Heading to Melbourne next week. Any good/big used books stores around? I can travel to where ever around the Melbourne area (staying near Greensborough for reference though)
The Robinsons bookshop in Greensborough Plaza is fairly decent. Not big, but a step up from those bullshit discount “books for less” shops.
I love the Book Grocer. They have cheap new, not popular books but they also have second hand books. Northcote would be the closest one to Greensborough.
I'll check them out. Thanks.
The Savers at Greensborough (near station) usually has a pretty good selection - I've found some gems there. Like a 1st edition of Modesitt's Fall of Angels. Salvos and Brotherhood and Vinnies also does 2nd hand books. Alice's in Rathdowne St Carlton is niche, and pretty exxy. The absolute best is Craddocks in Collins St in the city - huge range but exxy plus. Glorious shop though - worth a visit even if you don't buy.

Shout it to the late teen/early 20 something doing the walk of shame at 6am this morning. I saw you but I doubt you saw my smirk so I just wanted you to know I was proud.
I have never understood why that is called the walk of shame and not the walk of triumph. Go you glorious late teen/early 20 something! Live your best life!

hmm flies come up from the sink?
dump a pile o' bicarb down there, follow it with a giant slosh of vinegar, jam the plugs in and hold them down so it all fizzles downwards then shittons of hot water
thank you brb gonna get a plug (I somehow don't have one)
Generally that's when you call an exorcist.
Can I just steal holy water from a nearby church
Not effective. Beelzebub is a perfectly respectable god, if you are an ancient Carthaginian. And is the victim of a two millennia long gaslighting campaign. Should not happen to a dog.

Drano is your friend here. Or bicarb with a vinegar chaser and lots & lots of hot hot hot water. The flies have been feeding on detritus down there. I got cutworm larvae coming up through the drain in my shower until I used Drano. For this, nasty chemicals are permitted I reckon.
