Okay, time to get on with it
Hmm do I go out during my lunch break to get stuff done or do it after work?
Go get some sunshineeee it's lovely
If I see one more Mazda add I'm going to be violently ill.
get adblock and you'll never see another ad
unless you choose to watch free to air television
So I see broccoli on the Woolworths website at 96cents each.
What are the chances of it being that price in store?
Fabulous gardeniing weather. I have so much to do out there it's hard to know what to do first. I'll have to go with the potter around and do whatever catches my attention approach, trying to plan what I "should" do will just lead to overwhelm and decision paralysis. 🌞🌻👨🌾

Does anyone have recommendations for couriers they use to buy second hand goods from interstate?
I’m looking to buy a device from Gumtree/Marketplace that can weigh up to 20kg and in a (relatively) decent sized box ~(70cmx40cmx40cm)
Looking for services (not necessary) they offer like:
- either picking up from the person's house or they deliver it to a location
- they can pack it for you
- method of payment to the seller otherwise I'd have to trust the other party to ship it off
I tried looking into backloading but it seems like too much trouble for minimal savings. Looked at courier sites and wasn’t sure if I was doing it correctly but it was estimating ~$80 which is actually not too bad. Would much rather go off of recommendations.
Was recommended Couriers Please but it depends on the franchise
I've used Pack & Send, they were good but bloody expensive. Don't expect a lot of change from $200.
It's a nice and buggy day today. We haven't had one of those for a while.

Although I have a gripe about the 903 bus, which came and left 5 minutes before it was supposed to arrive at the stop. Would it kill the company to have them match up with the time schedule?

Based on years of being subject to the whims and fancies of Melbourne's public autobuses I have arrived at the belief that yes, indeed, there are basements of employees, quivering in the bowels of Collins Street as we speak, held hostage to a cold, metallic, fridge-sized switch at the PTV headquarters labeled "WARNING: Switching this on will initiate the running of a metropolitan public transport network befitting of the 21st century in which private contractors are genuinely held accountable to meaningful standards".
QAnon has nothing on this shit.
