With a return of the sunny weather comes the return of digging. Hopefully a couple of days of not-too-hard work and I will get the rest of the soil moved, then I can focus on planting (and putting out hard rubbish). Next week looks like it might be a bit dreary so I can focus on some cooking for the freezer & preserving. Unfortunately I have to go back to work after that. ☹️

It's going to be interesting seeing the effects of the EV tax precedent on the wider transport sector. Especially as a lot of it is funded by "Access Fees".
For example is it still legal for V/Line to charge a fee for a freight train to use its network?

Heading to Melbourne next week. Any good/big used books stores around? I can travel to where ever around the Melbourne area (staying near Greensborough for reference though)
I love the Book Grocer. They have cheap new, not popular books but they also have second hand books. Northcote would be the closest one to Greensborough.
I'll check them out. Thanks.
The Robinsons bookshop in Greensborough Plaza is fairly decent. Not big, but a step up from those bullshit discount “books for less” shops.
The Savers at Greensborough (near station) usually has a pretty good selection - I've found some gems there. Like a 1st edition of Modesitt's Fall of Angels. Salvos and Brotherhood and Vinnies also does 2nd hand books. Alice's in Rathdowne St Carlton is niche, and pretty exxy. The absolute best is Craddocks in Collins St in the city - huge range but exxy plus. Glorious shop though - worth a visit even if you don't buy.

Ooh The Streets playing at Golden Plains next year! Really hoping for a sideshow seeing as all of my mates have gone off festivals D:
Shout it to the late teen/early 20 something doing the walk of shame at 6am this morning. I saw you but I doubt you saw my smirk so I just wanted you to know I was proud.
I have never understood why that is called the walk of shame and not the walk of triumph. Go you glorious late teen/early 20 something! Live your best life!
