In the name of science, we're performing our annual experiment to figure out how much whisky one Christmas pudding can sustain. This year, we've advanced from last year's benchmark of 150ml to 160. Maggy Fulton recommends 90ml, but with double the fruit. Cowardice!

That's a terribly good idea.

Mum, I really think you shouldn't go lower than f/4, as dog's feeling very fuzzy.

Just hit total nerd nirvana. @iknowthezarbi.bsky.social bought me a stand for cook books. I can use it to hold my iPad running a gameboy emulator, playing Tetris using a bluetooth controller while listening to Mike Oldfield via airplay. Oh, and drinking wine. Not sure if the wine helps my scores.

Many years ago I bought a Gameboy Advance, to replace the Gameboy that I basically wore out playing Tetris.
The screen is so awful you can barely see anything in normal lighting, so I only rarely used it.
Today I found a backlit screen that drops in without surgery!

Playing Emu Joust on my FreeBee Microbee compatible.
Excuse the lack of keyboard, and my lack of skill.
Note the use of an iPad as a tape player. I skipped the couple of minutes waiting for it to load, as I know kids these days have zero patience.

It looks like our little tomato plant is gonna be fine. It had a shaky start in life, but it's really enjoying it's planter and getting watered every day.
Trimming the branches at the bottom has helped heaps.
Max is taking his tomato guarding duties very seriously.

Max and Sandy say the dog park at Aveley is awesome. It's got sniffs, and grass, and bits for digging, and sticks, and heaps of yummy water, and play equipment!

If you're old like me, and Australian like me, you'll remember Microbee computers. Here's my latest Freebee, a Microbee compatible that runs all Microbee software, uses no PLDs, and is completely open-source.
Plus it's smol, on account of chopping the keyboard off.

@iknowthezarbi.bsky.social and I ripped out the monster parsley, added some more potting mix, planted some fresh parsley and spring onions, and added an extra support for the tomato as it gets taller, plus a bit of timber across the top to brace the whole structure.

I'm donating blood plasma next week. In the interview, I'm expecting my blood pressure will be extremely high. That's because, despite living my entire fucking adult life as a woman, and having had SRS a quarter century ago, I'll see this when I check in:
Yeah, about that high blood pressure...
Yeah, about that high blood pressure...

Taking a few hours to spoil ourselves in the most Australian way possible.
Fresh lamb shoulder from local lamb,
Olive oil from the olive grove across the road,
Rosemary from our garden,
Cabernet Sauvignon from Margaret River,
Recipe from Margaret Fulton.
It'd gonna be damn fine.
