True. But I’m betting on this bloke knowing what he’s doing, given how beautiful his roses are year after year.

Yeah, roses like being treated meeeeaaan.

Expressed as an absolute distance? Or as a percentage of the available hallway length? Also bowl quality and materials - ceramic would be significantly harder to shift than Temu steel/aluminium. And hallway floor covering - carpet or boards or rugs? Hard to standardise into a sporting event I think. Would be fun to watch tho.

PSA: The bloke down the road that grows the most AMAZING roses has just hard pruned his roses back to practically bare stumps. As has his chief rival further down the street. Hmm - gardening is on the agenda this weekend methinks.

I never in all my born days thought this would happen. But on reflection, the article makes a good point about confluent aspirations.

Er, quick oats are not pre-cooked. They are rolled thinner and ground up smaller so they cook very quickly. That is all. Unless the packet says of course.

The fresh air will do you good. Also ozone etc. Bundle up warm and do beach I reckon.

PO Will kits are very very basic. If your situation and requirements are more complex than ‘everything to X’, then you really do need to at least talk to a professional. Also, it’s very easy to invalidate your Will due to inadequate signing and witnessing. Signing and witnessing requirements are same for Will kits as for professionally drawn up Wills. Invalidation means that the Will is ineffective.

I’m loving the idea of the Libs as a minor party. Some consequences for the 2 party preferred system though - Anthony Green or young Mr Briggs will have to generate a whole new set of statistics …

Wills are replaceable. You can make one set of choices now, and change your mind later and make a new Will. This is actually recommended if you have significant lifestyle/situation changes - eg. retirement or divorce or serious illness. If cost is holding you back, some Will providers do a cheapie basic version that can be suitable for say, next 10 years or so. That buys you time to do serious estate planning.

Back when I was in cancer treatment, a few people (actually quite a lot of people) recommended turmeric tea/capsules to help settle a very disturbed digestive system. I took ONE dose and was spitting/shitting bright yellow for several days. This never happened when I cook with fresh turmeric root which I actually like. Stick with the real thing I reckon.

Frost on my neighbour’s roof this morning. Haven’t seen that before. Grass at tramstop was white with frost except for a ring around each tree roughly equal to the canopy of that tree.

Also stabilises the edge of knit fabrics - especially the really thin ones.
- Comment on Discussion Thread 🛸 Friday 16 May 2025 1 week ago:
Pretty much. Basically put a strip of masking tape along the cut edges, stitch to the seam allowance then rip off the tape from each side of the seam line. Holds the fabric flat and the feed dogs grip very well on it. Then it unzips beautifully. Use painters tape or masking tape as they leave no residue. Tape can be marked with biro for matching pieces together before seaming. Doesn’t work too well for rolled hems though. But for doing sheer curtains or other flat seaming it’s a game changer.

Masking tape is your friend here.

Yeah, back when I was starting doing these, I was told that a cryptic clue ALWAYS had two parts - one indicating the meaning and the other the method. Part of the puzzle was working out which was which. And to be alert for puns: a flower does not necessarily have roots in the ground - it could be water running downhill and so on.

Best clue in a cryptic I ever came across was 'Triumph for Mrs Mop" 8/7. I had _ _ e _ _ _ n _ / _ _ c _ _ r _ in the grid already.
answer
Sweeping victory

Complete shit. Mostly the underwear. And vastly overpriced for the ‘quality’. Don’t even bother with their socks/underpants - go to Kmart/Target for those. Kmart has good bamboo fibre socks, my last lot from there has lasted about 3 years on high rotation which is good for socks I reckon. Bonds still has reasonable trackie daks and hoodies.

Better chance of a good outcome there than in the suburbs. Wishing her the very best of luck.

Autocorrect strikes again! Betcha it was ‘disused’. Or possibly used for storing medical samples in petri dishes.

If you like phoenix feet, then jellied eels hits some of the same vibe. Eel is a red meat, and the jelly is rich in umami. One of the great ‘looks like shit, but tastes great’ dishes.

Waxing the leather will preserve it for practically forever. So waxing to match will mean that he NEVER has to buy another one. Could be a smart move.
