I sense a disturbance in the usual bin collection schedule. This means holidays are soon upon us.

After two hours of trying to flatten and rake out the molehills, our lawn has so many black patches that it looks like it lost a bar fight. It's probably a bit flatter, and there was intermittent help from the children, but I'm knackered.
I don't really care about the lawn being perfectly flat. It just needs to be flat and smooth enough that our robomower can cut the grass, and the children can play on it.

Did I put on a clean light grey hoodie this morning? Yes
Am I now using a stick blender to smoothen out a tomatoey curry? Also yes.Follow me for more #lifehacks

I just looked under the sofa. I should not have done that.

Tired: staying up late and ordering take away.
Wired: staying up late to meet your delayed grocery delivery. -
I picked up my empty coffee cup in the living room to drop off in the kitchen on the way upstairs. Upstairs I'm still holding the coffee cup, so I put it down to do the stuff I came upstairs to do. Once I'm back downstairs I go to the kitchen. But I'm not holding the coffee cup.
At least this is good for my thigh muscles.

This evening's #repair job: plug timer. The little arm that pushes in the relay (red block) when the timer wheel passes with the detents push down for on, had a crack where the yellow arrow is pointing. This meant it flexed instead of pushing in the relay switch. I've added super glue, and put the arm back on its pivot (where the green arrow is pointing). See how long that lasts.
It would be sad to throw out the whole thing for the failure of a tiny part that probably costs less than a 5 cents to manufacture.

Writing #Christmas cards this morning, and not quietly ranking my friends and family to decide who gets the nicer card designs.
-
At what point do spiders and dust bunnies get squatters rights? Asking for a friend.

#nightphotography of some #flamingos by the #pool that I thought looked #peaceful and might make your day a little happier.

Is it possible to add too much washing powder? Asking for a friend.

Unexpected rain shower soaked the almost dry laundry I'd put outside to dry. Gutted. #DomesticBliss

Phew, found my driving license, after three days of searching the house, in a really obvious place where I clearly put it thinking "I won't forget about it here".

If you're looking to have some fun on a Saturday night, then I thoroughly recommend using some non-drop lubricating silicone grease. Specifically on your freshly cleaned and de-calced tap, of course; for smooth running and no leaks.

Hot on the heels of yesterday's triumph https://social.lol/@hl/114474242776851941, today I cleaned out the vegetable crisper draw in our fridge, to get rid of lots of old, little, vegetable bits (I'm looking at you broccoli).

Ah ha, not this time my old nemesis, loaded, but not run dishwasher!
This time I noticed I'd forgotten to press the start button, and have now pressed the offending, unpressed, start button.
So hopefully in the morning I will not be greeted by that most disappointing of things: a full, un-run and smelly dishwasher, out of which you now need to get things, and wash them, for breakfast.

Ahhh, nothing like the sizzling of lime scale encrusted tap spouts in an acid bath on a spring Saturday morning.

Got round to repairing the garden gate that shook itself apart in the storms a couple of months ago. Ripped out all the old rusty nails, and put screws in. It's now about 3€ of wood held together with 10€ of screws.

TFW You watch the last of the foamy water go down the plug of the kitchen sink, and then spot one more dirty pan hiding in the corner.

Dear online #banking
I accept a lot of sh!t from you. Half loaded pages, content that keeps shifting, random logouts, a million cookies and endless pop ups for offers I don't need or care about.But changing the file naming scheme of your statements may be your greatest crime. After ten years of "statement_MMYYYY.pdf", WTAbsoluteF is "MMM YYYY Statement.pdf"?

I swear I checked all the pockets for 'treasures' before putting them in the laundry.

#LifeHack: Don't store After Eight mints in a cupboard next to a similar sized box of individually packaged tea bags.

Rock'n'Roll Saturday night doing domestic paperwork:
- Updated land tax ✅
- Child B school paperwork ✅
- Bank statements (oh sweet merciful flying spaghetti monster, why are bank websites so awful?) ✅
- Insurance paperwork scanned and filed ✅
- misc other paperwork filed ✅ -
You get one guess where the children lost some #Lego

Why is it so hard to just clean /one/ room. Once I've started, I find it really hard to stop; I see just one more dust kitten or patch that needs cleaning. Then suddenly I'm in the process of cleaning half the house.

It's only taken a year after ordering the replacement part, but finally switched out the broken info projector on the dishwasher.

FOUND CAKE TIN UPDATE: The smaller (black coated one) wasn't worth saving. Had bits of rust, and then whatever I did to remove it caused more of the black coating to peel off. Don't want that in any cake. Off to the great recycler in the sky it goes.
The larger grey tin seems fine, cleaned up easily and only has a couple of cut marks on the base, otherwise ok.

I'm just going to vacuum up some of the most obvious dust kittens.....
5 minutes later...

Witness the domestic bliss amidst chaos in Grenier's 'Gezin met hond in een stortbui' #Rijksmuseum. Capturing the fleeting innocence of the moment, painted in the storm of life. Could you weather it so well?

Me, to my partner: I put a rainbow gradient over the text in this month's cover of The Deadlands, but i hope it's subtle enough
Him: Are you worried it'll look like pandering?
Me: No, i'm worried it'll look off-brand. I'm gay af, i can put rainbows where i damn well please
Him: Yeah but not everyone who sees the cover will know that, right?
Me: *IMMEDIATELY DEVELOPS COMPLEX*

Zes porties #pompoensoep in de vriezer. Man man man wat een #DomesticBliss toch weer! 🤓
Ik hou dus best van #koken. Maar dan van die megadingen als een enorme #lasagne, of een grote #stoofpot, of een pan #snert oid. Van die dingen die mijn pubers niet eten en die veeeel te veel zijn voor mij alleen (en mijn vriezer is maar klein) Kleine porties koken vind ik niet leuk genoeg.
Misschien eens iets gaan doen met koken voor de #buurt of zo?
