    Want to try it together Mellor?? The off-booze month, not the wine dispenser :) I could do with the moral support.

    ON TOPIC:
    Didn't realise that you could happily freeze orange zest. Will last up to 3 months. Great way to always have it on hand for baking.

    Also, frozen rosemary is WAY easier to pluck off the branch than fresh.

    I prefer my own solution: tie a thin black shoestring between the two ear loops, and put it over your crown :D

    Works for non-glasses wearers too

    My own solution was to get a strap off safety glasses (as below) and sewed them to my reusable masks. They have a little toggle on them, and although it can look like a top knot it makes them really comfortable to wear.

    That reminds me, have you ever seen the tiny Japanese apartment with all the hidden furniture that folds away? I must have a look and see if I can find a link to it, it's the coolest thing ever.

    On a smaller scale, I stole this from from Cool Gifs:

    I slept in several capsule hotels while I was touring Japan... they had everything you'd ever need within reach while lying down and fold away after. Surprisingly comfortable and efficient!

    Ireland needs to embrace furniture-less rentals. That way life hackers like us can embrace multi-use furniture.

    I'd design and build a coffee table that converts into a dining table.

    This was something else, it was something like a 22sqm flat where the owner (who had lived there since his childhood with his whole family, 4 or 5 people, I think) renovated the place by building a moveable wall with build-in hidden furniture - it was something like 10 or 12 rooms in one and counting. I'm still looking for a link. Back in a while.

    If thats a lifehack then so is this:

    If you need a comfortable place to stand your laptop here is a free solution: place your laptop, on your lap. This gives you easy access to the keys, touchpad, and you can see the screen!

    Not really the same... this is a cheap replacement for a device that normally costs €30 or something.

    It's about using everyday objects to solve problems that they weren't originally created to solve.

    Except that your lap can block the vents and cause said laptop to overheat. It's one of the reasons they started calling them notepads, etc.

    So how does placing a laptop onto a pizza box not block the vents?
