      Me too! I pulled everything out from under our beds to vacuum and decided I hated having stuff stored under the beds. Makes it hard to vacuum the dust. So it’s been lined up one side of the hallway for weeks while I very occasionally chip away at it, which is also making it hard to vacuum 🤦🏻‍♀️But the coffee and shortbread session #2 is underway lol.

      Nice haul! Cheaper Buy Miles? They had 1kg wheels of brie for $15 yesterday and people were buying them 2 at a time, as fast as they could restock. Was sorely tempted.

        It is indeed CBM, so this pile cost less than some single blocks! Missing a good stinky cheddar and maybe some spreadable goat, but otherwise sorted for the whole party season 😺

          That place is a goldmine of inexpensive goods! I bought some relish there for $1 a jar, and the Bonne Maman was I think 2ish dollars a jar! Yass!

            I’m rather fond of playing noodle roulette: package image implies spicy but can’t read a single word on the thing. Yes!

    I’m gonna be cooking a chooko in the airfryer using native herbs and spices. Please pray for it to be juicy and tender.

    I’d like to give thanks to all those workmen out there who don’t remove all their signs when they finish work. My cherry tomatoes are being supported on stakes supplied by Yarra Valley Water, my raspberries have a trellis made from a sign from an unknown road contractor, and the same sign provided corflute panels which are protecting the fence from built up garden beds.

      update: Visual artificing suggests migraine . Disregard

      (I get fucking cluster headaches on occasion, a migraine is actually very very little to me)

    It’s my second last night out here before I return to Melbourne. A beautiful cool day and as the sun sets I can hear the lyre birds making their laser gun/magpie/alarm noises and feel an immense sense of peace.

    Sadly, I did not finish off the last bit of outstanding work due to patchy internet and no electricity in the cabin (and, tbh, not being remotely in the mood for it while away). But I’m starting to see a way forward where I can finish it off when I get back with a sense of positivity and appreciation and relief at completing this part of life, rather than resentment and aversion and anxiety because I didn’t finish it on time.

    Happened a few years back but, just now reading about a school lunch chef in Nebraska fired for adding kangaroo meat to the chilli.

      What was the complaint? People don’t want to unknowingly eat roo? I doubt whatever it replaced was legally classifiable as meat anyway.

        Yeah the roo was too “exotic” for the school lunch program and therefore unsuitable.

        Basically just ignorance about the product. Which is ironic for a learning institution.

    Oh my golly gee gosh moses. That was the most juiciest chook I’ve ever eaten. Even the breasts which I usually avoid. Time for a nap.

    Apologies in advance, but the Lemmy upgrade appears to have broken the bot’s ability to post - it is trying, but it can’t actually connect to any communities for some reason. ☹️

    If one of the nightowls could make a post at midnight that would be great - we can declare it “Manual Monday” and I can poke at the programming tomorrow when I have had some sleep.

        There were initially issues with logging in, but I got that sorted out. IIt’s now giving an error message when trying to connect to the individual communities, so something may have changed there. None of the other community bots seem to have posted daily threads today, so I guess it’s not just my dodgy bot having issues with the change. The last major upgrade to Lemmy made some API changes that broke a lot of things, so it is definitely possible they have done the same again.

        I was hoping to get some working code for the post sorted out today (based on working code from other communities) and then work on the cron stuff to trigger it (standby for questions regarding that, I am likely to have some!). But it is likely to take longer if everyone’s bots are having the same issue.
