looks at next week's forecast good old Melbourne "autumn", which really starts in late March or early April

As long as we don't get a 30 degree day in April I'm happy

We just did Hoopla in South Morang. It's a good play centre. Plenty going on and enough to keep the kids busy.

We'll have to go again because their ticketing isn't very clear and I bought tickets for ourselves as well. They credited back the difference so that's a free trip

quiz

25/50 and apparently that's better than average.

[–] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 5 points 5 days ago (3 children)

40/50, which I find myself very pleased with

15/50 and apparently that's worse than average. By which they presumably mean the average of all people doing the quiz, as its pretty standard for my own personal average.

I'm glad I'm not the only 15!

Almost finished the bag, noticed I screwed it up and unraveled

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

( we have all done this, the public only sees the things we finish, not the ones we undid )

Wow it’s still so warm. I’m someone that needs a blanket though so I wish I had one of those thin cotton blankets.

I could crochet one now I’ve learned a bit but think of how long it would take and the price of the yarn. Cotton yarn does cost more than the bog standard acrylic

Edit: Huh. They sell literal cooling blankets
