Similar to this, does Melbourne have an ice skating place?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, there are a few rinks. There is one at Docklands, and there is one at Oakleigh. I believe there are a few others around too, but not sure where.

Where did you end up going?

Eh just a drive to Hawthorn, grabbed some Chinese food. Also a bit of monopoly at home. I'll update this thread if I find anything worth mentioning.

Yes but she won the the second game. My strategy of aggressively buying everything until I have no money to pay rent probably needs some refinement.

I like going out for a late night dessert. Desserts by Night in Springvale.

two great ideas:

wine tasting. have your gf loudly mention that she doesn't drink any alcohol, because she's healthier and "just a better person" every time someone is trying to enjoy their wine. joke "sommelier, more like smellier" like 30 times. bring up statistics around heart disease and liver cancer until you get kicked out.

bottle shop, but beforehand buy all the alcohol. that way you get to enjoy all the alcohol and your gf gets to enjoy what it's like being in a bottle shop without any bottles, which is a pretty novel and rare experience that you will treasure forever.

Yeah it's not at all like that. Pre COVID I would go out a lot drinking, since then I've mostly stopped but now am at a loss where to go. And I don't want to resume drinking as much, it just makes me feel shit nowadays.
