My online grocery order arrived, and apparently I ordered chicken breast chunks instead of whole pieces. My plan to grill them to slice for sandwich meat is obviously not going to work, but I'm thinking a nice chicken, leek & mushroom casserole is now on the cards.

Could you not grill the chunks and lob them onto the sandwich?
Another restructure at work (public sector), a few hundred positions are going. It's both bad and good news. Bad, cause people are losing jobs, good is that they seem to be getting rid of deadwood that's been hanging around for a long time.
Interesting times.
I reached into my toiletry bag last night and my razor decided to take a slice of my finger. Luckily I stopped it before it took too much but urgh so annoying.
Ouch. Do they sell caps like the ones they put on your toothbrush for razors?
Might be useful to avoid a repeat.

Does anyone have recommendations for couriers they use to buy second hand goods from interstate?
I’m looking to buy a device from Gumtree/Marketplace that can weigh up to 20kg and in a (relatively) decent sized box ~(70cmx40cmx40cm)
Looking for services (not necessary) they offer like:
- either picking up from the person's house or they deliver it to a location
- they can pack it for you
- method of payment to the seller otherwise I'd have to trust the other party to ship it off
I tried looking into backloading but it seems like too much trouble for minimal savings. Looked at courier sites and wasn’t sure if I was doing it correctly but it was estimating ~$80 which is actually not too bad. Would much rather go off of recommendations.
Was recommended Couriers Please but it depends on the franchise
Couriers Please has a horrible reputation.
I remember that I would never use them or buy from some online stores if they used them as they are really bad.
I'm sorry I can't offer anything else other than that.
yeah it depends on the franchise. The one where we lived in bayside? Top fuckin' notch. Where we live now in Kingston? Utter dogshit.

Fabulous gardeniing weather. I have so much to do out there it's hard to know what to do first. I'll have to go with the potter around and do whatever catches my attention approach, trying to plan what I "should" do will just lead to overwhelm and decision paralysis. 🌞🌻👨🌾
