Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
I think I fucked up with the birdseed idea. She will not move for anything! So now I administer treats at the back door:
Holy fuck there was a car accident right in front of my house. I’ve never seen a car crash in person before, it was louder than I thought
Nobody seems to be hurt
It started leaking oil so the fire brigade came out to sweep it up with sand. I’d already called 000 and the Ambos had already arrived before I write the above comment btw
The cops are slow as usual, but they just called to get further info. The ambos arrived first and they’re still here, I overheard them saying they’re waiting for police
The dude driving the car rear ended a van that’s parked across the road, nobody was in it luckily, and the driver seemed fine, just a bit dazed
Had something similar happen outside my place a few days ago. The bloke over the road had his legally parked bmw flipped clean across the street into the street tree outside my house by a carful of idiots driving too fast through the roundabout in the rain. Horrible noise, the death throes of beautiful engineering. Again, thank goodness, no one was hurt.
Jesus Christ that sounds horrific… This wasn’t that bad, seems to have been fairly low speed, but it was freaky to witness
It’s an arresting sound for sure, especially out the front of your house. It happened years ago out front of a place I lived in a real quiet side street. Basically a situation where one car has to pull over and let the other car through because there wasn’t enough room and neither car did, so they had a really slow head-on collision. Myself and neighbours went out front to scratch our heads and ponder the 2 sheepish and embarrassed drivers!
Mr Procrastinata and I are on holiday in Germany. We’ve arrived in Frankfurt and it’s -2° this morning! Heading for Würzburg where it’s snowing. Winter’s here!
Thou shalt visit at least one christmas market. This is obligatory! And share some photos with us. We have much to learn about christmas markets done properly.
Read that 7-11 in Australia has been bought over by the Japanese parent company. I almost never go to convenience stores myself, but hope this means Australian 7-11s will up their game. Japanese kombini food is legit.
Game changer if they invest in it. There is such a market for GOOD fast food in this country. I saw a line for KFC drive through the other day and almost died of shock. Who queues for food that crappy?!
So I live near the carmelite monastery and just witnessed two nuns buy an UNHOLY amount of cheese and crackers at Leos.
They weren’t messing around for a monday,
nun reading the nun rules “no sex, no booze, no blasphemy, etc and so on”
looks up at a room full of anxious nuns “nothing about cheese”
many cheers.
Ooh, hoity toity. Same postcode but the far less glamorous side over here…
That said, I’ve always preferred the cheese selection at Toscanos. (Get some nice markdowns from time to time) I’d do cheese there and crackers at Leo’s.
And maybe if they bought some Jarlsberg or Emmental it might be less unholy. Gouda bless them.
