    Well the punches keep rolling for the ol’ girl.

    Just learned yesterday big C. in the bowel. Looks like IV.

    The last 8 months have been hell for her ever since that fall and now completely unrelated… this. Pretty limited therapy when pushing 80yo. She’ll be going in for an op but chemo/radio is out of the question. Working out the spread basically means just working out (guessing) how long.

    Universe can be cruel.

    e: Thanks all for the kind words.

    Erin Patterson, a proven liar, sitting on the stand and claiming that everyone else is lying about her and what she said is actually wild.

      There’s a bloke in the US like that and he’s currently the President.

      If you believe your own lie, it’ll manifest itself as truth.

      She keeps asserting her lies until she gets completely cornered by the evidence and then changes the story and comes up with some excuse for the lies. Excuses like, oh I was embarrassed, oh I got confused, etc. I think she did it.

      My wife has been fascinated by this case and listens to the daily podcast about it. She’s gone from “oh she definitely did it” to “maybe she’s innocent, I can’t be say beyond reasonable doubt” after this week’s testimony. So Erin is clearly doing some good for her case on the stand.

      I haven’t been following the case closely, but I listened to one recap podcast a week ago where they describe the multiple phones, the missing phone seen on camera that wasn’t provided, with the one provided to police being factory reset first, and taking her dehydrator on CCTV to the tip after telling police she didn’t have one - it was all pretty damning.

        but she didn’t have a dehydrator, she used to have one

        I would like to see the police questioning, I bet it wasn’t very good

      She says 6 were made, one each for her guests, one for her and one that her child ate part of minus the toxic mushrooms which she scraped off.

      3 people dead, one seriously ill, one made herself puke because she ate too much cake and one unscathed. Something doesn’t add up.

        I reckon the only reason she recited those plates are because they’re the ones that were shown on the evidence video earlier in the trial.

    It’s miserable weather, but at least I can now be confident my heater is up to the task.

    I’ve now done the setup for the outdoor security cameras, I just need the weather to improve enough for me to go outside and mount them. It’s just a couple of screws to clamp on to the gutter so it shouldn’t take too long - the hardest bit will be deciding the best postion for the one in the back yard.

    Unfortunately my leave is over and I have to go to work tomorrow. My first night shift in ages, hopefully the novelty of meeting a bunch of new people and learning how to do my job in a different place will stop me falling asleep.

    Gosh I feel like I’ve been a total shut in this week with what happened to me, catching up on work and the cold weather. Winter hibernation mode is activating big time. I’ve got a birthday dinner tomorrow night and actually looking forward to some social time with friends, I really need it.

    Had a dream that guests arrived early and we didn’t have the cheese I planned to serve. And another absolutely awful dream (like fucking WHY brain. WHY did you show me that?!), but I’ll choose to think about the cheese.

    That was invigorating. I got to start my walk with a game of Pick Up the Rubbish Bin and Chase Down my Rubbish Strewn Down the Street. Just in time too, the truck was collecting it just as we got back.

    My new laundry rack and remote control for the garage have both arrived. I think I’ll need to move the van to access the controller to program the remote, I might wait until it’s not so windy to do that, I’m likely to lose half the contents of the garage if I open the door.

      A few months ago, was having drink with a mate and we both predicted that the Musk-Trump love affair is gonna be gone by mid year.

      Should have put some money on it with a betting agency.

        I’m embarrassed to admit I didn’t have one before. Just one of those things I never really learned or thought about.

        Time for a test nap lol

        Edit: wow. I’ve been missing out lol

            I’m having the opposite problem I think - I’m very much a side sleeper and my right shoulder has been a lot more sore since I started using a soft mattress topper about 20 months ago. I feel like it’s because there’s not enough support. Dunno…

      then buy simple food that needs no prep, like fresh fruit, healthy yoghurt, nuts and dried fruit,

      make healthy platters like CEO does

      it’s not cooking per se but it is good 👍

      and hugs too, can’t have too many hugs 😊

    Dear sox, curling up next to me in a cute purry lump is LESS likely to get me out of bed to feed you

    As if I didn’t already have a problem getting out of bed in the mornings…

    A while ago I confiscated a couple of vapes. Tonight we tried them out. Fuck. No wonder the kids are addicted to this shit.
