Beans yes, rice no.

It’s such a common thing here, it surprises me no one else eats it. It’s literally a combo we get starting in grade school.

I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

Ha!

I actively encouraged trick or treaters to my house for the first time. I didn't get any dress up stuff for my son (throwaway culture will be the end of us all!) but I thought he would enjoy people coming to the door. He ended up insisting on handing out the chocolate which was very cute. A dairy allergic girl cried because we didn't have anything suitable. Oopsie. My son loved it so I'll have to take him out next year. Bloody American shit, coming over here, giving us type 2 diabetes and making me meet the neighbours.

It's my birthday tomorrow so today is my last day in the office. My team make me feel like a very lucky girl!

They have decorated my desk and given me some really lovely things - and made me cry before half past 9 - and as you can see from the second photo we are all going to be on the mother of all sugar highs Posted Image

The boy turned 7 today. So nearly a Halloween baby but oh well.

It seems everyone decided to give him money this year and he made out like a complete bandit. $150 in cash! WTF?!?! Plus he put together a Lego car set he was given and has been Lego Batmanning it on the Xbox for the last couple of hours - pausing only to come in and pretend to hug me while he watches a walkthrough on youtube when he gets stuck.

On Sunday he gets a dinosaur party at the local museum. Man, it's good to be a kid these days! :yes

Back in my day, we were lucky if we were given dirt and not beaten that day! And we were grateful! :rolleyes:

Diablo 4's cinematic trailer makes me remember when it was the 90s and early 00s and Blizzard trailers were as unreal as they are now.

Just was rewatching the start of the Diablo IV unveil and the scenes that they showed gave me a Diablo II feel.

And more Barbarian, yes please. Always has been my favorite class.

After 4 grueling weekends and spending most evenings there, my flat's gonna be listed for rent again tomorrow morning.

Such a great feeling, knowing I don't have to change into work clothes stinking of spices and acetone and go to a second job as soon as I get home from work.

Yorkshire Tea is entirely superior - QT, you've gone up even further in my estimation!

(Joking aside, it's a very strong tea largely aimed at hard water - so I can accept it's a bit much for some!)

I've just done a quick survey of the household Yorkshire Tea stocks and have come to the shocking realisation that I can only have 2.4 mugs a day if I make it last till my next bulk delivery arrives, even after bringing that forward a month. I've just had some weak-ass brew by putting a single teabag in the pot to try and make it last longer, result is... weak. I like my tea strong. An emergency supermarket trip is called for. Funnily enough here in Essex our water is so hard it walks down the pipes yet only one of the 4 big-chain supermarkets stocks the "for hard water" blend.
