I've had to move my open mic to next week due to feeling sick :( sorry for the short notice to anyone that was wanting to come along
Edit: I have the day after off from work because Saturday is my birthday so we can have a couple of drinks lol
I had a bunch of random fruits shoveled into my bag at the free food market today. Including gold kiwi fruit that I don't really like, so this afternoon's job will be kiwifruit chutney. I'll also chop up the peaches for the freezer (they are generally a bit bruised and not great for eating fresh).
I also got some chicken to roast and lots of salad kits, so meal prep has pretty much sorted itself out for the next few days!
Marge had a grumble but Huey isnโt sending it down. Melbcat has still retreated
Hard to tell who's dressed for work, and who's making their way home after a big night ๐ค

Actual footage of the pathology nurse realising my hairy arms are perfect for inflicting maximum surface area coverage with the paper tape:
Oh my god, as a woman unfortunate to be cursed with lots of body hair, ripping off the paper tape is worse than whatever required the use of the tape, most of the time.

For me on the other hand I was lucky enough to grow a beard and buy strongbows when I was 16. I was very popular for a bit there.
What in the ever loving Mary Shelly nightmare is the Helicoprion's mouth in that quiz???
I want to buy more seeds and garden stuff but the moneyโฆ the limited number of pots and the invasive grassโฆ the fact that it might get stolen or the garden destroyed/raidedโฆ
:(
Bereft of the left it's obvious theft
Stay to my right and keep me in sight

US election comments
Iโm very dismayed by the US election result. I wouldnโt have been shocked at a trump win, I thought it would be close so was a possibility. But was not mentally prepared for a such a large margin. So many Americans want this? I would like to think they didnโt understand what they were really voting for. I have a sinking feeling thinking about what the next four years might have ahead both for Americans, and globally for places like Ukraine and the Middle East.
I'm undecided on whether or not I should cancel my gym membership and switch to the council instead. The gym I'm currently at is a group fitness gym which is a highly motivating and supportive environment, and great for making sure I see people considering I don't really have a third space besides school and work. However, I miss going to a gym with machines and the council one has a pool. Plus it's cheaper. Only the social aspect missing. I think it's a case of loss aversion here.
I should add that I'm not using it as often as I like to get value out of it.
the social aspect is of very great value. I would stay where you are.
