Iโve implemented some long awaited admin improvements at work and itโs such a relief having it done. Cuts down on the brain clutter.
Always so nice when you have a success like that!!
Probably the biggest chilli tree I've ever grown (just behind the zuch at the front). Hab crossed w/ thai:
Really taken off for some reason.
Oh man, next time try a rocoto. We had one in a hydro bucket, went apeshit
That looks awesome man!
Ok I have locked in AO plans with some friends for my birthday, I think thatโs much better than the home sulking option which was option 2. No working on that day too.
after having a little bit o dairy at lunch then coming home and having some anti-histamines I'm just not hungry for dinner.
Listening to an old historic album and it had this gem from the 1930s

Co-worker had to bring his kid in today due to an emergency situation and wow what a little Princess brat.
Sounds awful.
Has your Pokรฉmon been crashing horridly today per chance?
Nope, but I haven't really opened it much! Hopefully whatever it is gets fixed quick!
Utterly unplayable. Am irked.
Give it a candy bar as it goes home for the day.
and a high caffeine coke
Missed opportunity!
Fell asleep putting the kids down last night and woke up at 10pm. Feeling very Glugged now. However I did start a sorcerer run of Dark Souls and I can see how it's the unofficial easy mode
I've never played any of the Dark Souls games, I wonder if I should give it a go sometimes. Though I'm very tempted to give Baulder's Gate III another crack. But I've also got Mario games to play. Sadly boyo got bored of Traveller's Rest very quickly.
They're fun once you get used to them. Probably the biggest thing is they're very replayable since there are so many weapons and builds you can do
I was late with Melbcatโs breakfast and meds because of amazing morning cuddles. I didnโt want to disturb her or let them end.
I'm more surprised she didn't end them first when she realised breakfast was to be late.
That's so sweet โค๏ธ
I could do with a pat on the head and a little scratch behind the ears rn.
Cat paralysis is a real thing!
Carn Ol' Mother N give us some of your big wet stuff cos car is filthy.
I backed into a tree yesterday because I couldn't see out the back with the sunset on the dust. Luckily the tree is fine and my van is a shitbox tank.
Food poisoning :(
hugs from a little distance, hope you feel better soon
Put the skeleton of the server rack in my office and racked my UPS, webserver and home automation proxmox enclosure. Oh it's ever so handsome, even if I haven't done the sides yet or finished stuffing it with delicious goodies.
(the sides were those pieces I was template routing last week. Not sure if want to carve or applique or paint, still mulling the baroque ideas. But I knew for certain I wanted the farkin' servers off my goddamn office floor, so I templated them so I could populate the frame)
If you are going for baroque, I must insist that there be gilded papiermache cherubs at the corners - preferably blowing trumpets. Some nice scrollwork would be an advantage I feel. Strap & jewel work might not be quite the right vibe, but you can't go wrong with roundels.
I am also considering a ridiculous mash of victorian steampunk and floral themes. The two apetures are going to be pop off windows, but i can get wonderfully baroque or gothic window films that I can put on the Perspex that's going to be the windows. Also going to backlight them very subtly.
the environs
(Please ignore tape and crap everywhere)
yay, we're going to the chef/cookware stores in Richmond
any requests?
Grab new a knife sharpener?
this is the one I bought last time, it's awesome if I remember to use it
Yeah, tried it. Incompatible with our bench tops.
Ooh where are these? I'm looking for fancy icing tips/nozzles.
I feel like catering cling wrap shits all over the supermarket brands. If you don't mind buying 600m at a time.

that's what I'm having for lunch today
Driving a hybrid car while I wait for news on my little Beastie and the noise it makes when the EV kicks in makes me both laugh and wince. I've nicknamed the car Myrtle after Moaning Myrtle because of it.
Ugh, too early. Puts on eye mask
There's a samurai double feature on at Nova tonight. I'd love to go but it starts at 7 and that will just be impossible with where i live and dealing with kids. I watched one of the movies years ago and it was good so it would be great to watch again
