After doomscrolling on the couch for nearly 5 hours I peeled myself away while I had a carshare still available to go stock up on some plant goodies.

  1. It was like motherfucking Queensland outside, gross
  2. Does anyone do 80 in the reduced speed section of the M3? I was very confused.
  3. Can't fucking recognise Bulleen Road after a year, holy shit. The roads are HUGE. The big old tree in front of the servo didn't avoid the chop, huh. I need to update myself on this whole project.
  4. It's criminal how easily I can hand over my money to BAAG
  5. Visited new Preston Bunnings as well and kinda like the new vibe compared to the dustiness of the old one; very happy about the plant pot dropoff, have excitedly cleared my balcony of accumulated pots

Tomorrow I want to doomscroll a lot less and get some major gardening going after months of mostly bare minimum. A lot of repotting, massive soil refreshment, resuscitating dried out potting mix, desperately need to move the manzano somewhere more sheltered, and I'm gonna try these basil seedlings in the hot big planter box and hope I repeat my success from 2 years ago and get half a litre of pesto out of them.

I drive the 80 zone on the M3 every day, twice a day. It amazes me the people that just fly through. It's not that hard to do the speed limit?

People seem to think that if it's a temporary limit (but for months), there's no obvious roadworks, and no cameras/cops, they'll do the original speed anyway. See: 60 zone on West Gate Fwy...

Many don't care that the emergency lane is gone so it has to be 80, nothing gets in the way of their usual commute!

I'm so relieved I don't need to do that drive for work any more
