I parked my car in a dubious spot at the station because I was about to miss the train and didn’t have time to circle around. It was one of those spots where either side has parked too close to the line. Why people don’t park properly? Anyway, I hope to get back before those cars have been moved. I have no faith in those line parkers.

I was shown an ad to an electric note device. You write by touch and erase by pressing a single button. Reviews said accidental writing and erasing happened often, and once the battery runs out there's no way to use it anymore. It inspired me to buy this: https://www.kmart.com.au/product/mini-magnetic-draw-board-assorted-43112357
very useful when I want to write 5 words but don't feel like it's important enough for a post-it. No electricity needed, no accidental writing, quarter of the price, and fall damage resistant.
Looks fun. Not every problem needs a Rolls Royce solution. Cheap and simple is often the most environmentally friendly too. A basic white board could also do the trick.
joe sun means good morning in my language
but joe moon doesn’t make sense
Look, I know Coldplay is a bit naff these days, but goddamn I love Parachutes... And also that Fix You song, especially when the guitar riff kicks in.
Scooted along the Yarra from Docklands to Swan St bridge and back then around the marina/New Quay and back home. Did some fancy maneuvering. That was fun. Lots of people out enjoying each other's company.
Hey @[email protected] see how the comments collapse after 300 comments. How can we make that stop?
I should say the replies. My apologies.
I think there might be a bit of a plague of those "pretty white butterflies". Coming back from IKEA and I was startled by how many of them I saw in huge clusters. Most looked like they were trying to get it on too, in pairs.
House to myself for the first time in wks. I watched a movie on loud. 😊
Ok let's play a game.
I am old enough to remember when...........(you fill in the blank. You can have as many goes as you like coz it's Friday and it's hot)
The only eggs in the carton were white. Occasionally there was a brown one, which got left last because it was scary.
I remember when bogong moths were around in huge numbers and would swarm street lights every year.
There used to be lots of cool modernist architecture in the city.
There was very little litter in the streets.
I feel like I'm going to be one of the youngest ones here, but I am old enough to remember when installing things on your computer the window would be full screen and have a blue background.
(I was going to mention dial up, or renting from Video Ezy/Blockbuster, but they're too easy and also my local Blockbuster went out in like 2016 or 2017?)
I remember renting from video shops and if you didn't have your card you couldn't borrow. Then towards the end it was "ah just give us your name and the password and that should do it".
Vodka and the new Rainbow Sherbet flavoured Mother is such a pretty pink! Cheers 🩷

Beautiful morning. Think I will go for a walk in the park. 😊
Speaking of serial killers, if there are any Fincher fans here, “The Killer” premiers on Netflix today.
I have just learned Diwali is on Sunday. I think I will use it as inspiration to put up my new garden lights.
