agreed!

Nothing has encouraged me more to have serious conversations with political fence sitters about what an absolute skid mark Clive Palmer is than the amount of spam I have received from him this week.

that’s the problem - I’m not sure who’s not talking to whom/who is drawing (in)appropriate boundaries. But thank you for your well wishes - much appreciated

Have had a contemplative sunday. Am recovering from surgery, resting in bed, thinking about hiw/why I havent really spoken to my very elderly mother in years. Is this the painkillers talking, or sensibility?

are you in year 12?

I mean, it’s an excellent cafe. The back of house staff are all the same. I’ve also done some digging, and as I suspected, the owners have a bunch of cafes around Melbourne - I think they probably share/rotate staff

There’s a cafe I have been coming to every tuesday morning for months. I dont think I’ve ever seen the same staff more than a few weeks running.

can anyone recommend a genuinely good (jewellry) engraver in the CBD? I used to go to the old dude in port phillip arcade, but he stopped during COVID.

ditto. I took a break one day for “just a bit” and never went back. Have a glass extremely occasionally, but don’t miss it a jot.

seems like the perfect scenario

oh, wow, that’s really comprehensive, thanks!

cheers, will take a look

other than Aussie, anyone got an NBN provider they recommend?

fill them with 300 decisions about food

I got a new dog recently (not a puppy). He is even more stupid than my previous dog, and that says a lot. I didnt know it was possible for a dog to be entirely uncoordinated. Hopeless doesnt begin to describe him.

He is the very best boy.

hey, fellow kids. Been a while. How are we all? I see we are all making serious food decisions…

I eat, on average, a zucchini a day. Love 'em.

good intel, cheers!

yeah, everyone has cubes, which is weird, because a block lasts so much longer. How is one supposed to keep a bathtub full of ice for guests’ drinks over two consecutive scorchers with just cubes?

(NB: that’s not really what I’m doing, but I do need something that will last longer than cubes!)

A question for the hive mind: does anyone know what metro stores (e.g. a servo chain, supermarket etc) reliably sell bags of ice blocks? as in, one big block, not ice cubes?
