Catchup because slackness

17 – Ditch New Year's Resolutions Day: Do you make New Year's resolutions?
I don't. I did decide to do these questions  and I'm already behind, so you can probably guess why I don't bother.

Not that any of these require much of an answer.

18 – Thesaurus Day: Do you own a thesaurus?
No. If I need one, and that's rare, I'll look online.

19 – Popcorn Day: Do you like popcorn? What is your favourite topping for popcorn? Or do you prefer it plain?
I loathed it as a child because the local cinema only sold artificially coloured disgustingly sweet stuff which I only tried once. I like it with butter and salt, though I only ever have it at the cinema, and then only sometimes. The stuff you can make at home seems to be imported crap full of palm oil, so nope.

20 – Take a Walk Outdoors Day: Is being outdoors important to you?
Of course. Down the hill are the Oamaru Gardens, and beaches aren't far away. We can also drive to wetland walks further up the valley. At least when it's not so damned windy it's no fun.

21 – International Sweatpants Day: Thanks to Covid, many of us have probably lived in sweatpants for the better part of the last couple of years.
Nope, not me. I don't have any. I do have leggings and other comfortable clothes like cargo pants, but as I've worked from home for over 8 years, nothing actually changed there.

If you can get a bag of plain dried corn kernels (I don't know if your local stores sell it, US stores usually do) you can easily pop the corn in any pan that has a lid. Put some oil in the bottom of the pan, heat it up, cover the bottom of the pan with corn kernels, put on the lid, and keep shaking the pan until you don't hear any more popping noises. No palm oil! You can add your own butter and salt or other seasonings.

Thank you! I'm seeing it at 10 am on January 22 my time, which is the correct date.
