Dog farted twice when he was walking up some stairs. I died.
Popcorn has 94kcal per serving.
Each bag has 10 servings.
I did not eat 1 serving.Consider an air popper if you want lower calorie popcorn. Plus you can make it from a small scoop of popcorn, rather than committing to a whole bag.
Don’t even need an air popper, paper bag and plain kernels in a microwave works fine
Even better. I saw three air poppers in the opshop yesterday.
I got one of those silicon thingies 'cos i was sick of paper bag use, it’s awesome. Kernels in de bowl, bowl in de microwave, pop pop pop, bowl in my lap, popcorn in my mouth. Herfdenerf.
You have such an amazing way with words! 😆
Yehhh once that bags open they’re all getting eaten. No question.
Calories are to maintain your body and allow you to live life. You’re doing a good job at living
snack a whole meal’s worth of calories
Popcorn is good. Popcorn is life.
Only just got home after a long but mostly productive stretch at uni. I’m almost there with the slides, and I’m actually quite proud of the effort (shock, horror). Doing it has also helped me feel more clear about the flow of my thesis and where all the references should go, so I’m feeling positive about the momentum. Finally! It always only happens near the end, hey…
I’ve also noticed although petrol should be continuing on a downward trend, with everything going on overseas, I feel like they’ll shoot up again any minute now so decided to fill up on the way back at 169. I’m also very sure my rear right tyre has a slow leak from when I was moving house and busted a different tyre. 30 in everything else and 17 in the offending one. Car service and tyre replacement definitely first on the cards when I’m done.
Rallying the fam to go see the new zombie movie. The young one is ride or die for anything horror related.
Let us know what you think of it. My kid’s into horror as well, and while Hereditary was maybe a bit much I’m liking quite a lot of what we’ve been seeing
Ok
sounds like terrific fun
🧟🧟♂️🧟♀️😹
Mac and cheese dinner because I’m an adult! Chocolate yogo for dessert because I’m an adult!
. This time a car has driven through it. My local shopping centre is living up to its reputation for drama
Someone needs to create an annual Norflands bingo card. This would be very easy to populate
Snuck out of the meet and greet. They can stay in the office, I’d prefer to spend my personal time doing my own thing.
Blob cats!
Looks like Northland had a bad incident of someone driving through the shopping centre with a car.
I don’t think anyone was seriously hurt thank goodness.
I’ve been constantly thinking about those autobiographies by Helen Forrest ( that were recommended here 👍).
They are so interestingly written. She presents many facts. She presents how she lived and what her mother told her and the family.
What her mother told her and the family does not match the facts.
I have come to believe that control of others and sadism was the point of the mother’s abuse.
Another good thing about reading these books is that they can help put your own feelings and knowledge into plain words.
I’m glad you liked them. They do stir up a lot of emotions. If I can recommend any other books they would be The Nella Last diaries. Nella wrote for Mass Observation and later on someone compiled them into books.
She writes about everything from what they ate, her charity work, her adult children, domestic life during the war. Simply written and detailed. For me they are up there with Helen’s books.
I cried a few times hearing Helen’s story. Those poor children ( and I don’t mean materially ).
Before these authors lived what they lived and the books they went on to write Aldous Huxley observed in the 1930s the personal and social effect that compulsory education was having on the English working class. Not only were they becoming empowered by the ability to understand the economic and legal world , they could read newspapers and contracts and such, but they could self educate on issues that helped their lives, like hygiene and nutrition. But most importantly education gave them the ability to structure and analyse what they observed and learnt about the world and the people around them.
I think these books and books like them are a product of that. ( Tho of course Helen came from a middle class family. )
It’s sad that she had to fight for the most tiniest little things that we take for granted. Books were definitely her lifeline. Don’t worry, I cried for every step forward and knock backs she took.
Forgot my wireless keyboard at home argghh. Have this weird setup now when I’m typing using my laptop keyboard looking at a monitor. It feels very off.
In very rare instances I’ve preferred the layout of my laptop keyboard for specific tasks. Otherwise they just feel cramped and have terrible ergonomics
I’m working with a laptop due to my desktop needing to be fixed at the moment.
I had the option of connecting to the monitor via hdmi but I opted just to work from the laptop screen as I didn’t want to go through typing on the laptop but looking at a monitor as well.
My brain is potentially cooked. Been earwormed by obscene chants from Primary school. No idea who taught us these things but they need a stern talking to!
Loong beach walk, went to where the mangroves start. Saw two pelicans out of the water and close up, they are BIG, much bigger than I thought.
I’m loving this beach/sea side life, it’s just what I needed to destress. 🙂
Looks like the tide is way out here compared to your pics, quite a difference!
these are part of mud flats/marshland that go quite a distance
pretty much impossible to navigate after this point as it is all salty mud flats, no sandy beach
it’s a nature reserve after this point
