Ever feel like your downtime is constantly interrupted by other tasks niggling away at you? Frequently jumping from task to task is called time confetti, and while it might sound cute, it isn't great for productivity or our wellbeing.

Spice it up by pretending to get bitten/clawed, or the patient runs around the clinic so you have to chase it down with a towel ...

Like, customer service or treatment/first aid role plays?

I've tried 12 mins at 120 deg - eggs were room temperature and worked well for hard boiled. Doing the same with eggs from the fridge resulted in cooked whites and runny yolks.
EDIT: both above were in an airfryer.

Hugs. Start planning recovery time - the planning helps occupy the mind.

Looking outside at this glorious sunny day - enjoy it while it lasts co it ain't gonna last.

Mixed. I think they just bag the accumulated poop. I understand its mostly elephant poop as they produce so much.

Thanks!

I believe you can buy ZooPoo from Royal Melbourne Zoo, maybe Werribee as well. Yes, vegies do grow well in it.

Wimdy alright, and will get worse. The purple spiral of doom incoming.

Chicken soup please. It's been a rough weekend and my stomach is still very upset.

True. But I'm betting on this bloke knowing what he's doing, given how beautiful his roses are year after year.

Maya waves languid paw in our general direction.

Yeah, roses like being treated meeeeaaan.

Expressed as an absolute distance? Or as a percentage of the available hallway length? Also bowl quality and materials - ceramic would be significantly harder to shift than Temu steel/aluminium. And hallway floor covering - carpet or boards or rugs? Hard to standardise into a sporting event I think. Would be fun to watch tho.

PSA: The bloke down the road that grows the most AMAZING roses has just hard pruned his roses back to practically bare stumps. As has his chief rival further down the street. Hmm - gardening is on the agenda this weekend methinks.

I never in all my born days thought this would happen. But on reflection, the article makes a good point about confluent aspirations.

Er, quick oats are not pre-cooked. They are rolled thinner and ground up smaller so they cook very quickly. That is all. Unless the packet says of course.

The fresh air will do you good. Also ozone etc. Bundle up warm and do beach I reckon.

Never knew there was a name for this - the story of my life all the same.


Buyers who purchase off-the-plan units, apartments and townhouses in Victoria will potentially pay tens of thousands of dollars less stamp duty under a government concession.

But who in their right mind BUYS off the plan, given the lousy build quality of most of the 'off the plan' strata title developments. I've lost track of all the noise, mould, cracking, horrible neighbours complaints about these developments both here and on the other site.

Two draws so far this season. Yes, I think we need a song for that. Abc justin news comes good again.


The Environment Protection Authority said it is in contact with a council in Melbourne’s west after mulch believed to be contaminated with asbestos was found at a playground.

Looks like it's not just Sydney that has a problem with lazy disposal of building rubble. Only buy from reputable suppliers peeps.


Melbourne's Southern Cross Station is a gateway for commuters and visitors to the city, but experts say secret data shows the air quality poses a health risk to workers and passengers.

Not news. Not if you use this station. Published in the very early morning, not prime time. Something has to be done about this.


From skewering the football industry to finding themselves oddly ensconced within it, the Coodabeen Champions bow out of broadcasting with a remarkable and unlikely legacy.

Waaaaaaaahhhh! No more footy songs! No-one will ever beat beat the 6.15 from Hurstbridge for peak Melbourne.

There was once thought to be fewer than 1,000 numbats left in the wild, but a new study in southern Western Australia suggests that number is far greater.

Looks like our Nellie and friends are doing better than expected.


A Latrobe Valley man is facing ten charges and has had his Lego toy collection confiscated after police seized a commercial quantity of illegal drugs.

Dealing drugs to, to - fuel a Lego habit? WTF?

New dish - salmon stuffed hash browns
Just came back from brunch with a friend - she'd cooked a very nice variation on hashbrowns.
Thinnish layer of mashed spud in a lined lamington tray, layer of smoked salmon, another layer of mashed spud. Then chilled, cut in sections, breaded and fried.
End result was a hash brown with a distinct layer of fish in the middle. She served these with a poached egg on top and a side of avocado salsa.
Very nice indeed and a good brunch dish.

Hot days could be too much for Australia's cutest anteater

New research shows numbats are overheating in high summer temperatures, and scientists suggest climate change could make things worse.

Oh no!
