That’s only part of the milk. What have they done with all the rest?

I just received a midnight dog food delivery. Mr Woof slept through the whole thing.
I have decided to stop buying the bulk bags which I have been dividing up into containers for the freezer, instead I’m paying more for smaller bags I can put straight into the freezer. I think it was a good decision. It’s a lot less hassle.

I’ve been putting away my grocery delivery and now have an alarming quantity of nuts to mix together. That’s what happens when you buy bulk packs for value but don’t like any of the pre-made mixes so buy individual bags of each nut type. I just counted and there is 3.5 kilos there!
As well as the groceries I’ve had a fruit & veg box delivered, plus egg powder and chicken stock, and there is dog food delivery coming overnight. I think I’m well and truly set for a while now.

Fabulous news. Just in time for you to have a chill weekend.

A bag of milk powder would be great, thanks.

My week off has not gone to plan, thank’s to this pesky cold I was gifted with. I haven’t been too sick, but haven’t had the energy (or breathing capacity) to get much done. So I’ve mostly been sitting on the couch doing nothing much, and instead of having the gardening etc. I was planning on doing finished I have achieved nothing and have a pile of chores that have built up that I need to get on top of.

Perfect, thank you. You are very kind.

I seem to have caught a cold ☹️
I’ve not been out anywhere much, so it has to have had a very short incubation period (I worked Friday night, throat was feeling a bit sore Saturday night).

Exciting/scary news. I might have to use you as inspiration to finally start my own house hunt, which I fully intended to begin in August and still haven’t done yet!

That is sometimes true, but I think in this case it was just a gimicky saucepan set. Like many of these ads the ‘solution’ they are showing to the problem doesn’t actually work any better. In this case they ‘solved’ having to hold a strainer and a saucepan at the same time by having a built in strainer that pivots as you pour the contents out. But with handles on both sides of the pot it makes it hard to actually hold and tip a large pan whilst holding it up. A freestanding collander in the sink and resting the pan on the side of the sink while you tip the first of the contents out and lighten the load seems a much safer/easie option to me. Or if it was set up like my mum’s tipping kettle that has a stand so you don’t have to hold the weight in your hands.

The complete ineptness of people on late night infomercials never fails to amuse. Aparently pouring the contents of a saucepan into a strainer is a nearly impossible task, destined to end in failure.

This month’s fruit & veg box arrived today and I just ate half a melon. I now have an over supply of green apples, so will need to plan some cooking. I also got two bags of little carrots - they are about half as long as the ‘standard’ size you tend to get, but just at thick. Absolutely perfect for a single person.

My gas safety check is now complete. I thought Mr Woof was going to have a stroke from the stress of having a stranger coming inside the house, but he has survived and is currently doing a full safety sweep of the house.

I only have one in the house, and that’s because Mr Woof brought it inside to show off his hunting prowess. I tried putting it in the bin, but he pulled it out again so it’s currently in the middle of the lounge room.

These are photos for places on Google Maps. My most viewed has 63,335 views, which really makes me question why I’m getting emails congratulating me on photos that have only reached 5!

I’m a bit jealous, I’ve never had much success with corriander. I am looking forward to when I have a permanent garden and can spend some time finding a spot it likes so I can leave it to self seed.
I often do the leaves in oil and freeze in an ice cube tray, it works well.

I just received an exciting message from Google:
“Your photos just reached a new milestone. They’ve now been reacted to over 5 times”
Five whole reactions, can I call myself an influencer now?

My web browser (Vivaldi) updated a few days ago and has now developed a very weird issue with Reddit. It’s registering where I touch the screen as being about 1cm higher than where it actually is, so I am randomly up/down voting posts and opening the wrong thing repeatedly. It’s very, very odd.

I am alive! Just feeling a bit flat and boring lately, so don’t really have anything to post about. Hopefully the longer days will perk things up a bit more 🙂

Fortunately not the very next level, there were a few unlocks in between. But it went very quickly from scrounging every last gem to 100 million not being worth picking up.

The game I’m playing has a very steep increase in items I need to collect to get rewards. I started off needing 5 gems to get a reward, the next one needs 540 trillion.

I’m doing the same 90 seconds of work over and over, like an express Groundhog Day. I am cheerful towards callers until mid-morning, lose all ability for a positive customer service approach by lunch, expect to lose basic maths skills by mid afternoon and will have lost all but the most basic levels of speech by the end of the day.

The local anaesthetic has almost completely worn off now. I’ve been through the weird itchy phase and am now moving into the ‘ouch’ phase. Should things get too bad I have Oxycodene on hand. I just need to time it right so I’m not just about to operate any heavy machinery.

I have to go to the dentist this morning. It’s cold and wet outside and way to early and I really don’t wanna.

I guess I use a hybrid version. It’s as you go for the first part of the meal, then towards the end I’ll start focussing on making sure that everything is divided up into portions to make sure there is a bit of everything to go into each bite. I’m the opposite of the people who want all their food segregated and eaten separately, I want all meal components to have equal representation throughout the meal.

Today’s overnight oats were particularly delicious. Although I put so much fruit in them I’m starting to think I should refer to it as fruit salad with oats.
