WASTE OF TIME C.D.2

 A couple of days ago, I decided to strain a pottle of Basil Pesto, to see if I could extract some of the oil.

Cos I figured it was probably 80% oil, if not more.

ABOVE:  Sadly, that was a waste of time.  Seems my sieve wasn't fine enough, and 95% of the product dripped through.

Not sure what else to use to get rid of most of the oil?

Or just accept it's super oily, and eat it.  Or not.

I'm thinking NOT.  

Much as I love it, it's super high in 'points/calories' ... bla bla bla.

So is Mayo. Dang.

Rather typically, anything you use to add flavour to a salad/wrap etc is seemingly high in points.

I knew this.  I had just gotten used to slathering it on without a care in the world.

Ideas for flavoursome shit I can put on me wraps?  In me sandwich?    All and any considered.  Ta in advance.

ABOVE: I'm going out today to look at something like this.  For transporting my sewing machine from the car to inside the hall on Patchwork days.

I know it's only once a month... but I am not going to be able to carry that friggin machine forever!  It weighs a tonne.

To buy a dedicated sewing machine bag with wheels, that my machine would fit in costs around $300 - 400 !  That's just a bit more than I am prepared to spend.

Sadly, I did have such a bag a while ago, but it died.

I will probably head out to Mitre 10 and Bunnings around 9, after the rush hour traffic has dissapated.

Then it will be home to do some fluffing around the house.

I better check in on Lacy as well.... see how she's feeling today.  I bet that mouth of hers is still sore!

DAY TWO of my Challenge.

AND.... the trolls are back.  This came in late last night:

Of course you can not do it. You are all talk, a drama bitch. All you do is moan and complain, poor Stu. No wonder he goes to the pub every night. You should try not taking pain meds so often, you seem dependant on them. You go to WW but clearly don’t follow the plan. Its your way or the highway. Your kids are afraid to mess with you. You are just a nosy busybody in there lives. I could go on but I won’t. You just never follow through with anything and you can’t take any criticism. You really need a psychiatrist.

And the dentist let you sit on the floor because he or she didn’t want you there. Who goes in with a 40 or 50 year old child. You and your kids all need to grow up.

Yep.  Usually I just hit 'DELETE' on nasty Anon Comments, but this one deserved an answer.

My husband goes to the pub ONE night per week, for two hours.  

I take a panadol once every MONTH or so... for a headache primarily.

Going to Weight Watchers, no matter if I follow the plan or not,  is my choice.  How I choose to lose weight is NONE of your damn business.

You know nothing about my kids or the dynamics within our family.  NO ONE is afraid of me!  That notion is just ridiculous.

I was more than welcome to be in the room with Lacy at the dentists.  No matter how OLD my kid is, I will SUPPORT THEM if they need it.  

You are a fuckwit.  A nasty, sad individual, who needs to get a life, and stop stalking mine.

This is the LAST time I will address YOUR dumb arse comments.

   

NOW FUCK OFF.  Ta so much.

ABOVE:  Look at that!  I found the perfect trolley at Mitre 10, it was the one I had narrowed my search down to.  And it is perfect.  Everything I need to take to patchwork group fits on it.

I might use a tie down to make double sure nothing falls off, but otherwise... It all fits.

It folds down to a very small size when not in use, and it is compact and lightweight for getting in and out of the car.

I'm now home and contemplating doing nothing much today.  

And... it's now 4.23 pm, and I really have had the most lazy day!  Feels wonderful to just potter around the house, doing bugger all.

ABOVE:  I stuck up all the Braid Runner pictures on me sewing room wall.  There's 4 more to put up once they are printed.

It's my way of keeping track of what I have done.

And my walls look neat covered with all my creations.

8.20 pm:  Well I'm happy to report Lacy is feeling fine, she's even managing to eat 'normal' meals.  So all good there.

It's time to sign off for the day, catch ya tomorrow.
