Oh I’m definitely keeping the heater on tonight.

To protect from frost, if they are in the ground you can cover with something like tarp or sheet, if in pots bring inside or a sheltered location like garage. Good luck little plants! It’s gonna be a tough week for the frost sensitive ones.

3 degrees here. Cold air was very sharp taking the rubbish out. I think it’s gonna get colder than the predicted low overnight. Be prepared for a very frost morning.

They are clearly not western suburbs natives. Anyone who is would know the official uniform is adidas, hoodies, and fancy sneakers.

Less than inflation.

I dunno about Solo, it would have artificial flavours and colours in it so you wouldn’t really get the same flavour from fresh lemons. But an alternate idea, you could look up recipes to make lemon cordial. Then mix with soda water to make a fizzy lemonade drink. Delicious!

Why is it always motorbikes or traffic lights? Occasionally busses. Surely there are other suitable subjects?

For everyday I like the bonds with the cushioned soles. They come in different heights (low, crew etc). Seem to be on sale at least once a month. The colesworth underworks brand is similar. Not as thick like tradie socks, but thick enough that they don’t get holes easily. For thin dress socks, I find cotton more durable than bamboo.

It’s still in the cinemas so that’s probably why. I’ve noticed this strategy recently where the release to cinema and rental overlap. For a family, $30 would be cheaper than cinema tickets so maybe that’s the target market. Wait a month and it’ll be the normal price.

Had a moment today where a modern life tech thing baffled me (online access type thingy), and I got frustrated (eventually solved it). I’m not that old but I’m not young either. It used to be utterly effortless to keep up with the latest life admin requirements, but am finding that occasionally I now feel out of the loop. Is this the tip of the iceberg? I don’t want it to be. I don’t want to age and become useless at new stuff that comes out. I Do. not. like. It.

City or suburbs? Could do something like aquarium, gallery (Pharoh exhibition is on), museum. Or in suburbs cafe lunch, day trip, local shopping center, pub lunch, farmers market.

 

This year I grew tomatoes, and found rats are stealing them. I am certain it’s rats because I have seen them. Have tried netting the tomato plants, but rats found ways in. Called an exterminator to bait in the roof and under house. Feel ambivalent about it, because if a predator bird takes an affected rat it may get ill. But I’m located deep in suburbia and have never seen an owl or eagle so I think it’s unlikely. Didn’t work though, still have rats. Have given up on the tomatoes, plants are destroyed. What are your strategies for ridding yourself of ratty pestilences?

 

Looking for inspiration. Which Australian food sites, bloggers, youtube, social media do you frequent? The places you go for ideas and recipes. I love Nagi (recipe tin eats), and occasionally browse Taste and SBS food. What are some others to look at?
