Thanks for the kindness and good ideas. I have made a list of things I can do when it gets hard. Have managed to eat. Now shower and bed. Night

apparently he serves his electorate very well

How?! Isn’t he still convinced we need to be building up defenses in Darwin in case the Japanese come back to finish off the job? And I heard he’s still sketchy on this whole proposed gst thing.

He's phenomenally good at pushing/negotiating for them to get the infrastructure and services they need. Don't underestimate the power of that in a rural seat.

He's a bit of a meme, but he's exactly what you want in your local member

That's all well and good, but he ain't spending any time on it because in the meantime, every three months, a person is torn to pieces by a crocodile in north Queensland!

Had to call over the self-checkout assistant, so they could check the video of me putting the catalogue in my bag, before I could go back to checking out my groceries for them.

The only thing generous there is the spacing between timtams

Couldn't tell until I got it home. Won't be repeating my mistake that's for sure.

8 in the pack for the caramel brownie ones. I get that they're more expensive to make, but they're more expensive to buy as well without being given a measly 8 biscuits.

9 for Double Coat.
