What cheeses me off

Dont have time to go back to the supermarket this week, we are once a week shoppers when we rent a go-get car (for 1 hour) to transport the heavy stuff home, as we find online grocery shopping results in too many substitutes or bruised fruit/veg.

Plus today we wont leave our respective homes as need to be near the toilet due to this incident.

I will ask to see the manager next time I'm there which wont be until 2nd May.



That is on Woolworths not me; but am trying to find a email for the store since no one answers the phone it just rings out.
Yesterday I asked for and received a refund for fresh tiger prawns I bought 10 days ago. The amount was $24 so not insubstantial. I am not delicate when it comes to food not in it's prime, however these prawns had an odour (ammonia?) even I couldn't stomach even though they looked alright. They ask you take a photo of the batch number in these cases so it can be tracked back.
 
So am I on 15 June. Do you have a sense of how early you will arrive at CDG given all the EES issues? I am trying to positive about the trip going ahead so starting the micro planning now.
FWIW … i’ve hopped in and out of Schengen a bit over the last month and no delays or issues at any point, including registration at Madrid. If the Spanish can get their act together, then the rest of them can’t be too far behind.

I’ll be back through CDG in the first week of June so can report back on that too.
 
All within the space of 5 minutes got 2 WCMO this morning. Doorbell goes dingdongdingdongdingdongdingdongdingdongdingdong (6 times) then ratatatatatatatataaa on the door. WTF. No-one that knows me goes to the front door but comes along the driveway to the back door. But the urgency and demand of the visitor really got me. It is a long way to the front door so I wander outside and along the driveway to find a suited young man walking out from the front porch. "Who are you and what do you want?" "I;m from Ray White Real Estate" I admonished him for the rude doorbell ringing and knocking then told him to piss off, words to that effect, with a final "Go on" with an arm flourish.

Then just minutes later I see a business ute park in the driveway crossover. I approach and ask why he's parked in my drive. My brother is in that house. What house? That one there. Well park in their driveway not mine, or on the street!

They're all out to get me.

@MARTINE you should reserve the hugs for the young real estate agent. ;)
 
So the horse riding sand arena is infested with Cobbler's Peg and only Cobbler's Peg.
Everything else killed off with Flumioxazin.
Its got these thin needle like black seeds which sticks on dog fur and clothes
The fastest kill would be Glyphosate but I dont want to use Glyphosate

Im going to try DiCamba

Apparently extra strong (stronger than Woolies vinegar) also works as a generic weedkiller.
The alternative would be a Gas burn off wand.

I like the gas wand idea, but you might want to get one of the big road crew burners. You could be there for days using the typical hand held propane wand.

Once, just once, at the large airports like IST, SIN, MAD, DOH etc, i’d like an arrival gate at the base of the pier, not the flipping end!
Well, at least in DOH, the inevitable bus drops you off at the start of the terminal…hello teddy, how’s the sleep deprivation lamp torture going? 😂.

Had a bus departure at IST/TK today. Priority gate check and bus boarding for J, after which they crammed as many whY pax in as they could!

At least DOH give you nice dedicated J or F buses 😊
