  a few hours work in the yard, garden table wire brushed then derust applied. Cleaned and two coats of paint. Looks ok.

  Spent one hour doing nothing but raking and sweeping in the front and filled a bin.

  will do more tomorrow. :)

  Where do you buy thick bacon?

  A cafe at my uni sells muffins with a centimetre thick slice of bacon in.

  I was curious if it’s possible to buy bacon that thick as a consumer, and where. The local butchers either don’t have any, or just have the same thing slices Coles and Woolworths have.

    You gotta ask for it to be cut thick at a good butchers.

  Presentation is in half an hour! Practised and went for 4 to 5 minutes over which I was not expecting. I must talk slow. I’m glad I rehearsed though. Just got to hurry up a little.

  I got through planting my seeds for today. There are about 30 different types, way too many of them being different variaties of tomato. It would have been good to get most of them started much earlier, hopefully I’ll be able to do that next year as everything will be set up ready.

  The over-bath shelf is a good fit for three heat mats worth of seedlings.

  Lying out in the backyard for a bit of sunshine when I’m not feeling well seemed like a great idea… until the constant sneezing reminded me that I have hayfever.

  Also, phone cameras really have gotten absurdly good.

  I made an early start on my garden support assembling last night and now have four garden obelisks sitting in my shower (the one I don’t use, it may as well do something). I have set up a shelf over the bath (which I also don’t use) in a nice bright spot to put some of my punnets onto until the seeds sprout and they can be moved outdoors. The dog has been walked, breakfast has been eaten. I think I’m ready to move onto seed planting now.

  Why does KFC have banh mi? 😭 and McDonalds has matcha?

  source

  • tone212_@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I saw a review of the KFC banh mi a couple days ago. Apparently it’s just the zinger fillet and slaw in a long roll, no pate, hoisin/soy or other key banh mi ingredients.

  Yesterday was productive. I managed to get two weeks worth of the antibiotics Melbcat needs, plus her solensia and vitamin b and a kidney check.

  I’m going to be grabbing the other bottle of antibiotics from her usual vet as well just to be sure. It still isn’t in. How long has it been??

  The lesion on her lip is more unusual than that one on her nose and may need a biopsy. :(

  • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Um, if that’s the corner, which way does the dishwasher open? Will opening it close off access to the bits next to it?

    source

    • Taleya@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      standand down hinge door, cupboard to the left is under the sink, cupboard to the right is small appliances.

      We’re eventually going to gut and redo the kitchen, it’s the only place we can fit the dishwasher atm. We can live with sometimes having to put dishes on the bench and close the machine before putting them away - our previous dishwasher is a benchtop that lived in the friggin’ laundry out the back :P

  I watched LA Confidential last night because I read the book and was surprised how enjoyable it was. The movie took a lot out for brevity but a lot is lost in what was removed.

  The book isn’t good, and it’s a bit long, but it never commits the crime of being boring. The stakes are much higher, and whilst it becomes predictable as you realise all the sub plots are tied together, it’s still a fun read to see it all tie off.

  The main thing I was interested in was who they cast as Ed Exley, and our own Guy Pierce does an amazing job. An unexpected pull but he fills the role well. He has the acting chops that if they fleshed out his character more he could have played the transactional coward with the thin veneer of the department golden boy.

  Russel Crowe was the other main character, and Simon Baker made an appearance. It’s funny that a movie about LA is full of Australian actors.

  I think a screen adaptation needed to be either longer to include everything, or somehow cut out even more to focus on the most interesting part at the end.

  I’d give the book maybe 3/5 hobbits and the movie probably 2-2.5/5. It’s crazy the film got marked for preservation by the American Film Association or whatever, there should be a rule against including inferior adaptations of already average source material.
