Ask an English speaking teenager or 20-something person what AF is and you'll likely get an entirely different (expletive) answer!

Note to self: if taking a yogurt to work always make sure you take a spoon

Biscuits/cookies work in a pinch.

Full on blizzard here this morning. Total white out for several hours. Down the road, 2-3hrs drive which in Aussie terms is not far, they've had over 50cm of snow overnight alone, with more still falling. It's unusually early this year.

Parts of Queensland are expecting frost in the coming week, which is going to be a surprise to them.

3 deg c here atm high of 8..my heat pump is worth it's weight in gold.
Comfy 21 inside.

I got tired of no fork in the service van so I ordered some titanium chopsticks from Ama***. They're so tough I'd hit them with a 5,100 °F/2,815 °C blow torch after use and call it *sterilized*. Good to go!

Currently (7.30pm) it's 25C inside and 23C outside. Perfect!

I do! I think I even posted about it years ago on here.

What is it about having a meal at the beach?
Both DH & I said today how much better such simple things taste at the beach...

Got caught in a rain storm this morning, the heavens just opened, got wet whilst putting up my brolly it came down so fast.

I think our TV has just died.

We've no sound at all when the sound bar is disconnect and the TV is set to its own speakers. It was sorry if giving sound earlier but needed to be at 100 to hear anything but since a full reset, now there is nothing.

When it's set to the soundbar we need the volume at 100 (out of 100) to almost be able to hear it.

I think my laptop may have gained a 43 inch wide screen!

Me too. There's even a proper way to wrap one that's round, like a hamburger for instance.
