I'm sure your brain is loving doing something completely different from the other languages you already know. 😃

Looking at the list of potential nominees is delightful. Francesca Albanese, Greta Thunberg, Pope Leo...

Looking forward to seeing how the political situation of the world changes on Friday when the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded and someone other than trump gets it. Again.

😂 Earlier this year I practiced my Chúc mừng năm mới (happy new year) for Lunar New Year and made his day with it when I walked in that morning. 😆

I can also confidently say things like Chào buổi sáng, Chào buổi chiều, Chúc mừng sinh nhật, and Tôi xin lỗi at the appropriate times. I am as Vietnamese as anything. 😂

Since no one else in my house knows any French I just say Je ne sais pas to everything. French as, mate 😂. One of my workmates is Vietnamese so there is a lot of De rien in reply to Cảm ơn, and Không có gì in reply to Merci between us 😆.

The old chicken shoes were clogs from Bunnings bought about ten years ago. They are still fine but have worn smooth on the bottom. I have slipped badly on the dewy morning back step a few times now because of that, so new shoes it is 😕. Resentfully 😆. But saving myself more bruising.

That looks delish. Did you use the Tin Eats recipe?

I actually was really torn because I needed new rubbery shoes but was not happy about being responsible for buying yet more waste that will never break down. I know my shoe choices are a tiny tiny drop in a vast ocean of pollution but I was happier paying more for something that will last longer.

What a legacy trump is digging for himself.

In the only one in the house who can let them out in the morning without being immediately attacked. I only get attacked 70% of the time. 😆

That's what the old chicken shoes were, fake crocs with no holes. They've been walking the chicken path for years and years and have got no tread left so they're dangerously slippery on the back step. I thought I'd upgrade to new shoes to save me an undignified fall off the veranda 😆.

Ended up buying a pair of elastic sided Bogs, if I'm going to pay a stupid amount for rubber shoes at least they can look decent. Yes I need safe shoes for the chook yard. Need to evade rooster attack almost every morning. 😆

I needed some new chicken shoes (sacrificial non absorbent shoes only worn in the muddy chicken yard). In my searches I found that crocs are over fifty bucks. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.

I actually googled this to see if you were being sarcastic 😆. I'll have to check it out now and see if it measures up!

Only telling your friends you're going to the zoo, zero further details offered. 😆

I'm sure there are excellent scientists doing truly good work in this field in the US. Am unsure if that work will be allowed to do the good it should.

US closely monitoring death of Russian plague laboratory employee

"The US says it is closely monitoring the death of an employee at a Siberian "anti-plague" laboratory from what Russian officials are calling pneumonia of an unknown origin." The US is monitoring? Lol, this is not as comforting an update as it historically would've been.

Officials in Russia provide conflicting information about the death of an employee at a Siberian "anti-plague" laboratory.

Isn't she living in France now? I think she ran away from Australia in covid times because there wasn't enough 'freedom' for an anti vaxer like her 😆.

Tina Arena is a bad Aussie 😆

That stack of dessert looks delish.

I appreciate that you remember my ramblings.

To be fair, when people spoke to you in the past I bet you walked away and immediately forgot what they were rambling on about anyway.

If you have to train it leave your mark for the future, train it to be bitingly critical of such things. 😆

Also, don't train the robots.

Oh wow, that is exactly you.

Not the best weather for a road trip!

Terrifying indeed. And imagine having 50 friends (50!!) you could message in that situation, thinking that they would likely be interested in it. And imagine how many times it's happened before.

They won't, of course, because they're all complete and utter arseholes, But maybe one day they'll have daughters they truly love and realise that any guy she comes across could be the same as them.
