7/10 - OK with a couple of guesses (both wrong)

Pepitas are nice. Different flavour to pine nuts but equally snackable. Use in pesto, roast gently and sprinkle with salt & chilli powder for snax. Add to salads etc. Grind to a paste and mix with tahini/lemon/garlic for a different hommous. Truth to tell, I like them better than pine nuts - more options to tweak the flavours.

Last chance to clean coats, pillows, blankets, doonas etc. before winter sets in. I’m aiming to do a search & destroy cleaning this weekend ready for Easter. Plus gardening if I still have the energy.

Yumm. Thanks chef!

Bit of a red flag that.

Fattoush salad and a couple of goat kebabs please.

??? Never heard of it/him/whoever. Have I missed out on something?

Green/underripe pumpkin can be eaten if cooked. Not as much pumpkiny flavour - more like apple but perfectly edible and def not poisonous.
Also, next weekend is going to be warm at 28 deg/29 deg so just may continue to ripen a bit more.

Granny Smith yes. Pink Lady, Gala, Yellow Delicious - no. Best to leave peel on though.

Chilly today, so a nice bowl of pho would be very pleasant please chef.

Um, don’t know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but … Read the manual carefully. Check to see if there’s an outlet valve that’s not working properly. Clean any outlet points/valves/tubes with a pipe cleaner (the coloured ones for craft work well) or straw size bottlebrush. Even a small blockage may mean that rinse/wash water is re-circulating when it shouldn’t be. Also air bubbles in the intake valve may prevent proper water circulation so poke a pipe cleaner in them too (gently).

Do not choose pure linen as a replacement - wrinkles even worse. Poly blend would stand up to washing if required though, so could be a good choice.

Tried that - now my head hurts.

4/10 note to self - pay more attention to local news

If it has black/brown fur and a white tail tip, then might be a rakali - not a rat as such.

Do yourself a favor - go the the nearest op shop/Vinnies/Sacred Heart. They ALWAYS have a shittone of backpacks for purchase at very reasonable prices. Quite high end ones too. Just check any purchase for freeloaders before taking home. Or vacuum and freeze to kill any such freeloaders.

Sometimes all you can do is listen
Yes, sometimes that’s all you can do. And it matters - matters a lot. She needed you to be there to hear her. It hurts to be there but keep listening. Feels.

Step 1 - check wallet. If empty, then yes you have bought the car.
Step 2 - check wallet. If full, then you may not have bought the car.
Step 3 - check wallet. If half empty, did you buy anything else?

Get a brightly coloured glasses case if offered. Bright ones are much much easier to find when you need your glasses.

This does not account for the jam, or the karmic effect incurred in cleaning up the mess. Which is a very high value as sticky jam plus glass splinters is major. Jam by itself - wipe it up. Glass by itself - sweep/vac & blutack. Both, however, is an existential crisis as the mess can neither be wiped nor swept. Even rubber gloves are not safe from the splinters. And don’t even mention the vacuum cleaner.
On the other hand, underwater magpies has incurred a major karmic benefit in cleaning it up. This far outweighs the serendipitous collection of a clean empty jar. I wonder how the universe will balance the scales.

I think I need some of Roo’s strengthening medicine. Any suggestions?

You have more than 2 years experience - this requirement is basically about getting to work on time on all scheduled days. Industry irrelevant.

Yeah, tucking does depend a bit on how much ‘vigorous exercise’ happens too.

Um, I know it hurts, but the pumpkins are unlikely to ripen. Ditto tomatoes. It’s not the temperature, its the day length. The equinox is past and the days are getting shorter so plant puts one last effort into fruiting then keels over. Maybe leave them another week just to see. They do look nice & healthy though.

Where go?
- Comment on Discussion Thread 🦆 Monday 31 March 2025 2 weeks ago:
Flat sheets are my go to. I hate the dodgy elastic too. Protip - when putting a flat sheet on as a bottom sheet, tuck in the top edge first with a generous flap under the mattress. Then it is less likely to wrinkle into a puddle over the course of a week.
There is also the old time method of using last week’s top sheet as the next bottom sheet, so only 1 sheet per bed has to be washed each week.
