Anyone know what happened on the Mernda line? Trains are delayed around 15 - 20 minutes and just kinda stuck that way.

How good is RTO?

Melbcat is sleeping warm under the doona. I hope she lets me in!

Iโ€™ve seen electric blankets that are washable and am wondering if itโ€™s worth buying one of those.

Went outside and saw my mum and aunt drinking coffee, whilst other aunt had a beer.

Cheers ๐Ÿป

I WAS 9 for 9, excited, hopeful. Question 10 though... No idea. Guessed wrong. Hopes dashed.

7/10 - OK with a couple of guesses (both wrong)

I got 5. Have not been absorbing details of news except niche areas of my interest for a while now. Charles and Camilla married for 20 years? Shows what I know ๐Ÿ˜‚

I kind of neglected my garden while feeling so sick for this past week.

Garden ramblesYesterday I went out and watered because everything was wilting and noticed the powdery mildew was really on the jack be little pumpkin leaves. Today I went out and theyโ€™re full of aphids I donโ€™t have the energy to wipe off. Iโ€™m still feeling pretty sick.

They look healthy still but Iโ€™m learning a lot for next go round. (With how much I need next time I should choose concentrates and combine the organic pesticide and fungicide into the same solution for efficiency.)

Thereโ€™s a fruit shriveling because I didnโ€™t pollinate it and a recently closed female flower I could still probably get pollen into, but Iโ€™m wondering if I should let the plants concentrate on maturing the fruits that are already set and growing. The weather is still warm but I donโ€™t know what to expect.

Feeling sad af. When starting all this I envisioned a bumper crop of zucchini to share out (as people always complain of them going wild) but it seems my space and energy limitations mean a lower yield. (I think those I did plant at the right time.)

With help I managed to sort out a dental appointment for May but thatโ€™s still a month away so I got another week of antibiotics from the gp to try and hold me. Worried about the wait tbh.

Petrol looks like it's going up around the place today. My two local Ampols were 2.04 and 1.66.

I'll need to crack open a can of Citray when I get home today. I received an email from La Sirene they've stocked up on the Praline as well. We'll probably be in Reservoir for a car show so I might get some

I forgot to mention that you now canโ€™t even read only let alone print a document without a Microsoft Word subscription. I switched to Libre Office

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Introducing copilot into 365 and upping the price by $100 was one of the best things to ever happen to Libreoffice. I've been meaning to do a presentation on Libreoffice for the old people I help so they can save money
