I've been craving one of those Jarrah coffees but I wasn't prepared to spend $7.50 because I'm a tight-arse. Good news is they are on special for $3.75 this week at Coles if anyone is interested. I got the Brazilian latte. It's not bad.

are they any good?
Yeah I think so. I don't have sugar in my tea and coffee so i can pick up if drinks are overly sweet and this wasn't. It was pleasant. I'd get it again for sure.
Called in at work earlier - the staff member who told me not to test if I didn't have symptoms was a lot more conciliatory. You wonder if someone Had A Word.
In other news, am slowly tackling the books etc. in short bursts. I realised that today it's technically one month since I moved in, thought given the extra day I spent cleaning at the old place it feels more like the following day was The Day.
Heading to Melbourne on Thursday, does anyone know of any good used book stores? I believe the one in Warrandyte is still operating? And I know the one in the city in the basement (which is huge but didnt have anything I was looking for :S)
I'm staying in the Bundoora area but will have a car so travel isn't an issue.
Thanks.
Brunswick Secondhand Books is one I like to go to :)
Thank you :)
There's a really good one in Thornbury, on the 86 tramline. The 86 tramline goes out to Bundoora so you can maybe avoid all the parking hassles by getting on the tram. Name is Fully Booked and is at 824 High St Thornbury. Broad selection of interesting bookies on a variety of topics including some real weirdies. Don't bother with Perimeter Books down the street a little - not a good selection the last time I went in. Already Read at 98 Scotchmer St North Fitzroy is OK if you're looking for fairly mainstream books with a few eclectic selections. It's small but choice, and it's just around the corner from Piedmonte's supermarket (worth a visit too as it's unique). The real gem is Kay Craddock in Collins Street - exxy but an INCREDIBLE selection of books on every possible topic.

I would like to declare that I am now in bed and ready to fall asleep. I will not be responsible for any unnatural occurrences tonight.
Good bacon. I don't want any more of these weird dreams. For the sake of everyone: please sleep tight

So many responsible bed times then thereβs me still up and wired.
Exciting workplace news, we seem to have reached an in-principal agreement on our EBA again (after the previous agreement unravelled a couple of months ago when our employer decided the agreement was different to what the unions and mediator all thought it was). It's still not great financially (thanks govt. for the 3% cap, really helps when inflation has been about 12% since the last pay rise a couple of years ago) but better than nothing. By the time it gets through the drafting and voting procees etc. is will probably be Sept. or Oct. before we actually get anything, but the sign on bonus and about 6 months back pay should make for a nice birthday present this year.
I think itβs my turn tonight to have a poor nights sleep. Iβm tired but wide awake at the same time.
