๐ป cheers. Iโm trying DHC Twilight Hazy IPA which is from a Japanese brewery near Mt Fuji. Itโs very malty for an IPA. I purchased it at Sessions bottle shop in Box Hill. They have a vast range of Japanese beers. What they didnโt have is a Thai spirit called Mekhong. Itโs really a rum type spirit. If anyone can turn me on to a supplier I will be your best friend.

afternoon tired
wonder if I have a bug
Fruit & veg box arrived. I have sooooo many limes now! The capsicums are red this month instead of green which is nice.
Green capsicum is definitely the inferior capsicum
FYI - it's the same plant, just harvested at different times. Greens are harvested early, yellow orange are mid ripe and red are the ripest.
I only learned this a couple of years ago.
They should leave the green ones on until they're done
itโs the same plant
my whole life has been a lie.
I have never recovered from learning that
That's only half right. Green are unripe fruit of any variety, but the yellow, orange and red are different varieties.
For real? Learning heaps about this veggie.
One blackberry + one triangle of cream cheese = party in mouth
You're welcome
I have cream cheese ๐คฉ
No blackberries though

I've done so much work this morning I'm basically cross-eyed. This lunch break is very welcome
I took the best client facing IT guy with me into a meeting today.
Let me just say, he's an awesome guy and great to work with.
However.
These guys really overestimate what the average person understands. Now I get why they hired me.
Back when I worked as a business analyst, about 80% of my work was translating geek into human and back again. It's a thing. Geek being insurance speak/legalese.
agree
the hard part is not making average people defensive
You are soooooo right about that.
Date went okay. Guy was nice. We had some things in common but also were in different worlds. I think after I meet these next two people, I will quit this app thing.
get to know them ๐
Washing is on, floors are vacuumed, bread is cooking and my fruit & veg box should be delivered soon. I really should do some menu planning.
In case anyone was wondering, Bunnings do in fact, stock ladies underwear. Be the first to review!
They also have DIY options that work out a bit cheaper.
Dude! One can tell you are not well acquainted with the female nethers

my timetable is out sorts while the move is in progress
but it's not absolute chaos , I'll work around it ๐
Hmm I've accidentally changed my Google maps (app, android) perspective so it's like I'm viewing more from the horizon instead of directly over-head. I've tried a bunch of different gestures and I can't figure out how to change it back. Any ideas?
Edit: right after I posted I realized I didn't try double finger in same direction swipe. Success!
AMPLIFON !
The one that super pissed me off was 'you turned 30' upgrade your health insurance for Spawn! Get all the way in the bin.
Did you turn 50 too and get a letter?
If it makes you feel better, it's probably me who reimburses you for the cost of those. I pay a ton of hearing aid claims
lol no Iโve been around longer than that. I just had a giggle at your story yesterday ๐
Oh yeah ๐
For me it was the bowel cancer swab that really made it sink in (so to speak)
I've had bowel cancer screening and breastscreen letters so far. Apparently turning 50 means your body is going to try to kill you.
Date one is this morning. I had a shit night of sleep, but we will be powering through.

Woke up too early due to a nightmare I was going to fail year 12. What? That was a very long time ago, and I was never at risk of failing, brain what is wrong with you? I would like to go back to sleep now.
