I've organised meals for the next two days (back at work ☹️) but have still not worked out what to have for dinner tonight. Maybe some fish, I haven't had that for a while.

Docklands certainly helping its reputation for being windy AF this evening! She's got a bit of a breeze on!

Cake is in oven. Estimated cooking finish time 1620hrs. The oven won't let me put in a time longer than 2 hours. Even technology has a short attention span these days.

Edit: Cake is now out of the oven, has been brushed with brandy and is cooling down under a foil cover. Next step involves more brandy and a thorough wrapping before putting it away to mature. A good rich fruit cake is a preserve, not a dessert. I will probably start eating this one in the latter half of next year.

I'm very conflicted as to whether to get a rug for the lounge room. I have hybrid flooring on a light golden wood pattern. I'm concerned adding a rug, even a bigger one will chop up the room and make it look smaller. And I question whether it would add anything since the flooring already looks nice.

Buy a cheap Kmart rug and see how it looks before investing in a better one?

How do you reduce the vibration intensity on an iPhone? I feel the vibration is too strong and anxiety inducing...

Thanks mate. I tried setting it to 0 to compare but it doesn't seem to be working 😢

I just attempted to book a cab from near one end of the CBD to the other and was quoted near $50 due to peak time.

You can bet I cancelled that.

I just finished watching Last Stop Larrimah. If ever there was a bunch of ragtag misfits, it would be the residents of Larrimah. Jfc.

They all hate each other, but no-ones seems want to to leave

Did you know for a mere $750 you can advertise for Red Rooster on some basic-ass Nike shoes as worn by "celebs" and friends of Red Rooster such as Kyle Sandilands? Someone needs to pinch me so I know I'm not dreaming of this incredible bargain!

bloody hell filament sellers are taking the piss. Here's hoping the ebay mob I found just around the corner have decent stuff.
