Enjoy the lovely weather today ☀
Ended up making the trip in with my kids to listen from the park. Was worth it (kids thought it was awesome) - I’d say probably 15k people outside…
And this guy - just grooving from the back
6th night without power. I’m so over it. Anxious AF.
@Reonn @CEOofmyhouse56 crap, what area are you in? I checked the outages list and it was still huge yesterday. I’m in a rural area that gets regular outages, but they are usually resolved within about 12 hours. But the amount of trees down, damaged or basically exploded on the drive out from the city today was… exceptional. I’m not surprised it’s taking them quite a while to rectify all the issues.
Sounds awful. Hang in there, they are working on it. The damage was so extensive and there’s only so many repair crews. Are you able to stay with someone overnight to get a break from it?
Farken hell. Did they at least set a vera up?
How come? That seems like a rather long time to be without power.
You are right, it IS a long time. Things are more complicated up in the hills. Too many trees.

Bloody got a blood nose on the bus. Nobody around. I apparently forgot to add tissues and wipes to my gigantic backpack of pretty much everything else you could want or need. Managed to get it under control with a head tilt though, but my face and hands didn’t fare to well without tissues. Ended up having to clean my hands and face with a letter I forgot to take out of my bag last week. Absolutely looked like a crackhead in the process.
Finally got off at a train station and started trying to properly clean it and apparently bumped my nose a bit too much so the whole thing started again. No fucking toilet paper. Sink that’s permanently stuck on really hot for some reason. I heard a line forming and ended up hobbling down to the customer service desk holding my nose and asked the PSOs for some tissues, they didn’t have any but said there was a better toilet down the end of that platform which did have toilet paper. Managed to get it under control but what a wild adventure. Also stole some toilet paper should my nose break on the way back

Back from the other side of the city. As soon as I was on Chapel St waiting for tram, some middle aged lady asked me from a ciggie. Every time I’m there, which isn’t often, I get asked for a smoke without fail.
Every street and suburb in Melbourne has a culture; I love this city.
Ow can oi botta ciggie off ya ploise luv? Ta. And a loight?
Oi anychance I can bum a durry off youse too please.
It’s not for me it’s for me mate daz.
On a train. There is an over abundance of short shiny dresses and facial glitter. Must be a Spice Girl around somewhere.
Please count how many times the word literally you hear and report back.
I’ve asked the man to keep it down out there while he mows because I’m about to have a nap. AITA.
YTA. Nap at a reasonable hour. Sunday afternoon is for chores
Please consult local council guidelines regarding noise disturbances in your area
NTA. Naps are permitted at any time of the day.
Mildly peeved that the bus driver blew right past the stop I was at, ignoring everyone who was waiting there. Had to wait half an hour for the next one.
But got some fudge, and found out that the brand I usually get shut up shop some months ago.
It’s been one of those ripple days, where everything seems to be going up and down all at once.
Also anyone know any good place to look into getting a second hand bike (and a good place to ride in)? My current one is a bit knackered, and wondering whether it was worthwhile fixing it, or just replacing it completely.
I’m familiar with the bike shed at Ceres, but that’s about it.
Busses are the vehicles of chaos, I love and hate them. The worst was the one from Glen Waverley to FTG/Rowville I used to take; it would go through Wheelers Hill along FTG Road down that huge fkn hill like a goddamn speed demon. It was like a fkn roller coaster, the bus driver would blow past the stop halfway down the hille everytime because they were going so fast.
I think about it and my heart starts beating real hard haha
To do list for tomorrow (putting it here so I am obligated to follow-through):
- Call Tafe and finish up enrolment
- speak to GP for new BC script
- eat lunch (important!!)
- play with/nap with cat
Cat tax?
just for you
That’s one smug kitty.
Maybe this a QLD school thing but does anyone remember having to learn to dance in high school? Like you’d learn the waltz and one other dance (mine was the cha cha) and then to pass you had to dance with the sports teacher (male teacher for the girls, female sport teacher for the boys).
Friend of mine just gave me a wild flashback to that part of my schooling, and adult me is thinking how fkn wild it was you had to get handsy with a teacher for a few minutes in the name of education.
God no. Didn’t even do dance in high school.
It was a mandatory part of year 8/9 Phys Ed (usually somewhere in semester 1), you couldn’t attend the mid-year school dance if you didn’t pass.
Yep. Only I went to a girls only boarding school, so we had to practice with mops/brooms in lieu of real meat boys. It was an hour of practice after classes twice a week in year 11. Dances were waltz, foxtrot, cha cha and some old time folk dances like the Pride of Erin, Dashing White Sergeant and Waves of Bondi. The idea was to be able to do the ‘social’ dancing of our grandmothers’ generation. Rock&roll and disco were off the menu.
Meat boys 😹😹😹
God forbid that anything male should pass through its hallowed portals.
Had that at my high school for sure.
That sounds hilarious. The only dance I learned in school PE was the nut bush.
Two stunning afternoons up in the hills and watched a House episode where a guy had his hand amputated.
Man, I have never been more grateful for my hands. Like I felt so so so unbelievably overwhelmed with gratitude it was kind of surreal.
Hope everyone has had an awesome weekend!
hugs
I generally see every superhero movie on either the day it’s released or even the night before if that’s available (yes even Morbius), but I think I might just not go see Madame Web. It’s not like I don’t have the time or the money. I just don’t have the urge. I think there might be something about Dakota Johnson which just rubs me the wrong way. That and after watching the trailer I feel like I can put the pieces of the movie together myself.
Has anyone here seen it and care to give non-spoilery thoughts?
The trailer put me off in a big way. I think it’s going to become another meme.
Some sad news. A neighbour found the corpse of Mr Magpie. He and Mrs Magpie lived in the big gum tree in the roundabout at the end of the street and raised several families there. Presumably the hot windy day last week knocked him off his perch.
However, in slightly more cheerful news, Mrs Magpie fronted up for feeding time at another neighbour’s place this morning, bringing another Mrs Magpie with her. Very very Thornbury.😢
I’m out adventuring and listening to my audiobook. Embrace the majesty of the mighty vanilla slice. Also, this is the very first photo I’ve taken with this new phone (loaned from Microsoft).
I’ve spent all day inside resting with Puddington Bear. Feeling pretty ordinary and so is she. Both of us are going to the vet this week
hugs , hope you both feel more than ordinary soon
Thanks. Hopefully we don’t get mixed up and I don’t get the cat flu shots
