I am chanelling my Anakin Skywalker 'I hate sand' energy for the non stop wind this week.

Love reading the online catalogues at SLV. The language of certain decades is so well crafted, particularly with advertising:

Melbourne and suburban hotel, guest and boarding house guide and tourist handbook. Date 1928?

Any strange Girl coming to Melbourne can visit the Cafeteria here where meals can be got for a small charge

I took a photo as I was packing up the puzzle carefully for the opshop. You can see I put it away still made up. There were ten panels like this. The picture was the painting "The Quarrel of Oberon and Titania"

Slept in today up to midway and panicked thinking it was getting late.

Wooshed myself out to get a few errands done then back home for lunch and washing just finished.

I’ll be making a coffee after hanging the clothes up and putting my feet up for the rest of the day.

Phew. What a day already!

U earned it. Crack open a tin for me and enjoy a chill night

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 3 points 2 months ago

Already chilling. Just need to decide what to have for dinner.

Playing Just Cause 3 which I’ve never played before. It’s pretty fun just being able to wreck havok.

Going to be watching the AFL W tonight too.

There's an ice cream/lolly shop here called Cones & Candy and that is the most Melton thing ever. No pretence of it being anything but a blatant euphemism for recreational drugs. The Birdcage (the part of Melton the shop is) knows what it is, and it isn't hiding it.

Yes there is much music talk,however, did no one see the baked goods? It’s revelatory.

Ok maybe I’m deprived
