      Should be charged a higher rego too. They’re friggin stupid. no one NEEDS one. A Triton or Landcruiser can do almost everything a yank tank can do, and you dont look like a member of a small penis support group whilst they do it.

    Ladies and gentlemen…

    I did it. My bowls are free. And neither of them was sacrificed to the Great Smash

    Jesus fucking Christ. It only took trying every-fucking-thing, on and off throughout an entire fucking day

    Operation Increase Kiddos Chilli Tolerance Without Them Knowing continues to be a success, with tonight’s meatball mix having a good swig of yucateco.

      Good! I’m so sick of hearing about this nuggets only bullshit. Unless the kid has ARFID or something, feed them food not pap.

      Over the first six movies, it’s pretty-much a who’s who of British actors. It’s fun to spot them all. I don’t recall any new members added to the ensemble for the final two films.

    I went on Bumble BFF to make some friends and I suspiciously have 40 matches in one day.

    I have a sneaking suspicion that it’s not just friends people are looking for…

      Put them on the bench with a towel underneath and put a bag of frozen peas (still in the bag) in the top bowl, wait until the top bowl is cold on the outside, then turn them on the side and give them a firm but gentle tap on top of the towel.

      Submerge the lot totally and hope a tiny air bubble will rise and break the seal from the inside.

      You may have to sacrifice one to save the other. Put a groove in the bottom edge of the lower one with a nail file, then tap FIRMLY on the bench to shatter it. If you are holding the top one, it should be unharmed. A teatowel on the bench may help corral the shards for disposal. Rubber gloves as per StudSpud’s comment are a very good idea.

      Squirt an air compressor in the gap? Got a mechanic nearby?

      Glue a piece of wood to each bowl, let it set, pull them apart.

      Make a loop of string and try and feed / saw it into the gap,

      Sacrifice one bowl.

      Fill your sink with hot water, put the bowls in, put ice cubes in the top bowl.

      Put a little fuel in there and light it on fire somewhere safe.

      Personal massage device to vibrate them apart.

      Good luck.

        Staff at personal devices shop: Welcome! How can I help you?
        AJ: I’d like a massage device that vibrates.
        Staff: Any preference for size and shape?
        AJ: Something gentle. It’s for my bowls who love each other too much.

      Seriously though, wow. The vacuum between the bowls must be strong, or the friction.

      I’m sure you have already, but maybe rubber gloves might help? Like to pull them apart? I don’t know sorry, that sucks!

    Today’s project completed: one large tote bag to carry my meals to work. The fabric is designed for outdoor furniture, with a lining of the type of fabric used for packs and sportsbags. This should mean it will last well - the old bag got quite manky because of the condensation formed by ice bricks. It did make it hard to sew though, both because of how thick it is and because the lining fabric was slippery. Miss Meow did her best to assist. Spoiler: it didn’t help.

      That is very uncanny.

      Today I was going to buy a bag that is very similar, same shape and size, heavy tapestry in the same colour palette. I just wanted it for the fabric, to repurpose as chair upholstery, so declined at the price .

      seriously uncanny

    Yay, managed to get one overdue garden produce/kitchen task done - basil pesto (the damn things were flowering desperately and might not have lasted another week without harvesting. I had to chuck out about 20g of spotty/yellowed leaves…).

    I have no parmesan or nutritional yeast, so I peeled extra garlic and quickly shallow fried the cloves in oil, added that with toasted sunflower seeds and a bit of extra salt - verdict: it’s delicious! I don’t miss the cheese at all. Cheap and easy. Just put most of it in an ice cube tray for future re-use. Somehow it’s ended up a lot darker green this time, but I don’t mind!

    The other overdue job I really need to do tomorrow, before it warms up again, is give the curry leaf plants a big haircut (timing is really pushing it). Gonna make a big batch of South Indian-style curry leaf sambol/chutney with coconut and fresh green chillies also from the balcony, then freeze most of it. Might hunt down some frozen coconut since I think my dessicated stuff is getting kind of old, and I want this to be a smashing sambol

    This is called kafta bil khebez (meat in bread). It’s basically kebab meat inbetween lebanese bread.

    Now why I was laughing was instead of waiting for the meat to reach room temperature so it’s easier to spread my man was standing at the table giving CPR compressions to the meat with both hands.

    Kmart pakige arrived.

    The magnetic laundry shelves stick well but the baskets are teeny tiny. They won’t hold a few of the items I wanted to put in there. Photo mildly misleading. Still it’s better than the suction cup hook I had holding the hand towel. The art supplies look good.

      Can you use a heavier bowl for the water? I have an old shallow ceramic serving bowl which has been given a new life as the garden birdbath. Maybe you have something lurking in the back of a cupboard you don’t use anymore?

    I have gravely disappointed the Void. Usually the washing machine beeping signals an Outside Adventure with Bugs! And Grass!

    I set up the airer inside. Shame on me.

    Yay, my Markeplace buyer showed up! After a couple of no show/ghosts on the one item I was starting to lose hope. But I have now gotten rid of the last of my unwanted items that is too big and difficult to get rid of any other way. Everything else should be either donateable to the op shop or suitable for hard rubbish (some with an attempt to sell first, but not really an issue if no one wants them).

    I have been surprised by the complete lack of interest in my cheesemaking supplies, they are a good deal. But if no interest in the next week or so I willl op shop them instead. Then it will mostly be a bunch of old tools and camping equipment. The tools should be a good deal for someone who wants to sort out and resell, I have no interest in doing that much work so will put them up as a lot. No idea if there will be much interest in the tent, its a heavyweight canvas one not the funky dome style, but hopefully it will find a new home, it would be a shame to toss it.
