Erk. Monday forecast has upped to 42 deg. Cool change in late evening.

Dang me, dang me, they oughta take a rope and hang me.

She is beloved by anyone with perfect pitch. Even most opera singers can’t hit a note the way she can. And it was all pre-auto tune which imo makes it all the more impressive.

Aldi has a good selection of these. I like the havarti and the maasdam, but my all time fave was the Lindenberg. Sadly not in stock atm.

Me too. I basically kidnapped my brothers’ Meccano sets. Hours of good clean fun and many bandaids for the cuts you get from the razor sharp edges.

EDIT: its precise not sharp - still cuts though if you don’t handle it carefully.

Jelly slice. Haven’t seen one of those for aaaages. They’re yum too.

It done come out of nowhere too. Garden is loving it.

Work recently ‘upgraded’ to Xero for pay/timesheets/leave etc. Only public holidays don’t load properly. I have let management know just how I feel about that. Requesting leave actually works pretty good though.

Potat is very nutritious. Go for it.

Waaaaahh! Where will I get shoes now?

All good here on my ancient laptop

It’s escaped my attention until now, but next Monday is a public holiday. We have a long weekend coming up!!! Yippee!

Yumm.

Team Kelpie. Pissed off that there’s no Team Heeler.

This is sooooo tempting.

Yeah, I love dissecting the package to see just what’s in it.

Piedmonte’s in North Fitzroy does nice fresh home cooked meals packaged for one - ready to heat and eat. I’ve lost count of the number of chicken stroganoffs with rice & veg I’ve bought when I cbf cooking. Their lasagne is meh, but the porchetta with noodles & veg meal is pretty legit too. Also their Italian Rice Salad - which is deeeelicious when heated up a bit in the microwave. They also do a nice roast chook too - bit heavy on the salt for my taste but always well cooked and juicy. They also sell vacuum packs of the ends of the smallgoods rolls all chopped up and ready to go on pizza or whatever. Yummmmm. Very cheap way to enjoy very expensive smallgoods. Like $4 will buy 300g of a variety of amazing sausages like regional calabrese and sopresso and expensive wood smoked hams of various sorts all costing over $30 per kilo and some of them over $70 per kilo. Great way to add amazing flavour to stews and cottage pies and stir fries and things.

Pricing generally is a touch above Colesworth standard but worth it if you cbf cooking. They price their just before due date meat very well, and I’ve had a lot of delicious bargains from them. Particularly the flat iron steak which is a fab fave of mine. I tend not to buy veg/fruit from them as Psarakos Market is better and cheaper, but for ready meals and meat Piedmonte’s is excellent. They also stock 1000 lire pasta as ready meals as well as the usual suspects like Corelogic - these are nice but pricey. Good range of vego and vegan stuff too.

The Miller St IGA has a limited range of fresh stuff, and has a good range of frozen stuff but don’t bother going there for a major shop of ingredients. Good for emergencies when you can’t be arsed going further afield. Their range of speciality chocolate is impressive. Good stock turnover, which makes me think that people are shopping there quite a bit even if I don’t.

I’m missing my local bakery, which is on holiday until late January - their banh mi is superb! Also their tiger rolls. Only 8 days to go until they’re back in business. Can hardly wait.

Not really. Scientology is far worse than honest Satanism imo. Cos Scientology is based on a fundamental lie.

Is Satanism one of the options?

Dwarf lemon would def fit - thanks for the idea!
