I see your perforated ladle (far left of bottom drawer) and raise you a pair of herb scissors (surprisingly useful and a bit of a fave). Now if I can only find them under everything else …

Ceremonial putting up of at least one shelf, or a single picture if you want the Clayton’s option.

Impressed. Mine take up at least 2 drawers, and the least use stuff in a separate box in a cupboard.

Ow. Debating food is not nice at all. Hope you feel better soon.

Yep. Know it well. For a while, the State Revenue Office had it’s customer service centre there (alas no longer extant). Went there a lot. Personally, I’d choose this spot to bury a few pharoahs for future reference.

Hope you feel better soon. Maybe do a RAT just to be sure if you haven’t already.

Loved this group back when I was a teen, but listening to them again recently - there’s a creepy vibe about Peter. Not so much Paul and Mary. They could have made more use of Mary’s glorious voice too. Kind of a strange feeling looking back on their career.

In my experience, appliances wait until all service personnel are on holiday to break down. Then they magically start working again as soon as the ultra-exxy emergency repair person sets foot in the house.

Thank you.

I think I’d like a vegemite lollipop and a fruit burger please.

Mine is ‘chop chop!’ With some emphasis. Next level down is ‘Let’s pronto this’.

That may be the saddest thing I’ve heard of all year.

Lovely! There will be enough to make lots and lots of potato roses for xmas dinner.

Can I please have all the potat that Force doesn’t want.

I think you need to learn the words of this little gem (sometimes I just LOVE the YT algorithm) Battle Hymn of the Retail Worker at Xmas

Sorry, fixed it now I think. Let me know if I didn’t.

Why don’t they play THIS in the shops. Instant customer identification is very high indeed.

There are names for people who do that.

Decisions decisions.
My boss just told me that the xmas do is this afternoon - but I also have a pre-existing dentist appointment for late this afternoon and there’s no possibility of re-scheduling it to a pre-xmas slot. Will have to wait until the new year at least.
So, dentist or xmas party? - so far the dentist is winning.

Colesworth et al have been pushing this for a couple of years now. It’s a way to stretch 2 steaks over 3 or 4 people without them noticing or feeling deprived, courtesy of catering magic. Check out any of the coles or woollies magazines over the last 2 years - all the steaks are pre-cut into strips. It’s becoming normal to not serve any one person a whole steak all to themselves. And the supply of steak on the bone has dropped dramatically in the stupormarkets.

10 deg C! Grrrrrrr.

Salt. Specifically (in this context) the salt of sweat.
Seriously, if the cloud cover persists then the temp will probably stay low. As soon as the sun comes out the temp will soar. Looking at windy.com the cloud cover is pretty patchy so I don’t hold out much hope for a reduced temperature.

Dance? Maybe a course of swing dance or classic rock & roll - excellent for balance, timing as well as aerobic/cardio. Quite a few short courses around - and most you don’t need to bring a partner. Plus there’s the music aspect. And its a whole lotta fun.
I’ve never done yoga, but there are a lot of different kinds - some are pretty extreme physically and some are more meditative. Pilates is popular and there’s a lot of places around.

Look up the Backyard Chef on YT - he’s a patronising bastard, but his recipes are legit and his rice pudding is sublime! An old fashioned plain cook and a very good one. What he can with 3 potatoes, half a cabbage and a rasher of bacon is little short of astounding.
I like a good rice pud - but a bad one is truly horrible and I can quite see why it might not have suited you back then. Let me know if you want the recipe that I use.
