    Hello, I've been reading about the fediverse as a distraction from looking for a job. Hopefully this is a good place to jump in.

    Welcome! We're a weird mob but pretty nice at least most of the time. Do you have a cat?

    Had a wholesome moment with the cleaning lady that p's get yesterday. She'd be mid 60's chinese. Was pulling some chillies off the tree for her and she came out really enthusiatic asking about it for 10 mins telling me all the different parts of the tree in mandarin lol.

    She was trying to haggle me for how many she could have. We went from 30 to 70. I lost but I had nothing that would work against her strategy.

    Gig is tonight 🎸. Everything packed, prepped and practised. Been feeling more stress than nerves last few days, but I reckon I might actually have fun tonight. That's the goal at least

    Since the boys are here to stay, Cerys has decided the appropriate response is to be a Giant Turd. 🎉

    Do people like June 20 for another go at games meet? It's the day before solstice so I'd probably break out the mini spit and fire a meat.

    Have gone home from work. The Snottening has reached Richmond/Thornbury and points between.

    I may have packed away the string bikini a bit prematurely

    Pictures of baked beans make poor colouring in pages

    I would probably like the real stuff ala chef having a fit in Pie in the Sky, the tins are stupid sweet and gluey.

    Agree about the tins. But a proper cassoulet is divine ... 👼👼👼👼.

    Takes forever, but def worth it. The combo of duck, bacon, beans & garlicky breadcrumbs just hits so so good.

    Don't mind the forever bit. Have a 3 day coq au vin recipe I've always wanted to try, but Boyo can't do wine...

    I think I know that recipie - best done with tough scrawny old boiling hens, not the young plump roasting birds in the supermarket. Then it works well and is mega delicious. Using young birds means they go to shreds over the 3 days, where the boiling hens hang together and just keep getting more delish. Also, I believe you can use cranberry juice plus 1/4 tsp of orange zest instead of wine - haven't tried that but it sounds plausible. Dish is meant to be made with rough as bags red wine with tons of acid & tannin so maybe would work. Lemme know if you give it a go.

    Moved to frugal.

    TL;DR: Face sunscreens are overpriced and adding way too many actives for marketing reasons to the point of me not being able to use them anymore, old reliables have been reformulated, and trying generic to get a more basic option didn’t work out well either.

    FFS. I just want affordable basics that don’t sting or cause reactions.

    I should have just bought from the same disliked but tolerable brand while it was half price.

    I looked up a survey on choice the other day. I'll see if I can find it for you.

    but basically, so many are crap

    Yeah, that’s worrying. I don’t use a lot of products but sunscreen is kind of a necessity and it’s getting so hard to find something that just does the job.

    Edit: Am… am I going to be forced to wear a bucket hat next summer? Because broad brimmed hats flap up or sag down, and baseball caps don’t cover your neck or ears

    Hahahah His Lordship chose to be the one who got First Big Sleeps with the boys in the bed having access to the larger portion of the house.

    Tucked up on the comfy futon couch watching Buffy with Cerys i hear chaos reign outside. Not my circus, not my monkeys.
