Today is World Rainforest Day!
A small amount of gardening has been achieved, cutting back the beans and other dead summer plants and putting away the support stakes. Things look a bit tidier out there now.
I have also achieved mixing & packaging a new batch of dog food and a bit of general tidying up.

I’m still trying to work this one out as well
Or that when the people are trying to sleep it is not time for an argument with your siblings.
After I got the weird Manscaped popup on Domino’s last night, I left them feedback when they asked. I thought this feedback would go to corporate, so I wasn’t particularly nice when I left it. Apparently it went to the store manager. Oof
spoiler
I wasn’t super rude about it, like not abusive or anything like that, but ruder than I ever would be to any of the store people, even if it was their doing (which it isn’t)

World Rainforest Day
World: from Proto-Germanic *weraldi-, a compound of *wer “man” (Old English wer, still in werewolf; see virile) + *ald “age” (from PIE root *al- (2) “to grow, nourish”).
Rainforest: apparently a loan-translation of German Regenwald, coined by A.F.W. Schimper for his 1898 work "Pflanzengeographie
Day: Old English dæg “period during which the sun is above the horizon,” also “lifetime, definite time of existence,” from Proto-Germanic *dages- “day” (source also of Old Saxon, Middle Dutch, Dutch dag, Old Frisian di, dei, Old High German tag, German Tag, Old Norse dagr, Gothic dags), according to Watkins, from PIE root *agh- “a day.” He adds that the Germanic initial d- is “of obscure origin.” But Boutkan says it is from PIE root *dhegh- “to burn” (see fever). Not considered to be related to Latin dies (which is from PIE root *dyeu- “to shine”).

Australia has unique temperate rainforests in that they have the biome but not the high rainfall. Like in the Dandenongs, Macedons and the Otways.

Don’t tell my kids, but I don’t really want to get up at 7:30 on a Saturday to go and watch them play hockey. I’m tired, it’s cold, wet and I’m not really having fun.
I might be getting my first new computer in 14 years later today, so I have something to look forward to.
The dinner of champions
Onion and cheese?
Sauerkraut and gherkins, with knackwurst

I’ve always threatened my boss that the only sql I know is DROP TABLE ALL;
I smashed my free amazon prime membership for a month then cancelled it. Thanks for the postage suckers.
Currently doing this…
I bought a bunch of bulk foods that I’d otherwise have to run around town for and an instapot duo.
I do this every time it comes up too. Stock up on inconvenient stuff I know I don’t need immediately but might as well get while I have free shipping. Stuff like a big roll of tough double sided tape suitable for outdoor use or copper tape for snails.
Decided to take the kukri (further sharpened today on a silicone carbide stone) to the lemon tree for the first time as it needed pruning. Turns out to be a good fast tool for that work. Hit those little branches at 45 degrees… straight through.
Ended up with 22kg (!) and heaps more to go :)

Spent this morning redoing my resume, and have now sent two applications with cover letters. I think that will do for today. Main part was ending the procrastination and actually sending out some applications. Feeling accomplished
Good luck ! The cover letters have been the hardest and most troublesome part for me.
How anyone can crank out and personalise more than one a day (let alone 20) is a complete mystery.
Putting yourself out there is scary. Good on you for taking the plunge.
My gonads have recessed and are shrivelled by the cool water of the plunge but they’ll drop back down with my voice, once I’ve earned it
Good onya, that’s not an easy thing to push through, but it feels so good once the initial inertia has been shoved out of the way. I need some of that energy with my chores today! Here’s hoping your efforts are rewarded with a better job very soon :)
Intertia is a great word. I hope your chores arr completed 💪👌
Look at us all busy little bees today. I’ve managed a shower and I’m deciding whether to get dressed or not.
Same, though I did get dressed.
Lol don’t worry. I only just got around to having a shower and getting dressed, and I only did that because I have a visitor soon. If it wasn’t for him, I would still be in bed
Ii think I’ve been worse. I woke, had breakfast, chatted in the phone then went for a nap and that’s my day :/
Just picked up a free old projector for my emulator PC.
I put out a really nice new cat chair out in the courtyard for someone to take , the boys are too big for it
So many things are made for dinky little kitties. The large loaves deserve nice things too :(
I just picked up my towel and hung it up.
It’s been a very slow start for me, if that makes you feel better! I have tons on next week so I knew I had to get some things done today or I’d be punishing my future self when she’s more tired and cranky.
KFC have killed the giant snack pack, and therefore killed any interest I have in going to kfc.
I tried the GSP and thought it was absolutely vile. But I mostly go to Red rooster these days anyways, so I can’t blame you. kafers is just too expensive these days. A $5 snack sub box from rooster is where it’s at!
If red rooster could stop putting bones in their roast rolls we could talk, but man the quality of the chicken sucks.
I don’t like most of their rolls. I just go there for the $3.95 snack subs and 10 for $5 cheesy nuggs

The last KFC I had was so disgusting it’s tainted any memory I had of them being worth going to. Cold damp unsalted chips, some pieces of chicken looked like they’d been cooked 4-5 times already - tiny dried out husks of food. The box was soaked through with fryer oil.
Either its under salted, or it’s oversalted to the point where eating some is like crunching a salt lick.
Almost impressive how KFC manages to straddle either side of the line.
Yeah that was them a couple of years ago. It’s better now. But not by much. It’s back to like 2008 levels, which let’s be clear is still pretty bad.
This was in the last three months. Police Rd KFC.
Yikes. Yeah I think there are a few who just don’t give a f sadly. Officer is DOG SHIT!
