Kitties!

We went down to the RSPCA this afternoon and picked up a kitty. She's 3.5mo old. Born at the shelter itself. Spayed, micro chipped, 1 more vaccination shot left in a fortnight. Named Checkers at the shelter. Dunno if we'll keep it. Cried in the carry box in the car, so we let her out. Purred her brains out on Jana's lap on the way home. Let loose in the house. Running and sliding all over the place, jumping in the air. Super happy kitty. :D

We ended up naming her Pixel because she has a nice square white dot on her lower jaw/lip when looking from the front. What a cute critter.

BUNNY FEET!!

Cooking up a Hello Fresh meal.

We got a trial pack from hellofresh.com.au c/- Mum. They deliver a box to your door with 3x2person meals. (6 meals total).

Lots of goodies inside. Meat in all three meals. Extremely well presented. Well packaged with recyclables at all reasonable options. Super cool single-card instructions for each meal.

Cost-wise, each meal ends up costing about the same as you'd pay at the food-court for any meal-deal. Significantly less than a pub meal. The real value is in trialing some new yummy food, and leaving you with really nice instruction and ingredients lists.

Really yummy meal tonight. Looking forward to the Pizza and Chicken meals next !!

Tiny nail battle axe!

Garrick found a cool video of some guy crafting a tiny battle axe out of nail stock on youtube. So we gave it a shot!! Lots of fun. Note: steel nails are a LOT harder than IRON. Much of the shaping came from grinding in the end. Our pounding techniques mostly made strange pancake shapes. Practice makes perfect I guess...

A few steps are missing from the photos. But the axe head is made from the upper end of a large nail, and the handle is made from a smaller nail with the end riveted (smashed) into the cavity we drilled.
