Sherlock Dan has solved the Case of the Crumbly Bread.

And like most cases, the reason is pure idiocy on my behalf. I thought I put in 340ml of water. But, the measuring cup is 200ml and I put in 200ml and then another 40ml thinking I'd already had 300ml in there.

So did another one last night with the correct amount of water and the result was pure, heavenly breadiness worthy of Jesus himself.

Maths. Every. Single. Time.

Oooo

Mildura to Mallacoota by PT, 22 hours with the longest layover being a couple of hours. I'd arrive the next day, but because the last leg of the trip leaves the same day, the entire fare would only be the price of a daily

I have only stepped out my apartment once in the past 3 and 1/2 weeks and that was to go to hospital . Can't wash my hair and have mostly been subsisting on frozen food. I missed xmas and nye with friends and fam too.

But I have recovered from depression so that is good.

I have so much to do. :)

ffs, reddit is so full of paid political trolls it's painful

this place is a blessed relief

I had two wins today. Some code I straight copy pasted off the internet worked first go, fixing a real doozy of a work project in one swoop.

The I put Linux mint on an old laptop and the WiFi started working again. I'll either give it to the kids to play with or I'll play around with it as a home server.

Go do a blood test 5 minutes before opening time. Notice there's already 10 people in front of me. Go get a coffee and croissant. Will fast another day.

I went to the art site of the youtube channel to see about the free colour wheels (it has a free stuff section). It looks legit but even with no cost and a free pdf downloadable it still wants your credit card details and address. That's gonna be a no from me dawg. Downloading anything is already something I'm hesitant to do. The ones being sold on art supply shops online are kind of different, not how I want.

I'm sure I could make equivalents if I was determined but honestly not really seeing the point. I've gone off art a little bit lately and am just feeling like shit, sleeping all the time.

Sauce dins:

Special shout out to the lovely retiree couple who always waves from their balcony on the way back from the beach and says hello. The world needs more of that. I have no idea who they are but they always say hey which is nice.

If anyone is looking to eat more healthy I recommend this cookbook from Michael Mosley. It's got a lot of really good and easy recipes in it.

The ultimate fast 800 recipe book

My parents keep taking their dog away in the caravan then realising that taking the dog with them sucks because they can't go out anywhere together because they can't leave the dog alone. This leads to me being asked to house/dog sit at their place, which I'll be doing from tomorrow until Monday. Doggy is being driven home from Yarrawonga and dropped off today. Sigh.

Still not feeling great, the nausea is hanging around from god knows what, but thankfully the headache appears to have disappeared after a long sleep (got up before all my alarms! Hooray!) I'm going to try sipping a little bit of coconut water throughout the day in the hopes it eases the nausea.

Didn't get around to re-reading Shades of Grey yesterday, BUT... to my absolute chagrin, even though Red Side Story is supposed to be released today (6 Feb), the ebook is not appearing in the app - then I call and find out that release date is based on American timezones 😑😒😔😩 So 4pm here at the very earliest. Possibly 7pm. I guess I was being naïve and overly hopeful... but still, in the absence of any other information, with digital releases/information isn't it reasonable to think 6 Feb 2024 starts at 12:01 am in the local timezone?

Oh well, personally that works out well as I can blast through Shades of Grey now while waiting. Wrote a strongly worded feedback message anyway, about being clearer about this on the website/preorder info for next time.

Grabbed some hummus chips from Aldi to try.

Inhaled the bag within minutes. They're that good.

I will be unable to make the new thread at midnight for tomorrow if somebody else could do it, that would be great.

Pizzas are in oven

keen to start planning my next camping trip. heck, I could even do tidal river again. Its just so nice down there.

Pizza dough is rising, pizza sauce is made.

Bought a few art pieces from Etsy that needs A) printing and B) framing. What's the best place to get prints - what quality and paper do I print and where can I buy cheap ass frames?

Aussie Frugal seems to have died. I'm just in there alerting when hygiene products are half price because (other than occasional art supplies and basic necessities) I don't really buy anything

Just on a jam packed tram into the city, and no one sat next to me. Lots of people standing etc. strange mix of nice because personal space, but also feeling like a leper.

I haven't had one mozzie bite this summer.

Where'd they go?

Why aren't I attractive to them anymore? I work out, wear revealing clothing so I know I have a operational circulatory system.

So I'm having an affair with March flies instead. At least they know my worth.

I watched the movie "Mr Bojangles. I remember watching William Robinson movies growing up, old black and whites with Shirley Temple. Such beautiful movies.

People used to get up and walk out of his boundary pushing live shows and movies because they were so offended!!

Fuck 'em.
