TV review. Mother's Instinct. How boring, how unoriginal, another spree killer movie. But wait, this one is edgy, it has 1960s repressed housewives with perfect make up. ๐
2 hobbits because the production is pretty and the leads are good and maybe you like these stories
The Acolyte. This is NOT the Mandalorian. No fucks given for any of the characters, acting is passable. This show has had a charisma bypass.
maybe 1/2 hobbit cos it's made in that incredible surround studio
I'm so glad I didn't have to leave at eight and drop off my car this morning. ๐ฅถ
After my partner went to work, I went for a walk and got a coffee from Mokum. It's a Dutch place, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I always giggle at the name and say "mo' cum" heheh.
Anyway, they give you a small ginger biscuit with your coffee, and taking a bite then taking a sip is just the most delectable experience. Such a lovely place!
If you're ever on Sydney Rd, drop into Mokum. Just a great cafe!
I love those places that give you a biscuit with your coffee. They always get a boost in my coffee selection mental algorithm
Do they have Pannenkoeken?
Edit. They do! Holy shit!...and Boerenomelet.... No way...
They do have pannenkoekje, one savoury and one sweet.

Edit: just saw your edit hahaha! It's such a great place!!
Does anyone here use this kind of heater?
Just wondering if it's safe? Can't find much info online. Was worried about CO2 poisoning.
My mum used to have one - gave us all the heebee jeebies when the flame went out but the gas still kept on a-coming. OK when new but there's better options out there now. Replace if possible.
Not for years... I'd get one of those carbon monoxide stickers and put it in the room.
brrrr
Shrieks indicate Boyo has found a spider in the yard. I shall need my cape and hammer.
I get real warmed up cooking dinner then eating.
