Good night everyone 😘
Dammit, I'm hungry and I have all this prepped food in the freezer but I forgot to take any of it out to defrost. I have a bag of Jerusalem artichokes but cbf waiting to soak + roast. No other veg and need more than instant noods. Guess it's frozen f&c again. Put a box of of veg bolognese in the fridge to defrost for tomorrow night...
Got over yesterday's oncoming-cold feeling only to be SUPER jangly today. I'm going to try and read a damn book tonight rather than watch dumb shit on yt. I've downloaded Project Hail Mary, been meaning to read it for a while...
gees, it's pretty quiet here 🙂
and I might go for a walk down the beach 🙂
BEEEEACH. I went for a beach walk yesterday and it was glorious. The water looked absolutely stunning, but unfortunately we took the car that isn't prepacked with towels and swimming gear.
Heh. Maybe if I bought a grow light with a timer I could ripen things indoors.
Nah. There’s not enough room and electricity is expensive. I’m not doing all that.
for shits I actually built a solar powered grow light (it was on the eastern side of the house and supplemented a hydro cage that had the perfect spot right next to the back door...right up against a wall the house itself shaded). 'twas a fun project
anyone got good recs for duct cleaners? Our locals have shat the bed for me
Drat Boyo😝! I have my birthday prezzie early again because finding a hiding spot in an entire house and shed is apparently impossible. Would be a useless spy. Now I wanna built Lego and have to work for hours still 😿
observe the person you want to hide something from
put the object where they never go
there are common places, men hide things in their car, often where the spare tire is
women hide things in the laundry, often in the washing powder
Cardigan I tried on in store from this season: 57% acrylic, 32% polyester, 8% wool, 3% elastane.
Cardigan I saw on Marketplace potentially from last season: 60% acrylic, 30% nylon, 8% wool, 2% elastane.
Chat says the Marketplace one would be softer but the in store one would be more durable because of the polyester?
There’s no way to know without feeling them. Both synthetic and natural fibers come in different grades, eg fine wool vs coarse wool. Also what is the knit or weave like, it affects the feel and drape. Just go with the one you like the colour and style of, because that’s the one you’ll get the most enjoyment out of.
