  I’ve had my pint - in increments, because I’m ^very little^ and Siobhan thinks it’s hilarious when I ask for a full pint in one go - and arranged delicious mi goreng.

  Life is good

    I wish I could have a pint but my body has decided it’s an allergen or something

    I still want one

      It was Magner’s cider, if that makes a difference. I’m not much of a one for beer

  I’m tired and cranky today. It’s my daughter’s graduation later. When I come home after, providing she doesn’t, I’m gonna get high. 🚬

    Had my daughter’s grad earlier this week.

    Will definitely get high later today. Since it’s prescription…my kids know.

    So much better not hiding it.

      I generally only use it as a last resort pain relief. Today it will be used as a stress release.

      One time I was in absolute agony, finally I had some relief and YL and some friends came in all at the same time. Everyone is talking to me and all I’m hearing in my head is “blah blah blah shut the fuck up and leave me alone”.

      That’s why I prefer to do it when I’m alone.

    Friday has become pizza and weed night. Sometimes both, sometimes one of. I think tonight is a both night.

  Listening to a colleague drone on about some shit that’s not relevant to my role.

  It’s a Teams meeting, so I’m muting and un-muting them every few minutes.

  Ughh… I’m not feeling up to a walk but I’m so bored.

  Got eaten by mosquitoes while taking the recycling to the bin. I’ve wiped off the kitchen windowsill then put the glass with the lavender cutting back. Put the disgusting sink of dishes to soak. And started a load of washing.

  I need to put out fresh borax baits, change the bed and sweep the floor but don’t wanna.

  I don’t even get to be baked for this

  Was chatting at work with a colleague, who is contemplating going into business selling charcoal packages - little one-bbq ones. Completely self sufficient - kindling is included in each pack as part of the base. Pack size is 2 kg or so and the base fits into standard webers/smokers/bbqs and most fire pits. 2 packs fit nicely into a half 44 gallon drum. Looking at using mallee root charcoal or gidgee (my fab fave for charcoal cooking).

  Basically is a complete package that you only need to remove the outer covering and hold a match to the base, wait for the coals to ash up and then get to cooking or whatever.

  He got the idea cos a huuuge 10-15 kg chaff bag of charcoal is usually too much for just one bbq/fire pit and is hard to store cleanly for next time. Specially in an apartment. So a one use only quantity with all included that can be bought as needed rather than stored since the last bbq is the basic concept.

  As test of concept (not sales) - is this the sort of thing anyone here would be interested in? Particularly if you could pick up a pack at a petrol station or supermarket or the like? Would be very interested to pass on your comments.

  source

  • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I think with the COL rise and more people cooking at home, there’s plenty of people who would buy that. Especially apartment dwellers. Heck even I have a bbq on my balcony that I haven’t used because of the fluff around with charcoal and gas and shit. So I reckon there is definitely a market for it.

    Also agree with Seagoon, that selling it wholesale to a retailer is a good idea because your mate can then spread the risks around rather than taking it all on themself

    source
  • SaneMartigan@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Most apartments have serious no BBQ rules.

    source
  • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    There are dedicated Webber and lifestyle stores popping up around so there could be a market there too

    source
  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    the people to sell it to is Bunnings and Mitre 10 and Woolworths, that’s who your friend should be concentrating on

    that’s who your friend’s customer is

    about the product, sounds awesome , would definitely buy

    source
  • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I’ve been doing some painting today, but not the artistic kind. I’ve been painting lots of weeds in the back yard with poison, focussing on the mallow in the lawn and the grass runners popping up in the garden. There were also a couple of very tiny bindi plants I spotted, but I seem to have mostly gotten rid of them for now. I should do a bit in the front yard too, but I was overheating enough just doing that much so will put it off until another day.

  source

  • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    You could just eat the mallow

    source

    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I do not wish to eat the mallow. If I did I would put a mallow plant somewhere convenient and nurture it so it was actually good to eat, not have it hide through the lawn.

      I heard it’s called cheeseweed because of the round seed pod but doesn’t taste like cheese.

      Unfortunately I’m not able to test it out or even other foraging because my stomach is a little bitch

  off to take a bag of stuff to op shop and take some good glasses ( ray ban small frames suitable for a young person ) to the optometrist to give to charity

  most optometrists will take old glasses for charity to give to third world countries, it’s a very good cause, no point in knowing how to read if you need glasses

  I finally got around to some long put-off sewing work and fixed some flannelette pjs. They’ve annoyed me for ages because the buttons all come undone and the front facings bunch up instead of sitting properly, so I’ve sewn the facings down and sewn the front shut so the buttons are now just decorative. Now when I pull it out of the cupboard after the weather cools down again next year I won’t have to go throught the whole wear it once and remember ‘oh yeah, that’s why I don’t wear that pair very much, I should do something about that’ procedure like I have been for the last few years.

  Ah wonderful. My job provider has given my details to another recruiter who has hounded me via text to apply for a call centre job at Probe. I tried so hard to avoid applying for anything coming from Probe or Serco (terrible word of mouth reputations amongst us phone monkey), but it’s done now.

  I want to smack this man and his sickly faux enthusiasm

  Customer wanted to return something that could be fixed with a screwdriver. Manager said just return it. Person who looks through returns got pissed.

  Another Customer returned a mop that wasn’t suitable for their floor. Manager again said just return it. Returns lady got pissed at me. Mop had water in it. Returns lady extra pissed at me.

  I knew I should’ve just said no and not asked for the manager’s input.

  I think I need to get some more of the big sealable pantry containers to protect crackers and dry goods from moths. Maybe even keep stuff in the fridge or freezer to kill the eggs. Because every time I order from the supermarket back they come.

  I think I need to sweep to get the stuff like litter and fur and then vacuum to grab any moth or flea eggs, but that depends on energy and Melbcat being in the other room when the noise starts.

  I also saw a cockroach. Ew. I’m wiping stuff down and those baits are being refreshed tonight.
