IT Professional, NUFC Fan, Dad and long-time hobbyist. I also like to cook.
I can sense your desperation to get that job application done 👍
Hopefully you can sense my envy
Wow. Friday is here and my list of things to do is getting smaller. Just the one thing scheduled in the calendar meeting wise, but when I got in this morning there has been a massive failure at one location that I have to deal with as top priority.
Put everything in place and all of a sudden I’m hit with the sleepies as a result of our coffee beans running out and there not being enough for my normal IV drip of coffee that would last me the day.
On Sunday I’ve made a plan to do a bunch of snacky cooking while my wife takes the son to the park for a few ours. By the time they’re back I’m hoping to have a smorgasboard of delights for us to kill off the evening with a movie. Maybe OG Space Jam? Other suggestions appropriate for a 3-4 year old are welcome.
What is the polite way to tell someone that the smell of a horse that died 2 weeks ago shouldn’t be coming out of your ass at 10AM?
Anyway, I’ve been watching Australian MasterChef. It’s fun to watch and is one of the few cooking shows where there is a mix of “I can cook better than most of these people” and “Oh that’s a good trick I’ll do that in the future”. It’s an easy watch with my wife and judge the contestants, make up our own dishes and rate theirs based on appearance and imagined flavour. 😂
That’s why it’s called the recovery position. You’ll recover faster in it.
Haha. Tickled me at least.
Last night I stood out on the back steps for 5 minutes or so just absorbing the moisture in the rain directly to my soul.
Somehow it was still dry as a nuns wotsit this morning when I walked into the office.
The trick to avoiding nonreddit is reminding myself how angry everyone is at reddit. 😂
Thank god the rain is back to cool me off. On the scorching Saturday I took on the challenge of doing a Beef Wellington. Here is the image of that hard work.
Then get kicked for not moderating their community
Tell me more friend. I had a browse, so you’ve set up your own instance with only your account on. Then from there, you can essentially manage your own version of lemmy/kbin etc. with your own subscriptions and it’ll federate those magazines?
I think this could be the answer for the way I intend to go forward.
Haha. Gotta do what you gotta do I guess.
I’ll steer clear of the nearby coast at this time of year. It’s too crowded, too hot, and there’s sand everywhere. Mostly I just hate the people.
Wait a minute. You’re right! It’s Fridddaaaay! Woooooooooo
Haha, the weather I hadn’t factored in until you just said it. I’m sure I’ll be fine. I’m-in-danger.gif
Haha, well it’s cultivated over years. I don’t think I could live anywhere that didn’t have some form of decent restaurant options and people I could occasionally subject to my imitation of good cooking. As for music, I’m not like the headbanging rock live music type, but a casual evening listening to Hans Zimmer? That’s a music event for me.
You must have chosen to live out in the sticks if that isn’t a little bit of an option?
Going out tonight to have a nice steak at a new Steakhouse in town. Then stroll down the hill to see some live music be played in the venue I got married in.
No child to look after tonight so a nice full night sleep 🤨
Tomorrow hosting two friends and going to make a Beef Wellington for the first time, excited to do that.
“That’s one hell of an explanation to give to the arresting police officer. And I’d appreciate if you didn’t call me a twat.”
Ha. I don’t mind the rain noise so much. But getting used to the Pink Noise was surprisingly painless that first night.
Gives you that real warm feeling before bed I bet!
Listened to “Pink noise” to see if it would help me sleep on Tuesday night, felt a bit better but couldn’t be 100% whether it actually helped get to a deeper sleep.
So last night tried going to sleep with an audiobook playing and feel like crap. Could be a coincidence, but it means tonight I’m trying that pink noise again and today will be harder.
Coffee beans were running low too, so me and the wife had to split half a pot of coffee between us. That’s a sure-fire way for everyone to be lethargic and moody through the day xD
Interesting. I’m currently on the “Reputation doesn’t mean anything” modus operandi. It might be something we will all need to consider moving forward though.
