I washed the house today. The outside of the house. I did not know that was a part of home ownership. Looks good though.

I did tons of gardening today and now I'm exhausted. I still need to make dinner, but I am seriously lacking the energy. Some days I could really do with a wife 🤣
I did nothing today and it was incredible!
Street Christmas party was today, so I made my home made chicken nuggets and they were a hit! Jerboa was working fine for me until this lemmy update and now it's gone a bit psycho on me. I'm using my browser, with fewer issues, but still a bit janky. One of the elderly ladies has sold her house to move into a retirement village, and it's been bought by a family and not a developer thank goodness. Mr P was quite the party animal and is now indulging in whisky sours with the young renters a few doors down. 🥴
I love how Youtube keeps pulling down videos of shows that are free to air reruns... that's still not going to make me pay for a streaming service or buy another tv.
I ordered a charger on eBay and the description says they send through Auspost, but then the tracking number didn't work so I asked and they told me it's coming through "PF logistics/Fastway". I thought that, a. Fastway was Aramex now, and b PF logistics was a different company. But whatever the case, may God have mercy on my charger
PF logistics was the company that my very slow package of ribbon came through. It got here in the end, but well past the time-frame of when it was supposed to.
I'm pretty sure I've had something come through them before, but truthfully I don't understand how any of those private courier companies are in any way better than just sending through normal Auspost. I feel like I've heard way more bad things about just about every other Fourier service than Auspost
I think the only time I've preferred a non Auspost delivery is when I get to choose a day and time for delivery. I don't know who they use, but officeworks do that and I quite like that I can choose an exact date and time, and I know it will be here on that day

Offer a prayer to the divine beings that your charger will get through this turbulent time.
Fastway….. yuck

I’m getting a bit dry but Melbcat is asleep on me. The cup of tea will have to wait
Random question, does anyone know of somewhere I could get Christmas presents wrapped?
I despise wrapping, I'm terrible at it and I can either pay someone to do it for me or I can add gift bags to my shopping list

Awesome day out there. I got some really good gardening work done. I need some more mulch but there is no way I am going anywhere near Bunnings on a day like today, so that will have to wait until tomorrow.
Anyone got a rock solid white sauce recipe for Christmas pudding?
Keep it clean, you heathens.
I only know ‘white sauce’ as a savory thing, it’s another name for bechamel. Goes in lasagne, not on pudding. Did you mean white chocolate sauce?
