House guest put my chefs knife back without drying it first (or cleaning it properly). Now I have rust on my knife and rust on my magnetic knive strip where I keep them. Even when he's gone, I keep finding gifts... I promise I will get over this, I just have to process.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

Ooft, twice I've had my good frying pan ruined by a friend while staying at my flat for cat-sitting. I was about to write that if I'd have someone stay over now while I was away I'd hide all the good pans and utensils, but tbh I wouldn't let anyone stay in the flat anymore without us around.

A fairly good day today, shame that the weather was cold and windy and grey though. We went cycling with the SO, rode through a forest where there are nice sand/gravel roads just perfect for riding. Stopped at a lean-to shelter for a coffee. I'm glad we have these areas nearby, it's the best to brew a good cup of coffee in the nature! Also that particular area is my favorite place to go for a couple-hour ride.

After coming back we cooked a nice dinner and watched a movie. Feeling a little bit sad that our mini-holiday is now over.
