Didn't even know this was a thing tbh... It's not an offshoot of no-nut November, is it?

…(…I think that it started in Australia first…)…I recall Ben doing it here/and being sponsored… and both of my sons have done it a few times…I think it’s been a thing for around 15 years or so…

Weird I have just done this too, I use that stuff where you put the trays in a bag overnight and put the rest of the liquid on the inside of the oven tbh its never as bad as the thought of doing it

Husband flew out of town for almost a week so I reset the house for the holidays. Got some woodworking/DIY projects done in the meantime. And just before that, I got the floating shelf for the breakfast area put up. Everything is so much more organized and tidier. Other little things in that mindset. I made a mail holder with compartments so we can sort our mail by purpose and it's no longer ending up anywhere else in the house...

Oh yeah, story time....

I had to call 911 on a neighbor to get fire department to come today because a neighbor decided to take heavy trash into their own hands. When we have any home debris, including old furniture, we put it on the end of the street for city pickup. These piles can get pretty large and theirs was considerable. Anyway, they decided they would start to try to slowly burn down this pile at the end of their driveway and partway in the street so it was a fire hazard.

This neighbor, also, a few days ago went door-to-door to different neighbors while screaming terroristic threats. Probably about someone living with them probably because we've seen that they've fought. Anyway, they were complaining they were locked out and had their phone taken... can't imagine why... my camera very much caught their conversation from across the street and my front yard is not small. So they were loud enough it sounded like they were already at our front door.

For some reason, they decided to go to everyone's door on the street and knock really hard but then walk away while having this crazy dialogue by themselves about how they were going to help someone bleed, etc. So probably quite a few cameras caught them. Our block is quiet, but this is the one unstable person on our street because law of probabilities I guess dictate we need at least one. He makes a scene in their driveway regularly, always about "I have a job!" and how he pays for stuff (yay?)... this justifies threats and total meltdowns when someone offends him. I've seen him meltdown at UPS drivers, so I suspect it's either mental illness or his brain is probably cooked from drugs. But he is obviously living with someone and not happy with the arrangement when he is told to do one. So this initiates schizo gangster mode every time for the entire block to hear, which is very annoying...

Related, I went to a very nice nature reserve yesterday with child in what is actually a nice area and some people showed up on bikes to make use of the covered area. One of them rides away and as he does this, he suddenly stops dramatically and then turns to the ones that are setting up very seriously, and says "Don't be ghetto!"... and then takes right off... pure comedy. And it fits in very well with the moral of the last story I just told...

Nothing old about playing games at the pub.

My eldest and I did a big Waitrose shop and had a good long browse around TK Max plus had a Greggs

I taught Stevie to do a little trick - sit, stay and then run and jump into my arms. He's a clever little guy. Then I painted the wood on a well Gav made black

As if you mentioned Stevie and didn’t post a photo of him.

I took daughter for donuts at our favorite local shop and got my usual coffee.

Most of the past few days was coming down hard on the husband for the unsatisfactory state of his File Explorer. Most of his drives are mechanical and teeny ass 2.5 ssds, so I joked he should solve the LGBT puzzle as he had 10 drives/drive letters already and was still trying to expand which is crazy because wasting a port on 256/512 drives is just silly when he needs actual space... He's extra cheeky now because I sent him to the candy store to dump 6TB (4TB + 2TB m.2) into his system and after looking, he's going to need another 4TB in mechanical imo. (He does audio stuff with samples). I had no idea he was still running on a 512 m.2 for his system disk with all he was needing and I feel like a bad wife now.
