29 December 2025 - Daily Drawing Day 363
#20252025Challenge
It's cold tonight. I fancied fish and chips and thought I'd just walk, using the heat to keep my hands warm on the way back home. Alas, when I arrived at the chippie, it was closed until new year.

The 2025 20-25 Challenge.

This year let’s get better at something by finding a little practice time most days, in my case drawing. - Do your activity for at least 25 minutes, at least 25 days per month.
- Use the hashtag #20252025Challenge on social media etc to track your progress
- Also use the hashtag to cheer on others.

That’s about it!

Have fun with your activities, whatever they may be!

Drawing, programming, dancing, cooking, make up, reading, languages, gardening, mastering high fives, sewing, astrophysics, vcr clock setting ...

This really happened. New York Times called a "chippy" or "chip shop" a french fry restaurant.

I've heard some Americanisms in my time, but I think this one is probably the worst and funniest.

What's Cooking?

Our trip to the #fishshop (and #chipshop) the other night…

We ended up buying #fishcakes, steamed #dimsims, a #springroll & the smallest serving of #chips on their menu. ($8 for regular serving!)

They asked if we wanted their soy sauce on the dimmies but we declined.

In the car, in the cup holders, we keep 1 bottle of #WorcestershireSauce & 1 bottle of thick, #sweet #soysauce. 👍

All was edible except the chips, which were tiny & fried into hard shells of nothing. #eatingout

my local chip shop and their audi though.

every time they put their prices up.

me *thinking*: 🤔 times are tough i guess  wait, do they still have their audi parked outside

when they switched to a cheaper cooking oil 🤔

when they're open but won't put the fryer back on just for me because I've only got home at 9pm 🤔

i don't begrudge them an audi considering they must work about 70 hours a week.

otoh, where are they driving? they're open 7 days a week.
