NOOOOOOOOO that’s my favourite lolly shop! Although she doesn’t take card and that has annoyed me.

Wow the music down at the Firelight festival is louder than any music I’ve ever heard from any event and that includes NYE celebrations. Usually the music barely registers with me but it’s proper loud. Yelling get out of my yard from the balcony has proven unsuccessful. Stupid festival. Might go down there soon just coz though.
Agreed. It sparked the vigilante in me and a lot of others in there.
Oh I forgot to mention something from the kiddos music students performance thingo on the weekend which I noticed. 95-05 era fashion is BACK!! The kids looked like they were transported directly from my youth. Baggy/grungy looks are in, which pleases me as it was the most comfortable time to look cool.
Happy Birthday! 🎉🎉🎉
I was just thinking… imagine heaven like they show in movies and shows and stuff where there are people in white clothes up amongst the clouds with harps and stuff. Except imagine the weather is like it actually is at that altitude. Just super windy and really cold.
Anyway just thinking about my grandad. Miss you, pop.
I had a super vivid dream that I was really really high and tripping out. High in both senses because I was laying on the roof of a tall apartment building and it seemed to be bending over to tip me off. I felt the actual fear and that feeling you get of when you’re about to fall off something but had to keep trying to tell myself it was in my head but it wasn’t working. I was holding on for my life!
It was my niece’s dance thingo today. Her first time on stage. Her and 3 other pre-school aged kids and it was just as you’d imagine it to be.
When they were led out onto the stage by their teacher at the start of the song, one of the little girls immediately jumped off the stage, ran to her grandma in the front row and opted out. This was after she’d been having a great time rolling around on the stage before the event started. There was a little boy who just stood on the stage and stared at his family looking mildly upset. Another little girl at least had a go but wasn’t paying much attention to the teacher who was leading them and then finally my niece was actually trying her hardest to follow the teacher’s moves. She was the best!
We stayed for about half a dozen or so more music students’ performances who were older and did things like play guitar, play drums along to Metallica/ACDC/RHCP songs, sing and play piano. A little boy played the first 3rd of Bohemian Rhapsody on the grand piano almost flawlessly. Kid would have been like 8 tops I think, but I’m not great with guessing ages. Super impressive. The whole thing was to get the kids performing in front of people so they all messed up at various points, which is fine. They pushed through and got to the end of their performances.
Then my niece decided that she wanted to leave so we ducked out of there before she could really passionately start stating her intentions for the exit.
I should really set more things on fire. It’s so lovely.
The Docklands one? It’s pretty shit lol My apartment looks down on where it’s held and each year I pop down purely to say that I did but just keep your expectations real low.
It is indeed free so might as well check it out if you’re not doing anything, even just to say you did.
Yeah as a social event I think it’s worth it. If I went by myself I probably wouldn’t think so. It’s a cute couples/family thing, good memories together.
I have returned from the Lightscape thing. I haven’t walked that far or up so many hills for… way too long. I am very sore.
Event was a nice family-friendly affair where we’re shuffled through the gardens like cattle. Some of it was kinda meh but other bits had really cool effects. Pretty great food and drink options. Not as blatantly expensive as it could have been for that stuff. I was there with my sister, bro in law and niece.
Pretty pricey tickets though. A little cheaper on a weeknight.
I’m going to Lightscape at the Botanic Gardens (https://www.lightscapeaustralia.com/city/melbourne.html) this evening.
The real question is… sativa or indica? It’s a tough one.
I now have some fruit and nut muesli and yellowbox honey yoghurt
This has made me ravenous. I haven’t had anything today. Not even a drink of water.
I see pommes being a part of my weekend.
Totally agree. I can imagine there’s like 15 people who’d be like “oh yeah my dad used to work in that tower I think” who might have the slightest nostalgia for it. If it was the tower which welcomed in the first ships to Melbourne or something I’d be better with it but it’s just a piece of industry from 57 years ago which happens to be tall.

Does anybody care about a decommissioned control tower from 1966?? What a waste of money.
I have photographic evidence of possibly the exact moment when my brain flipped from being interested in ninja turtles to being interested in ladies.
This is me and a 24 or 25 (I think) year old Kylie Minogue at my dad’s work xmas party one year. Judging by my style/pudgy face I’m going to say it was around 1993 or 1994. I hadn’t seen this photo in decades but my mum sent it to me over the weekend.
I’ll still be in shorts. Probably put my slippers on though.
Hey look, fire.
Now it’s like you’ve been to the festival! Plus imagine yourself lining up for a $25 pulled pork or beef roll.
