Saw a Tawny Frogmouth on the dog walk this morning. First one I’ve seen in my area.
awesome , they are so cool
I startled it in my neighbours pear trees. It flew into a gum and tried the If I’m very still I’m invisibile trick.
so cool, sounds like you got an up close view
In the tree, might be hard to see. Right middle.
I love these guys! Such an odd looking bird. We get them in the larger trees in my local park.
CT Scan came back clear, headache is still present though. Spent nearly 13 hours in bed, just sleeping on and off. Glad work has been very understanding!
🫂
That’s no good. I really hope some cause can be found or something helps
so many hugs
happy it came back clear, hope your headaches get better real soon
Attempt was made. The recipe said to simmer the tomato base for five minutes and it should be ready for the eggs, but because I used crushed tomatoes, it took longer. Will report back after taste test. I'm just glad I actually made something, even if the capsicum wasn't julienned.
mmmmmshakshukaaa
That looks fantastic
Would totally smash that
that looks delicious
Shakshouka? Good choice. I’d have it with bread, hommus and yoghurt. I put hommus on most things though.
I look forward to your spaghetti bolognaise adventures. Then move on to lasagna …
Tomato paste is KING.
Thank you. I think my next dish will be Pad Thai though, but spagbol does sound like a good idea.
That looks so good, and I’m sure it tastes amazing!
Would smash that
Meeting with the place I do contract work for just finished. I asked for a bigger fee % for most types of projects I handle for them, plus now was the time to go for it with their resource shortages. I was pretty nervous about this meeting, but prepared and I made my case. Now I wait to hear what they say. If they say no, then I’ll just pick up less new projects and they can deal with the resource shortfall themselves. It’s not going to become my problem when they don’t incentivise me.
I hope it works out. For what it’s worth, I think you did the right thing.
Goreamn aramex. Offically "onboard for delivery " for a week
why do people use these cunts
I found the pic I took of one of the strays the day before I started feeding them. They were mostly still kittens.
They grow up so fast hey
My sewing machine is possessed. It’s running without the foot pedal connected!
🤔
Can the poltergeist be taught to follow a pattern?
I have rum, dried mint, and tarot cards available. Think they might help?
It works perfectly except having to stop/start with the power switch all of a sudden. Bloody bizarre.
Sacrifice a black chicken. Use the feathers to oil the machine. It’s nearly still the full moon so maybe that will help. Would recommend using henbane or wolfsbane rather than dried mint. Drink the rum, and then you won’t care. Put the tarot cards away in case they get hurt.
That only applies to mechanical sewing machines. The ritual for the computerised ones is ‘turn it off, then turn it on again’. If this ritual doesn’t work drinking the rum is still the appropriate next step.
Oh this is mechanical, from about 86. Now about that chicken…
Put frozen chicken on its side in a stock pot. Add full jar of honey, and about a litre of low salt soy sauce (Aldi!) to cover chicken. Add cold water if you don’t have quite enough to cover the bird. Drop in about a hands worth of peeled garlic cloves. Bring up to a simmer very very slowly, then simmer for 1 hour, turning chook over half way. Be sure to simmer very gently. Retrieve chicken and sacrifice by eating it however you wish. Hot or cold. It will be blaaaack and yummmmmm irrespective of feather colour. Strain and save the liquid and freeze in cubes to add to soups stews etc. It will set to a jelly if you don’t want to freeze it right away. The chicken meat done this way is damn good (best tacos ever!) but the real joy is the liquid - it’s AMAZING as an ingredient.
That sounds delicious. I’ve always loved the jelly in even a leftover chook.
Machine still being stupid. Mechanic required.
The forecast is for a pleasantly relaxed work day. Nice

I’m going to have to get a physio -_-
Boyo has a Zoom interview shortly and is not amenable to the suggestion he change out of a t-shirt for a sex toy shop. Hopefully coffee will kick some sense into this.
Is the interview at sex toy company?
If not, that is definitely a choice.
It was not. He has also now Glassdoor’d them and declared NOPE so Nevermind
Oh wow…that good of a company?
I’m assuming low pay, high turnover and stupid targets to meet?
Yelling & threats apparently
In an interview?!? That’s a great way to sell your brand.
No 😜 reported as common at worksite
Shit sleep club roll call.
I actually went okay last night 🙏

so early this morning I woke up with a headache again, this sucks
time to take action, do all the things I can to give myself a comfortable sleep and no headache. Switch off fan, put long hair in plait at night, be sure to sleep in comfortable position, turn down brightness on all devices , relax, have a nicely made bed, listen to relaxing things
Yuuuuup but that’s every night these days lol
My superpower is I always have good sleeps.

Here too… Must’ve been something in the atmosphere.
Why was it so stuffy? I woke up at about 1am and couldn’t sleep. Checked the weather and it was 18 degrees. Felt like 30. Maybe I should’ve opened the window
packing continues
we were all too tired to cook so we had fish and chips, I’ll cook tomorrow
the beach calls but I have a headache
maybe wait until the panadol kicks in
Convinced the team to go to a nice winery for a tour and lunch because why not? There is every possibility we could actually do something there so you could say it’s justified. They were impressed at the very least
very nice 🙂
