Back to work tomorrow after a bit of a hiatus.
Over the last few days I managed to finish a few games and also binge Season 3 of Only Murders in the building.
It was a good watch and can’t wait to see what the future has in store for it.
Now just having the cricket on. I hope I can get to sleep at a decent time and sleep well as that’s been a roller coaster for me lately.
Also may have some minor sunburn on my hand as well after being out today for a bit.
Finally getting stuck into this spring cleaning today after completely failing to launch yesterday. I still have about 5 hours until my friend arrives and I'm doing very well! Taking a bourbon break (my first) but I think I'm well on track for time.
It was embarrassing how much dust was on things. I hadn't properly opened all the windows for a long time and that sunlight really highlighted how bad it was. Bit more tidying to do, rubbish and cardboard to take out and then I tackle the bathroom and the floors, then that'll do. Oh and make the bed with the sheets and pillowcases drying out on the balcony.
I’m a bit annoyed that I didn’t get bigger pots. The round carrots require less depth but are wider, so after thinning I’ll probably only get a couple. I really hate thinning.
But the pots have to be small and portable. I need to bring them in easily when needed and even raised beds would be a bit much. I’m trying to keep this low pressure and manageable
Almost anything can be a pot. Empty yoghurt container, old crockery, cut off milk carton. Just need some drainage holes and bam, it’s now a pot.
Tonight's that right, I forgot about that artist...
The Flaming Lips.
I really love them.
I also really miss the community feeling about a new album coming out. Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots was a big one for me.
Petcircle is stocking the Weruva beef and pumpkin wet food! 👀
It’s very low in phosphorus so is good for cats with kidney disease. I was desperately hunting for this food when Melbcat was first diagnosed as food allergies meant she couldn’t eat the prescription food.
So expensive though, especially as she’s eating a lot more wet food than usual and is turning her nose up at cheap sardines. It’s twice the price of the cheaper usual option. The blood test after her thyroid procedure said she doesn’t have kidney disease anymore?
Even so I’ve added a few tins to the cart to see how she tolerates it. If she does I know we have a kidney friendly option as she ages.
Punk karaoke : the not so fine line between Onya mate, have a go, and Help, my ears are bleeding!
So much like a punk concert

Little side note for pantser cookers like yours truly. I did a fast strudel (frozen pastry sheets) today and didn’t have nuts, but used my LSA mix and that actually turned out nicely. (I also used oats, well UT Ancient Grains instead of breadcrumbs that seemed fine, too.)
