Oh that’s good news. Glad he is ok

Sorry - I bought an awesome but not at all waterproof puffer jacket the other day. I have clearly doomed us all

Haha I understood this reference

thanks :-)

Thanks. I know that intellectually. I know that it’s also smashed me right back to childhood where there were a couple of big bad life changing moments like this. I don’t know why I expect I would ever be over that but I do. Thanks. I am gonna make a cuppa.

I can’t concentrate today. A close friend was in a bike vs car (cars fault) yesterday. They are still in hospital but ok -multiple fractures and chest trauma but could have been much worse. I spent yesterday babysitting and helping out and I thought I was ok but I keep getting the shakes today. I feel silly. I need to concentrate but I keep thinking about it.

Hug your peeps my peeps.

After jumping into the puffer jacket thread yesterday with a bold claim you need neither a big jacket nor a puffer…I succumbed today and am now one of the great Melbourne puffy community.

My fav little local store was having a sale so I got a proper down one for half price so just a bit over a hundred. I have to admit I am very toasty warm

To throw a spanner in the works my current go to (with a long underlayer) is a lightish jumper (usually woollen) and a shell jacket that doubles as a raincoat over the top. Super efficient at keeping out the wind and easy to pack down. I walk everywhere so it’s heaps warm enough the wool jumper is warm for inside.

Other than that I would go puffer first for packability (I love my pea coat but rarely wear it now)

Oh bum. I always tried to use them when I buy online

I have a older style garmin (that’s small and has an actual working watch face so it doesn’t look like a fitness tracker). I mainly wear it for the tracking and stress/HRV tracking but the watch bit is handy when I’m in meetings or dealing with public transport or trying to put down the phone. I lived happily without a watch for many years but since I got it I’ve worn it all the time. If it broke I’d probably go without again until I found something I like that fits.

I am very grateful for a WFH day - knockoff oodie+uggs FTW!

I’m not that far yet. Just finished the Tina episode. I just love the characters and for such relatively short episodes they really pack a lot of depth in. I am enjoying the pace too

Well…it’s certainly still stressful but I have enjoyed it the whole way through. S2 had a couple of very intense episodes but S3 is more chill (tho I am waiting for something terrible around the corner).

I am trying to space out my watching of the Bear season 3 but it’s so hard. You know the show is good when it’s a flashback episode, and you know it turns out ok, but you are still on the edge of your seat the whole time.

Good luck 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Oh yeah terrible all round. Lucky I have a good pantry/freezer as backup. Fresh stuff will just have to wait

Gave in and ordered Colesworty delivery today because I am run down and trying to have a rest day. They managed to …just…not give me 3/4 of the order… I have some pantry items delivered but none of the fresh or refrigerated stuff I actually needed. Delivery says bag 1 of 1 so it’s not a problem with the delivery dude.

I have put in for a refund but 😤

Heading back to Melbourne after 10 days in the tropics. Pray for me 🙏🏻

Not for the specific kleen kanteen one I had. Tried emailing the distributors and everything (they sent me one and it was the wrong size). Will keep my eye out for a generic replacement then give it away
