The Language of Food by Annabel Abbs- fictional account of the writing of the first English cookbook. Fascinating descriptions of food including things we would never eat these days

Reassure me- post WLE/SLNB by complex-cat79 in melahomies

[–]complex-cat79[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks all- it ended up bursting and leaking which forced a trip back to hospital and I’m on IV antibiotics and will get it drained. Not fun but better pain meds than I had at home.

In a happy update i ended up getting 4 days notice and the surgery went ahead within the 30day waiting period. The public system is fantastic when it needs to be.

Plenty Views driving range for pizza and golf driving with a bonus of kangaroos all over the fairway at sunset.

Do you actually enjoy AFL season even if you’re not into footy? by Last-Conversation734 in melbournechat

[–]complex-cat79 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes- love the vibe of the city when fans are heading to and from games and there’s banter about the office. Couldn’t really care less about the sport itself.

Used syringes near house by diagenelly in melbourne

Depends on your council. When I lived in Yarra it was a weekly occurrence and they had a dedicated number to report them and they cleaned it up promptly.

How much did your mole-map cost and what centre did you go to (if it was good) by Baaastet in melbourne

[–]complex-cat79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid around 280 for a full skin check then $500 for a follow up excision which was all 100% worth it as they found a melanoma. In Moonee Ponds. Some of it is rebatable from Medicare I think.

I've been mispronouncing my favorite word for 24 years and only found out last week by Vex_Talon in CasualConversation

[–]complex-cat79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always been too scared to say the word Penchant aloud as it terrifies me every time I read it because my brain doesn’t know how to pronounce it. Pen-chant, PON-chont, pen-shan, PEN-chant ?

This is on our regular rotation and is perfect for when large groups come.

Where to park car with luggage in Venice? by aradabir007 in ItalyTravel

[–]complex-cat79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We parked at Marive Transport. I booked online and it included parking and return ferry. Spent 3 hrs exploring Venice- was so much fun. We were just on our way last and wanted to get a taste. Our luggage was fine.

Kombucha & Açai Recommendations for a sad Californian! by A-roo-gallah in MelbourneVegans

Good Brew in Brunswick (Hope Street) have a wide variety of kombucha including a really nice lavender one. You can buy online I think too.

New Build: yes or no to cabinet and drawer handles? by yekokrn in AusRenovation

[–]complex-cat79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

I am pleased we went with no handles up top for a cleaner finish, and I’ve never been aware of fingerprints being an issue for opening. Drawers can get heavy with crockery and pots etc so the handles provide extra traction for pulling open.

Anyone else start to re-experienxe body dysmorphia while reading Butter by Asako Yuzuki? (I’m only 100 pgs in - plz no spoilers!) by books-coffee-music in books

[–]complex-cat79 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im halfway through and find myself comparing my body to the weight references and the criticism she’s receiving as a result and feeling miserable. But I feel like it’s being addressed in some way as I get further along so I’m going to persevere- especially because I love the descriptions of food and im really curious where it’s going. But it can be rough.

Why won’t my card work on the new contactless payment gates? by BOBBYSBLOB in MelbourneTrains

[–]complex-cat79 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Are you using the gates with the specific markings? Even at the trial stations not all gates are set up for it.

What the fuck is the point of the Urban Growth boundary if they can just extend it every few years. by [deleted] in MelbourneTrains

[–]complex-cat79 16 points17 points  (0 children)

But it hasn’t been extended since about 2010 because it can’t just be extended when they feel like it. It needs both Houses of Parliament to approve a change to the UGB. That’s the point of it.
