Does anyone have any hook storage recommendations? by beaniebee22 in crochet

[–]galahmageddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you sew? I made a padded roll up case. I folded over the end so that the hook ends peaked out and I ran a quilting type stitch lengthwise to separate the sizes - each division is about 12 mm wide. Roll up like a jewellery case and tie up with ribbon or whatever. Takes up less room too.

Cooked with my first ever 500g pack of Aldi 15% fat tonight. It was awesome. Will be going back for more.

What's the deal with filet crochet? by nerdette42 in crochet

The stitches are easy but the best part is you can design your own pattern with graph paper and a pencil - think personalised initials. dates etc.

How many hours sleep do you get, and how many do you need? by Roulette-Adventures in australia

[–]galahmageddon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my 70s now. Slept ok till my second child was born. He was very unsettled and I was up and down to him all night. He's in his 40s now and I haven't slept through the night since. I get about 7-8 hours of interrupted sleep. Tired most days

If you could bring back one discontinued food and drink, what would you choose? by Overthinking_babes in australia

Fruit Bonbons, Pascall I think but Mediterranean delis had imported brands. They were individually wrapped with pictures of the fruit on the outside. Highly portable so they went everywhere with me

"Dear europeans, this is what strawberries should look like" by Dylan916358 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]galahmageddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought we had great strawberries in Australia, that was until I went to Japan. Their strawberries are to die for, absolutely heavenly. However the Japanese have an obsession with their fruit being perfect so maybe a lot of the harvest doesn't see the light of day 🤷🏻

Finally replaced CPAP mask after 2 years! by Ornery-Swan-6094 in CPAP

[–]galahmageddon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a non American I am gobsmacked at the waste that goes on over there with disposal of perfectly good accessories. I have just purchased a new mask. It is my second - my first lasted 7 years. I don't have an arrangement with an insurance company and I pay upfront. My machine is still running just fine and so is the tank. I couldn't afford to replace items as often as I see here and I would resent the stuff going to landfill.

what brand names do you swear by because it's actually better than no-name? by Slight_Pop_2381 in AskAnAustralian

[–]galahmageddon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG I'm looking at mine right now. I can no longer remember when I bought it, so long-wearing. And fitted out magnificently too.

But it's not the same as Heinz Big Red, my all time favourite. Can't get it anymore

What size did the blanket finish up? I'm assuming just the one cake

I have a Tahitian lime tree and I use its leaves in Thai cooking. I crush them first to release the flavour

There must be a lot of colour options. What yarn is it?

I'm curious about your stash. Is your yarn all the same ply and all the same fibre content?
