  • Product review: Lime Mojito in a cask, from Aldi.

    I got carded buying this for the first time in many years. This is classy stuff. Not sure I've ever actually purchased a cask before?

    First sip: is this just lime cordial?

    Several gulps later: oh there's the kick, this is really quite strong isn't it.

    Verdict: goes ok. Pretty tasty. Would be better in a fancy glass with some mint and fruit and shit but I couldn't be bothered. 3.5/5 🍸🍸🍸, a solid almost-holiday in a cask.

  • Still attempting to negotiate an agreement between my brain, the cats, and the clock.

  • I just kind of want to take my eyes balls out of my head and give them a rest in a jar of eyedrops. My vision is shocking today from pounding my pupils on a screen for about two weeks, not to mention my poor hips from sitting way way waaaay too much.

    I miss my bike, my bed and would like to be somewhere apart from dorm rooms with slamming doors that start from some ungodly hour in the morning. Yep, yah Llab is tired. You know, whine, whine.

    In other news, how are we? I escaped before the poor weather, please regale me with tales of your happenings… Pretty please… <3

  • At the p's clearing out their rain tank filters from on top about 2.5m up.

    Reminded me when I was a teen scaling them (wasted) at night without a ladder full ninja to sneak in when I forgot my keys as the laundry window which was never locked is directly above one. Used to get in so much shit for doing that.

    Now it's sanctioned, with a ladder, sober and far less exciting.

    • I remember being accidentally locked out as a kid, and having no trouble breaking in through the aluminium-framed bathroom window. Bit of a worry in hindsight, and lucky there weren’t more crims around at the time.

    • Twice I've locked myself out of my house. Had to take the glass slats out of the toilet window, scale up the down pipe, perch on the window sill and decide whether I wanted to take a giant leap missing the toilet or risk sliding off the lid and slamming into the closed door. We now have a spare key hidden in the yard.

      • In those instances it's better to see if you can hold on to the ledge and scale or drop down instead of jumping or making a leap.

        It would significantly reduce the height from which you come down if you did that or had room to do that.

        Learnt this from if we ever had to escape a fire from out of a window.

      • Spare keys somewhere useful, memorable, and not one of those dumb fake rocks is an art.
