Is there anything happening in the city tomorrow? They've declared southern cross and half the cbd to be designated areas, ie they can search anybody and anything in there for any reason, including no reason

I will be in the city tomorrow
The exact boundaries are listed in the latest gov gazette here: https://www.gazette.vic.gov.au/gazette/Gazettes2024/GG2024S154.pdf
As well as info about designated areas here: https://www.police.vic.gov.au/weapons-search-areas
I would normally link to a your rights when dealing with police page, but because it's a designated area you pretty much have none
Oh thank you! I should be out of that area by 1pm when it starts.
And here's the rain now.
Thank fuck, I was wondering whether we would get blueballed like the last time. I am truly enjoying the sound of soaking outside. Whether I'll like it so much tomorrow morning is another question.
I'm at a party. It's been almost a decade maybe since I've been to one and it feels nice but it takes some getting used to.
i was about to express disappointment but radar shows more incoming
Thank you for keeping us a breast
I don't want breast, it's too bland!
Well that got a bit intense. The rain got so heavy traffic slowed down to about walking speed and multiple people decided to just pull over and wait instead. I got totally drenched running the 5m from my car to my front door. I've changed into dry clothes and Miss Meow is now ensconsed on my lap purring. Mr Woof has forgiven me for the lack of a walk and is also on the couch for moral support.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the heaviest rain will have mostly cleared by 7am, when I need to walk to the carshare and then drive to work...
The rain intensified while we were already enroute thankfully. Wife was enjoying her time listening to the rain and cheering on the cars ahead of us as we all queued up to drive through a puddle at 25kmh lol.
recaptcha freaks me out with all the people riding motorcycles wearing light sandals and shorts, no gloves
You're all in for a treat β‘ β
Sky so loud
Oh dear. Mr Woof's after work walk is in jeopardy. He will be very unimpressed.
Sorry Mr Woof π

Skies darkening. Thunder in the distance. Heavy rain radar blob heading my way. Itβs been a while.
This weather also matches my mood, Iβve had the worst long weekend. Need an evening of self-care with background rain.
BOOM. Yeah I have been waiting for this to hit and wash away some crap all day. Hope you get a good but safe soak
Watering the garden did not bring rain. π€·ββοΈ
About to happen.
rain!!
I've been spending all afternoon watching Michael McIntyre clips on Youtube. I dunno how I didn't know about him before. Some of the jokes around domestic life and kids are a bit flat but he's absolutely brilliant with the observational humour otherwise.
I have some mince to use up so I've decided to go in blind. Chuck in some spices and veg. Sweet, spicy. I don't know whatever comes out is good enough.
I'll be 41 years old this month.
I'd like to say I've lived a bit of a life. I've had and lost friends. I've found and lost love. I was even married for a little while. I was directionless career-wise coming out of high school but now I'm quite successful and am paid well for it. I'm moderately well-travelled. I've been to and seen a lot of places both domestic and abroad and not all of them were so nice.. some were even outright sketchy.
But today, on April 1st 2024 - I saw my very first bona fide, honest-to-god, ready for use, manky Glory Hole. A clearly frequented hole in the side of a toilet stall complete with some eager gent waiting on the other side.
From now on my life has been split in two; before I saw a Glory Hole and after. I was so young in the before-times. So naive. So full of hope.
you wrote ready for use
the mental image you evoked was that it was in use by one member of the public already
just waiting on another member
Well that was a twist!
Oh no. I need to know if it's local to me.
Nah but I'm pretty sure Hannah Watts Park would have one if you're hunting one down.
This was at Yarraville Shopping Centre.
Yeah. The cars parked there at night ain't playing on the swings.
So... Did you use it or nah?
Seemed rude not to.
spoiler
Seriously though I actually did a big Nope-180 out of the stall and found another at the other end.
Please clarify 'the other end'......
Other end of the row of stalls
Oh thank goodness. I was slightly concerned for your.... ahem.... other end.

Well that hasn't happened to me for a while. Just got home from a lunch engagement, and checked the washing on the line. ALL of it has brown streaks from the rain. The little rain we did get has clearly knocked some nasty stuff out of the air. Even the laundry basket had a puddle of brown water on the base. Currently re-washing everything that was on the line. Grrr. EDIT: just checked windy.com - Melbourne is currently in the gap between 2 big areas of rain. When the wind change comes, we is going to be drenched. Some nice little funderstorms building to the west.
I like your optimism butI'm still going to the water the chili plants, they are looking dry.
