The great thing about procrastibaking is that at the end of the day when you realise you haven't got any work done, you can console yourself with cake.

This morning my brother found me buzzing around at 7am in the kitchen, nodded knowingly, and said "ah it's your superfan day. That's why you're up early getting all your jars out."
And indeed! The grand opening of the Kirkcaldy branch of Grain and Sustain has arrived!
I got there just after 9 to find it delightfully buzzing, jammed my backpack full of jars of supplies, and had lovely chats with a few local business owners who I bumped into who I also see regularly. Plus the sun was out. I am feeling the love for Fife!

Replacing the smelly carpet with laminate in Dave's room the guest room has escalated into installing insulation under the floor in half the flat. Which is definitely good in the long run by BY GOLLY do I want this disruption to be over.
Replacing the smelly carpet with laminate in my room will, I anticipate, escalate into creating a secret compartment under the floor with a trap door because I think I have 4-5 feet of space down there.. (plus installing under floor insulation in the other half of the flat).

My brother and I are going on an adventure together this weekend. I'm paying for everything, as a goodbye present. With the caveat that if he fails to actually leave, he's refunding it in full.

I'm not usually around when my brother goes for his before-bed snack, but I was last night. Thoughtful of him, as he heads to his room with the last slice of lemon pie on a plate and a fork in his hand, licking his lips, to ask: "is it okay if I have this?" as if it wasn't a foregone conclusion.

I accidentally made seitan the other day. I was trying to make a not-omelette (aka nomelette) and was mixing the equal parts flour and water with all the seasonings and stuff but it was going springy instead of batter-y?! I'd grabbed wheat gluten instead of gram flour. Fortunately it was a totally valid seitan mix so I stuck it in the fridge and started again. Now I'm frying it for a stirfry and it's super. Good job, past me.

I haven't done a week in review since like May but REST ASSURED I'm keeping notes in a text file and I will flood you with all of them at some point. I'm behind on photo logging and like to link to stuff from the WiR, is why.

I am beyond excited that my fave independent zero waste shop Grain & Sustain is coming to Kirkcaldy, and bringing a vegan deli with them!
And I'm thrilled that my local coffee bean supplier Ecobean is getting recognition for having a completely closed-loop zero waste thing going on as well.

Me: ugh why didn't the last people who painted this room bother to tape up the edges, it's so messy.
Also me: fuuuuuuu- taping up all the edges before painting is so much work, is this really necesssary?

I have absolute dream neighbours. Last time I left my washing in the communal washing machine all day, I came back to find it neatly folded on the side, after someone had taken it out of the washing machine, put it in the dryer, then taken it out of the dyer too.

This weekend's bathroom refurbishment jobs include the ceiling, and sealing. My Dad and I have found ourselves talking past each other more than once.

Little caterpillars in my kale, your clever camouflage somewhat backfires when you're hiding from someone who only tries to find you in order to not eat you.

I have too many emails. Thunderbird is refusing to accept more. So I guess that's it. No more email for me. I accept the situation.

I shaved my head again last week and now all I see when I see my shadow is:

First vandalism of my garden yesterday. Someone tried to yank off some rhubarb. They failed, but partly detached the stem and wrecked the leaf.
