Hello friends. Amid all the shit unfolding in the world, some good news from me. We've upgraded from being slightly indebted to pay off an apartment to being in even greater debt to pay off a house. Which is to say, we bought a house last Saturday. It's only 10 minutes' walk from where we currently live, so we still get all the benefits of Collingwood. Thinking about you all during these very parlous times. You're the first people I check in on every morning I arrive at my office at work.
I'm going to task my sister, who contracts for your city government as an urban planner, with giving me a breakdown of your neighborhood. Best of luck. ^^ minor comedy But also, 'grats on the house. Now when you look at kleinbl00's water damage restoration project, you can feel terrible new things, as a homeowner!
No kidding? Your sister is an urban planner for Melbourne City Council? There's a non zero chance she's a colleague of a friend of mine.
Yep, no kidding! Nothing would surprise me less than finding out our circles meet pretty quick in that network. Play a game of find-the-Texan. edit: Kindly requesting, please don't name her here, if you find her. But I will tell you, and this is true, her secret codename is "Betsy"
What is “Adult Day Centre” from the street sign image on that page? I can’t determine if it’s a social housing program thing or a bar! Congrats on the house!
I think it's one of those social centre places where elderly can go during the day to stay part of the community. Think child care except the opposite end of the age spectrum and they're going there voluntarily. There's no shortage of bars for them to visit on the way, though.
im glad they also have the bars as an option! man do we really have anything like that here in the states? not sure if there’s a 1:1, that’s cool that yall have that.
The really cool thing is Men's Sheds. There's one in every country town.
INCREDIBLE. I don’t think Trump/MAGA happens if we had a system like that.
