Work from home, light day on the schedule at work, so I decided to do a cheeky bake session in the garage.

Guess who was looking at the wrong Friday, and has meetings all afternoon?

Go on, guess.

I’ll manage. Not completely baked, just nice and toasty. Can function without arising too much suspicion.

I’d say you read the schedule 100% and applied the correct survival strategy

Oh.

Oh no.

As part of the sorting I redid the TV stand (we’re going to eventually put the TV on an articulated arm up over the fireplace, with the cavity cabinetted out as a console nook), moved it out into His Lordship’s office ‘cos the little bugger has had greedy eyes on it since we started dating 20 odd years ago and wants it for his gaming corner (it’s actually mine and predates him), then shufted the big ol’ 78 record player over where the TV stand was and plonked the TV and accoutrements on top of it as a temporary measure.

Thing is, that’s over a heating vent.

And Misha remembered she fits under it

I have made a terrible mistake

First time too, I don’t generally cook meat. Turned out real nice. Leftovers will be used in another dish.

Apparently the Melbourne subreddit has been banned for “violating the Reddit rules”? Huh…

Honestly I think this is Spez going after the subreddits that dared to challenge him. He did threaten to some time ago, after all.

Looks to be back now… seems like the mods are either not saying why or don’t know themselves.

Edit: “We reached out to them and they did the bleep bloop and we’re back from the dead 🙌

People are asking why on r/australia. This looks interesting. Also comment history for r/melbourne is gone too.
