Plans for today (2024)

[karadekoolaid]

Standard seems to be 75g but I'm quite happy with 60g (less calories).

Venezuela is the 3rd biggest consumer of pasta in the world, after Italy and Tunisia. Anyone who served 75 gms of pasta for a meal would have definitely needed to add a meat course as well. A "standard" serving here (and I should point out, it's probably the main dish of the day for many people) is 140-150 gms per person.
We had the cleaner and the gardener here at home today, and I always make them breakfast and lunch. Spag Bol today, basically, with a side salad. 150 gms pasta per person.

I've got no idea what you're telling us, mate. What's a karaka? What's an atm?

The internets say karaka is a tree in NZ. I'm guessing "atm" is "at the moment."

I could get a very nice Prancing Horse on the front of a Ferrari Daytona Spyder for $1.6-million.

Need one of those right now, because my car's ventilator has bust. Can you give me a ride to the supermarket?

Karaka is south of Auckland. Sales facility. Selling yearlings.
Thoroughbreds.
I know a few people up there.

I'm about to water the garden, check citrus trees for caterpillars, then brew a batch of beer

There's a new series of The Motorbike Show which I missed (this prog is not worth your time unless you really like motorbikes) so I started it on catch up yesterday.
In the first episode he visits a biker cafe called Baffle Haus.
This new swanky, clean and hip looking place is only an hour from where I live
Two hours with a stop halfway somewhere warm is the maximum time for an enjoyable cold winter ride and I think I'm recovered enough, so it's on!

I was horrified to discover my beloved r ninet hasn't been ridden for over a year
So insurance has been purchased and fingers are crossed that old petrol has not gummed up my bike, the battery is still alive and the weather in Wales is out of character and it doesn't rain!

Brmm brmm

Now Tasty enough is enough, it is time, get those decs down now.
Don't make me come over there, if I do and those decorations are still up I won't be amused and you won't like me unamused.
Your stern librarian of yesteryear will seem like a mild cup of camomile tea in comparison

Now I’m afraid of getting a paddling…which may make me drag my feet even more!

Seriously, it’s nearly 2:30PM…I might get started on it…
