Melbourne

The cats are complaining it's cold outside like I can do something about it

Melbourne, why so cold?!
Anything fun on in the city today? We have some time to explore on foot, assuming we don't freeze.

... I'll ruminate
On the state
Of my mind
And I find
That it's all in my head
So instead...

What a weird system. Went to the post office to have my mail held. What an annoying little system the post office has. They need 3 full business days notice, so it wouldn't start until the day before I get back. Then he said he couldn't give me the concession rate because I need a concession card. I showed him my concession card and then he said his system doesn't allow concessions for people under 18...

Ended up not bothering with it. I'm just gonna hope my mail doesn't go missing

I honestly thought the mail would be held at the local post office, but apparently they hold it at the sorting facilities

Too damn early crew checking in 👊🏻

i am medicated and in bed

whatever happens overnight is not my fault

Anyone else obsessed with Royal Autopsy? They make some leaps I think are a bit big, but the demo models are amazing. Best historical in ages.

Lemsip is not as bad as I thought it would be.

I hate that today was one of my 6:30am wakeup days, it was torture getting out of bed.

It can't be that cold, I'm only wearing two layers!*

* one is an 800-fill down jacket that is normally overkill for Melbourne

It's so cold my finger is getting sore from typing on my phone screen

One good thing about these mid winter days is that the angle of the Sun is perfect for streaming into my kitchen windows. It warms it up plus is a mood lifter.

Okay, I signed up specifically to ask this question...

Does anyone have recommendations for a travel debit card please? Need mostly GBP & EUR for this trip, but there's a couple other European currencies too.

From what I've researched, the Wise & Up Bank cards are coming up a bit, and the Macquarie one is too. I have an account with Macquarie already, but anything else I'd have to open a new account, which I'm not against for the best option.

TV review. Daybreak. Netflix. A bargain basement Ferris Bueller living in Los Angeles survives nuclear war . For a show like this to have any chance of working it has to be believable. Sorry but Glendale would be evaporated and those in the outmost suburbs of LA would sicken from radiation poisoning. If the premise is a weird guy in a normal world then the normal world has to be consistent and believable. Maybe if they lived in a teeny tiny town out in the desert they might have survived. Not even Matthew Broderick reprising Ben Stein's persona as a boring and slightly obsessive principal could save this show.

Compare to Fallout.

This show was so dismissive of the facts of nuclear war it upset me.

Goosebumps movie. Gees I loved this. So inventive it's a delight.

Got my compression gloves and hoodie on while working from home. It's surprisingly cozy.

Also, the code in the thread title is wrong. It's BA not AB.
