Did somebody summon a Void?

Alrighty. Interview tomorrow for business unit leader. It's a place that sells IT hardware basically. On a large scale.

Should be interesting. Will report back tomorrow!

Enjoy your evening everyone ❤️

Alrighty. I have my 6 hour YouTube video, my little IT lab setup, 4 colour pen and exercise books.

Let's go!

It cold out there

Send help i just finished cleaning up from cough-barfing on a cat and she is pissed

I have purchased a crispy pork banh mi with extra extra chilli. Time to nuke my sinuses from orbit.

It's bin day and we're waiting for the pick up. Elderly neighbour was out and on his way back home reversed into his bins, knocking them over and spilling a bit of crap on the nature strip and footpath.

Did he notice? Absolutely not.

Did he go out and pick it up? No chance.

Did I do the right thing, rush out and tidy up as the rubbish truck was at the top of our street? Yes, but was grumbling the entire time.

My biggest issue was that it took the rubbish truck a few minutes to do it's round. Not long enough for me to back inside, but just too long to stand outside waiting andlooking like an impatient resident that is totally judging the truck driver's performance.

I can has new heater (pakidge!). Cheeky buggers supply no batteries for the remote, but seems good so far. Looking forward to toasty toes.

Old man just informed me yesterday he has a hereditary gene defect related to PCSK9 or Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 which means high cholesterol or sumfink.

I already had my parma and chips lined up...

So rude.

Yesterday a car drove up and back down my court and stopped outside my front gate, would the window down and took a photo (from what I could see). He then realised I was there and left. Not feeling overly safe, didn’t get numberplate so calling cops would be useless?

Dead end road in the sticks…..

bed rest for a sore back is on order 😿 just preventive

love you all 😘

Early night tonight.

Good sleep everyone . 😘

god I want that KFC snack pack for lunch, but 6 nugs PLUS popcorn chicken and chips is way too much to tackle solo.

Monk series last 3 episodes.

Very nice series ender, nice endings for every character, nothing surprising, it all seemed like natural conclusions to stories in the series. Like a short story, you see how the series was just a section of their lives, there was a before and there is an after.

I think the series was about love, grief and friendship.

I do wonder how eccentric special Monk's skills were. Can every viewer figure it out?

5 hobbits

I'm still super tired and need to be up early tomorrow to leave early for an appointment and then dinner with a friend.... But I promised I'd bring a plate and I know she's far more tired and cash strapped than me, so I'm summoning all my energy to have a go at this vegan shepherds pie recipe now - to be finished off in the oven at hers tomorrow. It's got rehydrated shiitake, squeezed out jackfruit and coffee (?!). I really wanna see how it turns out, haven't made shepherd's pie in years.

Well, leftover pizza has been had - time to soak and chop and sweat. I can do this!!

5 degrees?? Feels like 3.1?!?

WTF!

I made some Greens packet cheesecake for the kids and whilst I wasn't expecting much, they managed to limbo under my low expectations.

I guess I've never had a cheesecake as fluffy, stiff, and bland as these before to have perspective.

It's not a hard 'don't recommend', more a 'don't bother'. Make cheesecake at home the proper way or buy a good one

Urghhh its like ghostbusters ii and i am vigo

Which is oddly ironic as i am marathoning the US version of ghosts. The UK version is some warm fuzzies but the US is straight up unhinged and i am here for it.

Sleeping for two days straight has helped. Still feel rubbish, but…less rubbish

I saw a kitty litter box with enter and exit doors and I wondered if kitty would care if it accidentally Dutch ovened it self.

After a few fallthroughs Melbcat finally got to the vet for her Solensia yesterday - she's having more noticeable side effects this time though.

Last night she pulled a chunk of fur out of her back and was stalking around lashing her tail all wriggly like a snake. Today she's been very sooky and smoochy, initiating and allowing a long session of brushing when normally she gets overstimulated after a few brushstrokes and walks away. (This time I sat to brush my own hair and she rubbed her cheek on my brush until I gave her a very long groom.) There's some squinting like there's pain or she doesn't feel good. She's also thrown up a bit and not finishing all of her food.

Nausea, loss of appetite and skin irritation are on the list of side effects so that's pretty normal. Getting a bit freaked out at Reddit comments claiming that it killed their cat but am just going to keep an eye on her.

I've had my flu shot today so we can cuddle and be wretched together.

In other notes, it seems cats love generic Tangle Teezer style knockoffs. I'll try it again when she's not craving brushies (it's the bean shaped solid plastic kind with no handle, very easy to clean in hot soapy water) and if it's nicer on her skin than the slicker brush it can become hers or I'll buy her her own.

time i make my signature dish

Unbelievably, I made the shepherd's pie! The texture didn't really come out how I thought it would, though I think that's because maybe I used this brand of tinned jackfruit that I honestly never should use again, too much of the tough core and not enough flesh.

However, the umami/flavour is out of this world. Lots of it would be from the tomato paste, dried mushrooms and soy sauce, but I think the coffee definitely added a certain something to it too... must try again with some tweaks.

Maybe I'll make a spag bol sauce on the weekend with the remaining tomato paste and tvp mince, and see if the coffee trick works again 🤔 ☕ 😋

Preeeeeety sure the mrs car needs a new clutch. Pretty sure it needed a new one when we brought it, but SOMEONE (who shall remain nameless) living out his little Evo-driver-fuckboi fantasies in it cant be helping. She's gonna make me pay for this.

How do I be charming when I have no charm? Advice needed several years ago
