    My attempt at macro phone photography, featuring my dad’s attempt at a pizza oven from many years ago, made from a bathtub he found in hard rubbish.

    At verity I didst finish listening to the audio book of The Night Land and it was weird in a good way.

    The strange language, not modern but not quite old fashioned either makes it feel weird. He also evokes very good mental imagery of the future world, the landscape , the animals that live there and the future society. The sex, apparently in the future there is no religion and no shame .

    Written as a history from the point of view of the main character there is no dialogue.

    So strange. I give it 4 hobbits there and a couple of those tall men and a few of the ugly dangerous men and some of those vicious huge dogs and a giant sluggish monster and a volcano or two and vast desolate rock plains and a bit of a swamp too and a heroes welcome back.

    Time to break out the hot weather jarmies. And strip bed down to sheet and maybe cotton blanket only. And only 2 days ago I needed a hot water bottle. Living in this city sure makes one resilient and adaptable.

    Also time to check windy.com obsessively to guess when the cool change will come.
    Edit: the cool change has reached Warrnambool.

    Alright, I’m getting there. Spent the whole day carefully going through every last drawer and cupboard for stuff to donate. No time for fb marketplace although I could’ve made some decent coin off some of these - especially a couple of vintage bakeware items and an almost new vintage Corningware dish. I got em all for free so some op shop will benefit instead.

    Two carloads later, between those and the remaining plants/pots, and the big shit that won’t fit in the bin, and pillows/towels for the RSPCA - and the tables sold on FBM - that’s a lotta crap gone. Gotta love these Honda hatchbacks with Tardis-like volume and the magic seats 😀

    Now to pack the remaining stuff for the movers to take tomorrow, mainly the kitchen stuff. The end is in sight…!

        It’ll be a different kind of peace for sure… New digs are a lot more hectic and less calm. Main thing is I can settle in and focus on next steps without dealing with current LL’s shittiness or house hunting

        I’m definitely motivated to get to the end of this whole thing

        In an ideal world I would’ve spent a bit more time looking for nicer places, and maybe planned to cull over a longer period and sold more stuff online… but this is also OK! I get to focus on my uni stuff a lot sooner.

        I would aboslutely not have gotten this far without the help of friends, though.

              It’s because there’s other “planets” that are bigger than pluto. There’s debate on both sides so it’s still classed as a dwarf planet for now.

    If you look hard enough at the hero’s of history, you are likely to find some unpleasant things. Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Winston Churchill. I could go on.

    Don’t be delulu about human nature. There’s good and bad in everyone, it’s just a matter of degree and hopefully most of the time there’s more good than bad.

      I love the Dollop podcast - there’s like over 500 episodes now so some are ordinary but it’s amazing to hear the backstory of people. Often those that are held up as heroes are not but there are amazing stories of lesser known people who fought the good fight their whole life. You can’t trust the judgement of history but that doesn’t mean there’s not goodness.

This community is a place created for the people of Melbourne and Victoria. We are a positive, welcoming and inclusive community. We might not agree about everything, but we always strive to stay civil and respectful.

The focus of our discussions is based around things that affect Victoria, but we are also free to discuss our local perspective on wider issues. Or head to the regular Daily Random Discussion thread to talk about anything.
