          True. But you really have to be careful to balance out the salt in vegemite. Worcestershire sauce has spice & umami but a whole lot less salt so I find it easier to use, especially by the splosh measurement. One of my faves is to dribble it on hot buttered brussels sprouts.

    gave five guys another go today. Second time for them and holy shit the bacon is so bloody good! Took a lacteeze so I could get that sweet sweet plastic cheese as well. Thats what I was missing the first time. Incredible! 30 something bucks for the bacon cheeseburger, small chips and a coke though. a rare treat then.

          For a $30 burger meal it better fucking be good. Easeys was $22 for a burger and I’m never going back.

    I definitely listed my coffee grinder too low when I put it on Marketplace (leading to a huge number of responses). I put it on eBay late afternoon yesterday for more than twice that amount and it has sold already. I guess those things hold their value more than other small appliances. And I almost took it to the op shop instead of bothering to list it!

      That’s good to keep in mind. I have a cafe level grinder I’ve been meaning to sell but I’ve been worried about listing it too cheaply

    Today was a weird day. Whenever I leave the house, I ask myself if I’ve forgotten anything material or just my sanity. Today I said just my sanity, but I felt off about that.

    I was almost at the bus stop when I realised I forgot my earbuds. Not a necessity, but I wasn’t going to spend half an hour walking home and back to the bus stop to get my earbuds, and miss the bus. They are not super frequent, and sometimes they arrive at the stop a few minutes early. So I got some cheap wired ones, and realised that was a waste of money. Should’ve just looked out the window.

    I must bring a notebook to write in when commuting.

      It’s good to switch off sometimes. No ear buds. Let your mind wander, it’s very healing.
