I also should have waited for more coffee. 25/50 I did get the bagpipes right, but not the bubble wrap.

Summer doona is now on the bed.

It is definitely frustrating. Some people don't seem to have the skills to be able to organise a time to get things. I'm not sure if it is a communication issue or an inability to commit to anything in advance but I've had a few people that seem interested but just don't seem to be able to make a time.

Three more cupboards gone! ๐ŸŽ‰ Just four more to go. If I don't sell them soon they are going on the naturestrip with a "free" sign on them.

Terrible housekeeping skills too

Just saw a dead bird being delivered. Never going to get a deposit buying Uber Eats.

I'm starting to wonder if the last falcon is ever going to leave the ledge

Hmm. I'll have to check the dress code. They specify what clothes you are allowed to wear, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually state that you have to be wearing clothes. Do public decency laws apply in the workplace? Being arrested could also put a bit of a dampner on the day.

I don't think the people at work will agree. I can see attempting to introduce this initiative going very badly for me.

I'm not sure I can support a general undies free day. Is you calling for this because you are behind on the washing?

There's just something about "I'm a pensioner and I need to travel a long way will you give me a discount" that makes me want to say no. The attempted emotional manipulation combined with a sense of entitlement just pisses me off. Not sure why it pushes my buttons so strongly but it really does.

I'm starting the post early today because I'm so excited for my yummy dinner plans! I did not get any turkey at Christmas, so tonight I'm roasting half a turkey for myself and having Second Christmas ๐Ÿ˜

 

I'm planning on making a biscuit Christmas tree today, and would love to see other people's Christmas creations too. So if you have made any yummy treats this year please post pics here so we can all enjoy.

Edit: post updated to show the tree I made

 

I have just joined the bandwagon and purchased an air fryer, and I have offered to do the potatoes in it for Christmas.

Can anyone suggest a favourite air fryer recipe for potatoes that would go well with a roast?

 

I've got poached eggs on an english muffin, with a mix of tomato, onion, basil, fetta, capsicum and cucumber.

 
 

Taken 20 years ago in the remote Queensland town of Chillagoe. Known for limestone caves, Aboriginal art, nesting sites for the white-rumped swiftlet, and as the final resting place of my Volvo, which never made it home.

 
 

The way Lemmy is organised tends to focus users on new and popular content, which means that slower moving ongoing conversations tend to sink in the page and get overlooked. A lot of valuable content is created in those slower discussions, so I am trying to set up ways to keep them visible and findable. I believe for a good group a moderator needs to be part librarian, not just rule enforcer.

I am creating ongoing topic threads which are linked to from the sidebar, and will also be linking them in the daily discussion thread where most activity in my group currently occurs. I am also looking into creating regular posts for specific topic discussions, which should help searchability. Making the system more complicated leads to users not following it though, so I want it to be as simple as possible to use and not have too many things like that happening at one time.

I would love to hear any other suggestions or about things you are doing to set up the structure of your groups.
