Bloody hell. I'm taking this all the way to the Prime Minister!
Went to sleep in the foothills of the Dandenongs. With all the noise last night, surprised the house isn't now in Kansas...
Five-year-old woke up at 3:30am upset from all the noise, and that was pretty much the end of our sleep for the night!
Everything appeared intact this morning at least. Dream drive in to work, nobody on the roads - I'm very jealous of the WFH-brigade!!!

So have a nap.
ZEN FIRE ZE MISSILES!
It's OK I thought today was 1997
Oh man don't get me started on Oporto.
Picture it, late 1990's. @mysticgreg is working in Sydney and living in the southern suburbs, right near one of the early Oporto stores. IT WAS GLORIOUS. Double-Bondi burgers with tender, juicy chicken fillets bigger than your head, and chilli hot enough to melt the paper they came in. Rappas so good they would launch you into another dimension.
Time moves on, I return to Victoria. Decades later I stumble upon an Oporto and think OH YES, IT HAS RETURNED TO MY LIFE. I order. I unwrap the food. I look confused. I taste it. I cry. I mourn. I leave.
It is but a shadow of its former self :(
Ungrateful for my inability to break out of my epic decade-long-stuck-in-the-same-role career rut that has me dreading coming into work each day.
I'll wave to you from my box fort.

Welp, time to grab the pitchforks and drive Jack to the border.
The one that really stuck with me from this whole discussion was "Youβve kind of shot yourself in the foot there, can you please not bleed on my kitchen floor?".
You're definitely doing the right thing by doing your best not to get pulled into the drama.

I also like this because:
a) PACKIDGE!
ii) It's the first screenshot from a phone I've seen in ages where the battery isn't at 4% remaining and I'm silently anxiously screaming CHARGE YOUR DAMN PHONE! π
