Ooooh…ok this is HAPPENING. That will be Tues/ Wednesday. I will report back

Beautiful. 'Twas a glorious day for driving and snuffling round the bush

oooh spicy peanut sauce! YAAS. Lately I’ve been grating a carrot+zucchini and tossing it in the wok with onion, peanut butter, soy and brown sugar. Then toss through some noodles or rice. But peanut sauce on roast veges might be a good change.

And yeah, once a year about this time I go ‘yay pumpkin’ then I eat a bunch and go back to sweet potato. I do like some pumpkin soup, or a pumpkin rissoto.

I’ve gone with a bit of a meditarranean stew (mainly because I need to disguise eggplant’s texture!) cooked some white beans, mixed with the eggplant, then did an onion/capsicum/tinned tomato and garlic saute and put it all in the oven. Might roast a potato on the side too.

Roasted and peeled the red and half the green capsicum and mixed with chilli oil and balsamic vinegar as another side.

thanks to me mistiming things and an empty fridge because I was away all week, I had a three course freezer meal:

3 gyoza to start freezer fish in the oven sweet potato chips (when they crisp up) with sweet chilli and sour cream

Oh and a gin and tonic for sides and, a handful of jelly beans for dessert.

ooh, its more like a five course old-greeeeeegs degustation menu…

Oh yeah! You gotta have that contrast. I used to have dark hair but as it’s gone lighter those brows are suddenly a thing. Otherwise I am blergh. Brows and lippy these days. I do miss dark but can’t be arsed with upkeep since lock downs

Oh yeah, I’m so white I’m pale blue (to paraphrase Billy Connolly). Could definitely still work but I have no tips!

I am enjoying the world of accent colours the more grey I get overall

Question 3 is deliberately misleading and wrong. It should be ‘24 hour ticket’. I wouldn’t hyphenate at all (see Goonsey) and no-one writes out time like that. In fact the classic “elements of style” which is a writing bible says you should use numerals for numbers greater or equal to 10 and write them out in words less than that.

That question is some stupid twat adult getting their kicks by making 14 year olds squirm. Or an adult who doesn’t know their grammar.

☕☕

Housesitting this week which means I have a backyard momentarily. Am making to most of it and working outside in the sun. Need to find myself a good spot near home in the sun/nature that I can go to work sometimes because this is nice.

Heeeeeeee…a…heeeheeheee…🎶

Yeah… you haven’t lived until you accidentally killed a plant or two with over watering. If you have access to (dry) soil you can try pulling out the plant, chopping off any mushy bits and repotting.

If you want to go down a youtube rabbit hole this is my favourite YouTube gardener person https://youtube.com/@plantswithkrystal?feature=shared

I bought myself a sneaky wine in the sun and was about to go home but then the singer started and I happen to be the the only person in the courtyard… It would be rude to not have another drink …(plus she is really good)

Oh crap I did not mean to delete. Fat thumb moment. Was just saying hugs and take care

Hugs. If you can roll yourself up somewhere in the sun I recommend it. You aren’t alone in your feelings.

I read On The Beach a few years ago after the 2020 bushfires and at the start of COVID when I was feeling particularly hopeless. Basically its a classic about an impending nuclear winter - what happens when everyone find out they have six months to live. One of the side characters just carried on tending their little garden, planting out things that they would never harvest and in all probability would never grow. But it was her job - to tend her garden and she figured no-one knew any would be next so she might as well do this thing. She was totally at peace. I think about her a lot when I am in this headspace.

Watching the men’s climbing final and the commentary just kicked in halfway through the lead climbing (the boulders earlier had nothing but the PA st the arena…

…I think…someone at channel 9 just…forgot to flick a switch??

With or without the commentary it’s still awesome

Slowly is just fine.

I got there! How about you?
