hmm. Maybe code for "we stay, migrants go home"?

Finished watching the show Boat Story last night. Crikey!
I'm always up for a good comedy-thriller, and this did not disappoint. But note well, it's got a lot of bloody violence in it, and most other content warning triggers too.
But bloody funny! And full of surprises. Some excellent caricatures of characters. A touch of the bizarre, and the macabre. Rollicking good fun!

they've been saving up for this. Looks like another good night to watch some murder shows. Maybe a comedy-thriller like Boat Story…

Happy Stay Away From Bus Stop Bins Day to all. And again tomorrow. And Tuesday, because the bins here are emptied on Wednesday.
And a special Fuck You to people who drive their prawn heads, in their car, to the nearest bus stop and drop their smelly scraps into the bin so that the smell as they ferment bothers bus passengers waiting there.
Or you could freeze them until bin night, like any normal person might.
Anyway, don't even walk *near* a bus stop bin this weekend until after the next rubbish pickup day.

Took a walk around the sports fields, on the way to pick up wine before the Four Day Crisis arrives. Lots of birds about, but loved seeing these ones gathered.
Why so many ravens all poking at the ground together? More flying over, and hanging about in trees, this is just the ones on the ground.
And a lovely little group of ibis, including 6 white ibis and 2 straw-necked ibis. No bins for these birds, much better pickings up here at Lake Macquarie. (But I bet they've already visited the Awaba Tip not too far away!)

Rewatched the movie In Bruges again last night. Fucking funny movie! Oh, the strong language warning above is for the movie, BTW. Its language has much strength.
In my estimation, this is a perfect movie. Brilliantly written and directed, acted by absolute artisans, clever twists, and it's set in Bruges. It's a fairytale town, isn't it? How's a fairytale town not somebody's fucking thing?
Oh and it's offensive on basically every possible level. Including at height.
NB: suicidal content. May be a trigger for some. Quite brutally.

Speaking of chillies: one I bought from hammerbarn a couple of years ago billed itself as a "mild pumpkin habanero". It produces lots of these little yellow pumpkin-shaped chillies, packed *full* of seeds, no heat at all. But the flesh still has that lovely aroma and flavour of the habanero family. A couple of small ripe orange habanero for colour comparison.

Roast duck. So good. Tonight is night three, my favourite. Night one was the legs / thighs straight from the oven with roast veg. Night two was the breasts and remaining roast veg steamed over broad beans.
Night three, I strip the remaining meat and set aside, make stock from the bones and skin, munch on the cartilage while sorting those bits out, then make duck pilaf from the meat and stock. Night four will be more of the pilaf.
Thank you, duck. 🦆

Well, I had not expected to be putting the doona back on the bed at half past February. That Antarctic blast really has cooled things down. Am wearing layers this morning.

Finally finished season four of Babylon Berlin last night, and… wow. Very high impact series, top quality, an absolute artwork. Strong everything (sex, drugs, violence, politics, crime, phobic-all). If you can handle the ride, it's well worth it.

I have a tiny Python website on a Raspberry Pi that tells me which bins, can view from the phone (when in the house). Have been caught out by the neighbours before!

up north they have Southern Cassowaries, which will also happily prod around your picnic but you'd be best not interacting with one.

often "the majestic bin chicken", however. In the parks in the big cities, they'll browse around the picnics often prodding the ground around your feet. Safer to have around than the murder birds, for sure.

OK #NewcastleAU #NewcastleNSW I'm looking for help with a Chinese cooking wine please.
I used to be able to buy Guangdong rice cooking wine (by Shi Wan Pai) at a couple of the Newcastle shops, but I haven't seen it up here in quite a while. The last one I got was in Tuggerah, inside the Westfield there.
I specifically want this cooking rice wine because it seems to be safely gluten free, and DW has coeliac disease. It's made from just glutinous rice, water, salt, those Shanghai rice wine yeast balls which are GF safe.
Please tell me if you've seen it in Newcastle, and where. We shop at basically all of the Asian grocers in the area. Did see it once at the Nepalese shop in Birmingham Gardens but they've dropped their Chinese range (honestly it's amazing they fit what they do into that shop!)
Tonight's leftover drunken chicken will be great, but I don't want it to be the last one! (or I could hop a train to Tuggerah or Sydney I guess!)

I'm a huge fan of Playtime, such a great movie. But he had great influence on French cinema too; have you seen Doc Knock? I felt his fingerprints on that one!

your picks are top notch 👌 and I'd probably put two of them into my top three also, but I'll go with (in no order):
• Mon Oncle
• O Brother Where Art Thou?
• The Grand Budapest Hotel
And somebody else better nominate The Princess Bride ⚔️

Dandy Warhols, "I Am Sound".
Such a wonderfully crafted production, not a note or beat out of place or in excess. So unlike {waves generally around}.

traffic and slow passengers (and passengers who just fucking *have* to engage the driver in conversation) happen to any run, irrespective of its frequency.
