    I taught the boys to wave at busses and they do it without fail now. I think it’s time to take them for a ride on a bus

      Don’t forget the trains! Some drivers will toot if kids wave, to add extra excitement

        Once the driver let my kid actually toot the horn. He was our neighbor and knew us. That was 2016 and it’s a core childhood memory. The kid is still obsessed with trains.

          We’ve done the train into the city a few times but I don’t think they make the same association with the train as with the bus.

          Tooting Tue horn of a train is one of those formative experiences that would make you public transport pilled for life

    Sometime around Monday/Tuesday I passed a milestone of six months on my running streak. Every day since October 16, I’ve gone for a run. I’ve averaged about 6 hours a week running, or roughly 24 hours running every 4 weeks.

    I wonder whether I’ll make it to a year? It would mean not getting sick for a year. Seems unlikely.

    That friend I was talking about the other day, the one who had that breakup.

    He’s completely imploded. He’s done some stuff that’s basically pushed almost all his friends away. Just crazy stuff, like stealing from friends etc

    I’m taking a biiiiig step back.

    It’s sad to see, but I don’t think I’m going to have much to do with him for a long while.

    I feel very Melburnian today. Instead of my usual cuppa tea I French pressed some coffee. I should go and line up at a register at Coles with my puffer jacket on and buy some croissants for that all round Melbourne experience. Oo la la

    Note to self…wear a mask when you vacuum the pre filter in the air cleaner so you don’t cop a face of all that dust out the back of the vacuum…☹️. Hopefully there’s some antihistamines still lurking in the cupboard from spring…

        Where were they stored? Or were they cooked already?

        Middling Bad. It’s a hot sauce that didn’t quite live up to it’s name but is still pretty decent.

              Very useful. I prefer the Scorpion Strike though. It’s got other flavours, not just pure hot. Which the Death ones are pushing it on. Pain AND Tasty please.

                This is not mine although it takes up a lot of precious real estate in my fridge. The man doesn’t care for other flavours. Apparently it dilutes the chilli which defeats the purpose of eating chilli. 🤷‍♀️
