Scooter rider minority.

The day before, I had to squeeze a car around a scooter that was parked in the middle of the road of a laneway).

And yesterday a Mercedes almost collected one when the rider blew a red light.

On reflection.. scootering to DFO South wasn't my best decision-making.

I was thinking of growing a mango tree. What is the best kind of mango?

Perfect running weather for me being an overheater. Just need a way to stop the water running down into my eyes.... Would a sweat band work if there's water coming from everywhere? PB by 3 seconds. Doggo now dry and donut-ted on his bed.

Thinking of moving to Melbourne soon, can anyone give me a rundown of what it's like to rent there?

[โ€“] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago

Ha ha ha ...... Best of luck! You'll need it. Also get on the reddit r/melbourne sub - plenty of comments on rentals there.
Seriously, I haven't rented since 2018, but the current situation varies between appalling and even more appalling.

Changed up movies to The Truman Show. Gee it's been ages since I watched it. I wonder what Gen Z or Alpha would think about the concept... it would feel so quaint today given how even reality TV is dated now, and they've grown up with the idea of everyone broadcasting so much their lives...

Gen Z would be clamouring for the opportunity to sign their future children up for something like this. Fame or die.
