    Massive day of gardening and using power tools.

    Old mate neighbour was proper annoyed.

    Did I need to use the chainsaw?

    Not at all.

    Did I use it excessively?

    Most definitely.

    Vietnamese for dinner and now proper buzzed.

    Bless you all

    Monday and Tuesday are over 25 degrees. Maybe I shall go beach on a random Tuesday when I am done with these assignments hanging over my head. This is probably the last time in my life I will be able to do something like until retirement, so I shall cherish it.

    I’m scared to start working full-time in a “real” job and I haven’t even started yet. I don’t want to do busywork that’s ultimately meaningless. But everything has a purpose in some way.

    Question for the cooks out there on thread: is it possible to make a turkish soup with absolutely no garlic in it? Or other spices? My lovely next door neighbour heard I was a bit under the weather and brought round a whole of pot of it. I love her dearly but dat soup was not turkish. She did do a good job with the flatbread though.

      Is she Turkish? If yes, the soup was definitely Turkish.

        Nope. Irish. Hence the good flatbread, but no flavour to the soup.

    Looked at the jungle that is the garden the other day and thought I can sort that in a couple of hours, no worries. After gardening all morning, turns out I couldn’t, so back to it tomorrow. Work has been pissing me off lately, so I guess it’s a good way to burn off the irritation

    Wish I’d taken befores & afters to show off my work, though

    Today at the beach I found an ankylosaurus.

    I also took a nice pic of a fisherman’s pier.

      Lovely ankylosaurus. Thagomizer complete or nearly too. One of my neighbours has a similar stegosaurus in their front garden. It moves around from time to time eating the plants.

        Didn’t turn the stove off properly? And it’s old enough to not have the magic valve

          It’s none of my biz and I hope I’m not being intrusive… but would it be an option to buy an electric hotplate and/or an electric frying pan that can switch off at the wall rather than use the stove?

          And maybe buy a portable ‘travel’ carbon monoxide detector?

          The idea of no safety valve on a gas stove is just haunting me.

          (For context I still get para about mine with safety features and freak if I bump the dials. And I’ve had to handle an undetected gas leak before)

            Thank you for your concern. I do already own a plug in induction plate. This was total human clumsiness, and not bad enough to set off the detectors, just our noses.

          Seems to be really popular.

          If it were me w/ young kids I’d hit up the thomas the tank engine, then skip queenscliff, head to point lonsdale, fish n’ chips place opposite the new playground (also very popular w/ kiddos), and if you time it right w/ the tide and weather the rockpools and war bunkers near the lighthouse (also extremely popular w/ kiddos). Queenscliff itself is a bit boring for kids.

          In years gone by we have done the Thomas at Puffing Billy experience. Not the cheapest day out but lots of character trains and buses and people and activities and it was fantastic. I’m a bit sad we’ve outgrown Thomas now.
