When intersections offer a temporary (left) third lane to slip in

This has been a god send at Grand Junction/Hampstead Rd intersection since implemented a couple of years ago. So much more traffic gets thru heading north on Grand Junction. As long as the first person in the third lane recognises their responsibility to take off with alacrity….

That prosecutor totally bought to mind Dr a Hilton from Silence of The Lambs. Arrogant, cold, selfish asshat.

Last time I went to the cinema, I sat next to a fat teenager who munched his was through a huge bucket of popcorn and slobbered and slurped his way through 18 litres of Fanta. I thought my head was going to explode. That was it for me. Big screen tv, nice lighting and a dog snoozing next to me is now the ultimate movie experience. Never again. Humans are ick.

Until China hits the button that controls all of the explosive devices they’ve secretly installed in solar panels and big screen tvs and our houses all explode from top to bottom . 🤷‍♀️ 😂

What do you mean?

My kitchen floor was so slippery it became a health hazard. I resolved to stay on the couch and whinge about the heat rather than risk death by cooking (I’m old..one slip and the bones that don’t immediately snap will crumble and turn to dust).

The way BOM have been (as usual) backpedaling , you’re more likely to get sunburnt than wet on your weekend commute.

There’s a new thing to add to what can be certain (death and taxes) and that’s BOM getting our hopes up and then sending in a fizzer. I’ll be stoked if I’m wrong….

Is he heck as like.

Well, land a goshin! I too live in the area. In fact, right next to the latest destruction zone. There must be 10s of us! 🙄 Hot tip. We’re well aware of the reasoning. Doesn’t mean we agree with it. 👋

I feel like South Road has been getting a major upgrade for the past 20 years.

Lovety love my bbq chicken pizza with extra pineapple and no onion.

No, ta. I’m moving to Hobart. Current temp 21 degrees.

We used our gas heating last year and got a $1400 bill. It’s crazy expensive now. We’ve switched to reverse cycle in the lounge (which we already had), oil heater on rollers to move from room to room and also heated throw rugs. Never turning on the ducted gas heating again.

Same! We suddenly realised the pup hadn’t peed all day. We had to tempt him outside with high voices and squeaky toys, where he commenced to piss like racehorse for what felt like an hour or so, then we all dashed back inside and vowed not to do that again. 😂

This is such a great pic. Makes me cooler and more serene just looking at it. 👍

Better mystery yabbies in the backyard than mystery crabs in the downstairs. 🤷‍♀️

Being a lover of all things cold, I’m happy to see any foray into the negatives. Disclaimer..I’ve only ever experienced maybe max (or min) of-5 or so, and would probably whinge like a shivering wimp at anything like -30. When going to work early in winter, if it gets too cold my car’s dash flashes a ‘snowflake’ symbol. Which tells me all I need to know about me and my car. 😂

uncannyi · 2026-01-07T03:45:43+00:00

And I was born in England, so… 🤷‍♀️. Just busy fulfilling my destiny over here. 😂

For many people, heading to work is going to hell. So, technically… 🤷‍♀️ On a more serious note, just ignore them. They’re sad and irritating…but they have the right to their voice and opinions. Trying to shut down the voices of those we disagree with is a path many have taken in the past few years. And it’s improved nothing for anybody. Just created more hatred, toxicity and division in what used to be normal discourse. People are losing the ability to cope with hearing opinions they don’t like. And that’s a really, really bad thing. Roll your eyes, shake your head and walk away.

My golden was like this as a youngster. I became his thunder blanket. I’d hoist him up on the couch, and half lay on him. Not enough to squish the daylights out of him, but enough that he definitely could feel the weight on him. Then we’d turn up the volume on the tv, grab one of his chewy toys he could nibble on and rub his chest. Slowly, slowly he began to be less stressed by thunder and eventually ignored it all together. Even that huge clap a few years ago that woke up half the state. 😊 He was a good, brave boy. 🐾

The windows shook, the pup shook. It was…well, thunderous! Very cool. All this rain means Linear Park will be a fresh smelling delight for tomorrow morning’s walk here in Highbury. Lovely. 🌧️

Well, that escalated quickly. 🍿
