The earwigs have already gotten to the mint :/

Mint is resilient. It will be fine.

Anyone got a good camping equipment/supplies list...? Taking our camper out on its maiden trip tomorrow

Edit - we're going to powered sites. Is there any reason I can't take the air fryer.....?

Fitness achieved. Now I market

Puttered to local farmers market, his lordship went ham on pickles and whisky. Then disappeared into his brewery while i took on the task of digging a hole, then refilling it with a different media woooo.

Then burgers. Massive, massive burgers

Oops. No wonder the cats didn't join me last night - I could have sworn I turned the (oil column) heater off last night but evidently not.
Mind you, if there was ever a night to leave it on... 🥶.
Anyway fire is roaring courtesy of those wax firestarters, Zooks is clamped to the heater while it retains heat, Sammi is in my lap and the birdies are on the screen. Not bad all things considered.

🎼🎶 I just woke up, should I drink water and stretch?
No no
Gonna drink three cups of coffee and smoke a cigarette instead
And then I'll go on social media until it's dinner time
Yeah!
Smoke some weed, and then I'll binge eat
Then I got a little time to complain online!🎶🎶

Well, I picked one. Eyewateringly expensive but most of the filler seemed to be potatoes which hopefully reduce the amount of peas. Still expecting a sore tummy and a whiffy little booty.

I’m going to try and chase a refund for at least one of the bags of the usual stuff (first one was bought in store, emptied into sealed container and bag + receipt thrown out - second is unopened, from Petcircle and has a digital trail).

I’m not happy though. This is a repeated quality issue with allergy friendly dry food and I keep being unable to feed my cat the stuff I’m stretching to afford. They send replacement bags when I complain but those have the same damn issue.

I don’t even have the batch number of the last known good batch like with the last brand 😢

I finally (though could be because mum was cleaning too) am cleaning up my room. Desk is a little clean (though it's like ADHD clean, so clean for me but messy for my mum), put clothes away, made my bed after it not being made in a few weeks, and after dinner I'm going to vacuum the floor. I'm pretty happy with that. I wanted to play Starfield all day today but I'm happy that I got the review finished and my room cleaned tbh.

Hey Bot good to see ya. We're going shit it the ODI against India. It's a little embarrassing actually but our very own Adam Zampa got the first wicket. I'll keep you updated 👍

Wrapped up in blankets made of thorns
Placations to fend off scathing scorn.
Worry not, my friend, about connections;
We're still here despite your deflections.
You can hide in the desert of your isolation,
Meanding through ruins and desolation.
A consolation of a kind, a reminder in the night,
Flee into your mind, but find a way back to the light,
Back to me.

Just drank a lovely large bottle of La Chouffe. Strong Belgian beer. It's like 5 standard drinks in the bottle and I'm feeling giddy.
