An old Star Trek joke
Oct. 26th, 2025 09:34 pmQ: How many Vulcans are needed to change a lightbulb?
A: Two. One who changes the lightbulb and one who asks what's so funny about it.
Q: How many Romulans are needed to change a lightbulb?
A: 145. One who changes the lightbulb and 144 to restore the honour of the ship.
Me, I managed to change the lightbulb in the bathroom alone. Go me!
It's funny with these new, environment-friendly, energy-saving bulbs. The old ones simply burned out and went dark. These new ones loose luminosity gradually until all they can produce is a dim glow. Last night the bathroom had the atmosphere of some horror movie. *g*
Other than saving the honour of our ship, I went to Lidl today and actually found some Belbake orange peels. The lemon peels were already sold out for the time being; I hope they'll restock eventually because I need these things, big time. They are only available around Christmas (apparently, the end of October counts as pre-Christmas time now), but I use them all year long for baking. So, fingers crossed for the restocking.
We also had laundry day, postponed from yesterday when we weren't at home. Fortunately, I didn't need to cook: H. had packed us a good chunk of her yummy cheesecake, which we ate after a lunch of instant soup and sandwiches with our coffee. I made the labels for the ginger syrup bottles and for the spicy vinegar; all I'll have to do is to glue them on, once the vinegar has rested four weeks and is transferred to the bottles.
Other than that I spent the rest of the day lazing around, watching stupid YouTube vids and watching some telly. Oh, and I started emptying the balcony, as tomorrow there will be cleaning.
