Finally am negative, I am free to fly the nest!!! I still have what I would describe as a head cold but other than that I am good to gooooooo! Time to reschedule everything I've had to cancel in the last two weeks and blow my calendar way out.
OK first attempt at posting a photo...

This is Clyde, one half of the local pair with Bonnie. Been visiting us for years and always bring their juvenile offspring to meet us.
I should probably inform you that this is not an owl. Nor does it appear to run on electricity, but I can't be 100% certain of that.
When I first got my dog people would say "oh he's your boy" and I'm like "no he's my buddy". Now I'm like "come here to mummy. Tell me what you want". I even do baby talk with him which I never did with my own child. I love hearing him crunching on food yet hate it when humans do it.
ain't nothing like a facebook rando threatening to do very real physical violence to you because you pointed out Doctor Who has always been a bit camp.
I thought most people (myself included) were into Doctor Who because it was camp...
I think this arsehole is one of the old guard who's all ITs SeRioUs ScIfI
yes, it is on occasion. It's also camp. And if he's gonna try and anorak me I'll fucking eat his head 'cos I'm equally old school and nerdy (40+ years)....I've just also got social skills and a sex life.
I'm in that demographic. Tell him Amos Burden is also a bit camp.
Are You Being Served?
Mr Humphries was a man's man, and I'll have it no other way!!!
I am that guy.
Side note: That character is one of the best written characters I've ever come across. He's so broken and flawed, but has such a big heart. He knows the parts of his personality that are not calibrated right and compensates for his issues by attaching to people he respects. I'd love to read more about him. Particularly about how he lived in the years before the last chapter of the last book.
I’ve not seen the latest lot (because fuck subscriptions), but I’ll gleefully join you and eat his liver & lights.
cough there is a bay I know of where gentlemen wear eye patches and stumped legs that has the treasures you seek.
to be totally fair, Its gone from a bit more subtle to... drastically less so with Ncuti. I'm not complaining, but for the more oblivious viewers it might've been a bit of a shock.
nah, it's just actually moved with the times. Very gen Z aimed, but it's a TV show, what do you expect?
Good thing I panicked & spent a heap of coin and time on the watering systems in the last 2 months :(
I will be vindicated broken clock and all that but for now I have no idea if what is in actually will keep shit alive in a dry spell.
Ha this is me too. Just a few weeks ago finished a big four-zone system all done in about 120m of buried 19mm pipe.
Thankfully it's all phone-controllable, so we've just been able to hit 'defer' and not have it come on in the rain... but the defer button has been getting a workout :|
I was going to put in sprinklers etc as I’d planted a lot, but the weather has been most helpful thus far. Was worried about planting early summer due to El Niño.
You are better off buying components and setting up and building your experience in the good times, rather than when shtf and everything is sold out/expensive and people are more desperate :)
She's gone again, Miss Seagoon has gone to NZ for a year or so 😭Flight in a few hours
So Gibson is still sluggish today... Do you guys think it's still from yesterday's heat? My appointment with the vet is tomorrow. She's eating and drinking just fine. Just won't move from the bed....
Always worth a look if you are genuinely concerned! My idiot was all floppy and slow once, so I went to the emergency clinic and he actually had a pretty high fever. They gave an injection and it was no joke as if someone had rebooted him, once home it was as if nothing had ever happened.
Yep great point. I booked an earlier appointment for tomorrow.
That's good to know! She might just have a tummy ache from eating something she shouldn't have. Lucky I have pet insurance!
It won't hurt her to go to the vet for a checkup. I suspect everything will be fine. It's a good opportunity for her to learn that a vet visit can be nice.
Dinner devoured.
Stacked Burger and fries.
Need to resist falling to a food coma.
It was beautiful. I put a photo up on the daily tucker thread, this is for you.

How are you feeling today and how’s your back?
Are you feeling any better?
MrsCalhoon, kidcalhoon1 & 2 are camping riverside in Warburton. .... They're wet.... From the BoM - possibly severe with heavy rain which may lead to flash flooding....good, good, not worried at all.....
Lamb rump steak consumed - with glee. The airfryer does them perfectly. Juicy pink insides, crispy fat and the potat & cauli mash went superbly with them. Does anyone else hate cleaning lamb fat out of the airfryer? This is the only downside.
I do but I line it baking paper to make cleaning a little bit easier.
I did that too, but the lamb fat found its way into the bottom part anyway. Grumble.
I can put the bottom part of mine in the dishwasher, it was a major selling point for me

Didn't have dinner last night cause I just wasn't hungry, this morning I had some multigrain sourdough toast and orange juice and my stomachs still if its happy with that or not. Fuck this, Im gonna get some chips for lunch. Just wanna feel normal for a bit.
Trying a pressure cooker risotto tonight. Meatballs were incredible, so have high hopes.
Edit. Well that was bloody amazing. 25 minutes total prep/cooking time.
This sounds sacrilegious. I’ve heard of no stir risotto, but pressure cooker?
I didn't realise that AI extended to music but of course it does, and of course there's an explosion of AI covers/mashups and I do think we are in the end times. Late to the party but Holy moly.
Have this "cover" of Hank Williams doing Straight Outta Compton....

e: I realise now that the millennial-humour era of crude but funny mashups and covers - "ain't nobody got time for that" and "autotune the news" from a decade ago, and more recent mashups - is well and truly over and dead forever.
3 years ago - Donald Trump "sings" Blinding Lights by The Weekend (manual mashup) https://youtu.be/slGYJfPtW7c?si=F2WttIigap4VUU-j
2 weeks ago - Donald Trump "sings" Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah (AI).

This is the world we live in now... Goodnight.
Things that shouldn’t exist. (Didn’t click, don’t want to know what hat sounds like)
Asked a mate of a mate if they wanted me to download a couple of torrents for them since I'm going to meet them to watch a movie.
Nek minit, I've ended up with JDownloader to manage a ton of debrid direct downloads and figured out SoulSeek (this place still survived after two decades?!) to get some random EDM flacs...
Feeling very 2000s especially with having to configure port forwarding and fiddle with UIs that probably haven't been updated since that era as well
