I’m still so fricking nauseous 🤢 Surely after 4 days I’d feel better.

Melbcat is sooky too so I should probably get her checked out again.

The pumpkins are getting chunkier and more yellow. The golden nuggets are probably going to die before setting anything - the smallest slowest plant probably will. But I’m hoping that even if not ripe enough to eat, the jack be littles might at least get big enough for a nice photo piled in a dish.

(It’s hard to tell which are which over the progress shots but I’ve now started just taking pics of the biggest ones)

Someone needs to put music behind this

I wish my stomach wasn’t such a jerk. Some potato leek soup would be great about now

Ugh. Melbcat and I both took painkillers and spent the day in bed. I'm feeling sick and the pain has been unreal.

Happy birthday!

I’m not too familiar with what sort of grains are needed for what but I heard some kind of dal is used for dosa and idlis? Some recipes use urad dal and they seem to use dehusked.

Wow, iron infusions really do make you feel rough. Hopefully it passes soon

Not feeling too good… today I felt cold but now overheating! Must be those flu like symptoms/mild fever from the iron infusion.

Melbcat is sitting with me. She’s so beautiful 🥰

Nice, maybe get some binoculars

Will do

It fills from the tank but I have some pipe cleaners and can check it over

Don’t want to drink it

Done it all, I just can’t hack the soap residue

Just like a chocolate milkshake only crunchy? 🤢

Looking fab, lots of fruit

I have used barely any before and can still smell and taste it even after a rinse cycle. Baffling

Electric blankets are like $30 at Kmart and so worth it. There are also heated throws if you want it on a chair but they’re less warm.

Warning: There is a risk of having the heat source commandeered by furry overlords

Mount Dishmore is getting impressive again… it’s all “soaking”.

I just remembered something though. You can’t use normal dishwashing liquid in a dishwasher (especially a mini one) because excessive foam can damage the machine. But somewhere recommended putting baking soda in the dispenser with 2 drops of dish soap. Maybe I could get away with using one drop with the bicarb.

I also know that vinegar reduces foaming (with a risk of damaging rubber pipes or seals if it sits).

It’s worth a shot. I already know I’m not getting a refund and the extra work of trying to manually scrub and rinse the strong soap off everything afterwards means it’s sitting unused.

Agreed, linen is lovely but wrinkles badly.

This fabric happened to be pure cotton because it’s the outer shell of a pillow I’m salvaging for parts. The ‘skin’ of it is being used in a practice run for a doll pattern I sketched onto a grid and the filling will be used to stuff the doll.

I bought a meter of calico because it was cheap but I really think fabrics with a bit of stretch would work better

They should do it for the top half too. Just have set styles and colours so parents can buy whatever is affordable
