Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
baked whiting ( from frozen ) with baked sweet potatoes and steamed vegies. Super easy dinner. 👍
I love whiting and orange roughly and blue grenadier and snapper. Alright I love them all. Enjoy.
Windy. My kinetic sculpture has become a frenetic sculpture.
So, the idea of moving us to the Aldi Family Plan has been put on hold. After the helpful link from @bull and a lot more comparison, I settled on getting 2x Boost starter packs for my wife and I, and an Aldi SIM for the kid. We'll go to annual boost plans (probably the $230 one) and the kid will go on the basic $19 Aldi plan. That still comes out to a lot (like, 40%) less than the Aldi family plan. It was an attractive idea to have us on a single account sharing data and getting one bill for the month, but this is loads cheaper.
Maybe we'll look into it again in three years when the other kid gets to high school/his own phone.
And my roof is peeling off in the wind!
A literal, call the SES right now peeling off, or a figurative rattling and feels like it might peeling off?
Thank you to awesome roof plumber. The whole thing is technically “fucked” but the immediate bit won’t fall off today. Packing intensity increases.
There's a local Christmas market on this afternoon/evening (yes they've moved it indoors) I was really looking forward to walking down and having a shop and supporting the local businesses but it's feral out there.
Not sure what to do
