If you don’t see me...
I don’t HAVE to post.
Nobody has a responsibility to stay online against their own best interests just so people you really don’t know very well won’t worry about you.
That’s a fucked up way to live.

Dammit. That idea is prohibitively expensive. I will keep looking.
This is salvageable. Boychild is about to be 13, a young 13. He will enjoy the novelty
I will pivot: for the girlchild, 15, a Japanese snacks mystery box. Her fave food is sushi, loves bubble tea
Those are 2 of my fave things and a Japanese mystery box would make my day. I think it’s a safe bet

Bought my adult nieces portable Ninja blenders.
I did not check if they already have blenders.
According to my drawers and cupboards, you can never have enough blenders.

Asked sis if it’s ok to give her kids a sweet treats mystery box. She said yes. I bought boxes for her boy and my other sister’s boy, also.
Asked if teen would prefer sweets or chocolate.
Sister texts back:
“Neither of my kids are really into lollies”.
OMG… 🤦♂️

Ok… PIVOT!!
It turns out the bread is actually not bad. It’s just the very tough and thick crust is not suited to a burger bun application.
So… tomorrow we panzanella! (Don’t tell the Italians)

There’s good theory behind the surreptitious roll away from a curled up cat.
In practice, Dusty somehow manages to meld herself to me in the night, becoming one with my leg, rendering any such efforts a fool’s game.

I just watched a clip of a clearly famous young guy (no idea), on a radio show, tell a story about how his mate fell asleep, in his own room, on top of the covers on his made bed…
Mate. That’s not a fucking anecdote. Your friend fell asleep on his own bed, in his own clothes and NOTHING HAPPENED 🤦♂️

And have they looked at Starmer’s Labour and thought, “Wow, they are doing an amazing job??”
Are they actively trying to throw the election 11 months out?
