Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
One of my friends from work finally gave me some good news.
Her daughter who went holidaying in Israel finally made it back home to Melbourne after being distraught at the situation and having multiple flights canceled trying to get out of the country.
She sent me a photo of them hugging each other at the airport after landing this morning.
So happy for her and relieved.
Had a visitor (or 2, one not pictured)

I swear they're the same ones that've been going at that lawn for years and years now.
This is a wonderful morning for some buttery French toast.
Made by someone else.
Brought to my bed.
Doing that thing where I have a big life change coming so everything is being clean, rearranged, and then cleaned again. My pc/desk has never looked so good though, the glass panel is bordering on mirror status.
I've just made a pot of tea. I would share, but I do in fact need all of the tea
After last night, in verray truth. Please feel free to have a second pot if this is required. I can vouch for the effectiveness of choc chip cookies if energy levels flag mid-morning.
I'm of a similar mind with the tim tams I just bought. His Lordship shall have to content himself with the high tea assortment
Do report back - I’m interested to hear what it’s like :-)
I am seriously considering making some chocolate pudding and custard, but am currently trapped under a cat so cannot move. This is a dilemma.
Edit: apparently Miss Meow thinks I should make the pudding, as soon as I hit send she got up to have another round of dinner.
Edit 2: custard made, pudding in oven. Dessert night is Go
Oh Melbourne. One day of beautiful weather, next day pissing down. You're a little tease, you are.
I guess my bins will have to stay out in the street today after being picked up.
Thank God I got voting and petrol filling out of the way, but I have to drive to pick up something tomorrow, ugh.
I did 2 workouts today. One yoga and one cardio. Every time I do cardio it gets easier and easier and recovery doesn't take as long. I'm gonna start incorporating strength training a little bit more now. I'm 10 minutes away from earning a garmin challenge badge. I feel good. That's all.
For the heck of it I've started binging ST:DS9
Love me so 90s sci-fi cheese.
I'm nearly at the end of S2. Loving it! Are you gonna do SG1 after this?
It's really very excellent. I love when the Russians join the program. Gets me all nostalgic for a time when relations between the Russians and Americans were cordial.
Fucking woo, Boyo is employed again. A few more days of the pacing panther to deal with but hooray!
I've finally given in and ordered an air fryer. If I do not get crisper potatoes than my small convection oven I shall be most displeased.
We took ours camping recently. Had perfect roast chicken in camping chairs in front of the fire one night - was glorious.
I have visions of little air fryer sitting in a chair by the campfire
Nice. Portability was one factor in my decision. I'm planning on taking this up to my parent's place for Christmas to do the potatoes, as oven space tends to be at a premium.
I have a convection oven and they definitely come out crispier in the airfryer. What did you get?

My goal for today's work day: drink a cup of tea while it's still hot.
And don't stab anyone. I guess that's two goals. I'll see how I go.
