    I watched American Primeval again and it’s a brutal unforgiving show, much like what real life on the frontier was like

    audience reaction has been interesting, so many people, men, dislike the main female lead , they are even angry at her

    and now I see it’s because they blame her for the male lead getting killed

    people are strange

    So the brachiosaurus right at the start of the Jurassic World exhibition scared the boys, but they were fine with the raptor and the scary part with the T.rex at the end. I think they were surprised to see dinosaurs to start with and then got into it

      That’s the coolest thing 😊

      and it’s good to be a bit scared of the natural world, I think that feeling of danger in everyday life is something that modern humans has lost

    Let me just open this pack of ready to eat curry and add some baked chicken to it and microwave with rice. Oh too much chili oil I need to remove some. Only two pieces of potato? Gotta boil one. No veggies! Let me boil some green peas.

    Saw a shriveled male and female flower pair… pulled the male one open and tried to open up the female to hand pollinate - the female flower came off in my hand. DOH. If that flower didn’t already get fertilised the little zucchini will wither and die.

    No flowers on the others. I wonder how much the heat and probably too small pots are stressing these plants.

      Bulleen Art and Garden used to (not bags, but will deliver with a truck. You buy how many sq m you need, they scoop it from bulk area and deliver it to you). Not sure if they still do it, haven’t been there in a while.

        I definitely used it back in 2019, I hope they still do now as it was one of their big selling points. Had a whole heap delivered to sharehouse driveway and carted it to the back to engage in extensive planting. (Man, those were the days when I used to do so much more…)

      I think Bunnings co-ordinates (???) delivery of 1m square bags of stuff. From an outside supplier I think. Certainly mulch, but might do other stuff too. Is that the sort of fing you are thinking of?
