According to my daughter you don’t really need cutlery. Steak just pick it up and use your hands. Salad the same. Soup just slurp out of the bowl. I think this is the Arab in her that utilises hands and bread. I will still provide cutlery at my table thank you very much.
She’s right…but you’re righter
Look, hear her out… washing your hands after a meal is a lot easier than washing cutlery. Plus if you eat off and grab food with bread/pita/lavash there is no cleanup there.
A terrible tragedy in the Raven household, the water fountain has died. The pets will be forced to drink still water until a replacement pump arrives. The indignity of it.
Lol you just reminded me of the time a housemate of mine (many moons ago) got one of those bamboo zen Feng Shui tabletop water fountain things for Xmas. The water was constantly needing to be topped up for some reason, and eventually the motor burnt out. The cat looked decidedly miffed at this turn of events.
Do you have a bath that the cats jump into? Maybe you could set up a bowl with the water just trickling a tiny bit into it?
I think she’ll be ok drinking from the bowl still, but the flowing water is definitely better.
Pumps often do tend to have a limited lifespan. This does vindicate my decision to pay for their 10 year extended warranty when I bought the fountain (something I normally don’t do as they are generally a bad deal). The standard warranty is 2 years, I’ve had it just under 3.

Thank you to all the people who gave me words of wisdom yesterday. I love this little community. And it’s nice to have people on my side. 🫶
I’ve got some self-care to do. Unread books, movies to watch, doggo to pat, new gym to try. Yesterday my dad made me stand in the green waste bin to squash down the leaves and branches. It’s the little things.
These bad feelings will pass. I will feel moments of joy again. I will focus on me and ultimately live the life I want to live. I will be okay.
P.S. I’m plugging this now, if you’re into seeing your music listening stats - last.fm! Also good to keep up with what friends are listening to (and see who listens the most)!
So many hugs.
fresh mango has been eaten, storm clouds are moving in
Coming in from Mildura… Guess it’ll be a humid night again.
Must make sure I get up early enough tomorrow to finish the rest of my gardening before the rain hits…
Good morning!
Good morning 🌄
New bakery at the market, tucked in a laneway. They do excellent Portuguese tarts.
This is dangerous.
QVM?
Si.
Publique is stashed in Brewer Lane near the library
Ooh yum, I love those tarts.
They’re my favourite baked good
Just found a few microbats in the outside brolly I just put up. They are cute little things.
Kinda feel bad for disturbing them. Brolly hasn’t been opened since last summer so i imagine it was a bit of a shock.
I’ve been watching high level math videos
To fall asleep to,
I don’t know who that Riemann was
But his hypothesis is cool.About prime numbers and zeta functions,
They woosh above my head,
Correlating with a graph describing something else,
A millennium problem so I’ve read.my brain went 😵💫 reading up on the mathematics of rotation and revolutions
G’day spud! Maths always threatened to put me to sleep too… except trig, for some reason… 🎱⚪
Bloody hell, why are 500mm diameter round pavers so hard to find?
Could you make 'em?
I just finished listening to an audio book of the anthropology of Neanderthals and I feel quite emotional! Truly they were our brothers and sisters and I am so sad they are gone.
Although not an audio book I too will be indulging in an educational book. The complete adventures of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie.
Hey, pals. I’m doing my free handmade toys again for 2024; here’s the link if you’d like to check out the post on Reddit (boo hiss) and here’s the link if you know the gist and would like to make a nomination ❤️
Ok thank God for context because I thought ok wow that is some service they are offering 😂
Updated for more context lol
Would you mind sharing your patreon here?
Can you do self-promotion here? Feels weird. 😅
It’s for a good (and small) cause and not profit, and also not from a random who joined the group for the sole purpose of self-promotion, so I say I it’s fine. 🙂
Just don’t try to sign us up to do a research project, those people on Reddit were annoying.
Ha! No research goin’ on over here.
Thanks :)
Here you go :) I post most days; little life updates, works in progress, and now that I’m doing this project, I’ll be sharing the process.
Thank you, I’ll look into joining on payday. Have you done this before? I feel like I’ve seen the idea around before, but can’t quite remember if it was you or somebody else doing something similar. If you have, how often do you do it?
No pressure! Yeah, that was me :) I think I’ve done it five or six times now. I try to do it a few times a year but last year was a bad one for me so I only did it once. Hoping to do some more this year.
I wanted to put one in for my next door neighbour as they’re going through a rough period at the moment but I wasn’t sure what size or creation to go with.
Still thinking about it.
And thank you for doing this!
My pleasure :) I’ll keep the nominations open for a couple of days so hmu if you think of something.
i might be addicted to rice crackers
Hey @Duenan@aussie.zone not a good pick for you tonight buddy.
Tomorrow Heat vs Hurricanes. I pick the Heat. Good luck!
CEO - 7 Duenan - 8
I wasn’t able to watch the match tonight due to a few things and visitors.
Not sure how bad the loss was but it was worth a shot on them!
Good luck for tomorrow!
Sixers won by 7 wickets with 11 balls left.
