      Thank you both. It still hasn’t hit me yet but it is going to get so much worse when it does. I’m trying not to vomit all of my feelings here because I don’t want to burn you out. This isn’t going to be something I get over quickly or cleanly.

          In the absence of any context or knowledge of your family I am going to guess he needs to break it to you that he’s moving to Florida to marry a hooker he met in an online chat room.

          Clippers with no guard. I let it grow out in winter because it’s warm. Clippers is pretty easy / lazy. I imagine razor would be once I worked out the technique, but I’m yet to. I’ve got a double edge razor for the face for job interviews.

        Stir-fry was my staple meal when I moved out of home, I’d have it probably 4-5 times a week. Very affordable on student benefits - lots of rice and veg, a little bit of meat.

            Always fresh vegetables. The sauce I usually do is a base of stock powder and tapioca flour (which could be substituted with cornflour) mixed with water. I’ll pretty much always add a little bit of soy, sesame oil and fresh ginger. Then a selection of oyster sauce, sweet chilli sauce or cooking wine depending on what I feel like, plus extra ingredients to give specific flavours - like the black pepper and honey tonight.

    I have now been to the doctor for a checkup, been poked, prodded and bled, plus I have 2 more appointments to make for more specialised prodding. My special ‘welcome to 50 years’ celebration 🤣.

    The doctor seemed nice, and much more interested than the previous one I went to. Plus it was fully bulk billed, and I have some insurance that will give me a discount for having regular checkups so it’s worth it from a financial perspective alone.

    some nice shells and tiger shark tooth! The tooth is still razor sharp.

          Tbh until I went back to school I hadn’t tried hard since I was 15.

          It takes the pressure off when you just do your best. At least then you can live with the outcome.

      Your link isn’t working for me but I can confirm it’s cracking over here.

      And I love it.

      Dog is refusing a walk which usually means his barometer is detecting a storm.

    And now it’s back on. Everything seems so bright now!
