  Beefsteaks? In!
Posted by: Oh_hunnihunni - 01-11-2021, 12:15 PM - Forum: Gardening & DIY - Replies (3)

I was given two good beefsteak seedlings at the weekend so have dug a nice deep hole for each, replaced the earth with milk powder laced compost embellished with slow release pellets, stirred it around and then redug a nice deep spot for the babies and popped them in. The soft warm soil is heed well up around the stems and they have carrots tp keep them company, so they should be very happy in that sunny spot. 

When I do the next grocery run I shall get myself a pot of basil plants and do a couple of cuttings to help the tomatoes along. Now all I need is the cuke seeds to germinate - fingers crossed...

A Halina 35x - this is a basic viewfinder camera, made in Hong Kong in the 1950s. It is styled to look like a Canon rangefinder camera.

  Could you live in a tiny home??
Posted by: crafters_corner - 01-11-2021, 10:31 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (24)

I could, quite happily.
I've been watching a few programmes on the tele, with people either building them for a client, or selling them as is.

It's amazing what you can fit into a tiny house.

  Sunday Dinner
Posted by: Oh_hunnihunni - 31-10-2021, 04:50 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (3)

I have gone vegetarian again. Sort of not really but...

End of the week vegetable bin clear out, gets parcooked then tipped into a big baking dish and liberally coated with an hollandaise style creamy sauce with parsley and fine chopped multicoloured chard added before more cheese is added as a topping. Into the oven for thirty minutes till bubbling and golden. Then, on the side, fine chopped bacon sizzled to release the fat, before rough chopped chicken fillet is added, and then tossed through the leftover chilli beans from the fridge. 

Enough for tomorrow, easy reheat, after a good sunny day (fingers crossed) so I can scoot up the hill to replenish the vegetable bin in the fridge. And get more apples. And sliced almonds if he has them...

Life is good.  Heart Heart Heart

  Pro vs anti
Posted by: windytoves - 31-10-2021, 11:18 AM - Forum: Covid-19 - Replies (81)

I fail to see how being unvaccinated is any more of a risk than being vaccinated.  From what I can tell being vaccinated is supposed to be more likely to keep you out of hospital, however it does not stop you from catching it and it does not stop you from spreading it  So why all the hoo-ha about unvaccinated people being denied access to areas that vaccinated people can go to? Surely the risk is the same.  The current Chch cases are such an example - 2 people who have been double jabbed first testing negative then testing positive days later but in meantime wandering around and spreading it.

Just finished You, and am rather grateful it came to an end. There is just so much murder a woman can take, especially when those involve axes, screaming, and barefaced self delusion. But it was very entertaining.

    It only bothers you when it’s not your own.

Drunk walks in a bar and says, "I'll fart the Star Spangle Banner for two beers." Bartender says, "Go for it!" Drunk climbs on the bar, people gather round. The drunk then drops his pants, gets on all fours and proceeds to sh*t all over the bar. "Wait a minute," the bartender says, "What in the hell did you do that for?" Without missing a beat the drunk replies, "Hey, even Frank Sinatra has to clear his throat before performing!

  Are you a stickler for the use of correct English?
Posted by: crafters_corner - 29-10-2021, 10:58 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (23)

Does it annoy the hell out of you, when someone doesn't use punctuation? Or spell correctly? Doesn't use paragraphs? (a pet hate for me).

Or, what annoys you generally about people.

Tell me your gripes. Unload them all here. Smile
