Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Tomorrow marks a week since I moved into the new place. I’m feeling so much better, and feel like I’m in a much more healthy place mentally than I was in the last place. And honestly, a lot of it is just the little things, like being home alone, and having access to knives, and administering my own medication

Hey folks, have any of you played Outer Wilds and if so how was it?
I trusted you, Goddess. I could have hung up my laundry indoors last night, but I remembered your comment saying today was going to be 18 degrees. So I waited and hung out my stuff on the line this mroning and it dried perfectly throughout the day. So - thanks! I’m glad I held off instead of having clothes cram up my house. Cheers!
Well, the Goddess of sunshine does have full control of the weather.
Not exactly full control…
Spewing that I’m not in great physical condition now and can’t really garden. Seed libraries are around if anyone wants to try it.
Also I’m not sure of the heavy metal in the soil (the tested map sites on either side vary) so I’d have to do raised beds which don’t move house well. And if I went outside the furry baby would either be crying inside or follow me out and take the chance to abscond. Melbcat’s a fully indoor kitty now.
I know that leafy veg have shallow roots and require less light so maybe that’s a go, window box inside. Maybe more cat grass. Paris Market carrots are also very short and round for containers, I think root veg also need less light than fruiting plants. But I have to fork out more for either self watering pots or watering spikes for bottles because I’m not going to remember.
It all adds up at Bunnings 💸 But I’m just trying to think of something constructive but not overwhelming while I feel like shit
You can get soil samples tested for free in Victoria with the Gardensafe program. You just need to pay for the postage to them.
oh gees, that scene in Castaway where Chuck finally escapes the island on his raft. For the first time since the crash there is music. The heart swells. 🥺🥺🥺 Such a good movie.
Spoilers?!
it’s an old movie
Doesn’t mean everyone’s seen it.
Ha! Dodged COVID despite spending all day yesterday with someone who unknowingly had it.
If I remember correctly, covid does take a few days to display symptoms and show up on a rapid antigen test.
Ah… thank you for the heads up.
Guess I’m WFH tomorrow.
Just do some RATs in the morn and evening, you should be able to get some for free from your local council library. :)
It is fricking beautiful outside! Bring on summer!
You’re joking, right.
