Was looking up mould as a medicine and found this website - looks almost as much fun as wikipedia as a workplace timewaster - owlcation.com - articles look sound and a good place to find names to search further.

I am thicc and juicy
Sweet but mostly spicy
Tingle on my tongue
Chase me with spiced rum
I promise I'm delicious
No need to be suspicious
I'm planning father's day meal. I'm thinking crispy airfried chicken wings with a honey hot secret sauce, rice and maybe corn on the cob. Of course things could change. Might end up eating crumpets.
My recycling bin didn’t get collected (it was out) so I let the council know… it’s remained uncollected for days now. I’ve been wheeling it out each day and chucking other people’s rubbish back out before wheeling it back (if I don’t it will helpfully be filled with literal garbage or dog poop by dickheads).
If it’s going to be collected fortnightly then please don’t miss… At this point I may either need to go Karen or give up and wait for the full month
It’s not going Karen if you’ve already asked nicely for a service you’re paying for and you’ve been told it’ll be sorted but it still hasn’t been. That’s called holding people accountable for doing their jobs.
Grey clouds loom overhead, in my head.
Rolling, rumbling, fill me up with dread;
Melancholic dreams as I lay in my bed.
Dread looms overhead, in my head.
Can we keep faith in what is said
When all the news fills me up with dread?
I turn away but clouds loom overhead,
Melancholic dreams in my head.
The end of the world happens in my bed,
Every night they fill me up with dread.
Intruding thoughts wonder if I'm dead
As grey clouds loom overhead.
I got my first Temu order yesterday. The kinetic sculpture looks better quality than I expected, I got some nice decorative solar lights and a few little decorations to hide in the garden. Also got a set of solar mushroom lights which look awful, and a decorative plastic stake that was squashed and broken. Rather happy with the return process - I put through a return for the broken item and mushrooms, immediately accepted with no need to actually return.
TIL of Spectrophilia…sexy ghost time.
I've seen that scene in Ghostbusters too.
Can it be Friday 4:30 pm now? Please.
Have the unholy urge to have a clean shave even though I know it'll make me terribly unhappy once I've done it.
