Finding something new (to me) at the supermarket. Found a Desapo Melon the other day. I'd never heard of them before (it's hard to hear properly under this rock where I live). Currently trying to turn it into a melon curd, which will eventually go into a cheesecake or tart, and maybe some muffins.
Ive seen them just never bought one...might have too and grow it if its nice

The most popular melon in spain, 'Piel de Sapo' is Spanish for 'frog's skin'.
Its white flesh is much sweeter than those rock hard, supermarket cantaloupes and it stores for months.
In Italy this late cropper is harvested and hung above the rafters to last as a Christmas day delicacy

Post lockdown gym - a quarter full Monday night when it would normally be full. Probably not even 10% full Tuesday lunch when it would normally be about half full. Happy days.

With the missus and I working from home im glad im not the only one who deals with dipshits in my work. We sit at the same table just complaining about ******* colleagues who dont or are unable to do their work and clients who are unable to follow simple instructions. We just bounce off our complaints with each other and its good to vent to someone.

The flipside of this is the people you and the missus are complaining about are probably sitting around complaining about you to anyone within earshot.

"Plans are under way in South Australia – home to most of Australia’s toilet paper manufacturing "

Not sure why this pleases me, but it does. Immensely!

Hell no
To add to my last post, we will be watching the simpsons etc and they'll hear a specific saying or sentence and look at me and be thinking 'thats why you say that'

For example:
'you dont make friends with salad' or 'purple monkey dishwasher' or 'purple is a fruit'
Same here

suddenly they are aware i am no comedic genius. Im just a copy paste hack
