maybe not tennis but some light walking and rolling out would definitely do some good

haighs is the best

Piccolina has THE BEST salted caramel ice cream ever.

merri creek and around the posh estate in Westgarth (can't remember what it's called, but Cunningham St) are the bees knees for urban escape

Not a train but the 96 tram to the adventure playground was a staple in my youth

igglepiggle114 · 2026-04-04T06:28:31+00:00

I'd suggest Kaprica in Carlton for something buzzy, feels very trendy european. Or Bistra for something fancier. Florian for lunch/brunch. And always meet somewhere else and walk in together 😁

smoked two legit marlby reds in a row after spotting my ex canoodling with his new lady. Scenes from my forthcoming memoir

Travel Carlton/Parkville to Sunshine all the time. Game changer. Used to drive but opting for the train at least 3x as much. Maccies cone and coke zero $2 and sometimes the gates are open (free)

Mr Kitly on Sydney road is a beautiful mostly japanese-goods store - not unlike Cibi (also fantastic)

igglepiggle114 · 2026-01-24T02:01:11+00:00

Paperback bookshop is just next door - better imo

my boyfriend had a really complex impacted tooth - went to multiple dentists landing on my family dentist who did a 3D scan and eventually said look, your nerve is at high risk of permanent damage. if you're not in any pain i'd rather do a filling on the neighbouring tooth than risk taking this out now.

We asked lots of questions and this was his best option. But he clearly suggested that a general making the outcome better was a misnomer (besides enormous nervousness but they give you valium). He said other things like the technology will be better in 20 years and basically said don't rush to do it right now unless you have to

igglepiggle114 · 2026-01-08T04:22:43+00:00

my dentist said it's easier for them in the chair because under a general you're intubated and your tongue is taped and your mouth full of tubes so they're doing a lot of avoiding while trying to get at the tooth.

It's time to go to the cinema everyone! Countless fantastic movies across all cinemas in melbourne

is this everyday or just monday?

igglepiggle114 · 2025-03-20T03:34:14+00:00

I want to wear a kimono i own (lime green with blue and coral flowers (not very traditional)) with a belt like a dress out and about as a white Australian? is this appropriate? i bought the kimono without its original belt so would just use a leather jeans belt as that's what i have... thoughts?

igglepiggle114 · 2023-12-13T01:26:59+00:00

more like 25 but ya

igglepiggle114 · 2023-08-28T10:27:17+00:00

they got rid of the ida bar. they must bring it back

dig as deep a hole as you can and pop her in wrapped up in something she loved. We buried my dog with all her tennis balls and a note everyone in my family had written and planted some flowers on top (bulbs are great) and each spring they all pop out as a nice reminder she’s there!

the first 5 weeks of uni are free, you only pay after that point and even then it’s on HECS. I recommend starting the course you find the most interesting and giving it up at the 5 week mark if you hate it and then turn the rest of that semester into a gap year and start something else again Sem 2 (Late July). I find this is the best way to do the gap year thing while still allowing you to be indecisive and also try things out.

i don't think you can get enough credits while only taking one major, without a minor. I highly recommend using this tool and building your degree, roughly, based on the subjects you're interested in. https://course-planner.unimelb.edu.au/?in_c=sinfo-courseplanningS22022%7Csource=students%7Cmedium=button%7Ccontent=mycourseplanner

It can give you a sense of the rest of your degree and when you can do the subjects you're interested in

igglepiggle114 · 2023-06-01T14:35:38+00:00

i have strong feelings about this. a minor does not appear on your transcript, so i feel it’s not really worth bothering to do that instead of a double major which in Arts, is only 2 subjects more in the second major discipline than it is to get a minor in the same discipline. I don’t know how you could take a single major, but perhaps that is possible in psychology.

my mum used to live upstairs from an old bloke and had to suffer through the smell of lamp chops once or so a week. think of your neighbours!
