Lovely ankylosaurus. Thagomizer complete or nearly too. One of my neighbours has a similar stegosaurus in their front garden. It moves around from time to time eating the plants.

Seems to be really popular.
If it were me w/ young kids I'd hit up the thomas the tank engine, then skip queenscliff, head to point lonsdale, fish n' chips place opposite the new playground (also very popular w/ kiddos), and if you time it right w/ the tide and weather the rockpools and war bunkers near the lighthouse (also extremely popular w/ kiddos). Queenscliff itself is a bit boring for kids.

Didn't turn the stove off properly? And it's old enough to not have the magic valve

5
melbaboutown - 3w
Itโs none of my biz and I hope Iโm not being intrusiveโฆ but would it be an option to buy an electric hotplate and/or an electric frying pan that can switch off at the wall rather than use the stove?
And maybe buy a portable โtravelโ carbon monoxide detector?
The idea of no safety valve on a gas stove is just haunting me.
(For context I still get para about mine with safety features and freak if I bump the dials. And Iโve had to handle an undetected gas leak before)

Thank you for your concern. I do already own a plug in induction plate. This was total human clumsiness, and not bad enough to set off the detectors, just our noses.

This is for Gibson, you should definitely go all out. At least two rolls of toilet paper wrapped around the tree, and another to make a nest at the base of the tree. And all presents under the tree should be appropriately sized open boxes for sitting in.

Question for the cooks out there on thread: is it possible to make a turkish soup with absolutely no garlic in it? Or other spices? My lovely next door neighbour heard I was a bit under the weather and brought round a whole of pot of it. I love her dearly but dat soup was not turkish. She did do a good job with the flatbread though.

Is she Turkish? If yes, the soup was definitely Turkish.

Nope. Irish. Hence the good flatbread, but no flavour to the soup.

This calcium supplement is genuinely making me sick. The other one years ago didnโt do that at all? None of the reviews for this kind mention anything? ๐คจ
I think I need to use my own judgment and rebuy the old brand to try it out. Even if itโs not the one the doctor recommended itโs better than not taking any at all.
1
TheWitchofThornbury2 - 3w
I've found this with some vitamin D pills - they make me sick to my stomach. The casings were those gel ones. The uncased ones that can be divided are no problem. Dunno what kind of pill you're taking but maybe change to the other sort.
2
melbaboutown - 3w
Theyโre huge white scored horse pill tablets. (Rather than capsules.) Cal-600. They tasted weird and made me feel sick before but when I snapped them in half for easier swallowing they made me really ill.
I looked it up and thatโs a known side effect of calcium but that never happened with the Caltrate. Youโre right, Iโm hoping the other one works

I also took a nice pic of a fisherman's pier.
