Gardening Australia is slowing down. I gave it a poke.

This community is a place created for the people of Melbourne and Victoria. We are a positive, welcoming and inclusive community. We might not agree about everything, but we always strive to stay civil and respectful.
The focus of our discussions is based around things that effect Victoria, but we are also free to discuss our local perspective on wider issues. Or head to the regular Daily Random Discussion thread to talk about anything.

Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
I've worked what I want for my birthday. A microphone. One that's compatible with the pioneer. The best of the best because I'm worth it.
Soooo when a road that people live on gets closed for roadworks, are they meant to like... tell the people that live on it? Because the first I'm hearing of them ripping up and repaving our road is when they parked a gigantic machine in front of our driveway at 7am that's making an absolute shit ton of noise. The housemate has a car that nobody told him he wouldn't be able to take out of the driveway either...
It's not on VicTraffic, they never put anything in our letterbox, and the council's project construction page says nothing's happening in the area
My pavement gets ripped up seemly every 2 months. Sometimes itโs gas, sometimes telecoms, sometimes fixing the mess the last lot made. Never any notice and they block the only way out of the building.
I usually get a letter telling me they're doing road works of some sort in my area. I can't remember who they came from though.
Bit bummed that covid means I've had to give away my ticket to the Arsenal women's game tonight. Boo.
Pretty sure I'm meant to be working hard, I have a lot of things to do, but instead I'm just aimlessly staring out the window or refreshing my feeds. It's been a long week.
Just had the MMJ convo with a Candor doc. Got prescribed some strains. Asked for three to be passed to TGA for approval.
Curious to hear about your experience. My appointment with Dr Bhangoo is on Monday morning, not sure what to expect.
Let's talk snacks. My favourite quick snacks:
Hot pockets
Sao, butter, tomato, cheese, p&s
Jatz/topz/ritz/savoy/ butter, Salmon & lobster spread/anchovette spread/Vegemite
Jatz/topz/ritz/savoy/ butter sardines
Jattz/topz/ritz/savoy butter and pate
Cruskits butter, smoked salmon, cucumber, sour cream, fish roe.
Popcorn
I'm sure there's more. Can't think right now. What's your favourites?
Iโm basic and lazy. For meals I like to put effort in, but snacks need to be instant. Fruit, slice of cheese, nuts, crackers, biscuits. If Iโm feeling particularly energetic I might have a carrot with some dip. But I donโt faff around with making carrot sticks, just slice on the diagonal and dip in. I actually think itโs better slicing like this because more surface area to scoop the dip.
I binged Fallout in 2 nights. Iโve never played the game so I have no comments on its authenticity, but it was a fun escapist watch. Built up the mystery in each episode to keep me clicking Next Episode.

Toy sales should start next month. There are nonessential things I want to get the boys. And maybe myself whilst I'm there
