The end is nigh!
You can make gratin.
You're not wrong.

Dammit, I'm a sucker for a RTE recipe! Thank you!
I've tried it and it's good.
Woop protest on Sydney road, I think heading into the city. Good luck city dwellers ๐ฌ

This morning Miniest complained she was cold.. she is fully dressed and has 4 doonas and 3 blankets on the bed! Meanwhile Elder is sleeping in a regular singlet and shorts with a fan blowing on his face and one doona and a blanket in his bed but not on it!
Does anyone want to help run the aussie flag on canvas this year (starting July 12th)? I have limted time right now and this year we were going to add aussie pixel art to the flag so it is not just a flag. If anyone could help that would be great, especially with making a post asking for pixel art from the community and adding it over the flag.
To get an image for the flag use 
which is 200x100 pixels. Ensure that the pixel art does not cover the stars or union jack.
Here is last years template if you want to see it. I will make a new template this year with the pixel art and flag at 200px by 100px.
Bluey pixel art: https://aussie.zone/post/11696592/10403326 and https://diycandy.com/bluey-perler-beads/
To everyone: Feel free to make or find some aussie pixel art and reply, note that it shouldn't be massive tho.
I will probably also post this in tomorrows thread.

Melbcat just poked the very tip of her nose out from the doona and promptly disappeared back under
Wouldn't blame Melbcat, it's so cold today!
After the awful news out of India I decided to revisit a happier ending to a crazy situation and watched Sully. Damn near cried a few times just thinking about the goodness of people compared to what we see in the US today. Now I'm off to go watch some Mayday episodes and feel grateful for my life.
E: also, massive boo to Clint Eastwood and his anti government dickhead views for making the NTSB into some kind of villain, I guess it was just the beginning of the Trump years after all. Which is all the more sad to contrast with 2009, when it actually happened... Can't believe the GFC years feel better than what we have today.

Have returned to Firefox and it was far less painful of a transition than I thought. After figuring out some video rendering issues (stuttering caused by hardware acceleration, and tearing fixed by setting monitor frame rate to max) there are only upsides so far!
