I love how the news re the sharemarket has gone from ‘bloodbath’ yesterday to ‘don’t panic’ today

I checked the "aussie dollar plunges" headline and the AUD which has been in the toilet for a while now, had gone from like 60.5c to 59.9c, plunges I tells ya.
Oh dear, we are clearly done for as a country 😂

Fish curry made! Not the world's best pic but definitely a better outcome than the dal makhani disappointment. I'm almost done using my very old fish curry powder. One more round in the next couple of months and I'll be done.
Eggplant, green beans, tomato paste, tamarind paste, coconut milk, coriander leaves and all the other usual things 😋

coriander leaves
One of us, one of us!
Looks great :)
Thanks! Oh you bet I'm definitely on the pro coriander train. Soap tongues lost the genetic lottery and can't impose their misery on the rest of us

Rage
So instead of the other essential house chores (which I had barely any energy for already) I’ve now done two washes of one load of dishes complete with repetitively lifting a heavy jug, a complete clean and troubleshoot including moving the heavy machine.
And am now trying a third wash (for science) that I will still have to manually rinse - or potentially completely hand wash and rinse to actually get clean.
I’m going to be in pain and not able to do anything tomorrow. Some disability aid.
So fucking pissed
Bought for almost $400
Done everything to fix it
I can’t even leave a bad review because they’re no longer being sold on that site.
Call a service rep from the manufacturer to have a look. It should still be under warrantee
and hugs,
Sometimes doing things simply is easiest. Less fuss, fewer things to go wrong.

Dog is struggling with daylight savings. Why is my food late? Why is my walk at a different time?

What's your most hated font? Every time I come across a document or email in Arial I just want to change it right away. It's so bland.

Haven’t been able to sort out a lift for the appointments yet. I hope I can soon because the dentist will be taking a break and the next available would be in June.
I’m a bit worried about Melbcat because she has some signs of being unwell still and is chugging unusual amounts of water.
If need be I’ll book a home vet visit, it just means I need to clean up after letting things slide for almost a week. I’ve handballed the slimy dishes to Midea on the hottest setting. At the moment I don’t care if I have to redo them later. I just need clean enough.
Why is Bon Jovi stuck in my head? He's been in there singing for days.
OHHHHHHH WE’RE HALF WAY THERE

I also found out the few people using linux in head office were asked to switch back to Windows. Because work offers no support, you were given root access and could just sudo anything onto your computer you'd like.
Sounds sick but that's exactly why they've backflipped on this
