Just finished watching the first 3 episodes of Gen V, which is a The Boys spin-off show on Amazon Prime. So far it is excellent! I was a little worried at first because I don't tend to gel with 'teen' shows at my ancient age of 40 but the satire, the characters and the story are hitting nicely.
Break time MOOPSY EP
What a banger of a day off. I haven't been able to pry myself away from the city because it's just buzzing in here. Definitely a Melbourne city showcase kind of day.
Got on a rental scooter and scooted to DFO South Wharf, then went up along the Yarra to Southgate and switched over to the city side bike track and came back. Loads of people out so I did a lot of fancy slow speed maneuvering to finesse my way through the swarms. I dodged families, footy fans and a random furry. Impeccable day outside.
Scooted back to Docklands, installed my new phone holder and charger in my car and have driven out to Melbourne Bakehouse on Bay St where I currently sit at the street facing window seat with a curry pie, cinnamon doughnut and a strawberry Big M thinking about what to do next.
Where's the best pie bakery you can think of within a couple of hours drive of the CBD?
Closer to home, I know the South Melbourne Bakery does a good one.. I could just go down there I guess.
These people are good. I go to the one in Queenscliff sometimes: https://www.rollingpin.com.au/
They even won a few made up bogus awards. They are good pies though.
Not specifically a pie shop, but Redbeard bakery in Trentham does awesome pies and sausage rolls as well as breads and pastries.
Going to make today my 1) try and catch up on my knitting, now that I'm working I've fallen behind on my temperature blanket, though I don't think I'll catch up to September/October by today because man this blanket is long and I'm in July. 2) Pack for PAX. Obviously I live in Melbourne so it's not like I'm taking a plane, but it's much easier to book a place in the city where it takes maybe 5 or 10 minute walk to the Convention Centre than coming from home when I have early morning starts.

Have to get up on the ladder just to check the gutters and things before the incoming rain in a few days.
Chatting to a few people over the last few weeks who've recently bought a house they all complained about water damage and gutters.
