I can’t believe Dr Dark McBane is running for Premier of Victoria… and he’s actually going to win. The polls show that he’s way ahead of Premier Norris. Are you all serious? I understand that Premier Norris has done some terrible things over the last few years, but his competition is a literal megalomaniac who […]
Today I went to a conference in the heart of Melbourne, which had people from different businesses giving a summary of their work and the projects they’re tackling at the moment. It was interesting, going around to the different rooms and hearing all these unique talks. I started the day with a talk by someone […]
Have you ever wondered how solar power actually works? I think it’s a really interesting topic, although I’m quite new to it and really don’t know that much. Like, I understand how wind and water power works. That makes perfect sense to me. Movement generates energy, which is used to create electricity. Solar power, however, […]
Flatlays of picnic spreads are so misleading. They’ve always got, like, homemade hibiscus soda in unlabelled glass bottles, and random baskets of leaves. Everything’s artfully arranged on little wooden boards that don’t have any knife marks on them, so clearly are not household cutting boards grabbed at the last minute from the kitchen (as happens […]
The time has come, my father and I have to sell the old house and move on. The problem is it is in a terrible condition. We just don’t have the time, money or energy to start major renovations so we’ll just have to cut our losses and see what we can get for it. […]
Playing games is fun…except when you’re playing a team game without a team. Seriously, it’s like pulling teeth. You get dumped on a team of randoms who have no interest in working together, while you may well be facing a full team of folks talking to each other through their microphones, a well-oiled machine. And […]
This is my best idea since I thought of growing my own cocoa beans and never buying chocolate ever again. While I stand by that being a good idea, it did fall flat after a bit of research. Australia doesn’t have the climate for cocoa beans, especially not Tasmania, and there’s only one main variety […]
Oh, well, now it all makes sense. To think I was so confused about the wildly inconsistent reviews that I’ve been finding while searching for a corporate function venue in and around Melbourne. Turns out there was this massive overseas empire of fake posters who were trying to…manipulate opinion, I suppose. They had their hands […]
Golly, there’s an app for everything nowadays. I was just visiting Nice on my French trip and I found myself with a real hankering for some quality brie. What’s a person to do? Well, download Brie-Tracker of course! In four minutes I was sitting down at a charming café in the picturesque square, a cup […]
Winter is upon us, which means it’s time for my yearly, failing attempt to have Jalopy Lane win the Winter Gardening Excellence Award. I keep encouraging the neighbours, I really do, and winter flowers are a bit hardier and thus easier to grow. You hardly have to water them at all! This year I’m thinking […]
