Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Ok the titan arum did not bloom overnight, though it is definitely imminent.
The other thing I learnt yesterday is that there are in fact two titan arums in frame. The tree-like thing circled in yellow on the left is the single leaf of a different specimen that is between flowers.
Edit: New link!
Kick-starting a gravity thread.
I'm grateful for the shade and water.
Back from lunch with a friend.
I had a delicious Katsu Don but they ran out of milk and I couldnโt get a coffee :(
Also a few poles had fallen down on Warrigal road so traffic is heavily congested with 2 of 4 lanes in and outbound blocked.

and tonight a new western series starts on netflix, America Primeval. The last western with a woman as a main character was just awesome, Emily Blunt in The Englishwoman ( which I really really recommend ) . Hoping this is just as good. It should be .
Potentially contentious topic, but where in your opinion is the absolute best place to get a smashed patty beef burger that importantly also does an awesome vego/pescatarian option for my partner that isn't specifically a beyond burger (impossible burger is fine)? Preferably a hidden gem. Must be at a minimum Rockwell and Sons level for quality and creativity. Price is irrelevant as I really want an awesome new smashed burger.
Which area in Melbourne? I think there's a suitable option in inner west which I've had a few times. The patties are "hand pressed", that's the same thing right? And there's a vego option (mushroom) which I've never had but it looks good.
Doesnโt meet your brief, I donโt know of anywhere that would suit. But for a homestyle smash burger you canโt beat the old style fish and chips shops. They were making โsmashโ burgers before they had a name. Patty pressed flat to sizzling on a hot plate, melted cheese on top, get it with the lot. I love this kind of burger more than the American style ones.
