    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.

      Cold brew is a great addition to smoothies. It’s mostly water anyway, so you’re still getting that hydration - technically

    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 on

    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.

    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!

    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.
