ISUZU MU-X 80K

My Isuzu MU-X clocked up 80,000 Kilometres today. After buying the 2018 ISUZU MU-X LS-M MY18 WAGON brand new in October of that year.

The Odometer

The BFG KO2 tyres fitted in October 2018 I reckon I still got 10 to 20K left.

Home Cooking

With Andrea in hospital for an extended stay recently I took some photos of my sustenance to show how I was suffering.

Venison

The word derives from the Latin venari, meaning to hunt or pursue.

Venison tends to have a finer texture and be leaner than compared to say beef.

A healthy deer has very healthy meat for human consumption as they are inherently wild animals living on grass and wild plants, their meat is higher in moisture and protein.

2024 Spring Clean

This year after 8 years since I worked full time I was inspired by a hilarious TV series on SBS Australia. I decided to shred 22 years of tax files and other documents I kept in yearly folders. 14 garbage bags of recyclable paper later . . . 

The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, a book by Margareta Magnusson, instructs readers how to embrace minimalism. This method for putting things in order helps make the process uplifting rather than overwhelming.

Also the subject of a great series on SBS
