Today I have mainly been V5.0 (Part 3)

Today Donna and I had a romantic trip to Costco.
First up was this lovely ring Donna found for me to buy her for Christmas……


I met another husband who had obviously been in there a while.

Found food for the month.

And some fruit, what the hell is Dragon Fruit?!

And a game for after tea.

Do you remember how much the Streetfighter table top was?

I think it was around £130 quid.

You should have tried the Dragon Fruit, BTW. Best description is a cross between a pear and kiwi, it’s quite good (if you’re a fruit eater)

I was certainly tempted, next time now I know :+1:.

Today I have been mostly assembling one of these for the kitchen:

The instructions would make 1970s MFI blush, they are just so painfully RONG, and of course all hidden edges are sharp enough to shave with, and to make life REALLY fucking tedious all external surfaces are covered in a “protective” film that’s as thin and fragile as it insanely adhesive… :rage:

Got another one of the cunts to do tomorrow…

Is it an updated version of the ‘70s game show classic hostess trolley ?

Lepiota (now Chlorophyllum) rhacodes - the shaggy parasol mushroom, cap yet to open.

They seem to have a selective (mild) toxicity to which some people are immune (I can eat them), and others not (gutache/diarhoea).

Their close-ish relative, the parasol mushroom (Macrolepiota procera), is delicious, but seems to have become scarce in the places i used to find it :frowning:

Freestanding kitchen cupboard. 2nd one only took 4 hours and some rubber-mallet work… :confounded: Serves me right buying cheap chinese shite.

Assembly about an hour, peeling THAT FUCKING PLASTIC off - 3 hours.

Some of that time was spent crying.

Astoundingly, they come with a set of white cotton gloves!

I’d be twisting gently in the breeze by now if I’d tried to do this with them on…
