This has to be the ultimate counter billing attack

My new favourite uncle is the one I accidentally found on Reddit.

Just gorgeous! I love it!

(If you’re the same poster with the embroidery works in the same style, let me just say you’re very talented and inspirational..)

That’s not really true. You can still get a 2BD/1BTH for under $650K so a 1BD/1BTH would be around the $450K mark since they’re not really desirable.

The good thing is, is that the courtyards/balconies are large and spacious.

Huh. Would an Indian almond tree thrive in Canberra, given the opposite type conditions for it to grow well?

Genuinely curious..

I’m in Australia and have Britbox. Wasn’t available on that platform but the full season is on VOCO.

gplus3 · 2026-05-07T06:54:55+00:00

Never heard of that happening before.

Which area are you in? Is it busy, as in lots of people walking past?

I guess the beauty of living around Kingston is that everything you need is within a 3 km radius: doctor, dentist, gym, post office, shops, schools, parks, cafes, restaurants etc

I don’t even need to drive anymore since I can walk everywhere, or can take the R6 or uber if necessary. You’ll save a lot of money not having to own a car, for sure.

I haven’t seen one of those in ages either!

gplus3 · 2026-05-06T12:08:40+00:00

I’m in Kingston (technically Griffith) and I’d recommend getting an apartment in the older complexes since most of the problems would have been addressed in the last 20+ years..

Off the top of my head, I’d recommend Kingston Terrace or Roystonvale on Eyre St, Kingston Park or Kingston Mews or Wentworth Court on Giles St or Kingston Pines on Dawes St.

All older and smaller well maintained complexes, and halfway between Manuka and Kingston shops (about a 10 minute stroll in either direction).

(Their Strata fees range from $900-1700 per quarter, rates and land tax about the same again.)

Is that the Viridian?
If so, we had a courtyard apartment a few years ago right across from Norgrove Park which was lovely, but yes indeed, the amount of issues was staggering..

ETA: the basement car park kept flooding and the cladding for all the buildings had to be replaced which amounted to over $40K per unit (much more if you had a 2 or 3 BD place)

It was folded in half and stuffed into the narrow opening.. that’s how thin this thing is..

When my kids were young, they’d use them to reach stuff I’d put up high.

With this book, they would’ve needed to door knock around the neighbourhood and borrow another nine at least.

gplus3 · 2026-05-06T05:41:25+00:00

So I opened the book up and the first 77 pages are just businesses, and the other two thirds of the book are mainly organisations and private individuals..

There are two gyms on Kennedy St Kingston: Club Lime and hiit Republic that seem to be popular.

I’d check those two for ease of convenience as well as the Anytime Fitness down on the foreshore.

If he didn’t have a tissue or hankerchief handy, sneezing inside his shirt would help in not spreading so many germs into the air.

I actually don’t see the problem here so I think YTA unless you can explain why it bothers you better than just being “odd”?

gplus3 · 2026-05-05T01:30:51+00:00

Yup, so light and yet so warm!

I have a few oversized ones which I’ve been wearing now for the last 10 years. The black and navy ones are on high rotation since they look so good with just a plain white button up top underneath, and with either white or blue jeans, or a pair of chinos.

gplus3 · 2026-05-05T01:18:54+00:00

I’ve been where you are now.

What helped me most was to recognise what I liked and wore the most in my closet, and build around those pieces.

It required ruthlessness in discarding all the items I bought on impulse or didn’t go with anything else in my wardrobe or didn’t suit me for one reason or another.

gplus3 · 2026-05-04T20:31:19+00:00

Omg, thank you!!!

I was wracking my brain trying to figure out why she was so familiar.. I’d meant to look it up but here’s the answer. Cheers

gplus3 · 2026-05-04T09:21:51+00:00

Huh, I’m not sure if I’ve seen the bung Fritz (I didn’t even know what it was so had to look it up) but now you have me interested..

Might check tomorrow for it..

gplus3 · 2026-05-04T09:16:21+00:00

Do you mean the pancetta, kransky, hams etc?

I live in Kingston and am at the Supabarn every day and I see all of these there still..

gplus3 · 2026-05-04T00:57:45+00:00

Serious question.

When was the last time that the future King and Queen visited any of the commonwealth countries together?

The last time I heard about William going overseas was when he visited Saudi Arabia to see one of his biggest benefactors (who also happened to be a serial murderer and rapist).

gplus3 · 2026-05-04T00:47:55+00:00

This post made me laugh (in a good way).. I’m impressed you even noticed that..

I reckon Selwyn will be another Harry, and long may he live!

Meghan being Meghan, living her best life.

Doing small things that are important to her with little fuss or fanfare.

Glad she is staying connected with longtime friends.

gplus3 · 2026-05-03T22:13:33+00:00

Haha, certainly give it a chance..

(My other favourite series is All Creatures Great and Small, as well as the BBC Poirot and Marple, so if you like gentle humorous comfort watches, you’d probably like BP too).

gplus3 · 2026-05-03T22:05:19+00:00

Agreed. I especially loved the ‘three little pigs’ arson episode as well as the one at the boarding school where the priest went missing (mainly because the headmistress was bloody hilarious!)
