Melbourne

Aww they tried to hide this under the "read more" section on the listing...

$500 a week for a leaky garage and some cooling you absolutely know is not getting fixed anytime soon.

I'm SO sick of this Taylor Swift talk. Nothing against her, I like some of her stuff. But this "will she become president" and "OMG she's landed in Melbourne" is just so tedious. You know who else is here? The Blink 182 boys! But there's no need to bang on about it. Do people really not have anything else to talk about?

I'm more interested in hearing peoples thoughts on a their last coffee than I am their thoughts on a celebrity.

So I've joined the club

A family friend brought over a coffee machine yesterday. He wasn't using it and thought we'd like it. LIKE it‽ Was so excited for it when the kids sent me a pic of it on the bench.. grabbed some Grinders on the way home and OMG it's like drinking a coffee flavoured cloud!

My friend in the US got to meet my idol and got this for me.

My friend is absolutely amazing.

This place is like an oasis from the utter shittiness of other social media

We have green lights across the board..

All systems on line ✅⚡️

Brief peek at reddit while lemmy was down and yes I prefer staying here

This makes me happy

Not sure about tin fish but here’s a couple of Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches I just made.

9.5/10

Old neighbour spent all his day in the garden and now there's an ambulance at his place.

His existence irritates the hell out of me, but deep down I hope he's okay.

Looky what I found. I thought I'd try it tonight when my standards are pretty low.

Went to a gig last night and it seems that young pomms are back in droves (you can tell by the accents and number of fades). Was packed. Normally the place is empty on a thurs.

Extremely popular music in the UK (drum and bass) but the scene here has sort of been struggling after the rona (for the smaller gigs). Hopefully it gives promoters a bit more confidence throwing smaller cheaper gigs and difference is made up with drink sales.

Also $15 a pint is ouch.

Anyone else resorting to running the heater in the morning? Im chucking on shorts and a t when i get up, but finding really I want a hoodie and trackies till 10:30/11. So Im just chucking on the heater for halfa. The solar mostly covers it anyway.

For. @[email protected] very much WIP but it’s getting there

Yaay internets are back

As I watch these lion dancers doing their thing, I can't help but wonder: What's the connection with China and Lions in the first place? Were Chinese importing lions from Africa thousands of years ago? Any why are Lions the symbol of England for that matter?

I'd have thought Tigers would have been a lot closer to China, at the very least.

I should get a major part of a project for work done today and then it's part 2 of valentine's day celebrations this evening

Miracle of miracles, I'm moderately well rested

The moon is beautiful tonight

After midnight, the air is silent,
The crickets chirp, the birds are quiet.
Hear the low hum of passing cars,
The beat and thrum of guitars in bars.
Occasionally a cry will break the night,
Or giggles will follow the sound of a light.
The sound of bottles being thrown away,
The bar downstairs is done for the day.
Come three in the morning, or even one,
The club's will close, they're all done;
The patrons will flood the street to phone,
A rideshare to drive them all the way home.

Tay you say?
