Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
One of my friends from work finally gave me some good news.
Her daughter who went holidaying in Israel finally made it back home to Melbourne after being distraught at the situation and having multiple flights canceled trying to get out of the country.
She sent me a photo of them hugging each other at the airport after landing this morning.
So happy for her and relieved.
That’s fantastic
Had a visitor (or 2, one not pictured)
I swear they’re the same ones that’ve been going at that lawn for years and years now.
Doing that thing where I have a big life change coming so everything is being clean, rearranged, and then cleaned again. My pc/desk has never looked so good though, the glass panel is bordering on mirror status.
This is a wonderful morning for some buttery French toast.
Made by someone else.
Brought to my bed.
I got an invite to the NGV Gala.🙌
Fancy! That looks like heaps of fun!
Yeah should be a good one!
Do report back - I’m interested to hear what it’s like :-)
I’ve just made a pot of tea. I would share, but I do in fact need all of the tea
After last night, in verray truth. Please feel free to have a second pot if this is required. I can vouch for the effectiveness of choc chip cookies if energy levels flag mid-morning.
I’m of a similar mind with the tim tams I just bought. His Lordship shall have to content himself with the high tea assortment

Oh Melbourne. One day of beautiful weather, next day pissing down. You’re a little tease, you are.
I guess my bins will have to stay out in the street today after being picked up.
Can’t wait to see what’s in store for tomorrow and the weekend.
Thank God I got voting and petrol filling out of the way, but I have to drive to pick up something tomorrow, ugh.
I did 2 workouts today. One yoga and one cardio. Every time I do cardio it gets easier and easier and recovery doesn’t take as long. I’m gonna start incorporating strength training a little bit more now. I’m 10 minutes away from earning a garmin challenge badge. I feel good. That’s all.
I am seriously considering making some chocolate pudding and custard, but am currently trapped under a cat so cannot move. This is a dilemma.
Edit: apparently Miss Meow thinks I should make the pudding, as soon as I hit send she got up to have another round of dinner.
Edit 2: custard made, pudding in oven. Dessert night is Go
Fucking woo, Boyo is employed again. A few more days of the pacing panther to deal with but hooray!
I’ve finally given in and ordered an air fryer. If I do not get crisper potatoes than my small convection oven I shall be most displeased.
We took ours camping recently. Had perfect roast chicken in camping chairs in front of the fire one night - was glorious.
I have visions of little air fryer sitting in a chair by the campfire
Nice. Portability was one factor in my decision. I’m planning on taking this up to my parent’s place for Christmas to do the potatoes, as oven space tends to be at a premium.
I have a convection oven and they definitely come out crispier in the airfryer. What did you get?
Noice.
You shall certainly get them faster
For the heck of it I’ve started binging ST:DS9
Love me so 90s sci-fi cheese.
of all the treks, DS9 has held up the best. Plus you get Garak
Simply Garak, is it not?
plain and simple Garak
I’m nearly at the end of S2. Loving it! Are you gonna do SG1 after this?
Might do. Never got into it when it first aired…but can.
It’s really very excellent. I love when the Russians join the program. Gets me all nostalgic for a time when relations between the Russians and Americans were cordial.
DS9 is so cool, it’s more sf than the other STs
Fuck.
hello darkness my old friend
Really missing having a warm cuddly cat right about now
Beautiful rainbow out to the east of Thornbury - one end appears to be anchored to the South Preston Woollies. Which seems suspiciously appropriate.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen an actual leprechaun there…
