Thats a very cool duck.

When I was small and the loud storms scared me my mother told me that thunder was the man on the moon either bowling or throwing things down the stairs. It wasnt presented as fact, but it was a funny little thought to distract from the scary storms.

I was also told there was a tiny man living in the fridge who operated the light. All fun and game until your toddler’s letting all the cold air out while they are trying to catch the little man in action.

Oh and the triangle hazard light button in the car was actually the ejector seat button.

Depending on your location there might be day classes, but if you are somewhat remote then your best bet is buying a sewing machine, watching youtube and following along with some beginner patterns. Singer, brother, janome are decent brands with decently cheap entry level machines.

You can get cheaper second hand ones but that comes with a risk that the machine has a fault or needs something done to it that as a beginner might throw you off. Same deal with the very, very cheap machines some might work just fine, but theres a chance that it chews fabric or breaks threads and as a beginner it will be harder to tell if its the machine or you. So a cheapish branded one is a safer bet.

You could also start with hand sewing, its cheaper again. All you need is a needle and sone thread. But Id say its harder than using a machine and takes longer to finish projects. It would be fine if you wanted to start by mending small tears and fixing buttons. But really hand and machine sewing are two very different beasts.

The gardenate website is a good start, it explains which areas are temperate, arid and so on, then you input the area you are in and it will tell you what is good to plant by month. Its main focus is vegetables.

If the ground is nice soil (not too hard, rocky, sandy, or filled with builders rubbish) then its really personal preference. Raised beds are good if you have a bad back and people are less likely to walk through them leading to compacted dirt. But straight into the ground is also fine, you dont need to source dirt to fill it, and I find turning the soil over is easier when its straight in the ground.

Awesome to see, hope it catches on. :)
