So I put all my gifts and purchases (since 2018) on a poorly formatted spreadsheet (I can only do sums) so I can track what I bought in previous years and how much, etc. I just like to see it all laid out like that. Also a reminder to not double up on presents from previous years.

I love Christmas but also I can’t wait ‘til it’s over so I can do nothing. Nothing at all.

Seems there’s a security guard at the main entrances to Sydney Westfield, which I don’t think are there usually. Out of an abundance of caution, I imagine.

I don’t know if it’s just the end of the year or because of yesterday but my bus to the station, and train into the city was so quiet. More quiet than usual.

Australia has had strict laws on gun control since the late 90s. But the system is a lot looser than people think, with some big loopholes allowing long guns to be bought legally www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Australia had the ‘gold standard’ on gun control. The Bondi beach terror attack will force it to confront its surging number of weapons
There are now more guns in the community per capita than in the aftermath of the Port Arthur massacre, with at least 2,000 new firearms lawfully entering the community every week

How did he have so many??
The 50-year-old Bondi beach terror suspect who died was a licensed firearms holder, and had six firearms, NSW police say. Police have the six firearms from the scene yesterday. His 24yo son is in police custody in hospital in a critical but stable condition.

When I saw the news on reddit I thought it was a joke or satire or parody because it did not feel like a real thing that could happen here. I don't have the tv on the news so all I have is what is online and I still quite can't believe it. What a fking awful way to end the year.

My usual morning coffee places just raised their price by 50 cents. I went there a couple of days ago and thought the new person had made a mistake and now there’s a little sign explaining why. I’m loyal so I’ll probably stick with it and also everywhere is all about the same price now.
