For how old it is, it still sounds amazing.
Hello friends. I have reincarnated as a seal. Yes, reincarnation is real. I am living proof.
Seal is good.
Seals are adorable . ๐ฆญ๐ฅฐ

Spicy peanut sauce for Roast Veggies from last week:
- 1 jalapeรฑo or other chili, finely chopped (or 2 tbsp chili paste)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 shallot (or equivalent of any onion)
- cooking oil
- 1 tsp turmeric (optional)
- ยฝ to 1 cup coconut milk
- ยฝ cup sugarless peanut butter
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar (optional)
- ยฝ tsp sesame oil
Finely chop the pepper, garlic, and shallot, or use a food processor to make them into a paste. (If youโre using chili paste instead of a fresh pepper, hold off on it for now.) Splash some oil in a saucepan on medium heat. Once itโs warm, add the chili, garlic, and shallot and sautรฉ until everythingโs translucent. Add the turmeric, coconut milk, and chili paste if applicable. Let it come to a boil, then turn the heat down. Add the peanut butter and soy sauce and stir to combine. Once itโs all combined, taste it and add whatever you think it needsโbut think about the salt and spice in particular.

Lovely afternoon for a walk in the sunshine!!
Awesome night out!!! Tiny little hangover.
Well, guess it's a do whatever I want day lol
House clean, cat brushed and spoiled with treats, guitar and singing practice done.
I think it's video game time now.
Whatcha playing?
A game called Signalis. It's really, really good and was only 20 bucks. Have a look and see what you think!
Looks interesting!! I am unfortunately elbow deep in Infinity Nikki but am trying to find a new game for Boyo who is clearly in the mood reject everything. Will put that on a list though, thank you!!
When you're finished with the game, I recommend watching Flawed Peacocks epic breakdown of it.
Awesome. Will do :)
My aunt msgd the family chat this morning, asking why the chat has been so dead lately. Asked if it was just all of us being busy or whether it was the winter blues.
I want to respond with: "my blues are not confined to just one season, [aunt name]"
But I have refrained and will not say that at all lol.
Same aunt who, when I posted about my rent increase, basically said "well, I bought a house as a single mum with three kids! Took me a year but I did it!".
Okay, aunt. Well done. Must have been very hard. ๐
A whole year!!!
a year of saving, a year of looking for a house, a year of organising a loan, what took a year ??????
because that is just unbelieveable
also, hugs for the blues ๐ซ
A year of talking to banks to be approved for a loan iirc.
Neglecting to remember my dad, who has never owned his own house and only had one child which he never had any custody of, despite working his arse off since he was 18 and kicked out by Opa (their relationship has long since been repaired).
She's out of touch. She's a wonderful person, but so woefully unaware of the struggles of her youngest brother, let alone her own children or niblings.
i heard a steam train whistle echo over the moors

The Martian audiobook review
hear me out ...lol
This reminded me of a Dickens novel. It was written as a serial, tho unlike a Dickens serial the whole story is definitely planned . It has eccentric characters, some with amusing names, it's a first person narrative, it gives detailed descriptions of thought, action and setting, the main character is strongly self reliant and adapts well, there are many adventures/trials of spirit.
It was an enjoyable story. ๐
Four hobbits.
Alright, I need to book in a phone consultation with a doctor that will give me a week off. Just for a little me time
Dr How Long?
