I didn’t know they would do that either, it wasn’t that I felt it happening at the time, only afterwards.
Just mowed the grass and picked up a passenger in the process. It was a small green NZ Praying Mantis who I felt crawling around in the crook of my arm. Didn’t want to harm it, so left it there crawling around while I kept on mowing. Eventually it departed before I’d finished, but when I came indoors I discovered the little monkey had bitten me a number of times which was becoming sore. Didn’t feel it when I was working.
Merry Christmas everyone.
Went out to a friends for lunch which was great.
Hope everyone had a nice day 🍸💚
We’re cooking too. Recently started on a weekend free electric plan, that’s free from 9:00-17:00 on Sat & Sun. Baked lots to freeze ready for the week ahead, plus did all the weeks washing.
Happy Summer Solstice Day everyone.
Mr Grinch here. Today’s been the sending of on-line cards to people who we met many years ago but with no subsequent connection. Why the f*ck am I bothering?. Mrs Floofah said, "we’d better stay in touch", me wtf! 🤬
Done some checking and Countdown does not change the item price at the time of delivery, the customers pays the price shown at the time of order. We’ve been using them online for a very long time pre-Covid and have never seen a price rise on a delivered item after placing an order.
I don’t believe Countdown does this. Have used them for years and never had that happen. We also buy a lot on "special", including wine and beer where a change like we saw would be obvious.
There are pan handle covers advertised, not sure if Briscoes have them though. They simply slip on to cover the handle and protect the hand from heat.
Mitre-10 sell similar sets to Briscoes, so maybe they’ll have a set with insulated handles.
Just had a home delivery from New World. One of the items we ordered a week ago at a price of $12.99 was delivered at $19.99.
Called up their "help line" to be told that because we had added another item to the order midweek, the original price would have been updated to that days item price.
I bet if the price had gone down it wouldn’t have been changed!!
And they wonder why people hate the duopoly.
I’ve got a 16mm/foot, 32mm gauge line in the garage with 2 x UK Roundhouse engines.
Radio controlled gas fired locos for just sitting back with a beer, and simply watching the trains!!

Just been down to pathology for blood tests, should get the results soon.
I log all my daily tests (finger pricks) and have setup a spreadsheet to calculate the expected HbA1c result. Have had great correlation in the past between my logged calculations and the path lab results,
So to put my head on the block, here’s today’s prediction, will follow up with the lab results when they arrive.
I think you’re right, the marks are like tiny pin pricks, and given it was on my arm for a while, I ended up with lots of them. Good observation, thanks.
