There's a story about a 19th Century cotton mill owner who bought a huge boat and moored it in the canal outside his mill.
He called his workers together and said: "Look at my new, beautiful boat! I was born into poverty, but I've worked hard and applied myself and now I've bought that beautiful big boat!"
"And I want you to realise that if you work hard, put your noses to the grindstone and keep busy, then maybe one day, one day in the future, I'll buy a bigger, nicer boat!"
Rewatched "Wallace and Grommit: Vengeance Most Fowl" last night and seriously, if you have only seen it once, then you didn't spot all the jokes.

5 great things to eat in #Adelaide that aren't a $200 degustation
1. Sausage Roll at Banana Boogie Bakery, Belair.
2. German Cake at Apex Bakery, Tanunda
3. Chicken Parmi at Macclesfield Hotel
4. Mixed Kebab at Ghan Kebab House, Kilburn
5. Tea Smoked Duck at Ying Chow Restaurant, Gouger Street.
Seppeltsfield winery South Australia
Tasted a Reisling, a Grenache Shiraz Mataro blend, a straight Grenache and a dry Apera (what we call sherry in Australia)
All delicious. The GSM was quite complex, but the Shiraz was the star. Not as heavy as traditional Australian Shiraz and fruit forward.
The sherry wasn't quite as dry as I expected, with just a hint of fruit stopping it from stripping your face off.
"What's the world coming to when you can't even be racist any more.? It's woke, political correctness gone made!"
Broken Rice with BBQ Pork Chop at my favourite Vietnamese eatery. It's at Virginia, North of Adelaide in the market garden area and has many locals of Vietnamese descent for Customers.
Because it's an hour and a half drive from home I don't get there often, but when I do it's an event!

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social We have an orange cat who was coming home smelling of fresh washing, like he'd been sleeping in a washing basket full of warm clothes.
You have never seen a cat look so sad as when the woman who lived next door moved and took her washing basket with her.

@lukemartell@social.coop Glasgow and Vegetarian. What a way to prove the "Deep Fried Pizza" stereotype wrong!
Just saw a late night TV ad where some Olympic Swimmer was endorsing Roof top solar.
He started with "Most people know me from what I do in the pool."
The filthy devil.

War Time Political Dictatorship for Fun and Profit.

The cat was asleep on the mat and farted so loudly that he terrified himself, ran out of the room and now won't come back in in case it gets him.
Every suburb needs a good little restaurant that's selling really good food.
Ours is a little Nepalese restaurant run by a lovely local family. They took over the empty Pizza Hut building and made it so much better.

A stitch in time was that book by Ursula Le Guin wasn't it? Madeleine who?
Oh, whatever.
I managed to last until yesterday until I found out that a 20 year old Mozart wrote a Concerto for Three Pianos. Count 'em: Three!
And of course, being Mozart, it's sublime.

@astro_jcm@mastodon.online If "pounding your schnitzel" IS a euphemism, surely the crumbs cause itching?
My son found a garden ornament toy soldier and repainted it to look like the Babadook. So this is the view that greets you on the back verandah, peering through the leaves with its light up eyes.
Meanwhile, in the front yard, Dusky Bells correa, Arrowhead saltbush, Flinders Ranges wattle, plus sour sobs as a bonus.
Looked out the back window this afternoon and saw this.
You can tell its cold outside when even the ducks are at the door trying to get in.
So, not THAT accessible.
Me with my father. I must have been 12 months old. I was 18 months old when my sister was born, so that would be why I look pleased with myself. I'm an only child. That would change....

Put your sherbet fountains out tonight.

The National Aus-Alert Signal just went off on my phone and suddenly I can see Ultaviolet and hear the Wi-Fi.
Should I be concerned?
Went to little Thai restaurant today in the unfashionable, student accommodation end of town.
Kind of homely feel with lovely service from a single family. I had Pad Kaprao chicken, which was sensational. My son, whose recommendation it was, had a lava omelette. No I don't know either, bit it was draped over rice with garlic pepper sauce, chicken and vegetables. Also delicious.
Any moment now, some Trump acolyte is going to claim that he wasn't trying to be Jesus in that pic.
Jesus must have hacked Truth Social so that He could pretend to be Trump, to bask in the love people have for the President.
As you do, my wife and I were talking about funerals tonight.
I told her I want to be buried with a headstone that says, "Yes, now it finally IS all about me, thankyou!"
Saw this Banh Mi store in a shopping centre. They've gone for the clever pun.
"Bang Mi. So good you'll want more."
I assume they know about the double entendre, and it's not an English as a second language situation, and no one has had the heart to tell them.
Either way, it's adding to the gaiety of the nations.
If you get a chance to see this - in Australia, it's on ABC iView, but something called BYU TV seems involved in the US - then watch it with your kids.
A bit like David Lynch for 12 year olds.
