  1. There was about 5.5 litres of whole milk BBD 18th Jan in the office fridge. When I put the new milk from the doorstep into the fridge in the morning I carefully lined it up so there was a new row and a yesterday BBD row, as most sensible people will use the yesterday stuff — it was entirely fine and good. When I went back later someone has clearly had an attack of disgust and shoved them all right up the back top corner of the fridge in their own little quarantine zone.

    I asked if I could give them a good home, which the office manager gladly agreed to given she'd just have to tip them down the sink otherwise.

    The milk is now ricotta. Just done the simple way: citric acid and salt (I do have rennet, but time is short and that's a faff.)

    I may take a ricotta cake into work on Thursday (as I'll need WfH Wednesday time to manage such a thing.)

    I’d argue it is going splendidly. You got to spend 20+ years traveling and doing something you love and believe in (obvious headaches of being employed aside). There’s not a lot of people that can say that - at all.

    When I was younger (late teens / early 20s) I could have made a lot of decisions differently, and been in a much better financial position today moving towards retirement (in another 20+ years lol). Instead I got to see most of the country, hang out with some killer musicians and good people, go cliff diving, race cars on tracks that should never have been certified, and a whole lot of other things. Would life be easier now if I hadn’t? Maybe - but I did those things, and it’s a blessing to have that perspective and those lessons.

    You’re in a valley - and they always look darker the longer you’re in it. But it’s not forever, and nothing that you described is a negative.

    You should bring back that Done-it-all guy. He was kinda cool.

    That was getting #trite.

    Damn this damn that. Funny stuff!

    I gotta story about a potato that kills people by the thousands and no one can figure out how.

    Damn, that's not funny.
