The car I want to look at is in Moorabbin, so I am going to go a bit early and visit the ocean first. I haven't done that in years 🙂

Solid choice!! Should be beautiful this morning! Maybe a coffee and a stroll of the Mordy pier? (Psst, you posted this in yesterday's thread)

gees, it's pretty quiet here 🙂

and I might go for a walk down the beach 🙂

BEEEEACH. I went for a beach walk yesterday and it was glorious. The water looked absolutely stunning, but unfortunately we took the car that isn't prepacked with towels and swimming gear.

Cardigan I tried on in store from this season: 57% acrylic, 32% polyester, 8% wool, 3% elastane.

Cardigan I saw on Marketplace potentially from last season: 60% acrylic, 30% nylon, 8% wool, 2% elastane.

Chat says the Marketplace one would be softer but the in store one would be more durable because of the polyester?

There’s no way to know without feeling them. Both synthetic and natural fibers come in different grades, eg fine wool vs coarse wool. Also what is the knit or weave like, it affects the feel and drape. Just go with the one you like the colour and style of, because that’s the one you’ll get the most enjoyment out of.

agree

try them on in the store

[–] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 points 4 days ago

Thanks! The one in store was super soft, but didn't come in the colour I like. The marketplace one was from a previous season and is a colour I do like, so I think I'll go with that one :)

Drat Boyo😝! I have my birthday prezzie early again because finding a hiding spot in an entire house and shed is apparently impossible. Would be a useless spy. Now I wanna built Lego and have to work for hours still 😿

observe the person you want to hide something from

put the object where they never go

there are common places, men hide things in their car, often where the spare tire is

women hide things in the laundry, often in the washing powder

Pinch, punch, first day of the month.
