Got a reply from HG, suspicions alleviated.
I used cold brew instead of water in my vanilla manshake and it’s not bad! If I post “help help” in about 30 minutes then I’m having a little bit of a heart attack so please send help.
I can confirm there are plenty of shake sachets at aldi in Melton. I went yesterday to the one in High St.
Lovely thanks! I’ll swing by there on Monday and grab some to try out
Cold brew is a great addition to smoothies. It’s mostly water anyway, so you’re still getting that hydration - technically
I really could’ve benefited from staying in bed til 10am today. I am le tired, though I hsve no missiles…
So have a nap.
ZEN FIRE ZE MISSILES!

Heading to aldi, going to buy some of their dumplings for the first time, amongst other things. Anyone need anything while I’m there?
Edit: anyone know the best way to prepare the dumplings? I don’t have a steamer. I was thinking I’d do them in a frying pan with a very shallow layer of water, lid onI lightly pan fry with oil (lid off), chuck some water in (lid on) give it a minute or two, lid off for a bit until evaporated and get them a bit crispy.
Jaffa Cakes please!
I couldn’t find any 😢
The end times are nigh!!
Not chicken. Theirs has an odd plastic taste.
Or… buy a steamer. The brown bottom method doesn’t work for all dumpling types.
That’s the way. Put a bit of oil in your frying pan, put the dumplings in, when they get a brown bottom put about 1/3 of a cup of water, turn the heat down to a simmer and put the lid on. When the water has evaporated they should be ready.
Check out the chilled food section - Aldi sometimes has peking duck dumplings. They are yum but very rich.
They had some Korean beef ones but I decided to skip em and try the OG frozen ones
We finished watching all episodes of Superstore last week which was sad. I’m gonna start the man on The Inbetweeners which I know I’m gonna get wtf and your kid watched this??? Then Derry Girls I think.
Bus Wanker!!

The Inbetweeners reminds me a bit of Grange Hill which I used to watch with Miss Seagoon.
omg, my allergies are driving me crazy, so itchy everywhere
My nose is swollen shut, and my eyes are weepy. Bloody pollen
Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening.

oooh, I heard some thunder
Me too
My house just lit up like a Christmas tree and got a good rumble
Cultures not back yet. One vet was willing to give Melbcat the stronger pain meds but another has decided against it, so the compromise was giving an extra dose of her existing medication.
They’re saying results will probably be in on Tuesday so baby girl will be going the weekend without antibiotics and only pain relief. She’s got fussy and peed on stuff tonight so I gave her the last dose of the strong stuff.
She will no longer eat wet food if it has extra water so maybe I can try some tuna juice or weak allium free broth.
So many hugs to you both
Crossing fingers for Melbcat.
Ok, after an hour’s lie down I’ve recovered a bit and making myself go in to watch the film. I likely won’t have the opportunity to watch it anywhere else, and it’s good to expand one’s horizons and get out of one’s head. Especially prior to a holed-up weekend of reading and rewriting (as now my proposal is somewhat different)… Wearing a mask to at least slightly reduce the chance of getting some new shitty infection. Can’t afford that this weekend!
I don’t know what ratio? I should use to take a video and up load it. Anyway he’s rocking out with us.
You can tickle it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5376wzvxUpo
Thanks for that!

Here’s a song a sung and played on guitar a few months ago.
I recorded it on my phone and uploaded to Google drive.

I fuck up in the middle for a sec lol
You have a sure touch on your instrument. Voice suits the subject too. I like it.
Thank you ❤️ always looking for constructive criticism. I’m heading back out to perform in a few weeks, nervous but very excited.
Keep us updated - I’m sure some of us would be able to attend (and form a cheer group).
That’d be really sweet actually. Will do ❤️
Love it!
Thank you 🙂 I don’t usually share stuff so it’s nice to get some positive feed back ❤️
Movie Review. Kick-Ass.
Thoughts on an R rating for a movie about violence and force perpetrated and suffered by children.
In real life children can suffer all the same horrors as adults and too often do. I really do think we should put our effort in protecting children from real life violence rather than fictional violence.
And maybe fictional violence can help children understand the world around them better.
I don’t like violence, doesn’t mean it’s good to pretend it doesn’t exist.
I enjoy violent movies and video games as long as the context is there. Gore and senseless violence for the sake of it doesn’t work for me.
Kids know the difference thankfully and are cognisant of real vs fake
In real life, I can’t stand seeing people get hurt or hurting others.
So this is the set up we have going. 2 boom boxes synced together on opposite sides of the room. When they die the big boys go on. 2 Philips hue overhead light globes in disco mode synced to the music. Microphone connected to the old computer speakers. Lyrics on the TV. I could get more flashing lights going but I don’t want to. It’s like a comfy night club for old people.
This is one of the computer speakers.
This is incredibly fucking cool!
It’s cool cos it’s daggy as. 😎
You can get small scale laser show projectors for like $20.
I’ll get on to it. I have this little fella. He dances to music.
This reminds me, I tried to fix the speaker lag on my tv, can’t fix it because it’s wireless. 🙄
Oh that would shit me to tears. Up there with a not quite tuned in properly radio.
