Think we’ve caught a minor cold or something. Body temp a bit all over, and feeling very tired and foggy. Weird taste.
And I’ve started the fucking rag today. One of the worst organs ever, I may as well have a very angry gremlin with knives for fingers in there, for what it feels like.
And I’m expected to just, go out and not look like I’m in pain? Pfft, I say. PFFFTTTTTT!
hugs 🍫🍪
I have discovered I am excessively prejudiced when making decisions about what media to consume. I was reluctant to watch a new show recommended to me because the lead actor had a moustache. I decided with reluctance to give it a few minutes, and after it opened with the same actor jogging topless and I suddenly developed a desire to give it at least a few episodes.
Then today I was looking at library books and lost all interest in looking further at one when I say the author’s name was Christian. This over-enthusiastic judgement based on absolutely nothing may be the reason I have so much trouble finding things I want to watch/read.
Man it’d suck being a cat around someone that can’t stop randomly sneezing…
The void concurs
Miss Meow doesn’t care much about sneezes, as long as she is not directly on the lap. Mr Woof however considers it prudent to evacuate to another room in case there are further explosions to follow.
By the time I open my eyes after sneezing, she’s gone lol
or coughing a lot 😔
What a beautiful sunny day.
Imma be out there getting those rays. 🌞🌞🌞
Boyo and I went for a book walk around the local park and sat by the pond for lunch. It was glorious out there!
Perfect gardening day. Time to get the winter chores done.
Had a few drinks and played cards with friends last night. They bought me a cake and sung happy birthday. Such a good night. Today I’ll be moving furniture.
Sounds wonderful. 🥰
It was!
But was it your birthday !!!
It’s was on Friday.
good night everyone, sweet dreams 😘
Have been watching Big Mistakes this afternoon. Absolutely batshit insane fun, I’m half way through and have no idea where the hell its going to go.
It was really good. I didn’t find it all that funny but it had a great storyline.
Hair dye day. Stand by for the bath looking like I axe murdered a Smurf in a vat of borscht.
Gumption gets rid of dye stains. Even red.
I should too but really have to do some allergy tests first 😔
Suddenly developing an allergy to my silly colours would be a nightmare scenario. Fingers crossed for you.

Quite the bizarre night though. No longer md but nangs now.
What a downgrade lol
Kids these days… heh.
Ah, nangs. A short-lived high with a side order of possible nerve damage, paralysis, incontinence and death. May also cause a desire for whipped cream.
Plus the new big bottles that are popular get dumped on the side of the road frequently and random people phone the fire brigade thinking they are dangerous hazardous waste and that’s annoying.
not possible damage, there will be damage and it’s permanent because it’s physical damage, of course it depends on how much they use
I see the big bottles dumped at parks on the weekend and the beaches are strewn with balloons 😔
so all you baking mavens
I bought a new baking tray with twelve small molds for individual cakes, but they are deep
and hints on how to grease the molds so the little cakes come out whole?
I can’t put paper in as the molds are decorative
I was thinking lots of butter and then some flour to dust the inside
The classic method is to grease the moulds generously (lard or butter), then add 1 tablespoon of caster sugar evenly mixed with one tablespoon of flour. You can add powdered spices to this if liked - like cinnamon, mace, nutmeg. Shake to distribute and tap the mould while rotating so that ALL surfaces are covered evenly. Tap out any excess onto paper and store for re-use. Then pour in batter carefully so as not to disturb the coating. After the cake/whatever is baked, the coating forms a crust of gorgeous brown crispyness that helps keep the cake fresh. This method works on both stick and non-stick bakeware. The more seasoned your bakeware is, the better the result. I recommend using a plastic spatula to gently loosen the cakes from the mould before turning out if the moulds are new. The more you use the moulds, the more seasoned they get and the easier it is to turn out the cakes.
thank you, I think I can do this 👍😘
Olive oil spray.
That’s pretty much what I do for my mini bundts (6 to a tray). A silly amount of butter, and chill the tray so it stays outside the batter. No idea if this works non dairy. Maybe lard?
thanks, chilling the tray is a great tip 🙂
Unsalted butter + flour for sweet. Salted butter/preferred oil + flour for savoury.
That would be what I would do, after I wasted cutting baking paper and realising it won’t work lol
ok, never knew abut the salted and unsalted choice 👍
I might add a little fine sugar and cinnamon to the dusting flour, would that work?
I think so, but sugar has a habit of caramelising and becoming stickier. I’d stick with flour, as I’d be worried about sticky melted sugar in the pan. But I think combined with flour, it should be okay - I’ve never tried it tbh
ok, no sugar
I have a cold/flu.
Lame.
That aside my mate from high school came round and we jammed for a few hours. Was fucking awesome!!!
Finally convinced him it’s worth doing an album.
hugs for cold/flu, rest because this one is tenacious
and YESSS music.
🙂🎶🎵🎤
Sounds like a plan :)
Yeah it’s exciting! Once winter is over I’ll be back doing solo stuff again.
Oops. Inadequate moisturiser application results in blue ears. And a stupid policy requires in person attendance at the office tomorrow.
Alcohol can get it off. Well, it gets purple direct dye off my ears.
WTF?! The crunchy noises would drive anyone bonkers
it’s only for a little while
also, wear a hat to the office
in goodish news
weight loss continues albeit slowly, I also have abs of steel and better posture from all the coughing
