I always forget how long quiche takes bc of all the prep and waiting. This one is in homemade pastry with my garden vege - spinach onion cherry tomatoes and parsley (so it’s RFK and Brooke Rollins-proof). Should be cool enough to cut in about 40 minutes.

Always fun watching British serial television and identifying all the actors who have played Edward VIII and/or Charles (when pow) and/or Prince Philip. It‘s a whole subset of UK TV careers stg

So I self-designated as "semi-retired" (see prior post re losing most of my clients) and I think the hardest part of this is going to be not doing something every minute of the day because I now have so many damned minutes* *this balanced by the so little damned money but yolo

I would like to thank Google Maps directions app, formerly a useful service, for sending me TWENTY FIVE MILES out of my way for a place that turned out to be about 15 minutes from my house.

💯 I finally just brought my trashcans inside my gate bc this (and other fly dumping) was such a problem. But not everyone has the luxury of a gated yard, so don't be an ass. It's not my fucking dog I shouldn't have to deal with its 💩

Kudos (can't believe I'm saying this) to FedEx, which texted a delivery photo, to the wrong house, responded to my ticket with a human phone call, and redelivered it, all within about 15 minutes. Have I entered an alternate universe?

I love when not-Americans talk about annoying it is when Americans talk about American things Americanly but don't take into account all the not-America things that Americans have no reasonable reason to be thinking about. oh, sorry "USians". 🙄
