More redundancy news here. Whilst I’m still glad it’s not me, it also makes you wonder about the future. A good reminder to never give too much at work

Erin Patterson’s appeal went well 🤣
There is something very satisfying about someone appealing their sentence and getting a harsher one.
Good. It’s what she deserves ✨
To use an old turn of phrase: She got rekt.
I can only hope she’s not foolish enough to go through with going to the High Court.
Sometimes the rubbish takes itself out.
Healing continues.
I am past shopping as a recreational activity. I was out getting some things on a list and thought to myself, This is such a waste of time. I would rather be at home studying or reading or writing something.
In the past it was a way to get out the house and it was a “safe” activity
Got any nice walks in your new diggs?
Not really, there’s a walk down Skeleton Creek, it goes to a mangrove swamp/mud flats . It is infested with tiger snakes.
But the little suburban area is nice, nice and interesting gardens and the locals are very nice, so I walk around
I haven’t explored much around here yet.
I mostly walk the burbs, it’s not the beach but it’s still nice.
yes, it’s still nice 🙂
I like to look for houses about to be demolished then raid their gardens for flowers before the excavator gets there. Just spoke to a bloke that bought a house round the corner and he said once settlement goes through I can have free reign at his many many clivia that he’ll otherwise have ripped out and tossed.
Pakidge! It must be my new doorbell camera. I stuffed up when I made my initial order and accidentally got the model which does not have a changeable battery, I have to take the whole thing down and have no doorbell while it recharges. So I’ve bought another of the same model, so I can just swap the whole doorbell over.
AITA: Doing a click-and-collect order on a $5 item that is in stock, I can’t find on the floor and the service desk can’t help me find in the back.
NTA. I couldn’t find the IKEA garlic press in store so CnC’d one. Now I CnC everything because the store is so difficult.
modern problems require modern solutions
I did that for something from Officeworks once. It worked out well and no one batted an eyelid when I picked it up. But I’ve done a free delivery order for 30c before, so maybe ITA
Fucking hell.
Someone check on brian blessed and ian mckellan
what…<checks>…oh no. Patrick Stewart. Fuck dementia.
Also - can’t believe he was 86! How freakin’ old is William Shatner?!
He stays healthy by eating cereal in the car whilst driving
But I fear he will be undone by his love of flash fried turkey
95
He’s the last living cast member of The Nuremberg Trials movie . I would love to hear , or even do an interview. Apparently he’s still quite with it and has good memory.
Maybe I should write out some questions and send them to his agent. Then publish?
he’s like Olivia de Haviland or Vera Lynn, he’s gonna live forever and people go “wait fucking what”
You totally should!!
Okay. 🙂
I bought some new whitening toothpaste. It is dark blue. It is very weird brushing with a mouthful of blue foam.
Kinda accustomed to this from blue conditioner in hair bleach kits
It’s the same colour as the blue conditioners. I think that actually makes it worse, it feels wrong to have it in my mouth!
Gottcha. Logic, brains, nope.
I have a whitening kit I should use. I’m taking a vape break soon. I can link the habits. Thx for the reminder.
If it smells/tastes of mint, it’s all good. Whatever the colour.
I made some hummus with avocado, guac-hummus? it’s fkn great.
Can chick peas, 1/2 avocado, lemon, garlic, onion, jalapeno, salt, white pepper.
Hummusole
That sounds delicious!!
sound delicious
I will jot this down to make 🙂
Its more of a jist than recipe so play with it.
help. Sammy won’t stop opening things. He’s just opening everything he can get his little ginger paws on and leaving them open as some kind of flex.
HE’S WORKED OUT HOW TO OPEN THE FUCKING NINJA
I can only laugh in solidarity.
Its all fun and games until you find that noodly bastard has opened the dresser and is frolicking in your underwear
Not cashmere sweaters? My parents’ cat used to make a beeline for the sweaters if there was even a hint of thunder in the air.
Oh I have an old dressing gown that’s specifically in the back of the wardrobe for that. I’ve had it for 40 years, terry towelling, they love it.
Anyone want anything from the shops?
A shitton of cokes. I’ve got five days off and a wraparound bookcase to build.
A nice sharp cheddar and a radish please
A dozen eggs, 200g of some nice ham and 500ml cream please. If quail eggs are available that would be nice but these are strickly optional. I feel a quiche of some description coming on.
Quiche of quail would be obscenely decadent!
Yep. Hard boil the quail eggs and add them into the filling with lumps of ham. Best quiche lorraine eva!
Gosh!
Discovered this when my employers tried growing quails one year and had an obscene surplus of eggs, so they gifted me a whole bunch. This was far and away the best recipie for quail eggs I found out of the whole episode.
I’ve always wanted to keep quail or tiny spotted chooks. But space & council rules etc.
Yeah, its a problem. I’d love to have a couple of chooks, but my backyard isn’t big enough and council doesn’t like them in the front yard. Also high risk of being eaten by foxes and/or stolen. There are squillions of foxen around Thornbury thanks to Merri Creek and the tramways depot.
Ooooh thank you! Quiche coming up!
Anyone happen to have Dracula: Dead and Loving It on DVD or other forms of media? I finished listening to the new Audible version of Dracula this week and am craving Mel Brook’s brand of madness.

Thank you - found a decent quality YT!
No, I do not have it
but I do have 6 credits in Audible 🤔
I now have fewer credits
If you feel like spending one on the new Dracula, it is (mostly) great fun!! I enjoy media that doesn’t portray Dracula as a Sex God - though one might be fooled by the social media campaign. I especially like Aimee Lou Woods as Lucy and Francis Lovehall as Arthur.
have done 🙂 once I finish the book I’m on now, the second Babylon Berlin book, I’ll listen to Dracula
This book I’m listening to now, has very seriously creepy passages of a serial killer , it’s quite chilling 😟

RIP Sir Patrick Stewart. 86. He seemed like a kind man.
Wat
Noooo 🙁
And another one bites the dust. Will be much missed. I loved the way he played Picard.
🙁
So sad.
Alas, not invincible
Helllooo…
From the other side… I must’ve called a thousand times…
Is it meee you’re looking for
Couldn’t possibly be
