Green/underripe pumpkin can be eaten if cooked. Not as much pumpkiny flavour - more like apple but perfectly edible and def not poisonous.

Also, next weekend is going to be warm at 28 deg/29 deg so just may continue to ripen a bit more.

Granny Smith yes. Pink Lady, Gala, Yellow Delicious - no. Best to leave peel on though.

Source of much reading pleasure over the years. Will be much missed.

Thanks chef! Much stronger now.

Pavlova with sardines please. Feeling in need of protein.

Chilly today, so a nice bowl of pho would be very pleasant please chef.

Um, don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but ... Read the manual carefully. Check to see if there's an outlet valve that's not working properly. Clean any outlet points/valves/tubes with a pipe cleaner (the coloured ones for craft work well) or straw size bottlebrush. Even a small blockage may mean that rinse/wash water is re-circulating when it shouldn't be. Also air bubbles in the intake valve may prevent proper water circulation so poke a pipe cleaner in them too (gently).

Do not choose pure linen as a replacement - wrinkles even worse. Poly blend would stand up to washing if required though, so could be a good choice.

Tried that - now my head hurts.

news quiz

4/10 note to self - pay more attention to local news

If it has black/brown fur and a white tail tip, then might be a rakali - not a rat as such.

Do yourself a favor - go the the nearest op shop/Vinnies/Sacred Heart. They ALWAYS have a shittone of backpacks for purchase at very reasonable prices. Quite high end ones too. Just check any purchase for freeloaders before taking home. Or vacuum and freeze to kill any such freeloaders.

Sometimes all you can do is listen

Yes, sometimes that's all you can do. And it matters - matters a lot. She needed you to be there to hear her. It hurts to be there but keep listening. Feels.

Step 1 - check wallet. If empty, then yes you have bought the car.

Step 2 - check wallet. If full, then you may not have bought the car.

Step 3 - check wallet. If half empty, did you buy anything else?

Get a brightly coloured glasses case if offered. Bright ones are much much easier to find when you need your glasses.

This does not account for the jam, or the karmic effect incurred in cleaning up the mess. Which is a very high value as sticky jam plus glass splinters is major. Jam by itself - wipe it up. Glass by itself - sweep/vac & blutack. Both, however, is an existential crisis as the mess can neither be wiped nor swept. Even rubber gloves are not safe from the splinters. And don't even mention the vacuum cleaner.

On the other hand, underwater magpies has incurred a major karmic benefit in cleaning it up. This far outweighs the serendipitous collection of a clean empty jar. I wonder how the universe will balance the scales.

I think I need some of Roo's strengthening medicine. Any suggestions?

You have more than 2 years experience - this requirement is basically about getting to work on time on all scheduled days. Industry irrelevant.

Yeah, tucking does depend a bit on how much 'vigorous exercise' happens too.
