I was shown an ad to an electric note device. You write by touch and erase by pressing a single button. Reviews said accidental writing and erasing happened often, and once the battery runs out there's no way to use it anymore. It inspired me to buy this: https://www.kmart.com.au/product/mini-magnetic-draw-board-assorted-43112357
very useful when I want to write 5 words but don't feel like it's important enough for a post-it. No electricity needed, no accidental writing, quarter of the price, and fall damage resistant.

Looks fun. Not every problem needs a Rolls Royce solution. Cheap and simple is often the most environmentally friendly too. A basic white board could also do the trick.
Apparently it's still 27 degrees outside. I might go out for a bit of a scoot.
Scooted along the Yarra from Docklands to Swan St bridge and back then around the marina/New Quay and back home. Did some fancy maneuvering. That was fun. Lots of people out enjoying each other's company.
joe sun means good morning in my language
but joe moon doesn’t make sense
Look, I know Coldplay is a bit naff these days, but goddamn I love Parachutes... And also that Fix You song, especially when the guitar riff kicks in.
House to myself for the first time in wks. I watched a movie on loud. 😊

Ok let's play a game.
I am old enough to remember when...........(you fill in the blank. You can have as many goes as you like coz it's Friday and it's hot)
The only eggs in the carton were white. Occasionally there was a brown one, which got left last because it was scary.
I feel like I'm going to be one of the youngest ones here, but I am old enough to remember when installing things on your computer the window would be full screen and have a blue background.
(I was going to mention dial up, or renting from Video Ezy/Blockbuster, but they're too easy and also my local Blockbuster went out in like 2016 or 2017?)
Beautiful morning. Think I will go for a walk in the park. 😊
Speaking of serial killers, if there are any Fincher fans here, “The Killer” premiers on Netflix today.
Going on radio again tomorrow and I found out today that the 3/3a tram doesn't go through St Kilda any more. So now I have to go to Malvern 😭 to catch a tram.
Though tomorrow afterwards my sister is having her birthday dinner at a KBBQ place (which I'm pumped for but also jealous because I wanted to do KBBQ for my dinner last year but mum didn't want to do that) so mum suggested that she can drive me to St Kilda. So whoo!
Ah dang it. Minipeelers want to see the FNAF movie but it's rated M. Knowing them (they love jump scares and horror themes) they could handle it, but they aren't legally allowed to so they are more than a little upset about it!
I have just learned Diwali is on Sunday. I think I will use it as inspiration to put up my new garden lights.
