  • 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.





  • Blended the 1st chilli ferment last night. 13 day ferment. The one w/ homegrown apricots, raspberries. Surprisingly it’s actually very good. Can taste them through the heat. Never had a hawt sauce like that. Raspberries made it a nice deep red. Was going to turn the last of chillies into powder but instead going to start anothery of that today.

    I think taking the chilli seeds out before the ferment (usually don’t bother) really made a difference and let the sweetness cut through. Bit time consuming but worth it.












  • Good gig last night. Speaker rig was one of the more impressive ones I’ve heard for DnB, pretty much custom built for the genre. Pretty rare to hear it that loud with clarity which was nice.

    Shitload of security though. Probably a legal requirement, but there were security dudes standing on boxes in each corner just watching the d-floor. Not really the sort of music that attracts trouble but I guess it’d make a few people feel safer.

    Got home at about 1:30am to hambam sitting at the front door waiting for me with sad eyes :( Felt bad so cooked him up some mince to make it up to him.

    Edit: and he’s been staring at me all morning:


  • Off to a gig tonight at the croxton. 3 hand built nose bleed decibel speaker systems. Two playing in synch in one room which will be dub / reggae, another system playing DnB / jungle. Don’t normally fork over $40 unless it’s a DnB international but these guys spend an inordinate amount of coin and time on these things so it’s worth it just to keep the scene alive.

    Also hambams on his walk / run today ran into a mum and her kid (probably 3yo). He was so gentle w/ her. He might not be all there upstairs at the dog park but around the very young kids he changes and is very mindful. So credit to hams.
