First Just Joey is out:
Fave rose.
Edit: and to celebtrate I’m doing a shitload of mini dim sims for dins.
Just Joey! That’s my favourite rose too! Mum used to have an extensive garden with some of my favourites (Just Joey, Peace, Black Boy, Queen Elizabeth, Blue Moon among others) but this one was my favourite for its heady fragrance.
My mum has a few roses and Just Joey is the only one she knows the name of because it’s still got it’s tag on it.
That’s pretty. I don’t have any roses at the moment, I’ll live vicariously through yours. Is it scented?
Yea very strong (and nice) scent.
Has its own wiki lol.
Beautiful!
That is glorious. Apricot coloured double bloom. (?) Does it have a nice perfume like the Peace rose?
They smell amazing :)
That is so lovely.
Please blowtorch them lol
lol that reminds me I have to get more butane.
I will blowtorch one just for you :) Need to scratch that itch.
Thank you lol
What a gorgeous rose and an excellent way to celebrate!
I’m so fucking embarrassed that it took me this long to realise I haven’t been singing in my voices natural key. Which is why everything takes ages to learn.
Not any more it seems lol. I’m singing pretty much every song I like and it’s easy.
Learn music theory!
Ayyyy congrats!
I’ve learnt this lesson twice over now haha, once to know things were mysteriously easier around E# and then a second time to realise that was only the case when I started using chest voice properly and embraced being a baritone.
Joni Mitchell took 40 plus years to find out the same thing. She’d been singing falsetto all her life up till then.
I feel better knowing I’m in good company :)
So I froze margarita mix then ran it through the Creami and added tequila. Is a margarita daiquiri a thing?
Question of the day: When you take the old sheets off the bed do you refer to that as “stripping”? As in I’ve stripped the bed ready for the new sheets to go on later or do you call it something else or never thought about it.
Fuck I think that’s the 3rd time I’ve edited my spelling.
The bed’s naked now
Flay and spank it.
Oops, wrong thread
😂
The bed’s raw now.
That’s when you go to put the fitted sheet on without checking where the label is lol
Hate it when the bed ends up cooked.
When I crash at a friends I ask if they want me to strip or make the bed.
Yep, have always called it stripping the bed…
I’d say stripped the sheets if I haven’t put new sheets on the bed yet, once I’ve remade it I’d say I changed the sheets.
Always been taking the sheets off for me.
I flay the bed.
Interesting
Yeah I strip the bed and then with fresh linen I make the bed. (Though that’s meant to refer to putting it back in order in the morning. Maybe it should be make up the bed.) Or I simply ‘change the sheets/bedding’
I call it “stripping”. I suppose “changed the bed sheets” works as well, but I use “strip/stripping” 99% of the time.
My girlfriend has finally decided to check out bone conduction headphones. The whole time we’ve been together she would just play things on her phone constantly because she didn’t like things in or around her ears.
She decided to get some bone conduction headphones, completely unprompted given I have a spare pair she could have used. I might finally get some peace and quiet if she takes up using these
Warts on my toes are returning, which would be whatever, but there is now a small one forming on my FUCKING FINGERTIP!! Right on my fingerprint. Like, excuse me? We could have lived in peace, but this strain of HPV has forced my hand.
I bought a nitrous oxide freeze device from the pharmacy. I’m going scorched earth on their asses.
Edit: ha ha ha that was farked
B_R has a blowtorch, now Spud has an ice device. That’s fire and ice/water.
We need someone to get a leaf blower or compressed air gun for air and err… something for earth now so we can be elemental benders
Ceramics class? Pottery certainly qualifies as earth bending.
Maybe Taleya with the mortar trowel or a cement mixer
I’ll get the ryobi out of the shed for you if you like!
Oooooo yesss the water benders are my favourite in ATLA and Korra!
Did you do it to yourself?
Yes it’s this product https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/110936/endwarts-freeze-pen-7-5g
It is an unpleasant experience, but my partner has a weaker stomach than I so I did it to myself lol
In 14 days I’ll know if it worked or not (one application and then leave it for 14 days)
Oh dear. I have done the can and cotton bud version to the other half and to the child, but I’m not sure I could do it to myself.
another very early night tonight
gotta shake this sore back and virus
I go through this endless cycle of installing instagram, zoning out for ages, deleting it so I don’t do it again and then reinstalling a day or two later.
Good fucking lord those ikea induction plates go like the proverbial
Stove? If so, I agree. I’ve been very favourably impressed with my little induction one plate from Temple & Webster. So useful. Even has a porridge button which I thought very unusual when I got it but does just wonderful rice. The quick boil button is fair frightening how fast it is - at least as fast as a kettle.
The other thing I’ve noticed with induction is that it doesn’t seem to cause things like porridge or eggs to cook onto the bottom of the pan as much. I’ve got a gas stove here but use an induction hotplate for a lot of my cooking because it just works better. I also just use a stovetop kettle on it for boiling water, I don’t have an electric kettle.
My induction absolutely needs a soak for porridge because of a skin stuck to the bottom. It’s a very cheap hob rather than an actual stove top.
The portable little $42 induction hobs. 4l in a pot brought to boil in 6 minutes. Yowza
Bonus that i got my expanded clay balls sterilised much faster than i thought though XD
Induction does do that. It’s too bad that they tend to have the rather opposite problem where because they go so quickly, a lot of the time, the graduations aren’t fine enough to work with.
If it wasn’t for the fact that electricity was so expensive (3x the price for power, though an induction stove uses half as much), I’d not mind using an induction hob nearly all the time.
I need a roast but I also can’t be fucked going to get ingredients. There lies the dilemma.
YL’s Pick Up Service to be engaged?
She hasn’t graduated to picking out the perfect piece of meat yet.
Is she holding watermelons up and tapping them yet or is that a more advanced lesson?
She was born doing that. You should know this.
I have to admit it does seem genetic 🍉

It’s a good day. The woolies bins were full of tapioca pudding that hadn’t even been unpacked, and I’ve got a party today. Chocolate pudding for all!
It’s amazing what they throw out. After father’s Day one year I saw a guy going through the dumpy of my local Woolies pull out a gigantic package of roasting beef, and I mean huge, you’d maybe just fit it into the oven of a small stove like mine. His two dogs certainly looked very appreciative 😁
it blows my mind that colesworth put their clearance prices at like 15 cents below full price. no wonder so much food goes to waste.
Oh yeah, I wasn’t alone. The lady I ran into there took off with a huuuuge tray of shaved ham, a roast chicken and some massive steaks
Post free stuff on FB, get a password reset attempt notification at 1am. Thanks Arseholes.
I have not been .😞
Washing done. Dishes done.
I’m off to the market, and then to get my hair cut
some christmas decorations are already up in stores. thank goodness halloween exists, as a powerful brick wall to stop the christmacization of wesfarmers and colesworth from occuring even earlier.
You just need to stop going to the shops, then you won’t have to deal with it. Also no Christmas carol exposure!
Three reasons to love Christmas:
- Spending time with the people we love
- Partaking in our favoured vices
- Whamageddon
- Penalty rates
I think I’m winning Whamageddon. My avoidance of shops means I don’t have any Christmas carol exposure, I don’t think I’ve heard that song for years.
