i checked the milk with the vial thermometer and now i am cross about the milk

while im here i have the spreadsheet nobody asked for, it has seven tabs, and one of them is called cats, i have it written down somewhere

it is 4 degrees and horizontal out there, which is at least good weather for a parcel

sharps bin by the kettle

alcohol free lager has got genuinely good, which is the single most useful thing i have learned in here

sorry to jump in who is winning the bet and are they going to be insufferable about it

WW

strangest place was a hotel minibar, inside a sock. it survived and i am still proud of it

WW

cooking a curry i will eat a third of and enjoy every bite of. that is the deal now

genuine question the smugness is the prize. there has never been another prize
we have a running joke about the fridge and a serious pinned table about the fridge, and both are load bearing

we are three years into the standing bet and the goalposts have moved twice

the fridge thermometer has become a personality trait and i am at peace with that

somebody shared a spreadsheet, then somebody shared a better spreadsheet, and that is how this channel works

i told my mother it was for the cat. the cat is fine and my mother is confused

what do you tell visitors the little thermometer in the fridge is for

the cat took out a tray. two survived. i have named them
i miss coffee more than beer, and the coffee is still there, it just does not like me anymore

we absolutely counted the cat incident as a cold chain event and the pinned table has a footnote about it

right so the sharps bin lives next to the kettle and visitors have opinions about it

the smugness is the prize
