What's the bluish thing in the jar?
Just the colour of the ziplock bag to weigh it down.
Well, well, well. "I love you" slipped out today. I don't regret it.
Aww..
Embrace the love.
Rain incoming. Not particularly heavy, but quite widespread. I reckon will be here within the hour. radar
Hoping it moves my noisy neighbours indoors so I can get some sleep. Would also be nice if it put out the smokey fire they have going.
My garden rejoices and my newly planted seeds are now in with a chance.
I have a list of things I am planning to cook on my days off that I think will far exceed the actual time I have available. I think I need to triage.
Can you overlap any of the cooking?
I have a question for everyone. Apart from the obvious soap, deodorant and toothpaste, what is a beauty product that you use the most, can't get enough of, can't live without?
Mine is rosehip oil. I've used it on my face for years and now I'm using it after shaving and for eczema. Love the stuff.
A decent hand cream. I wash and sanitize my hands all day and frequently change food handling gloves and they get so dry! I'm not fussy about the brand, but it has to readily absorb and smell gorgeous because it gives me a brief aromatherapeutic mood boost. At the end of the day before I walk out the door I slather it on my hands and walk out of work rubbing it in. ATM I've got Ovidia next to the bed and Freshwater Farm in my work bag. Also paw paw ointment for the lips and occasional cuticle application.
A decent lip balm, as otherwise I'm prone to cracked lips. My go to is the standard Palmers Cocoa Butter.
Generic brand Vitamin E cream with a sunscreen. Use it on face and body. Cheap, good and not at all greasy. I HAAAAATE wearing makeup, but this stuff I don't feel at all like I'm wearing anything. Also cheap generic lanolin for dry skin on heels & elbows - slathered on at night and cotton socks over the top. I've had dry skin all my life and these two items have been gamechangers for me. Not so much as beauty as for comfort.
Lanolin is so nice and velvety. I also have dry skin and during winter I use the heavy duty Nivea creme.
I'd say.... Beer ๐ป ๐บ
No wonder you're so youthful I swore there was a secret.
My course costs 1 x 6 pack per hour
Fun fact. In the 1800's water was contaminated because fish fuck in it so from the moment you woke up it was beer o'clock for the whole family.
Small beer - <1% alky. Basically barley kombucha.
Either unscented moisturiser or face sunscreen/spf moisturiser.
But if I had to pick out of them all the answer is probably spf moisturiser tbh
From like age 18 to when it was reformulated to sting and then discontinued I just kept buying the same spf15 Nivea tube and used it every single day even if using nothing else.
For a while dry shampoo was popular too until scent was an issue and I found out about the benzene thing
Salt ocean water cold swims.. no shower.
Free too.
Laundry, market and haircut done
Grass done. Laundry is drying? Humidity is so high it's hard to tell. Glass of wine o'clock.
Starting the hot sauce ferment today eee.
This should be wikkid hot (and hopefully don't get botulism).
It won't be botulism (I don't think) lol the fermentation for hot sauce (and other things) is caused by Limosilactobacillus fermentum (also known as Lactobacillus fermentum).
It can cause Endocarditis; a bacterial infection in/on the heart! Enjoy!
Mmmโฆ a hearty sauce
Hrmm well that doesn't sound too umm.. bad..
Buckle up I guess lol.

Don't use flip top lid bottles. I had a batch over ferment and Boyo coped it to the face. As did the ceiling.
Owch to the face :(
I might ferment these outside knowing my luck.
Being sat on by cat. Can't get up. So sad.
We just put on the Magic Pudding movie and between the animation quality and the cast I thought it came out in 1989. But not too surprised to learn it was actually 2000
I have to admit that I was disappointed with the movie - they downplayed/omitted all the political stuff. The original is a wicked sharp satire on the process of Federation. The movie loses all that stuff and turns it into a wholesome fairy tale. FYI the magic pudding is Federation itself - the other characters are the people who created it for better or for worse. I love the characterisation of NSW as the rooster, and South Australia as the bandicoot. The original illustrations too show who all the participants were very accurately. Barton as Bunyip Bluegum, Parkes as Bill Barnacle. The pudding paddock they all end up in is Canberra. Mr Lindsay has to be congratulated on his drawing skills.
I read they cut a lot out when they adapted it. I might find a good hardcover version soon for the kids
Check out the original text & drawings on Project Gutenberg - and decide whether the very dated language is suitable. It was originally published in 1918 after all. The poems are fun and very quotable. My family still uses the "Eat away, chew away, munch and bolt and guzzle" one as the official start of xmas dinner. Recited in chorus. Would recommend reading it aloud to kids - the book's a lot of fun that way. And you can gloss over the hideous fate of Curry & Rice if you prefer.
Laundry day today. Sunday is going to be cold & wet. And next week likewise. Also gotta cut the grass. Work work work.
Busy this weekend? https://www.trenthamspudfest.org.au/
Ah a festival held in my good, starchy name? Excellent!
Blessed be thy starches ๐โโ๏ธ

I tried out Assetto Corsa Rally and it feels alright, different to Dirt. Also, it's amazing how easy sailing the high seas is on Linux. I downloaded a portable version, just opened it with some Proton GUI tools and it ran. Some slight texture problems, but nothing game breaking and you can't complain for free and working out of the box
