It’s been a good year for grapes so far. Have been enjoying the black and sapphire grapes immensely. This year’s stone fruit - not so much.

And overhead foxtail.

That’s a puzzler alright.
- Comment on Discussion Thread 🏉 Wednesday 4 March 2026 5 days ago:
I wonder what it could possibly be used for?

Big glass turntable to fit in corner. Then you just swizzle it to access the nether regions. You can get these at 40cm or more wide.

I’ve put the aircon at work to ‘dry’ - really helps.

Check the air/water quality for your suburb - epa link and water quality reports
Might be an airborne pollution issue or a water quality one.

I’m assuming you’ve tried steamed eggs? Sauce on top can be anything she likes. Even a sweet sauce. Congee was a lifesaver for me when I had most of my teeth pulled out a couple of years ago - didn’t need chewing. Can be made sweet or savoury.

Enjoy! This calls for a celebration imo. With lots of 🍻🍻🍻 and some ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°).

Save some seeds from it for future plants.

Better the table than the pies.

Riiiiicccchhhhh in fibre, protein and other useful nutrients. Kinda tasteless by itself, but OK mixed into other things. Absorbs quite a lot of water so good for putting in stews that are too liquidy - same as cous cous. Agree that it does a good fill up and flush out of digestive system. Please note, raw seeds need to be rinsed well to remove bitter taste (saponins) before cooking unless packet says ready to cook on the label.

At least you’re not being refused “because you don’t have children” - apparently leave requests for parents get priority in some places. Nearly got trapped by that in one place I worked. Leave request approved, then suddenly cancelled because someone else had kids and wanted the same date range as leave. At the time, my workplace didn’t know I had a family too. I really enjoyed ripping them a new one over that.
Seriously, a bot probably has a standard time frame for booking leave requests - and your request might have been just outside it - is one month the same as 30 days? - depends on the month. And a ranked list of requests stacked up to fill once it got freedom to grant leave. This list might well be ranked within the organisation, by tenure etc. too. Your request might have been just below the cut off point in the allowed parameters.
Doesn’t make the situation any better or less aggravating.

That is a definition of skinny that I haven’t heard before!

Cut a couple of little slits in the top pastry before putting it on the pie. This allows steam to escape which is what usually causes splosions.

There’s a fair few rooftop bars around now - maybe one of those?

You have to be kidding. Even the paper costs a bundle nowadays. And gift wrapping is a fairly skilled art, even with squared paper, good cutting tools and good ribbon skills. I used to do Myer xmas wrapping temp jobs for a few years- it was a madhouse and extremely stressful. Even a charity would have to charge for the paper and ribbon etc. to make any money at all.

Pancakes for everyone! I like the idea of Galentines Day - so much more universally acceptable.

Mine is very boring. I’m a witch and I live in Thornbury. All my social media usernames are variations on this theme. Would have been worse if I lived in Ipswich. One day I shall re-invent myself, but at present I see no particular need to do so.

That’s the MINIMUM.
