I see Melbourne has greeted me upon my return back to the country with it’s usual sunny disposition.
Tullamarine Airport is fucked. 8 planes all land at once. All passengers are jammed into a narrow corridor lining up for the egates.
Foreigners and children don’t use them, so they have to continue. But there’s no sign saying that. You only know if a random border security officer happens to swan past you.
Baggage carousels are a joke. Queueing for customs declaration also a joke.
@Pilk @wscholermann Also, if you’ve got checked baggage and you’re flying to Tullamarine, I suggest you bring a good book.
Because you’ll be waiting… And waiting… And waiting…
I keep hearing horror stories but my last trip was spectacular both on departure and arrival. I barely slowed down on my way out and same for on my way back in. No lines in either case. Scanned my stuff which I had out and ready and waltzed through no worries.
Picked up the bags from the carousel they sent me to. Off I went. Must have just been lucky.
You’re not going to believe this - after one person at the auction place called on Friday to say that the furniture I want to sell can’t be picked up, someone else called to talk about pickup.
We agreed it would be easier for me to bring the stuff up anyway but they now don’t have a slot for me to drop it off until 2:45.
Anyway the neighbour came around to help me load the car so that’s all done, and he helped me disassemble Mum’s old bed in the bargain and waved off any suggestion of payment. What a guy.
i think i gave away my entire stock of motivation
Oh no! I am a happy recipient of the breakfast motivation, I shall share some back. 💪💪💪 you can do it!
If you have one to me I’m definitely struggling to accept it.
Summoning every ounce of motivation to clean up a bad move furniture right now.
Not helped by an upset tummy and pain.
C’mon little package waiting at Sunshine West. Get in van. You can do it. You’ve got this.
Mickey says “good meow-ning”
We weighed him yesterday, by weighing us and then holding him to weigh again. Almost 9kg. You wouldn’t think it when he’s curled up. I checked some charts online and he doesn’t seem to be overweight, but he is due for his vaccination so I’ll ask the vet.
He eats less than the sachets say to (apparently a 4kg cat should eat three whole sachets!) because he has access to food all the time and he doesn’t eat constantly. Anyway, he’s healthy, he likes to play “chasey-hide-and-pounce”, so he’s keeping me fit too running around the apartment. I do want to invest in one of those cat-wheels, a biiiiig one, but I’m afraid it would be a waste if he isn’t interested.
I love him.
Oh Mickey you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow mind, hey Mickey, hey Mickey
