    have I told you all how much I love netflix, just incredible shows from all over the world

    this week I have been watching shows from Brazil and this song from O Mecanismo haunts me

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8w1IKM4dfY

    lyrics ( from google translate )

    spoiler

    The sun will shine once more The light will reach the hearts From evil, hi, from evil the seed will be cremated Love will be eternal again Love will be eternal again The sun will shine once more The light will reach the hearts From evil, hi, from evil the seed will be cremated Love will be eternal again It is the final judgment, the story of good versus evil I want to have eyes to see the wickedness disappear The sun will shine once more The light will reach the hearts From evil, hi, from evil the seed will be cremated Love will be eternal again Love will be eternal again Love will be eternal again Love will be eternal again Again Again (The sun will shine once more) (The light will reach the hearts) (From evil, hi, from evil will be cremated the seed) (Love, love will be eternal again) (Love, love will be eternal again) (Love will be eternal again) (Again, again) (Will be eternal again, again) (Again)

    A young brushtail just tried to have a go at Mr Woof through the glass of the back door! It was full on banging on the outside of the door right in front of him. Mr Woof is now outside doing a full security patrol while Miss Meow supervises from inside.

    random musings (but basically instant pot FTW)

    I got myself an instant pot for Christmas and it has been amazing on low energy / sad days. Today I was WFH and feeling terrible, but I managed to get rice on mid afternoon ((cup of rice, cup of water turn it on and wait for it to beep at me). Then I managed to saute some onions garlic etc, added lentils, random spices and some leftover tomatoes and I got yummo dal stew with the rice. Enough for a couple more meals too. And I feel much better for having eaten something hearty and homemade.

    I realise when my energy is low I can chop a few things, but nursing multiple pots on the stove then cleaning them all up is too much. Having something that I can put stuff in and it does it all and just beeps when my stew/beans/whatever is ready is great.

    Also been making yogurt in it which is also awesome.

      That sounds awesome. I wonder if I can use my rice cooker in the same way. It’s a really good rice cooker with many settings.

      I love this and it’s exactly why I love my slow cooker. Fry up a bit of meat and onion. Chuck it in with some other stuff and the end of the day I have meals. Absolute bliss.

    Listed some old PC parts on Gumtree, the first five minutes I get the standard “I want to purchase give me your email so I can send you a phishing link” quickly followed by an account called “support” with the gumtree logo telling me I had a pending offer and to just provide my email.

    This was then followed up with a second “support” account trying a different scam, and one person doing the “I will send a courier” bit.

    Gumtree is so shit.

    I’m going to Aldi. What coffee beans should I get for my plunger?

    If it helps I like strong cappuccinos and I use the #13 calabrese pods for my Aldi pod machine because the #14 intensio is disgusting.

      Any of the South American ones. Brazil, Colombia or the special blend. Essentially any of the 1 kg bean bags are good value for money, not the dark roasts though.

      The only ones I’ve tried are the Lazzio Medium beans in the white bag and they are excellent. I can’t speak to the fancier looking ones. I should do a trip and pick up a fresh bag actually. I also prefer my coffee a bit stronger and the medium hits just right for me.

      I guess it depends on what you like, I do like smooth and fruity blends but sometimes a dark one isn’t too bad either.

        They’re pretty small sadly, been cutting them in half and popping them inside a sandwich.

        I don’t think the ones I have will go very far with pasta.

        They are yummy and sweet though.

      I wanted to today as well but the work would only pile up for me the next day which is even a busier day.

      I really hate that I feel I can’t be off sick because of that.

        That’s the reason I’ve taken like 5 sick days in 9 years and am drowning in excess annual leave.

        Every day off I take results in about 1.2 days of extra work I need to catch up on when I get back 🫤

        At least I’m very often solo in the office so my presenteeism doesn’t get others sick.

          Yeah, this year the way things have fallen, my monday and tuesdays are loaded and if I’m not there the work just piles up.

          The person I work with, while our roles differs, just leaves the massive backlog for me to maintain and this places so much pressure on me if I take the day off when I have a scheduled workload.

        I don’t think I’ve suffered from hayfever this late in the season. Generally a spring thing and gone by Dec/Jan…It’s friggin March and I’m still dealing with it
