I kind of had part 1 of my weekend yesterday and this morning. Now that I've mostly recharged and got a second wind of energy I'll be working late into the night at my own pace. I can see and think clearly now that I know I won't get any more emails until Monday...

Gonna make a simple pasta with onion, garlic, Sirena tuna and broccoli and chuck in some chipotle in adobo sauce for something out of left field. Then on to the next stage of compiling all this stuff together.

e: dinner - I forget how spicy these chipotles are πŸ₯΅pasta with broccoli and tuna and some red chipotle in adobo sauce stirred through, in a pan on the stove

now playing: mais que nada

I just remembered I dropped a piece of chicken last night while I was cooking. Today it is no where to be seen. 😲

Gah. When I went outside to close the gates just now the wind had blown over the bin and the bag of rubbish, and in the dim light it looked like someone had collapsed on the path.
Gave me a moment, I can tell you.

I think this was what @bottomracer was talking about yesterday. Winter in South America

In the book about Africa I'm reading Schweitzer describes how crops can't be planted there as the too warm seasons make the plants grow so fast the wheat seeds don't fatten and potatoes don't grow tubers. They need time to develop. Will that happen here?

I took the seasons for granted. I think everyone did. πŸ˜”

Thank god it’s the weekend, it was a long day at work, particularly since it was supposed to be my day off. I hope we at least see a little sunshine β˜€οΈ sometime during the weekend.

Have people used new names on here? I do recognise a lot of usernames but some people feel familiar without quite being able to place you

If you had $5000 to spend on yourself what would you spend it on? Not including bills nor can you give it away. Totally self indulgent. I'd go straight to the book shop, then the pub and then uber home with my books.

Sky sort of pretty, but I don't like the forecast. Laundry might have to be Sunday unless I run out of socks.

In other news, I have been informed that my bike is now ready to pick up from bicycle hospital. It sprang a leak in the back wheel on Wednesday which has now been fixed. For the princely sum of $40 or thereabouts. Love livin' in the inner north.

I'd probably do the same thing. Watch the downvoting now.

ffs, the ring is so weak that just putting it in a paper envelope protects Gandalf from it's evil effects.

why didn't he just wrap it up real good and take it to mt doom himself?

the story is so full of holes

He should have put it in his prison purse instead.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

but then how would he have thrown it into the fire?

He would have been too weak, he would have said, "No"
