Back in melbs. Silly bus replacement. Wasn't as bad as expected but yea, 4 and a bit hours :(

I guess one good thing is there are far fewer people.

One thing that perplexes me is to get from geelong to wyndham vale station and vice versa by road, you have to meander through a shitload of back streets. Poorly thought out.

This time was paying very close attention to the synthetic lawns. EVERYWHERE! I'm really not sure why people do that (sorry to anyone here who has one). Just put some rocks down, few bigger feature rocks, maybe some cacti. Wouldn't be any more work, cheap as but would look a shitload nicer.

We need an update on your furry room mate please.

The furry friend lived to see another day. However (!), the bottle was put outside apparently last night and the peanut butter was gone the next day.

There is something out there. I want to believe.

I've seen synthetic lawns all around here too

as someone who had wood tiles on a terrace and a neighbour who had fake lawn , don't do it

it will collect dust and soil and plant particles and seeds brought in on the wind and when it rains it will turn to mud and sprout weeds

also, I second the call for furry room mate update 🙂
