    We’re regulars at a Vietnamese restaurant in Footscray. Been going there for years.

    Waitress asked us for a photo today as they have a wall out back of customers who get special discounts and freebies.

    They’re so sweet.

    Ugh. A marketplace scam I didn’t anticipate: Buyer collects, but then later claims some issue/ reason for a refund while they re-list and on-sell the item. They hope to cash in on getting the refund as well as selling the item.

    I’ve reported them. But it’s still very concerning that they have made physical threats. Bloody lowlife.

        Yeah. They seemed very comfortable with stooping to threats to try to convince me to refund them. That’s kinda what made me search online if this was a scam.

                Thanks, it’s nice knowing there’s someone out there. I’m hoping the security cams and locked gate is enough of a deterrent.

    I survived the night shift and got some good sleeping in today, ready to go again tonight 🙂

    It’s amazing to see the amount of effort put in by volunteers all over the state (and from interstate) in harrowing and dangerous conditions. Thousands of people out there willing to put their lives on hold to undertake some of the most arduous work possible, and to keep going back again. Even with the worst of the weather past us there is going to be a lot of work ongoing to bring the fires under control.

      There’s a couple of fires round Altona meadows and point Cook. I opened my window for so fresh air and immediately had to shut it again. Now the air purifier is going OFF!

      I just went out for a walk and the smoke smell is strong. The air is foggy with it and the afternoon sun looks more orange than usual

      I had to shower and change because my hair and clothes smelled of smoke

    Hey gang. So first half a day in Japan didn’t go amazingly well but there were some good moments. I had an overnight flight to China and then a connecting flight to Japan, and I had really sore knees and couldn’t get comfortable. Transiting through China felt like a fever dream. Got here, went on train. The real scramble shouldn’t be Shibuya Scramble but Shinjuku Station, because it’s jam-packed. I then met up with friend who carried my luggage for me, and her friend who tagged along bought us yakiniku which was nice. Hostel is cool, but the shower rooms were a bit gross and there was nowhere to put my clothes and toiletries. I didn’t really get to do what I had planned to do today, but that’s the fun of it I guess. Hopefully I’ll get some good rest tonight and that the konbinis live up to the hype.

      the first day is getting your bearings and making sure you have your stuff and are where you’re supposed to be, also looking around while you do your stuff and seeing if anything catches your eye that you can visit later

    Copped an infection from yesterday’s stuff. Antibiotics have kicked in finally.

    Been practising a song for about 5 weeks and finally got it down. Here’s a phone recording if anyone’s interested
