Based on the enthusiastic response to my coffee grinder listing on marketplace I think I can safely say I underpriced it. I had about 25 replies within a couple of hours last night and woke up to another 20, most of which are wanting to come and collect ASAP.

Edit: FFS. I've taken the listing down and one of them messaged me on the listing for one of my other items to try and get a reply. He's now blocked.

I got a shellacking. Sitting outside now. It's nice.

Experiment time. I have no aeroguard on but let's see.

Went to BigW for socks and crocks. Came back with pedals and scales. I needed pedals and scales. They were sold out of large wool socks. The fake crocks were a terrible fit.

First world problems here.

It's my homeless week at work. Someone's using my workspace today so I can't settle down there early and I've had to move rooms twice already just to have my "breakfast".

Also missed out on car parking today so I've had to park down the street, really sucks having to haul my stuff because I don't have anywhere secure to keep this stuff week to week.

Anyway tired and grumpy so far.

I can somewhat understand employers wanting employees to work together in the office, but I can't understand how they don't realise that means they need to provide usable office space for everyone.
