Leftover quiche and fruit. At lunchtime I made the mistake of heating up brioche HCBs (Aldi) in the microwave - they went all soggy. Better to toast them imo, but this is not the weather for toasting.

I'm going to Adelaide in 9 days! There's some sort of out of home care advocacy conference thing happening there over 3 days and I was offered some last minute tickets. I'm mostly there to just watch, but I do need to be the dude who introduces people, although they offer that to all of us that are going, so I'm only introducing a couple of people over the span of a few minutes on one day. Not sure if I should ad lib it or not, but I have names to remember.

I also get free time after the conference finishes, so you bet I'm going on as many Adelaide trains as I can fit in. Last time I was in Adelaide it was rather, err, unsanctioned (I ran away) so I had bigger problems to deal with

I'll have to find my metro card thingy (their version of a Myki). I never thought I'd be going back so I'm pretty sure I actually stuck it in a memory book type thing. Trouble is I don't know where I put that

Bite the bullet, and get a new one. Not worth the stress of hunting down the old one. My last visit to Adelaide was a long time ago, but I was impressed with the bus system.

I do not understand people who cut jeans into shorts so short they are mostly loose flapping pockets. Just looks weird.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

They're just showing off that they actually have pockets, unlike the evil bait-and-switch jeans I bought which have a curved seam that mimics where a pocket should go but fails to actually be a pocket.

Has anyone bought a house using a buying agent? i like the idea, but a lot of them seem to be very expensive & aimed at high end property and very expensive, I'm looking for someone who is affordable and a flat fee not commission based. Any feedback or recommendations?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I used one - Select Property Advisers. Worth every cent in freedom from hassle. Flat fees - keep dreaming. They all charge commission.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Do you mean this one https://selectpropertyadvocates.com.au/buying/ ? It says on their page they charge a flat fee. I was also looking at https://www.propertyhomebase.com.au/ which charge flat fees.

Warned the Mrs if she opens one more blind she’s going outside to play for a while. Glad she doesn’t feel the heat but the rest of us do.
