I think I'm going to need extra coffee to get through today. I feel like I lost an hour's sleep last night.

It's not stolen, it's a compulsory savings scheme. It does suck there is no interest paid.

Doing extra is never wasted effort. It might not be necessary for the specific report you are doing, but what you learn creates a much better foundation for your future learning, both within the course and in life in general. The things you will be doing in the future will all build on the knowledge you are gaining now, so the less thorough you are now the more you will struggle in the future.

Attempts to time my afternoon walk between showers were a complete and utter failure, we had to abort early. I was able to take off my wet-wool smelling jumper and am now just a bit damp, but Mr Woof had reached Soggy Doggy status and has been tied into his bathrobe.

That sounds like my old LG steam washer/dryer. The door lock delay was super frustrating and I can't say I ever liked the thing. I ended up going back to a top loader and drying rack and donating the combo unit to an animal rescue.

I made a big banana cake not long ago & have lots of slices still in the freezer. Maybe I can just have banana sandwiches for all meals for a few days?

First day of the free food market in its new location. I don't think Eastland security were impressed by the unruly mob, hopefully they get crowd control sorted out and don't get kicked out. The old location was closer to home, but being under cover is a massive advantage.

My main wish for today was tomatoes, and I got three of those so I'm happy. Also lots of bananas, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all of those.

My brain is no longer braining correctly. If the universe could stop giving me work for a couple of hours that would be great.

Everything with sugar please. Plus some extra sugar on the side.

 

I'm not sure how we're supposed to believe that disposal of nuclear waste won't be a problem when we can't manage systems to properly deal with the waste we are creating now.

 

Open House Melbourne will be held over the weekend of 27 & 28 July this year. The full program is being released on 26 June - tickets sell out fast, so if you are interested in attending any of the events you should book as soon as possible once the tickets are released.

 

"The foundations of our streets

This collection of Melbourne survey maps is a missing piece in the story of Melbourne’s development. They give an account of streetscapes, civic spaces and social development from a pivotal time in our city’s history.Β 

The maps are in archive, waiting to be conserved, catalogued and digitised. They are a treasure trove of history with value for researchers, families and students alike."

 
 

The change of year is always a good time to reflect on the past and plan for the future. I invite everyone to post here with their New Year reflections and resolutions. Next Year I will make another post and link back to this one so we can read our past thoughts and ideas.

You are free to use any format you like, but I would suggest:
What are the major milestones and changes that occured this year (and further back if you like)?
What good things are happening in your life that you would like to keep going?
What would you like to change or add into your life in the future?
What challenges do you expect to arise over the next year, and how do you plan on dealing with them?
