Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
What has to happen for the US dollar to go back to that amazing 1:1 we had like 15 years ago. They were good times.
No idea but those were the days where importing stuff was sooo much cheaper than buying locally even with shipping included.

omg, vocal fry is all the rage on hip tv series . I suppose it’s easier than real acting. ( wheel of time )
And why are these shows so sadistic?
Because the book was? Robert Jordan didn’t cut corners when it came to describing how cruelly the Seanchan treated female channellers.
Some myna birds have built a nest in my passion fruit vine which is right beside my clothes line. For the last 3 days I’ve been hanging out my laundry and they have been swooping me and clicking their angry little birdie noises.
I have a good relationship with the local magpies. They don’t swoop us.
But these mynas are annoying. I’ll leave them alone but I’m looking forward to them moving on.
Are they grey mynas or brown mynas? The grey ones are native, but the brown ones are introduced and are pests.
Grey. They have never nested so close to the house until now (been here over 15yrs).
Had one nest in a tree right beside my letter box, at the top of my driveway, but didn’t get swooped once. The birds seem to have left that nest last week.
I’m fairly sure they’ll move along once the chicks are fully airborne.
Someone here wrote asking us where we would go on holiday if we could go anywhere.
I’ve been thinking. Right now two weeks at Sanibal beach would be nice. Just doing nothing except go for long walks and collect shells. maybe the second week go fishing with Mr Seagoon.
At a later time when I’m not so tired a few weeks in Egypt would be nice, or Venice.
Buenos Aires and then on to Las Leñas ski resort and then back to Buenos Aires for a bit more exploring. Yes.
Why Buenos Aires?

I wonder where I’d go if I had the opportunity to go anywhere. More than likely I’d spend a long time thinking about it and the offer would expire 😂
some nice early morning reading https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/148456/escape-velocity-to-leave-the-water-planet-in-the-movie-interstellar
Next up, are the waves on the water planet possible?
Maybe I should read the book, eh
What’s the undersea surface topography like? If uneven, waves are possible.
the big waves/tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the close by black hole
otherwise 🤷♀️

Breakfast of cereal done and a cup of coffee. Had my sun for a bit this morning.
Taking refuge inside now and try and distract myself for the day and relax and clear my mind.
Though clearing my mind seems to be the hardest part.
I opened a roll of Devon for some unknown reason the other night.
Not sure if I should use it for something other than sandwiches.

It’s mine, all mine!
Chop finely and use instead of mince in a lasagne maybe? Dice and add to ramen. Slice finely and layer in a casserole with sliced veg and some hawt sauce to moisten and a mashed potato lid on the dish. Freeze the remaining hunk of devon until you get inspired.
Good ideas there. I’ll keep them in mind but might be using the ramen one soon!
You could dice it up and put it with rice or pasta.
I was thinking something along those lines.
I’m not sure if I should use a bottle of pasta sauce with it or just go Devon by itself.
Also was almost toying with throwing the Devon into some curry bottles I have.
Just treat Devon like ham and you’ll be right.
Good point actually. I’ll think about it since I got a bit of time.
Aaand the photographer rocked up 2 hours early, and apparently the brides make up artist is an hour late aaand we’ve the booked the cab too late even though it’s going to be early.
Fuck this noise if I meet the right someone it’s just going to be at the BDM and take about 5 minutes.
Run, you’re about to get put on makeup duty
He did a great job with the flowers, can’t wait to see how he goes with the brides make up!
Hooray bros wedding went well.
Nice venue, nice people, good night, no mishaps.
Love it when a plan comes together! Congratulations to them both. Was the champagne flowing?
It really worked! The booze was flowing. Was fun to see.
Oooh bro’s big wedding day. Did the flowers make it through the night in the venues cold room?
Just dropped last night that they’re coming around for photos in the garden (!) and need nibbles heh. Honestly this better be the last surprise.
heh yep you called it!
If they ever announce they’re having kids, draft up a watertight contract/t&c document asap before you become their defacto dad. Maybe try and wangle it so that they have the screaming toddler and you get to keep bboi butters.
I knew we were on to something!

What do they think you are? A 7-11. Flowers, nibbles you’re going to be asked for petrol soon. Anyway enjoy your day. Make sure you eat your body weight in food. Get your moneys worth.
I have finally decided due to seeing the best by dates of some of my sauces that it’s butter chicken curry with Devon and veggies inside served either with rice or pasta.
Righty ho, plan of attack needed for today (to avoid accidentally playing video games all day, again).
Dog walk then an omlette for breakfast. Assignment due today to be finished, with as little angst as possible. Depending on how much time I waste agonising over the assignment I will hopefully have time to make a start on digging up new garden bed #2. Salad for lunch. Dog food to be mixed & divided for the freezer. Change the bed sheets. Pork roast for dinner.
This is doable. Tomorrow I can sow some more seeds, and plant out the spinach and lettuce seedlings.
some kitty and pupper cuteness for you all
This is much too colour coordinated to be reality
🤣
Assignment update: need more coffee
Edit: coffee aquired. Unfortunately it refuses to write my assignment for me and I still need to do it myself.
If only coffee was so wondrous it could do that.
It can do a lot of things but sadly not that :(
Unless you fall into a coffee hysteria and start getting the jitters.
I have fallen in to the too much coffee trap before, and only allow myself more than my initial morning dose in exceptional circumstances. Fortunately the extra jitteryness of the caffeine seems to have worked and I managed to plough through the rest of the assignment. I might do a quick review before I submit it this evening, but I can now relax. Just in time for my next subject to start tomorrow!
