My gas safety check is now complete. I thought Mr Woof was going to have a stroke from the stress of having a stranger coming inside the house, but he has survived and is currently doing a full safety sweep of the house.

I only have one in the house, and that’s because Mr Woof brought it inside to show off his hunting prowess. I tried putting it in the bin, but he pulled it out again so it’s currently in the middle of the lounge room.

These are photos for places on Google Maps. My most viewed has 63,335 views, which really makes me question why I’m getting emails congratulating me on photos that have only reached 5!

I’m a bit jealous, I’ve never had much success with corriander. I am looking forward to when I have a permanent garden and can spend some time finding a spot it likes so I can leave it to self seed.

I often do the leaves in oil and freeze in an ice cube tray, it works well.

I just received an exciting message from Google:

“Your photos just reached a new milestone. They’ve now been reacted to over 5 times”

Five whole reactions, can I call myself an influencer now?

My web browser (Vivaldi) updated a few days ago and has now developed a very weird issue with Reddit. It’s registering where I touch the screen as being about 1cm higher than where it actually is, so I am randomly up/down voting posts and opening the wrong thing repeatedly. It’s very, very odd.

I am alive! Just feeling a bit flat and boring lately, so don’t really have anything to post about. Hopefully the longer days will perk things up a bit more 🙂

A large banana and a coffee, please.

Fortunately not the very next level, there were a few unlocks in between. But it went very quickly from scrounging every last gem to 100 million not being worth picking up.

The game I’m playing has a very steep increase in items I need to collect to get rewards. I started off needing 5 gems to get a reward, the next one needs 540 trillion.

A bowl of chocolate coated coffee beans, please.

I’m doing the same 90 seconds of work over and over, like an express Groundhog Day. I am cheerful towards callers until mid-morning, lose all ability for a positive customer service approach by lunch, expect to lose basic maths skills by mid afternoon and will have lost all but the most basic levels of speech by the end of the day.

Yeah, I’ve got a few things from there. I shop online and they have had the cheapest price a few times. They were really good sorting out a problem with my vacuum recently, which was great because LG were absolutely awful dealing with directly.

Something soft & comforting please.

The local anaesthetic has almost completely worn off now. I’ve been through the weird itchy phase and am now moving into the ‘ouch’ phase. Should things get too bad I have Oxycodene on hand. I just need to time it right so I’m not just about to operate any heavy machinery.

I have to go to the dentist this morning. It’s cold and wet outside and way to early and I really don’t wanna.

I guess I use a hybrid version. It’s as you go for the first part of the meal, then towards the end I’ll start focussing on making sure that everything is divided up into portions to make sure there is a bit of everything to go into each bite. I’m the opposite of the people who want all their food segregated and eaten separately, I want all meal components to have equal representation throughout the meal.

Today’s overnight oats were particularly delicious. Although I put so much fruit in them I’m starting to think I should refer to it as fruit salad with oats.

There is - I have one! It actually has a tower/stand that has the bag in it, you put it away on the stand and it opens the dust canister, sucks the dust into the bag and closes it again. I think you can have a robot vacuum that attaches to the same tower.

The one I have is an LG vacuum but there are other brands too.

I put a mandarin in my lunch bag a couple of days ago and ended up not eating it because I took some leave. I figured it would still be fine for a snack today, but I was very, very wrong. I haven’t seen such strong mould growth on a piece of fruit in a long time 😬
