Something to take the taste of helthy salad out of my mouth. Pavlova maybe? If available.

I often find that my ebike has switched itself on overnight. Something I have to check each morning just in case.

This hot weather is perfect for them. I used to grow them in EBrunswick on the north facing side of a shed that got sun all day, up a trellis. Just keep the fruit off the ground, plenty of water and drainage at the roots but none on the leaves and they should ripen up just fine. In the right spot they’re easy - bloody impossible in the wrong spot. You might want to prune off any little fruits as they won’t have time to swell and ripen before the cool weather sets in, and may hold back the big one.

I hope the peanut butter is feeling better soon.

Tub of yog and 2 coffees. But a bunch of grapes are waiting on me in the freezer - will suspend them in lemon/lime/bitters cordial for this afternoon. Hydration is a must.

Platter of oysters on ice with a tall glass of champagne please.

If you want to really understand the insides of christian churches, check out Margaret Visser’s incredible book The Geometry of Love.
She looks in depth at an ‘ordinary’ suburban church in Rome, and dissects out the meaning of practically every inch of it. One of the most stunning books I’ve ever read I think - a sort of natural history of churches. I like her other books too.

Epic is self-aware, intelligent and assertive. This apparently triggers some people to try to crush them.

Back in the 60s my parents moved the whole family from England to Australia - all the big furniture (including a piano) went in a shipping container made of wood (!!) which was just plonked by a crane onto the front lawn of the house we moved into in Ringwood. Once emptied, the timber was repurposed by Dad into the lining of the garage so he could put hooks & shelves anywhere not just into the structural supports. We moved out of there in 1988, and the lining timbers were just as good/bad as new. The timber was kinda hairy and shed splinters all the time, but was structurally strong. I wonder to this day just what that timber was and where it came from. I’ve never seen anything like it since. Nearest guess would be messmate, but this stuff didn’t warp like messmate does.

Maybe try some spots along the Murray River. I’m thinking Barmah (red gums) and maybe bits of Hattah-Kulkyne NP. Great birdwatching at both. Bearing in mind that the cold weather isnt too far away now.

For solitaire, try this one - worldofsolitaire.com - ads easily blocked and it’s free. I’ve never had any trouble muting sound or choosing other options/settings. Has easy versions and difficult versions of most of the games.

Update address databases. That’s a good makework/look busy go to. Has stood me in good stead over many many years. It always looks impressive if you start at the END of the alphabet - to casual inspection it looks like you’ve made a lot of progress. The tail end of the alphabet is usually the last one to be done so usually needs quite a lot of love too.

Print out the noise level requirements including times etc. from your council OR the EPA. Attach to a polite note from you saying you have a toddler that sleeps very lightly and would appreciate it if the noise could be limited after XX time. Leave in letterbox.
If nothing happens, then record a loop of a brass band playing Colonel Bogey (look it up) at full volume, and play that over the fence whenever the noise level next door gets too loud too late. It’s nearly the most offensive tune I know. Be aware that neighbourly noise disputes can lead to knife attacks, so I reckon starting softly is the way to go. They might not realise that this country has noise limits delineated by time. And a nice ‘offishul’ document might be a good starting point. - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: Tuesday, 25 February 2025 2 weeks ago:

We’ve had a break in at our office overnight! So far nothing appears stolen, but the office is crawling with cops blowing fingerprint dust everywhere.

So sorry. Such a massive hurt when you try to do the right thing and it still goes pear-shaped. Hugs for all concerned.

Must have been a gift … I think it’s a cheese ball platter thingie. Verra verra kitsch. Almost worth keeping to put on the table for your kid’s 21st. Could raise a bit of $$ on ebay though - kitsch of this order is a thing.
