I didn't pay enough attention to the recipe for the last meal kit item I was going to make for dinner and just assumed it would be in the typical 30-60 mins timeframe. But it is slow cooked for at least 2 hours. So beef stew has now been reschedulted for tomorrow night and I've got some sausages and bread rolls defrosting for tonight instead.

It becomes an official term if we can get enough people using it.

Windy.

My security camera alerted me to a cardboard box crossing my driveway, and on our walk we followed a couch cushion blowing down the footpath. I also have a new collection of rubbish blown into the corner of my yard where it tends to gather (fortuitously it is the corner I keep the rubbish bins in).

To become the local curtain twitching nutter (CTN) you need to be calling in repeatedly, probably for multiple neighbours. A real CTN calls 000 weekly as a minimum, but if you are properly commited to it requires multiple calls a day.

If you are worried enough to ask the question here you're worried enough to make a welfare call.

Call it through to police on 000 - it might not seem like enough of an "emergency", but it is something that gets organised via 000. Don't worry you are wasting police time, they do a lot of welfare checks and there is almost never something actually wrong, but some of the time someone has fallen and is lying on the floor in desperate need of help and organising the check saves their life.

Banana split please.

It has been a beautiful sunny afternoon. I took Mr Woof out for a walk and let him pick the route. Miss Meow helped bring in the washing off the line, which primarily involved rolling around on the concrete under the washing line.

Based on the photos, police are waiting with serving trays for protestors with saucepans to arrive with a meal. They look very optomistic about likely serving sizes, so it may be a bit of a loaves and fishes situation. I presume once everything's served up everyone will sit down for a meal together and work out how to achieve world peace.

Could be worse

I've just scraped the ice off my windscreen

Midnight gnocci was great. I was a bit worried about having to cook the gnocci in the microwave, but it worked fine. I am now gnocciful and ready for the rest of the night.

It's nearly midnight gnocci time.

I've never really managed to get the hang of naps. Falling asleep during the day just doesn't happen.
