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!
Iโve seen electric blankets that are washable and am wondering if itโs worth buying one of those.
Went outside and saw my mum and aunt drinking coffee, whilst other aunt had a beer.
Cheers ๐ป

I WAS 9 for 9, excited, hopeful. Question 10 though... No idea. Guessed wrong. Hopes dashed.
9/10
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 ๐
I kind of neglected my garden while feeling so sick for this past week.
Garden rambles
Yesterday 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 theyโre full of aphids I donโt have the energy to wipe off. Iโm still feeling pretty sick.
They look healthy still but Iโm 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.)
Thereโs a fruit shriveling because I didnโt pollinate it and a recently closed female flower I could still probably get pollen into, but Iโm 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 donโt 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 thatโs still a month away so I got another week of antibiotics from the gp to try and hold me. Worried about the wait tbh.
Gah. Forgot about a bill that needed to be paid until I saw the email receipt of payment ๐ข
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 canโt even read only let alone print a document without a Microsoft Word subscription. I switched to Libre Office
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
