Yay for you! That must be such a relief. Uncertainty and waiting are awful, so sorry you had to go through that.

I waited until 12 ticked over to post this… but have a look at this absolute beast of a backpack holding $84 of groceries like a champ. I’ve had this backpack for maybe 7 or 8 years now, taken it half way around the world twice & on countless domestic trips, and I’ve used it as my daily carrier/work bag and it’s as good as the day I bought it.

Can fully recommend the Osprey Farpoint 40. Never felt more confident recommending something.

lol you made me curious so I checked the receipt… it’s actually 21 items! A 2 litre bottle of white vinegar. 750ml windex. Can of bug spray. 3 trays of meat. 2 jars of pasta sauce. 2 packs of Penne. 1kg bag of rice. Bag of potato gems. And more. Some decently sized items!

I have one of those (or a very similar model), it’s a great bag. I’ve never taken it grocery shopping, but it was great in Vietnam where it needed to be able to handle everything from walking and motorbike travel to air travel as both hand luggage and cargo. Also fully recommend.

I like to clip my bike panniers on the inside of the trolley. Tioga panniers, almost 20 years old.

The man won some money yesterday so he bought me a trifle. I ♥ him.

Woke up to someone sending me a bunch of pictures of someone’s kids… Hopefully it’s not a phishing scam because I replied telling them they have the wrong number and that I had deleted the photos.

But holy hell what a nightmare for the parents, and also worst nightmare for me having random pictures of some kids on my phone for 5 seconds (especially as a man).
