    Urghhh its like ghostbusters ii and i am vigo

    Which is oddly ironic as i am marathoning the US version of ghosts. The UK version is some warm fuzzies but the US is straight up unhinged and i am here for it.

      the new chuck portrait? 😬

      I actually love it. It’s like two portraits in one, a portrait of Britain and all it’s blood soaked history and a portrait of Charles, a man living in the now trying to make a new history and his history.

    Monk series last 3 episodes.

    Very nice series ender, nice endings for every character, nothing surprising, it all seemed like natural conclusions to stories in the series. Like a short story, you see how the series was just a section of their lives, there was a before and there is an after.

    I think the series was about love, grief and friendship.

    I do wonder how eccentric special Monk’s skills were. Can every viewer figure it out?

    TV review. Secrets of the Neanderthals on Netflix.

    A lovely documentary with good dramatic depictions of Neanderthals and Neanderthal life and the scientists who work to reveal their heritage. 3 hobbits

    If anyone is interested I can recommend the book Kindred by Rebecca Wragg Sykes on Neanderthals. Best book I read last year, it used science to bring Neanderthal people to life. The stories were very moving. https://www.rebeccawraggsykes.com/kindred

      Charm comes from being your authentic self. Sounds cliche but that whole “you could be the best, most delicious apple, but there will still be people who don’t like apples” saying.

      Be you, the whole of you. And you will attract and charm those who you like as well.

    It’s bin day and we’re waiting for the pick up. Elderly neighbour was out and on his way back home reversed into his bins, knocking them over and spilling a bit of crap on the nature strip and footpath.

    Did he notice? Absolutely not.

    Did he go out and pick it up? No chance.

    Did I do the right thing, rush out and tidy up as the rubbish truck was at the top of our street? Yes, but was grumbling the entire time.

    My biggest issue was that it took the rubbish truck a few minutes to do it’s round. Not long enough for me to back inside, but just too long to stand outside waiting andlooking like an impatient resident that is totally judging the truck driver’s performance.

      I clean up, whenever I haven’t I’m just bothered by litter around my street until the council monthly sweeper comes through.

        I like it when my street is clean. If there’s any rubbish around after the truck comes past, I’ll pick it up and put in my bin. This was more that neighbours’ bins wouldn’t have been picked up if knocked over.

      I can relate to this.

      Sometimes my back is so sore I can’t bend over to pick things up. I just look at them. If it’s at home I wait until I can pick it up but somewhere else, I will try my best but if I can’t I can’t.

      might be worth putting a letter in the mailbox or something. Or if its a continued pattern of behavior report 'em. Today its the bin, Tomorrow could be a kid on a bike.

        Good idea with the letter. Hitting the bins wasn’t my main concert. Shit happens at slow speed. Not noticing that he did it was the alarm bells.

    I saw a kitty litter box with enter and exit doors and I wondered if kitty would care if it accidentally Dutch ovened it self.

    Unbelievably, I made the shepherd’s pie! The texture didn’t really come out how I thought it would, though I think that’s because maybe I used this brand of tinned jackfruit that I honestly never should use again, too much of the tough core and not enough flesh.

    However, the umami/flavour is out of this world. Lots of it would be from the tomato paste, dried mushrooms and soy sauce, but I think the coffee definitely added a certain something to it too… must try again with some tweaks.

    Maybe I’ll make a spag bol sauce on the weekend with the remaining tomato paste and tvp mince, and see if the coffee trick works again 🤔 ☕ 😋

      I am so intrigued. I made a cottage pie this week with some chicken and mushrooms as the base and then the usual vegies like carrots and peas and celery. Mashed taters on top of course. I used a vegie stock cube for some gravy.

      It’s a great hot meal for a cold night. I have mine with melted butter on top of the taters. 🤤😋😋
