Chilling in Pender Park before my haircut. This is a pretty cute little park, great trees, gorgeous in the autumn sun.

Help me decide, should I get f&c nearby the salon after my haircut or should I go buy some salmon to pan fry with some air fryer chips? I'm a bit loathe to cook and clean but it might also be good for me nervous system to do something with my hands and I can probably get more salmon for less $ if I do it myself. Otoh, I'm not that tight for cash atm and I kind of like the dopamine hit of the f&c. I have plenty of time to bulk cook this weekend.

Fish and chips cooked at home is nice but it doesn't scratch the specific itch that fish and chips does. Do it.

Maybe some craft to keep your hands busy? Or cleaning?

Salmon, because I know you wanted it the other night.

The answer is always f&c. Edited to add: I am so very lucky to live coastal and have a variety of fantastic greasy shops to chose from so that sways my decision!

I nearly bought a unit overlooking that park, but in the end chose not to. The local f&c is good though.

I've taken the old work laptop home and I thought I'd try Bazzite on it. Apparently Fedora based distros don't play well with Dell so if I still can't get it to work I might try PopOS instead. Failing that, Mint Debian edition.

I don't know a single tech word you wrote other than dell

A couple of Temu packages have already arrived this morning. Some plastic shelves are the wrong colour and a plastic bin is warped out of shape, but most of the stuff is not too bad. One small rug/mat I don't remember ordering, so I will have to investigate what it is supposed to be. Miss Meow's window hammock looks good, and I think she'll like the window-mounted toy with ping pong balls inside too.

Edit: looks like I did order the mat, although I can't remember where I was planning to put it. I have four external doors in the new place though, so it certainly won't go astray.
