    I have made it to Ballarat. Looking at the traffic going into the city I am glad I wasn’t travelling the other way.

    I have hot air coming from my ceiling vents, and hot water comes out of the taps. The internet is internetting. Now I need to do a bit of cleaning and start making the place look more like a home.

      Recently had an elderly neighbour die, all his belongings turfed onto the street for collection including Narnia books and other long owned sentimental books/VHS. Had to collect it before it got rained on or collected to go to the op shop that was only 200m away.

    It was meant to be! Salmon was on special. I was tired but I painstakingly picked the watercress, made the salad with apple and a lemon dressing (painful with a cut finger), and heaped some delicious pre-made potato stuff. A fine dinner to the end the week on!

    although that salmon is cooooked

      I’d suggest dumplings but I don’t think they’d make the trip.

      Some decent tea perhaps.

      Gotta make sure it’s okay biosecurity wise, but tea straight from the motherland would be awesome.

    Has anyone else noticed Bonds stuff is shit these days?

    I used to be able to rely on them for fairly good quality clothes but yeah. Stuff falls apart really quickly now.

      Haven’t bought Bonds in years because it’s now overpriced and the last time I checked them out the cuts were really weird

      Complete shit. Mostly the underwear. And vastly overpriced for the ‘quality’. Don’t even bother with their socks/underpants - go to Kmart/Target for those. Kmart has good bamboo fibre socks, my last lot from there has lasted about 3 years on high rotation which is good for socks I reckon. Bonds still has reasonable trackie daks and hoodies.

      As colour isnt as good as it used to be either. Step ones are complete crap too! I’m wearing uniqlo and wayver stuff a fair bit lately for a combination of cost and seems to last ok.

          SAME! they are my main go to. But yeah quality just aint as good as it used to be. Mind you its still better than the cheap country road crap I brought at the same time, and better than bigw/kmart junk. But the Wayver have lasted better so far. Uniqlo airism still beats them all but I find fairly limited colours.

      It’s awful. The fabric is tissue thin and the elastic in the underpants stretches out of shape within 6 months. I am completely happy paying a premium price for good quality basics, I just which I could find some! My money is available for any brands willing to make a decent product. I suspect there’s little incentive though, because dirt cheap material costs and frequent repurchase is probably more profitable than higher quality and lasts longer. The modern economy has deemed I must wear shit undies.

      I definitely noticed they have cheaped out with the manufacturing. Fewer pockets, sticky zippers and lighter fabric weights.

      The chesty singlets are still the same, twice the price. The jocks on sale 5for$10 tend to last me ~4 years. I haven’t tried anything else of theirs. The trunks went to shit ten years ago, elastic gave up after six months.

        I bought the bonds trunks and they got a rip in them barely 6 months later.

    Hey, shit sleep club is popping off. I did go to bed very early. And took a magnesium pill w/dinner to combat muscle soreness. Maybe a familiar movie will bore my brain into more sleep.

      I did the same re: super early bed and magnesium tablet.

      I’m going to get some restavit tomorrow from the chemist to see if it knocks me out for a full 8 hours.

      Shit, even 6 hours uninterrupted would be a god send.

      Want some merch?

      The fact that “Essentials” hoodies with a similar font can sell for $100 bewilders me.
