Starting the hot sauce ferment today eee.
This should be wikkid hot (and hopefully don't get botulism).

Laundry day today. Sunday is going to be cold & wet. And next week likewise. Also gotta cut the grass. Work work work.
Being sat on by cat. Can't get up. So sad.
oh dear, that's the weekend gone
Buckarooos buckle up.


looks to be a clean ferment :)
Rain incoming. Not particularly heavy, but quite widespread. I reckon will be here within the hour. radar
Busy this weekend? https://www.trenthamspudfest.org.au/
Grass done. Laundry is drying? Humidity is so high it's hard to tell. Glass of wine o'clock.
to combat depression and feelings of being overwhelmed by having too much to do in the garden I will make a very detailed list of tasks,
that way I won't have much thinking to do and will get loads of positive reinforcement when I tick everything off ๐
after working in garden tomorrow I will make detailed unKaos list for the next week
also , I am on day 3 of no lollies , if I get hungry I will have fruit
I need to do something like this. Iโm also susceptible to depression overwhelm when faced with a pile of tasks that are tedious and seem futile because Iโll just have to repeat them again in the near future. The real circle of life is just endless cleaning. I just do it in hate mode, havenโt ever found a way to enjoy it.
home from shopping, now having a delicious cup of green jasmine tea ( the good stuff, not twinings ) and some toasted home made olive bread
Today in Footscray I saw a street barber, smelled so much weed, heard a god botherer, was the only one who didn't get their bag checked when leaving a shop ( ahem, racism ๐ ) , bought a set of 1950's Maltby Australiana playing cards
We just put on the Magic Pudding movie and between the animation quality and the cast I thought it came out in 1989. But not too surprised to learn it was actually 2000
I have to admit that I was disappointed with the movie - they downplayed/omitted all the political stuff. The original is a wicked sharp satire on the process of Federation. The movie loses all that stuff and turns it into a wholesome fairy tale. FYI the magic pudding is Federation itself - the other characters are the people who created it for better or for worse. I love the characterisation of NSW as the rooster, and South Australia as the bandicoot. The original illustrations too show who all the participants were very accurately. Barton as Bunyip Bluegum, Parkes as Bill Barnacle. The pudding paddock they all end up in is Canberra. Mr Lindsay has to be congratulated on his drawing skills.
I read they cut a lot out when they adapted it. I might find a good hardcover version soon for the kids
Check out the original text & drawings on Project Gutenberg - and decide whether the very dated language is suitable. It was originally published in 1918 after all. The poems are fun and very quotable. My family still uses the "Eat away, chew away, munch and bolt and guzzle" one as the official start of xmas dinner. Recited in chorus. Would recommend reading it aloud to kids - the book's a lot of fun that way. And you can gloss over the hideous fate of Curry & Rice if you prefer.
I have a list of things I am planning to cook on my days off that I think will far exceed the actual time I have available. I think I need to triage.
I have a question for everyone. Apart from the obvious soap, deodorant and toothpaste, what is a beauty product that you use the most, can't get enough of, can't live without?
Mine is rosehip oil. I've used it on my face for years and now I'm using it after shaving and for eczema. Love the stuff.
A decent lip balm, as otherwise I'm prone to cracked lips. My go to is the standard Palmers Cocoa Butter.
I'd say.... Beer ๐ป ๐บ
Fun fact. In the 1800's water was contaminated because fish fuck in it so from the moment you woke up it was beer o'clock for the whole family.
it's still beer o'clock for the whole family in europe where you can buy "family beer", it's literally called family beer in the supermarket and comes in big bottles , it's like 1% , probably healthier than cola
No wonder you're so youthful I swore there was a secret.
Generic brand Vitamin E cream with a sunscreen. Use it on face and body. Cheap, good and not at all greasy. I HAAAAATE wearing makeup, but this stuff I don't feel at all like I'm wearing anything. Also cheap generic lanolin for dry skin on heels & elbows - slathered on at night and cotton socks over the top. I've had dry skin all my life and these two items have been gamechangers for me. Not so much as beauty as for comfort.
Lanolin is so nice and velvety. I also have dry skin and during winter I use the heavy duty Nivea creme.
lanolin is so good for skin, it's the closest thing to our natural skin oils, that's why it's so good
Me and Miss Seagoon buy the six packs of lanolin from vic market, we give a lot away to friends and fam overseas and use it ourselves too
Either unscented moisturiser or face sunscreen/spf moisturiser.
But if I had to pick out of them all the answer is probably spf moisturiser tbh
From like age 18 to when it was reformulated to sting and then discontinued I just kept buying the same spf15 Nivea tube and used it every single day even if using nothing else.
For a while dry shampoo was popular too until scent was an issue and I found out about the benzene thing
A decent hand cream. I wash and sanitize my hands all day and frequently change food handling gloves and they get so dry! I'm not fussy about the brand, but it has to readily absorb and smell gorgeous because it gives me a brief aromatherapeutic mood boost. At the end of the day before I walk out the door I slather it on my hands and walk out of work rubbing it in. ATM I've got Ovidia next to the bed and Freshwater Farm in my work bag. Also paw paw ointment for the lips and occasional cuticle application.
I had to check my bathroom to see. Revlon sheer tinted lip balm lipstick. Have some in my handbag too. Light pink and a very light coral.
Also, hand wipes. I keep a pack in my handbag and use often.

Cรถrnflaken. The people desire
Veal tortellini with sundried tomato and pasta sauce please
I tried out Assetto Corsa Rally and it feels alright, different to Dirt. Also, it's amazing how easy sailing the high seas is on Linux. I downloaded a portable version, just opened it with some Proton GUI tools and it ran. Some slight texture problems, but nothing game breaking and you can't complain for free and working out of the box
