A Lovely 10C Site!

I shall be watching a TV show called "The Ghan" in about ten minutes, it goes for 185 minutes. Here's the blurb from a TV guide:

'An Australian first foray into the 'Slow TV‘ movement. This is an immersive journey on Australia's most iconic railway that reveals - in real time - the stunning topographical vistas and dramatic palette changes from Adelaide to Darwin, while unpacking our indigenous, multicultural and social history in the most surprising way. The train line and subsequent development of
Central Australia and the growth of Darwin, Alice Springs and Port Augusta can be attributed to local indigenous communities' knowledge of surviving the harsh desert, as well as early immigrants, including Europeans, Chinese and the Afghan cameleers “The Ghan” is named after.'

@matigo Japanese Scotch can be world-class.

Off to see if a local branch of a particular retailer still stocks lithium AA cells at $6 per pair. That's a 40% discount.

@matigo Lemsip is a lemon-flavoured hot drink containing 650 mg of paracetamol (an analgesic), and 10 mg phenylephrine hydrochloride (a decongestant) to help to relieve headache, fever, blocked nose, body aches and pains, and a sore throat.

A Twitter contact (also former ADN-user) & I collaborated in thinking up some unlikely cocktail combinations, the best one being the "ginslip" (so called because it's wrong on so many levels) which consisted of gin & Lemsip, aka the gin'n'lemsip.

@kdfrawg So you’re saying you’re not a well man.

@teeg Excellent research! Thanks.

@kdfrawg One canned product I go out of my way to find is Amadeus brand camembert or brie. Open the can and a plain ordinary mold-ripened is revealed. Plus, sometimes Aldi stocks giant Greek-style baked beans that contain mostly beans, with just enough sauce to fill the spaces between.

@teeg I have no idea, I didn't actually witness this.

I think I can see a problem here……
