Anyone see this comment on the other DT yesterday? "Unpopular opinion but I think the daily thread is better post mass exodus of former regulars" How rude! lol
I did not know that! I just read something about him using Melbourne as his base. Doing a gig in Moorabbin makes more sense now!
Going to see Arj Barker tonight. Surprised at the choice of venue for an international comedy superstar - Moorabbin Arts Centre - but looking forward to it :)
My Win 11 laptop keeps trying to force me to try 'New Outlook' instead of the default Mail app. I'd do it, but currently Mail is an aggregate for multiple email accounts for my small biz and I can't risk stuffing them all up migrating the accounts
On the topic of Tolkien, this morning I was going through some old books that were still in boxes from moving house last year. Found a copy of The Adventures of Tom Bombadill which I've had for decades, I remember my grandmother used to read it to me when I was a kid in the 70's. Well, it turns out that this little hardback is a first edition print from 1962 (UK release) and some are selling online for $700+, one seller had a copy up for $1100!
No plans to sell it, but I should probably take a bit more care with it :)
Bought a rotisserie chook yesterday, had the marylands with chips, veg and gravy last night, and shredded the rest up with some other veg to make tacos tonight. The chook looked tiny, but we still have enough leftover to make chicken mayo sandwiches for lunch tomorrow.. All up I reckon it was $50 for three meals for two.
