I had to learn the hard way on the insisting front - and my brother never did. Caused a lot of stress to everyone.

There are loops, but I for one would not use them for overnight storage. Agree that all that area is dodgy. The Epworth Hospital might be a better bet in that area - good cctv at least but there a lot of crazy drivers in a hurry and hunting a parking spot. And you see some really creative parking too. I’m talking about the Erin St entrance, not the Bridge Road one. Getting off Wellington Parade is a good idea - there are parking spots in East Melbourne side streets and it’s a nicer area. Most of the inhabitants are not bike people so some tact in where you park your bike would be required.

Thanks, that’s an interesting article. Have seen this in action before, but didn’t know it was a potential diagnosis.

Isn’t that PTSD, or is there a difference??? I’m asking cos I just don’t know.

The docs gave me some advice about my Mum when her health and cognitive processes started to go haywire - don’t forbid anything, don’t insist on anything except her pills. Let her drive the process of coming back to life, after a major shock to her system. I suspect your Mum is having a serious self-re-assessment from old healthy person who is essentially OK, to old not-so-healthy person who needs help. This is major major shift. Takes time.

5/10 - a couple of lucky guesses, but more unlucky ones. Story of my life.

Dunno where you’d park it. Given the proximity to the MCG, just chaining it to a fence isn’t going to cut it with the council not to mention all the passers by. You might have better luck around West Richmond station. Even though the station is a pain to use with a bike due to the severe curve.

Was that the adjustment to align the julian and gregorian calendars??? Cos it happened a lot later in the UK than everywhere else - like 200 years or so and was finally done in April I vaguely recollect from history lessons.

Please note that the pigeon may not be eaten for dinner. Even though squab as a meat is freakin’ delicious - particularly when baked in clay in your campfire.

Then we will communicate by carrier pigeon. Written with a quill pen - not from the pigeon cos then it couldn’t fly with no feathers. 🐥🐦🦆🦉🐓🦃🦅🦜🦚📝

A word from an experienced bike commuter. Get your city end parking sorted first if taking the bike all the way. Most stations have bike cages now - these are easy and cheap and most have cctv and are somewhat protected from the weather, but not from fellow bike cage users. Battery theft (for ebikes) is becoming a real problem from bike cages so plan on removing the battery and taking it with you should you use this facility. Some bike cages have basic bike repair tools available nearby (inner city).

A wise decision.

Thank you Chef. I particularly liked the third from the left. The second from the bottom needed anchovies for true perfection but was perfectly edible - even tasty. The top right hand one - delicious, certainly innovative, but was rhubarb really the wisest choice?

Ginger powder sounds wunnderful. Yep you can do a full body wrap of the basin with the knot on top, but string only also works. Any paper (not newspaper) will work for the cover if greased up with butter. Baking paper doesn’t need greasing so much.

Got no argument on the recipie - it’s very similar to the one I use. But. They left a lot out in terms of method. Feel free to ignore this if you already know the details.
too much information
Where it says ‘cover with baking paper’ - it means butter the paper well, put a finger width pleat in that cover paper, then add a similarly pleated sheet of tinfoil on top and tie around just under the rim of the pudding basin with string - there’s a reason pudding basins have a substantial rim. It’s a good idea to make a handle by tying the ends of the string together over the top - this greatly eases removing the pudding from the water later without burned fingies. The pleat prevents the pudding from exploding and covering the kitchen with hot golden syrup. Ask me how I know. No don’t. It’s embarrassing. And I had guests over at the time. Set a timer to check for more boiling water every 15 mins - and ONLY add water that’s freshly boiling from the kettle. I like using a stockpot rather than a saucepan - and use a shallow trivet on the bottom under the basin for better water circulation.

Does she wear tight/fashionable/high heeled shoes? Was I wearing such, I’d wait a million years for a bus rather than walk and cripple myself. If, on the other hand, she wears comfy shoes - that’s a different dynamic.

Heart goes out to you Racer. Navigating this will be a challenge for anyone. We are here for support and venting. There is still a chance that your mum will recover more than present situation too. Sending healing vibes.
You’ll need to be there for your dad too - sounds like he might need someone to model how to be human/emotional too. Which is lot to ask but there’s not a chance in hell that he’ll seek outside professional advice methinks. - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🌧 Monday, November 18, 2024 4 days ago:
ABC news has a story that Alan Jones has been arrested on indecent assault charges spanning 20 years. About time.

It’s the sort of comment that might have motivated him as a young man, and may be motivational for your twin, but definitely is not effective as a motivator for you. And as your parent he should have seen that a lot earlier.

2-3 years until the viruses build up and kill them. They winter over just fine if you mulch them, or let Mother Nature do the mulching. Also, by the end of 2 years, all the local slugs & snails have them logged on their google maps so fruit quantity drops off dramatically unless you feel like being snailicidal.

Never ever eaten one. So I don’t know. Judging by the packaging, it’s not something I would spend money on.

Interesting thing just happened. I was in the middle of writing a reply, but the time stamp said that I had responded 5 minutes ago. Yes, it was the time stamp for that reply. I checked.
This means that the DT is actually a portal that allows time travel into the future. Albeit not very much future. Not enough for stock market speculation, dammit. Has anyone else had this happen to them?
