5 hours on PT today to see a doctor.

I'm getting myself a cheap car in a few months if everything goes well. Been so fucking long since I've driven. Might need some lessons I think.

Or a small motorcycle/scooter if you don't go anywhere far.

Before covid, did daily round trips CBD-Camberwell. Fuel, insurance, maintenance all up is about the same as a monthly Myki pass.

Hmm. Maybe a postie bike spray painted black would do...

My brother has one of the modern postie bike and he gets around on it a fair bit. The second hand market may not be get though. They've stopped importing them because of be rules around bikes needing abs brakes. Great bike though
