I’m so enthralled by the mushroom lady’s case. Using the different coloured plates to hers is sooo suss. But I don’t know, all this evidence so far reported seems circumstantial.

Maybe she only had a 4 piece set of good plates. Would’ve been interesting to see what plate the husband could’ve received.

this to me sounds like clueless privileged lawyers who have never had to eat from a mismatched set

How could it be anything but circumstantial? It’s rare in any murder trial to have direct evidence, and poisoning is inherently a hidden and secretive crime. Unless she actually videoed herself picking poisonous mushrooms, putting them the meal, and saying she know’s they’re poisonous I can’t see any way you could have direct evidence.
Circumstantial evidence is not bad evidence. Once you have a reasonable amount of different bits of evidence all pointing in the same direction it becomes very solid evidence.
tone212_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I agree. But circumstantial evidence is only good when it leads to no other reasonable explanation besides intent to kill. I haven’t heard of any evidence (so far at least) that goes beyond the accused acting suss. There’s weeks of this trial to go, I’m only referring to what’s come out so far.

So so suss, so much suss. But that’s it so far. She had a different coloured plate, but her ex said she had mismatched plates.
The lying about having cancer and telling the victims, but why tell them that lie if she intended to kill them with the meal?
Lying about where the mushrooms came from when questioned, but she could have just panicked in a stressful situation.
I’m very curious to see the outcome of this tbh

she could still just be very stupid

I’m reading The Burrow at the moment. It’s excellent but also set during Melbourne lockdown. I think there’s enough distance now for it to not take me right back there emotionally, and it’s not the focus of the book, but it’s a bit weird. Reliving the easing restrictions and density limits and all that shit.
It also makes me want a pet rabbit.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I don’t think I COULD read a book with that setting. In a city I didn’t know it might be different, but not Melbourne
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Neither could I. Still too soon, too close. Would need to be 10 years from the end of lockdowns imo

I think tomorrow I will spend the whole day painting furniture

The water at my place gets discoloured if it sits in the pipes too long, which is most noticeable in the kitchen because it is furthest away from the connection. The pipes probably all need to be replaced, so I just make sure I run the water for a while before I use it for drinking or cooking.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 month ago
We have PVC pipes, and realised it was the attachment on the tap that was making the water dirty!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yeah, I have the same issue (shower tap is the worst). Old pipes be old. I have to remember to run it for a while before using - luckily water is included in rent at my current place!

it’s a bit blowy out there, pollen level high, time for a walk and some shopping

I dosed up this morning because yesterday was a killer.
Enjoy your outing. ❤️

A mystery bag delivery has yielded assorted teas, a drill, condiments and seasonings, and a lil ukulele.
Matches and aeroguard too, so now I wonder whether that Elon mural is still up and how much damage I could do with those two items 🤔
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Getting in the door was back to easy mode again today - package delivery was just two footstools. I now have two fluffy pink footstools to rest my feet on. They may be a touch small for Miss Meow to use as a cat bed, but I expect her to trial them out at some point anyway.

I’ve been playing around with work’s Marketing automation and it is so nice to use. So much better than Marketing Cloud. I can’t wait to get in there properly.
I may be able to convince the head office team to switch the CMS to drupal too. That combination would be dream working conditions for me, it would be crazy smooth workflow

good night every one 😘

Can anyone in the baking world enlighten me as to what these are before I throw them out. Something to do with cake making/decorating.

As per Rusty Raven below. The thread on the nail bit is so it can be inserted into a foam block or chunk of bread/tumber filled with crunched newspaper to hold it securely until the icing sets.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Looks like a piping nail - you use a piping bag to make a flower or something on it, then can transfer it once set to the cake. You hold the nail bit so you can turn it as you pipe.

I had to watch a YT because I could not imagine how it worked lol, but now it makes total sense, thank you!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Thank you. They’re going in the bin.
