Gosh this song is stuck in my head now. Is this a recent insta / tok song? (I know the original is from '96)

I won't be able to do the November pollinator study thing. I went out briefly yesterday but started feeling unwell walking and had to come back inside.

But there were so many white cabbage moths! I saw one legit butterfly, it was too fast to id, but the rest are these pale fluttering menaces. Maybe that's why there were sus bumps on my spinach leaves.

Edit: Ok, wet weather?

Finally have all the paperwork (albeit virtual) submitted for The Job. Had to do some several times on different platforms and got a email this morning saying I needed to put in the emergency contact details or induction would be delayed... except they were already in. They did warn me that their systems were hiccuping since the Optus situation.
Anyway induction tomorrow and hopefully starting next week!

I have to purchase an unregistered vehicle permit from vicroads. Anyone hate how you have to purchase a separate permit to move it from point A to B and also to get it roadworthied/registered?

I have to move it from the depot to my home (1 permit) then from my home to the mechanic/vicroads (1 permit). They double dip on the permits, will cost me $100 instead of $50 :/

I used to get the one month option so I could move it between appointments without repeating the hassle.
