If everyone maintains the correct social distance is a crowd ok?

1 is the lie...cos, I dunno, I'm just guessing.

Iso & Quarry are kinda here to stay I reckon. My brother and his mates have their kids running an iso Olympics. So the poor supermarket workers are copping a fair wake of verbal so they are a but fragile at the moment....last time I was down the shops the checkout chick burst into tears when the old bloke in front of me said "Thanks darl" as he left. Now here I am thinking it was happy tears cos someone was nice to her...yeah nah it was a language/cultural/accent issue. Being me I ask her if she's alright. She says it's too much she is sick of everyone being racist to her all the time. (Huh??)...yes all the time men and women are being racist to her and calling her "Darl"....huh?, How the fruck is calling someone darling (darl) racist...I do it all the frickin time...so I tell her 'i don't think they mean to be racist, they are just saying thank you'...."but just because I am indian why do they have to call me Darl"....an then I jerried....when an aussie says Darl it sounds like Dahl....so trying not to laugh I say....'yeah-nah they aren't calling you Dahl....they are calling you darrrrl...short for Darling...if they wanted to be racists an nasty they'd call you curry muncher. Girls and boys will both say it to you...sometimes ladies will say thanks love or thanks sweetie too. It's just that we don't say r properly." An yep as I walked off...thanks Darl. But at least she smiled this time.

Yes 3 is the lie..... 1 I did tell the son in law that my daughter was his expense now. 2 I did have a pizza button on my phone. 3 I was not a domestic ice hockey ref but I was a softball blue. Your up @jillar...give us ya 123

Aren't crowds banned at the moment?

Walnuts are a good snack and also an appetite suppressant. Black chai tea without sugar is a good appetite suppressant & it boosts your metabolism. Strawberries and blueberries are the best fruit for diabetics....and strawberries are an appetite suppressant. You can do this. No reason not to have a cuppa tea or coffee in the morning.

Laurel.... Although if you look at Boo's first post that was me except instead of watching a Laurel and Hardy skit I watched Abbott n Costello's who's on first...cos I remembered Laurel and Hardy shit me to tears.

I have been watching the Hemsworth Iso exercises videos...and I don't even break a sweat .

Ok...you can grate some beetroots and carrots to make a coleslaw. It's yummy. You could boil or roast them as you would a spud. Roast beetroots should be eaten hot...but boiled ones see nice cold, and you can use them in lots of salads.

Oh...raw beetroot grated, pommegranite seeds, baby spinach, radicio, mesclan leaves, thin sliced Spanish onion, feta, sliced pear....drizzle of macadamia nut oil and a squiz of lemon or lime juice.

I use it heaps....sliced and pickled in salads, on sandwiches or burgers. Greater raw into a coleslaw salad (I'll often do this with a Vietnamese dressing and not a cream/mayo type dressing. Boiled, cut into chunks and cooled into a salad with baby spinach leaves, crumbled feta or goats cheese, walnuts and onion and if ya hzve email figs. I have a recipe for beetroot chocate cake. Or you can just roast them, with some carrots and spuds and pumpkin. Ok roasted chunks of beetroot and pumpkin tossed in some curry powder (Shearman mix) or cummin roasting with some toasted pine nuts or cashews or almond slithers with rice or couscous or chickpeas or Dahl. I have a good recipe for chocolate beetroot cake I'll hunt out for ya.

Oh now I want leak and tayta soup....oh an some nice roasted beetroot....mmmmm beetroot, cos ya know ya can't beat a root. Pallet pagola furnisher is awesome.

Mate....let's aim to make this the final push....no more NRT yeah? So chewing normal gum will help with appetite issue...most gum now is sugar free do diabetic friendly. Healthy snacking option that is good..celery sticks. Also good option is to suck on sugar free lollipops. I know it's hard to do that final step and give up the NRT...cos I've done it...but you can do this mate.

Confession: I've taken to have a lovely glass of alcohol free gin and tonic each night.

I use wholemeal flour for mine and put Rae berries in the batter. The berries cook with the pancake and turn into little jammy pockets of yum. Blueberries work best. My dad puts banana in his when he cooks them.

Fixed...see my reason for edit as to why...why don't phones bounce...I just get it trained up right to not auto correct the wrong thing and it frickin breaks an gotta train a new one.

Struggling to explain the difference between an English muffin and a crumpet....um yeah-nah a crumpet is a crumpet....a crumpett is frucking awesome and an English muffin is craptastic....an English muffin is like a flat, denses, stale roll that you have to cut in half and toast...a crumpet is a golden disc (or square) of holy goodness...maybe it's like a cross between a pancake and a roll....it's kinda spongey I spose... It's bought 2/3 inch thick....it's more about how the stuff you put on it melts into the holes and sort of oozes out when you take a bite.

Wtf? You mob don't have crumpets? They are things with holes on the top you put in the toaster and when you butter them and put on the spread (golden syrup or Vegemite or runny egg yokes are best) it melts into the holes. They are very different to english muffins.

And now I am craving poached eggs.

Right now I am eating a Vegemite crumpet and drinking a coffee while I prep myself to go to work. Just wondering if our European origins down here are why everyone is struggling so much with following stage 3 isolation rules....kinda feel defiance of authority may be culturally hardwired into us.

Forget the green thumb projects....I think a fairy princess Taj Mahal cubby house is in order...

Confession: I've never completed a jigsaw puzzle.

^^what she said ....only German I know.

Second GP much better...cleaned it out, reakons stitches not needed but he glued and start stripped it, and put a pressure dressing on. Back tomorrow for a redressing and review. Feeling a bit sore and silly but wrapped she don't haveta do dishes. @Cbdave you are so right...when I was a kid the GP did it all never come across a doctor who couldn't even put steri strips on properly before.

Makin a cuppa...and taking a deep breath...so me Arvo started good, popped into Woolies for some cheese (cos apparently we have none)...scored a 2kg bag of sugar, a pack of macaroni pasta, and 24 dunny rolls...get home feeling accomplished....walk in put the bags down and the first thing the kid says is "I'm sorry mummy, I didn't mean to" ...what..."my finger is bleeding" ... understatement of the decade...so quick first aid in the car on the way to casu...hmmm nope our casu is closed because 8 staff tested positive...so ring around the local quacks...get in check...yep the pad of her thumb is hanging off...but they have no surgical glue....so steri strips and come back Monday because it probably need a stitches but I can't do that...so ring around the other doc's and we are off to get it glued at 7 which is prob good cos it's already bled through what the first doc did.
