Now we have big wind
I have eaten 4 scoops of double choc chip ice cream.
Oh it was so nice.
Never realised that Platinum Qantas get shown different flight and pricing options. Was tentatively considering travelling end of year—which I used to—but have avoided like the plague for donkeys. The difference displayed in pricing was 2:1.
I shouldn’t be surprised. I get better treatment on a lower tier by partner airlines internationally compared to flying domestically at home and Qantas planes wouldn’t know what a deep clean was if it hit them on the head.
so you were offered half price?
Not for me, sadly. Someone else who looked up the flights who has Platinum, it seemed to display cheaper pricing. Not sure why. They’re able to book flights for two for about the price that I was shown for flights for one.
Sky noisy. Miss Meow is not impressed.
Bit of rain on the way
I was wondering when it was coming
ooh nice!
Great photo!
Thanks
Light drizzle here.
Think it fizzled out by the time it came by.
weather gone
Got thunder, lightning, rain. No hail yet. Smells good.
We have sunshine now.
Booooooom.
Pitter patter, pitter patter.
Flash of lightning.
Ditto. One big boom…
Ok it may not be that big. Carry on.
Hoping this storm is an epic one! On a related topic, what happens to Pokemon when theyre inside Pokeballs? Was it ever addressed cannonically? Are they stuck in there like a tiny prison cell, unable to move around or find comfort? Are they put to sleep or induced coma or something? Id like to know
Can vegans play Pokemon??
Given I talk as ll about sending my poor stat ones to the grinder
I hadn't thought of that before. Wow.

We have hail people.
Skies are dark but I’m getting no action yet. A red blob on the radar is making a bee line for my suburb but we’ll see. Love a good storm.
Melbourne's own Chook raffle.
Get your knickers off the clothesline errybody.
I can just hear the rumbling now. It's gonna be a doozy. GET THE WASHING OFF THE LINE NOW.
Hope we don’t lose power today.
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
It's started steadily raining now. No sign of thunders yet. I'll keep youse updated. Unless I nap.
I'm waiting for the rain so I can go for a walk. Fucking love walking in the rain
Eep. That’s a lot of colour on the radar.
Another protest in the city.
But the one thing that caught my eye is the number of Toyota Klugers in the police fleet lined up on the street. And then there's us having to wait months maybe years for a delivery lol.
What was the protest for?
Free Palestine rally
Edit: assuming its the same one anyway. That ended a bit ago now
Israel and Palestine war. Didn't pay attention to which side it was though, wife and I both starving so we moved quickly.
Think they’ll bail when the rain comes?
