to other idiots with too much money
13/30 lucky guesses
Opinions requested: 24° inside still (17° out) but I’ve acclimated, so it doesn’t feel hot or even toasty. It’s comfortable for now
Since it will hit the 30s today, reckon I should open up my windows overnight to get things a bit cooler for the morn and close when I wake up? I don’t think there’ll be any avoiding it, it’ll probably simmer at about 28 whether I open the window now or not. Just a matter of when
I’m an idiot and forgot to set the AC on a timer before leaving. At least the blinds are down and windows closed. Oh well, just gonna rack up bills cooling the place down when I get back.
What did you end up doing with the windows?
Bugger!
I e ded up keeping them closed. Big mistake because it’s now 26 inside. 21 outside but hardly seems worth opening up now
A late merry Christmas to all. Hope it was pleasant whatever your activities were. I ate lots of food, stayed out of some arguments, patted a dog, and am now in bed.
It seems I’ve been too ambitious… 5 of the 6 golden nugget pumpkin seedlings sprouted then have grown super fast and the 20 gallon grow bags were ordered too late. (Plus to fill all 5 would take like fifteen or sixteen 25l bags of potting mix. To fill two containers would be a little over six which is more doable but I wanted four plants.)
That’s a lot of money and a lot of labour shoveling it in. (Especially with 4 of the jack be little just sown. They might survive in the last four remaining 30cm pots though and are more stakeable.)
Would it be super bad to just scratch out holes in the grass and plant the golden nuggets in ground? I haven’t had the soil tested for toxic metals yet because I have not been able to get to the post office, and am weird about the thought of the soil tainting the fruit.
It might not be tooo bad… Apparently fruiting stuff is lower risk. While I haven’t had mine tested specifically yet, from the research gate map from 2018 my spot looks low for lead contamination. There has also been exposure to cat poop and a buried pet bird but that was about 4/5 years ago.
Just feels weird. I’m going to have to decide soon but don’t want to accidentally give anyone gross produce.
Unless the soil was previously a rubbish tip, a chemical factory, or owned by weirdo who liked to water their garden with leaded petrol, the amount of lead in the soil is likely to be minuscule. (And other heavy metals too. It would just whatever the background level is, which is fine for food, all soils our farmed food is grown have naturally present trace metals to various degrees). But if it’s not in your comfort zone, then that’s ok! Just grow the pumpkins for ornamental value, or learning a new skill, or still life subjects for your art, or providing flowers for pollinators, and eventually compost for the garden to keep the worms happy and soil healthy. The goal doesn’t have to be food production, it’s still enjoyable to watch things grow.
Thanks, my goal is mainly food production though :(
I started doing this to give veg to a friend and their family and have tried to expand to give some to a community pantry
You could put a barrier under each developing fruit to protect them from the soil - a plastic lid or a plank or a brick or something would work. Not cardboard - gets too soggy when wet.
That works. The fruit will be ok to give away?
Using up some of this yarn making a string bag. Acrylic is apparently not ideal but it’s what I’ve got. I may or may not finish, feeling kind of lazy.
Still so warm in the hotbox bedroom. I had plans of leaving at like 7 am tomorrow but it’s not happening I think. The beauty of driving is I can push it back. It’ll be hot regardless… Leaving at 8:30 won’t be that much worse on Boxing Day, surely, especially when most people will probably be staying indoors
Had planned on watching the last episode of Shrinking but CBF now, I’ll watch it when I get back. It turned so soapy I kind of hate it now.
I did finish the first series of Northern Irish cop show Blue Lights yesterday though and that was really entertaining. Looking forward to s2.
Also Santa with Muscles is free on YouTube if you really have nothing better to do
