Time to start hoarding!

When you go to block an account and accidentally follow them – and they follow you back.

Reboots and adaptations should be written by people who are either fans of the source material or have, at the very least, watched/read the source material. https://t.co/Oa2mGvQ1tY

I’m hoping for a couple of naps. Those are my big plans. 🙂

No big plans here, I’m afraid. Mostly housework and doing a bunch of trail work related admin stuff.

my weekend plans? just to keep breathing – one breath at a time.

I hear Toronto is in for a drastic temperature dip this weekend?
Hope You, Akemi, and Sharky stay warm and Sharky doesn’t give you too much a hard time
about being asked to relieve himself on the balcony/terrace.
May not be safe heading out for walks this weekend.

I buy my chocolate in bulk already. Callebaut Power 44 milk chocolate in 2.5kg bags. AU$65 per bag although I usually wait for the 20% off discounts before I buy.

The weekend is nearly half done here in Australia! I have a ginger and date bundt cake in the oven.

How did they know it had the texture of a cat’s paw??

Same as when we had Hedgehog flavour crisps ( potato chips to the US0fA readers! ) … who knew what hedgehog tasted like!

Yep loving the franchise should be non negotiable for doing reboots. That Generation X Men movie/failed pilot looks like it hates comics, superheroes and mutants:

If chocolate prices are rising because farmers are getting paid better that’s ok, of course the artificial chocolate bar will pop up on shelves next to the artificial coffee and burgers.
