Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
If I do housework all day surely I will bring some order to the chaos, even if i do the housework chaotically
Great news everyone, Jeff Bezos ex wife just emailed to say my email address has been randomly chosen and that she wants to give me 1.5 million US dollars! Woo Hoo, I’m rich!
It’s not really clear. There is an attachment and a few links, I guess I just click on all those
I was thinking of growing a mango tree. What is the best kind of mango?
One that will grow in Melbourne??? I will ask my sister, who grows bananas in Jacana, which I didn’t think was possible but she now has a young forest of them. With fruit on the ‘trees’. Surely there has to be a cold tolerant version of mango by now.
EDIT: found this on the interwebs
Mallika: Can survive 0°C (32 °F) temperatures (for short periods of time).
Turpentine mango: Relatively cold-hardy.
Keitt: Low-growing variety that can grow and fruit in large pots.
Gomera: The most resistant to cold and frost, and it fruits even in South France.
Finished the skirt on my new xmas outfit. Now the top and the jacket still to do. Happy with the result, especially as the botch up of the pleats at the back won’t be seen under the jacket (I hope). Everything else has worked out just fine. This is my first attempt in many years at pattern drafting.
Changed up movies to The Truman Show. Gee it’s been ages since I watched it. I wonder what Gen Z or Alpha would think about the concept… it would feel so quaint today given how even reality TV is dated now, and they’ve grown up with the idea of everyone broadcasting so much their lives…
e: awww it’s young Stan Beeman
Gen Z would be clamouring for the opportunity to sign their future children up for something like this. Fame or die.
