cleaning out the pantry

I have noticed over the past few days, that the population of insects in the pantry was getting out of control. So today was clean out the pantry day. As I type this, I have currently pulled everything off two shelves. The worst shelf was proving a mystery to me. I knew there had to [...]

should i end the suspense?

Nahhhhhh I’ll just leave y’all hanging a bit longer. I’m in a bit of suspense myself if it makes any difference. Can’t make any announcements til we’re sure. And no, I’m not pregnant.
We are having roast chicken for dinner. This pleases me. I like roast chicken. I might just go now and sniff at the [...]

well

The dessert was a triumph if I don’t say so myself. And somehow 5 of us managed to demolish it quite successfully. Hurrah for us! The decision to go with all berries rather than chocolate was well received.
In other news, I am almost half way through my driving hours. 25.5 to go. Tomorrow it’ll be [...]

port sippers

Has anyone else tried one of these? I just did and it was quite fun. They do look a bit suss (from more than one angle!) but are certainly a conversation point. I might get some for the parents for their birthdays or something…

The parents have gone away for the weekend. Which is nice. It’s very peaceful! One of my friends came over for dinner. I was going to cook something but then lost motivation and decided on take away. THEN when we were shopping at about 5pm, I noticed that the take away places at the shopping [...]

sunshine paraboli

Last night I dreamed that I was working and was told to call the company that made staplers and ask them what the sharp cutty bits on sticky tape dispensers are called. The customer service lady at the stapler place told me they are called sunshine paraboli (that is plural). It made sense at the [...]

practise makes perfect

Today I went to the pharmacy where my mother works and practised being a pharmacist. By some sad coincidence, all the places that I have worked at have had the same, fairly uncommon, easy to use dispensing program. The program at my mother’s pharmacy is very common and also fairly complicated to use. Ahhhh DOS. [...]
