Household tip #72
A while ago I bought this
spoiler
And when I used it all up I put a few squirts of dishwashing liquid in it and filled it with water. I use it when I have a cup or two to wash.
Then I discovered overseas they have Dawn Powerwash. Then I discovered the recipe to Dawn Powerwash. Our equivalent is Fairy. You now have a very powerful cleaning agent. Tbh I don't measure anything.
You're welcome.
Dinner: chow mein noodles stir fried with prawns, carrot and green capsicum in dark soy sauce plus friend's homemade XO sauce. Slightly modified from this recipe
It's oily as fuck as either I, or the person who stayed here while I was away, fucked up the wok, cos it lost its non stick coating. So I ended up adding extra oil. But this is some delicious takeaway style comfort food. Ticked all the boxes for tonight
that looks great, everyone here is such a good cook 😊👍

Despite a late start to the day owing to the crushing of candies in bed, I have broken my fast with long evenly shredded starch, and most importantly, ventured out to procure cow milk.
The service of Force's nipples is no longer required.
The room spins a bit when I close my eyes but close my eyes I must. Rewatched Bo Burnham's Make Happy special on Netflix earlier, that kid (relative in age to me) is very clever and I recommend giving him a chance. Each of his specials are great.
Overall a great evening. Didn't make a dick of myself to someone I care about, I'm pretty sure, and Storm won so let's call this a rare win for alcohol.
Annnnd serious q…
I am the worst offender of needing to purchase a bag every time I do groceries or shop is whatever and now I have so many?
What does everyone do with said bags in this situation?
The sneezing has started.
Hmm I’m about to go outside for a little session. I noticed a bit of wind this morning. Might have to cut it short.
So, centrelink still hasn't looked at/approved my partner's jobseeker claim/payment. Been over a month, and cannot make a complaint until after 13 weeks (💀).
Means we'll be late on rent for the first time ever, until I get a few pays from work.
I have no idea what to write to the Real Estate Agency about this tbh... if anyone has any ideas for what to say/write, I would be eternally grateful.
I feel so bad ugh
Absolutely nailed dinner (the cooking at least, I don't go for fine restaruant "plating"). Turkey meatloaf, with roasted fennel & brussels sprouts, glazed carrots, mashed potato & gravy. Everything was cooked perfectly. The fennel and carrot were also grown in my own garden. Five more serves of meatloaf to go in the freezer for future dinners & lunches.
Been having a hell of an existential ride this year, but the simple things… overpriced coffee walking home with clear as blue sky and maybe just a bit more wind than I’d like, but… for a moment it just all melts always and you’re just in the moment.
Wish I could bottle it, but then I’d be an addict.
Serious q next…
OMG John Wick 4 is terrible I’m not even going to finish this torturous movie lol.
This news does not bring me happiness. I've just finished the second one again, and I remember really liking the third, but don't know whether it'll hold up as well as the first film has.
I can't understand why he made that choice at the end of the second film. It makes zero sense.
The premise was great. The world building was great. The currency makes zero sense. The violence is so silly that it's fun.
I am building toward watching the fourth for the first time.

Edge Of Tomorrow is a perfect movie to watch in between canned fish educationals
Anyone know if lemmy has a user tagging system akin to the ol' RES? Got some terfs i need to brand.
