He still ate it. After he removed all the plastic around it.

We've not had a microwave for 20 years so why he thought he could put plastic in there...

LTB

I only have 2 pairs of that model of Crocs! But it meant the last set were free to pick up and buy this little beauty 👇 (I may have bought a lot of things today that I most definitely did not need but absolutely wanted! In my defence the below item does actually have a removable microwave heat pack inside!)

Also now I've had the last of the Christmas guests do I start the long and arduous task of taking the tree and decorations down???

My Xmas guests (dd and her bf) arrived this evening. After 3 days at his family's house being fed all the usual festive fare she'd requested something 'healthy and vegetarian' and seemed genuinely pleased I took her at her word with two bean salads.

Take care not to overdo it @Boiledbeetle

This.

It's the only way.

Flag, week and diversity training all agreed.
I think Bandicoot has a slightly murine face too 😀

I think that's me with the pink and white striped hat!

Thank you Inky
I'm not just any bandicoot, though, I'm a Bunn's short-tailed bandicoot (Nesokia bunnii) and my nose is less...er..I don't want to offend the other bandicoots, the Southern Browns, the Goldens, the Eastern Barred..so let's say, my nose is less pronounced.

Hmmm ... a bit like a cross between a dormouse and a guinea pig, only with very tiny eyes ...?

....well, I don't know if android wants to have a go at getting an accurate Bunns short-tailed bandicoot, but I think it might be beyond my capabilities at the moment, given the mood the AI has been in this week 😂

Looks quite like a water vole in that picture.

AI really struggles with representing tiny little eyes.

Off for a biscuit in the Bn.teligeut Women’s Pubnb now.

There's an old vegetarian saying about not eating anything that has a face, so I guess that cake is off-limits. It's too scary to eat anyway!

Tbh I'm a bit scared to eat any cake here in case it's Cake. Plenty of biscuits there though.

Looks like Boily has family visiting too!

I don't mind. Just don't make any unkind comments about my rise or bakedness.

...or my soggy bottom 😠

Looks suspiciously like a vole to me, and you know how they carry on (little scamps).

But at least we don't need to worry about an Eastern Barred bandicoot-type genetically engineered mutation

Tell me about it. Boily's lot had one bar, Trixie the toucan's friends flew in & were in another, & there was some sort of moose convention in a third. It was deafening all night long - I could hardly hear myself experiment.

I'll be glad when the holidays are over.

wtf are those toucans on?

Well, I may have experimented on one or two of them...😬

Toucans used to fond of a Guinness or two.

The Guinness toucan is called "Arthur".

Guinness is too wholesome a drink to have that effect, surely?
