So a nice thing happened to me. My Nano died suddenly yesterday...couldn't even get it to restore. I mentioned it on Twitter and someone offered me an old one they never use. This is someone I have chatted with on Twitter but have never met. (I think she went to knit night with megan, though.) Coincidentally they live right around the corner from my work, so I picked it up after work. It was so old that she wouldn't take any money for it. So sweet.
I plan to make her cookies as a thank you. But first...French homework.
Well, between ND giving 4 weeks vacation and Sheryl getting a cake, I feel like I am under-appreciated at work this week.
Oh, me too! Although one of my newer co-workers very kindly pulled me into a meeting with a contracting firm, and made it clear she would be happy if they hired me. Since they've done a lot of work for her and she's likely to be the agency lead on the contract, that's really very valuable.
I gave her some of my salted caramels, but seriously I owe her dinner.
That ice was amazing. In the terrifying way but also nature is pretty powerful way. Wish I'd muted though.
I loved the sound of the ice in that video -- wish the audio had been clearer, but there was definitely not only a chug-chug-chug from the waves pushing it onshore but a delicate tinkling from the ice breaking.
Now we know how glaciers get started....
I was amazed at how fast the ice was moving.
It's amazing how a gardening club can be so inept at gardening. Silly rich housewives. After they left, me and boss replanted about 50% of what they planted (how is it a good idea to plant the Christmas Ferns two inches below soil level?!). And they were doing crazy things liking picking up a placed pot from where it should be planted, and putting it elsewhere in the planting bed, and then they or someone else would plant that plant there (as in: in the completely wrong spot) and soon the whole area was planted with plants in the wrong spot.
It's crazy that apparently, like the board, you need a member invite to join. Which just seems incestuous to me. And breeds more stupidity. But, hey, that's 50% less plants we had to plant!
Hey--SodaStreamers--do you flavour by the bottle after you've fizzed? Or do you flavour by the glass or a different container? What are you flavouring with? How long is the bottle acceptably fizzy?
I flavor by the bottle if I am using their syrups (glass bottles that I run through the dishwasher if they've had syrup in them), by the glass if I am using my lime cordial or whatever. I'm pretty sure I have forgotten I had fizzed a bottle and left it screwed shut in the fridge for over a month and had it be acceptably fizzy when I opened it (I keep bottles full of flat water in the fridge so they will be ready to be fizzed on a moment's notice and am generally forgetful, so I get confused about whether a given bottle should be expected to be fizzy or flat), though that bottle was probably unflavored, if that makes a difference.
How big are the glass bottles?
For some reason I thought they were smaller than the plastic ones. No facts, though.
