Yeah, this is pretty much my standard now too. I was in hospital for a day surgery recently and was more than a little taken aback at the fact that I was one of the only people masking.

A wise choice, it’s a time-suck for sure.
Ahhh good ol’ FPS death. I never make it that far, mainly because I love to embark somewhere with a waterfall.
Dwarf Fortress, been playing it off and on for many years now. I happily bought the steam version when it came out!
Honestly, it looks like you had some amazing success, so take pride in that. I’ve only been gardening for a few years now, and there’s been a lot of trial and error. Bien joué!
It’s tough to say - I tend to consider books that have stayed with me the ones that scared me the most. Off the top of my head:
- The Last Days of Jack Sparks by Jason Aarnop
- From A Buick 8 by King (though I’d say I found this one more existentially disturbing and unsettling)
- Drood by Dan Simmons
I think, looking at this not-at-all-exhaustive list, that the books I find scariest are the ones where you’re left with more questions than answers.
I stopped reading nosleep a few years back when it got a bit too hard to find good stories amidst the noise, but I do like a good competent female protagonist in my horror. Thanks for the recommendation!
Fantastic! I love the “milpa” method you reference (I’ve always heard it referred to as the three sisters method). Maybe add some onions in future? Chives, green onions and garlic all make for excellent companion plants for some of the stuff you’re growing. And I always make space for herbs, especially perennials.
She’s lovely, and she looks so happy to see you!
It’s gorgeous, well done!
Excellent log, my dog gives it four out of four paws straight up on the air. Because he’s lying on his back like a dead cockroach under my desk right now.
I primarily use small (3”x3”) microfibre towels for dishwashing - bought a pack of four a while ago ant the grocery store and am still using them. I can’t remember what I paid, but I don’t expect it was much more than $6 or $7 CAD.
I also have a sturdier microfibre scrubby that’s holding up less well, which I wouldn’t buy again. And then, of course, steel wool for the big-time elbow grease jobs.
