This place feels like moving into a new home and having to use a bowl to drink your first coffee because you haven’t found the mugs yet

But you love it and the mugs are around somewhere
Randomly the screen goes from portrait to landscape even while on the same screen. It’s super annoying and it’s why I haven’t been on here much. This is my current view and I can’t see what I’m typing or buttons. Until there is an iPad specific app I can’t be on here @bsky.app @support.bsky.team

The app is glitching hard this weekend, which is why I haven’t been online.

Nothing thus far has fixed it.

Ping any melbourne peeps who know Kew well.

There’s a place that won’t sell and I really want to know why. They’ve dropped the price about 80k since first listed

Stop! If you see this post, repost with your cat(s)!

Chewlie: These are from a while back. She's in the bad books today though because she won't eat her food, yet keeps pretending like she hasn't been fed to try and get wet food.

Caution, even in winter times, leaving your cats by the window can lead to melting...

I thoroughly check grocery receipts and catalogues and make lists and look for every special and discount. Return things that aren’t good.

It physically hurts me to pay full price
What “old person” thing do you do?

I put a selfie of mine that’s already online through the canva business headshot AI tool and the result is creepy AF! It looks like me but not.

I get ambulance cover through my union membership – worth checking out if your union offers it and you're not yet a member.

If ppl take out ambulance cover direct in SA there is a pensioner discount. If no cover is in place there is both fee reduction and financial hardship options. saambulance.sa.gov.au/membership/a... Billing (cost) is the highest level of complaints.
Ambulance Cover | SA Ambulance Service
Ambulance cover is available for South Australians to help cover the costs associated with the treatment and transport by SA Ambulance.

It’s really important to check insurance coverage and limits. As well as ambulance cover limits. Retrievals plus long road transports ain’t cheap either!

Qld. We occasionally vote for sub optimal pollies (& grow a few of our own) but ambo cover has been automatic for residents for as long as I can recall.
And it extends to reciprocal care when interstate.
Qlders who move often learn the hard way this is not uniform across Oz

NSW also requires you to have private insurance. Victoria still allows you to be a member for a decent fee, but AFAIK that doesn’t give you reciprocality in other states.

I had an intrusive thought that led me to google ambulance cover for each state in Australia

South Australia doesn’t even cover pensioners compareclub.com.au/health-insur...

Massive 18 hour day!! I feel absolutely knackered.

Up at 3am my time, outside waiting for Uber at 4, at the airport just before 5am, landed in Adelaide at 7am their time, meeting the new team all day, left Adelaide at 5:40pm and home in melbourne at 9pm my time.

I’m old. I feel old. I look old 😭
