Apologies to all football fans, I may have made a comment around the end of the first quarter about it being good to have a close match, which was apparently the Swans' cue to completely stop trying.

I was pleased with the symmetry of the scores though, with the Lions' goals and points both being exactly double the Swans, also everything being a multiple of three suits my numerical preferences.

And what grand final snacks do we have planned? I'm doing a nice cheese platter.

Not really into footy but I’ve been holding on to a Mac n Cheese recipe for a while I might try.

Roman Holiday is on SBS World Movies. I would like to be pootling around Rome on a Vespa.

My record player is "skating" lately, that means the needle travels across of the vinyl. As far as I can tell I can't adjust balance or weight on this player. I used a spirit level to check the cabinet and it's fairly level. I might get a new cartridge and see how that works.

It's kinda fun solving these little problems and learning about the whole audiophile interest.🙂

cartridges are >$400!!!!

I'll look for other solutions 😵

I had a massive crush on the singer of this song, just because of his voice. I wish he had sung more because it's still hot AF to me
