Happy Solstice for lunchtime today!

Trying to decide if I want a Continental breakfast or a Modified American breakfast or a Full English breakfast. Chef, could you please roll the dice and provide accordingly? Not if it’s too much trouble of course.

I think you’ve got most of it right. Grog is helpful as chestnuts can be a bit dry and floury. Not that this is a problem, just a glass or three of the old nasty helps the medicine go down.
Skyclad is strickly for summer imo. Also if doing skyclad, then watch out for impertinent echidnas. They’re a bit of a menace. I think they’re in league with the fundamentalist christians.
Lots of singing helps the sun return too. So bring out your favorite playlist and have at it!! - Comment on Discussion Thread 🌞 Thursday 19th day of June 2025 2 days ago:
Yep. Used to do them for putting round the sides of birthday cakes for the boys. In football team colours. And to satisfy my bloke’s toffee addiction. Very fun and very pretty. They look lovely as christmas tree decorations.

Try Preston Market. The out of date/out of stock re-sellers sometimes have bags of boiled lollies that are perfect for stained glass bikkies.

Just got home from work. EOFY sucks the big one. Kill me now. (after I’ve had this glass of wine that magically leapt out of the fridge and into my hand) Really should eat something. Later.

saladas with a thin smear of vegemite, and weak black tea is very good at settling a grumbly tummy.

Cheesus! Pepperoni is preserved, goddamit. If no one dies or gets sick, the preservation worked.

Hot & spicy soup please, with crusty bread.

Please be very careful of those all-in-one build/finance packages - they don’t have a good success record. Please check out the quality of their previous builds too. And any past bankruptcy/business failures too for the builders. Phoenixing a building company to cover up past defaults is all too common. Get some advice from your accountant BEFORE you sign anything, and be very clear about your rights if the builders go broke or otherwise default before completion. Or vanish after completion leaving serious structural repairs that need to be done to make the place liveable. Please.
Too many people get caught out by an industry that for a very long time now has depended on a kind of reverse ponzi scheme. It works fine for a bit, but any tiny change in for example materials supply can bring the whole thing crashing down. And with the world in such turmoil and supply chains in such chaos, it seems very difficult to predict what will happen over the next few years.

Fukkit. The sun is shining, the wind has dropped. The washing is done and the house clean. There’s a new caff in Miller St where TickledPink used to be. I’m going out for brunch. I may have a wine or two with it then doze the afternoon away.

Have read several murder mysteries where the beignets were the killer - arsenic in the powdered sugar. And on one occasion Mrs omitted to add the usual arsenic to the sugar and Mr (abusive) died of the withdrawal symptoms. No evidence of poison he he. Mrs was smart.

Those are much bigger and bright yellow and black. Don’t know the one in the pic.

Do they serve beignets?

Check useby date. If the mix was fried, then the oil may have gone rancid and nothing will fix it.

Cake please bacon, and champagne.

Irl cake day today for me. We are insanely busy at work so won’t celebrate until the weekend. EOFY is weird this year - weirder than normal and people are doing strange things with their money. Profitable for us, but I wonder at the fallout later on.

Interesting. I think LowExperience has made a couple of very good points here. There’s still more to do, and while there is, then having a dedicated time period to highlight the issue has some value. I find rainbow washing or black washing or green washing etc. fairly disgusting, mostly because of the exploitation factor. But then, the advertising industry and generally commerce is built around finding a demographic and targeting it. You can’t blame pond scum for being green and slimy, its just how it is, and if it wasn’t like that it wouldn’t be pond scum.

YES! Also decorate the table with some bitter almonds …

Yeah, I saw that too but refrained from commenting here. Trial by Media is definitely a thing, and the current mushroom case is imo a prime example, and there are some people on this platform who have already made up their minds as to Erin’s guilt even though the trial isn’t over yet.
I am also old enough to remember the Azaria Chamberlain hooha too. Funny how this sort of thing happens to plain women who don’t mirror the prevailing social norms for looks and/or behaviour. And has for centuries - the Spanish Inquisition, the witchhunt crazes of 16th & 17th century Europe and probably before then too.
Not news, what’s news is that this article was written so soon after the successful accusation and ‘punishment’. Usually there’s a time lag of several decades eg Lindy Chamberlain. Or centuries - eg witchhunts.
