Soooo when a road that people live on gets closed for roadworks, are they meant to like... tell the people that live on it? Because the first I'm hearing of them ripping up and repaving our road is when they parked a gigantic machine in front of our driveway at 7am that's making an absolute shit ton of noise. The housemate has a car that nobody told him he wouldn't be able to take out of the driveway either...

It's not on VicTraffic, they never put anything in our letterbox, and the council's project construction page says nothing's happening in the area

My pavement gets ripped up seemly every 2 months. Sometimes it’s gas, sometimes telecoms, sometimes fixing the mess the last lot made. Never any notice and they block the only way out of the building.

I usually get a letter telling me they're doing road works of some sort in my area. I can't remember who they came from though.

Last time I got a letter. From council I think? They're responsible for local roads. And then the planned date came and went, and they came and closed the road on a completely different date with no notice. I guess they kind of tried?

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago

I had a letter posted about works that were nowhere near me, so disregarded it. Then I got a hastily hand addressed notice in my letterbox telling me about work starting the next day, so I think they stuffed up the address.

I haven't always been notified of work in the street where they are closing the roads, but they generally haven't completely blocked access, I've still been able to drive in and out with supervision (to make sure I don't run over the workers!). I did have to park a few houses away temporarily once when they did block access for a bit, but the workers were very friendly and helped me carry my groceries home 😁

One person won the 150 mil, and still went to work today! I would have stopped working immediately. Call in the morning, sorry I’m rich now bye. Actually, an email.

Just had the MMJ convo with a Candor doc. Got prescribed some strains. Asked for three to be passed to TGA for approval.

Curious to hear about your experience. My appointment with Dr Bhangoo is on Monday morning, not sure what to expect.

I binged Fallout in 2 nights. I’ve never played the game so I have no comments on its authenticity, but it was a fun escapist watch. Built up the mystery in each episode to keep me clicking Next Episode.

Pretty sure I'm meant to be working hard, I have a lot of things to do, but instead I'm just aimlessly staring out the window or refreshing my feeds. It's been a long week.

Let's talk snacks. My favourite quick snacks:

Hot pockets
Sao, butter, tomato, cheese, p&s Jatz/topz/ritz/savoy/ butter, Salmon & lobster spread/anchovette spread/Vegemite
Jatz/topz/ritz/savoy/ butter sardines
Jattz/topz/ritz/savoy butter and pate
Cruskits butter, smoked salmon, cucumber, sour cream, fish roe.
Popcorn

I'm sure there's more. Can't think right now. What's your favourites?

[–] SituationCake@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago

I’m basic and lazy. For meals I like to put effort in, but snacks need to be instant. Fruit, slice of cheese, nuts, crackers, biscuits. If I’m feeling particularly energetic I might have a carrot with some dip. But I don’t faff around with making carrot sticks, just slice on the diagonal and dip in. I actually think it’s better slicing like this because more surface area to scoop the dip.

Bit bummed that covid means I've had to give away my ticket to the Arsenal women's game tonight. Boo.
