Yummmm. Can confirm from experience that prawn/yabby stock is one of the best around. And it's never on sale in shops so you just gotta do it yourself. But hella worth it.

Mark the envelope RTS and drop it in a mailbox. Let the post office open it and determine the sender which they are allowed to do if there is no return address on the envelope. The sender has to pay for the postage then. Which is an incentive to address items correctly. Does sound like it might be religious tracts or similar as per SituationCake below. Or you could open it "in error" and reseal it up again if it turns out to be genuine.
E: for grammar.

The heads and shells are too damn good to just throw away. Best risotto I ever made was with yabbies - boiled up the heads and shells with aromatics to make the stock. Gamechanger. Whenever I get prawns I mostly boil up the heads for stock and freeze it. Does magical things to any rice dish as rich in umami from the tomally in the heads.

20/50 hard one today for me at least

Sorry for the late reply - been out at a magic party a couple of doors down the street. Please keep me posted. Little guy/gal has just hit a nerve with me. Want him/her in my life.

Pretty serious offer. If/when you do catch them please let me know. I definitely will take the little dark one. Will need to uber over to you to pick him/her up. Yes, I've tamed feral cats before.

Can I take the little dark tabby floof at the back home with me?

You did exactly the right thing (brother is a train driver). There are protocols for dealing with such arseholes, and he's in a world of hurt right now. The railways take that sort of behaviour very seriously - not just the vilification laws apply here. Remember the emergency button next to each door - it's there for this purpose.

Coffee and bacon & eggs on toast please chef. I hope you're feeling better today.

Something to do while waiting for the meteors

8/10

I nearly bought a unit overlooking that park, but in the end chose not to. The local f&c is good though.

I think they just provide water and wait a bit.

Its got fruit in it, so its healthy, right?

Well said! Nobody ever claimed that growing up was easy, but you've been through the wringer alright. Props to you for realising this. You've got this in so many ways.

If the weather clears up a bit, then the early early morning of Wed & Thur you can see the Eta Aquarid meteor shower, if that's your jam. Apparently those mornings when the moon has set is when the shower will be at it's peak.

Yumm. Thanks chef!

Ooooh, full menu again! Chef, could I please have a bowl of your best ramen - beef or fish I don't mind.

3 day eventing. Nearly got there in my youf so what I really want is to be young again. Will accept showjumping as a mediocre substitute. Bugger anything that requires sore feet. The sweat, blood and tears go with the territory.

Sky very very pretty.

quiz It's a doozy this week.
