Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Does anyone have any proven methods for stopping mosquito bites from itching? A few of them are now massive and I scratched two of them so hard that I bruised the skin beside them.
All this because I put insect repellent on my arms and neck for my zoo based Christmas party but didn’t think about the exposed skin from my ripped jeans and they had a FEAST.
There’s a piezo electric mozzie zapper device which is the same thing as the click-starter on a bbq or gas hot water system. Gas stove’s have them too but they’re often mains powered. If you see an old gas hot water system on the nature strip you can extract the clicker/zapper without tools. Then you zap the mozzie bite to help with the itch. Or, and maybe TMI, zap your partners bits while blindfolded but consenting. It’s a pretty mild zap, as young teens we’d collect them to torment each other.

I did the antihistamine and unfortunately didn’t work. So I’ll have to obtain some calamine lotion instead.
I DO.
But it doesn’t make much sense.
Dig your fingernail into the bite location pretty hard, rotate finger 90 degrees and push in hard again so you’re basically making a little cross right in the middle of the bite.
(clean hands beforehand obviously and chuck a bit of antiseptic on bite after).

So I’ve been looking for a low (er) sugar teriyaki sauce for ages and found this. Taste isn’t too bad. Definitely not the cheapest though. Yes I know I could make my own sauce but I’m too lazy.
It’s fancy schmancy instant noodles with curry sauce again except this time I added some frozen vegan chicken in and added a bit of garnish.
appetising
I’m amazed that I focused on work quite serenely for 8 solid hours today and remembered to take the necessary breaks, etc. Need to see how much time allowance I’ve used up for this project though. Taken way too long on one section so gotta cut back on some others.
I didn’t get to buy myself a present for my birthday this year, but now I have this new role, I’m dreamily browsing for a new piece of music equipment lol and fancy cat trees of course.
Much sauce has been turned into many sauces.
One sauce was also turned in to dinner.
Going by the number of bottles, safe to assume this isn’t your first rodeo with too many sauces. Also, what sauce and how delish is it??
I’m pretty chuffed with myself if I manage three serves of something for the freezer!
