Very proud of my youngest today. Naughty girl kept a surprise. We went to her graduation today at Monash. She graduated from her Juris Doctor Law course and topped the class winning the Academic Medal for Graduate Coursework. She kept shtum about that.

Well done her. She really worked so hard. She also won a prize for her Community Legal and is a joint winner of a Family Law prize.

We just celebrated at a French restaurant “Entrecôte” on Domain Road South Yarra which was lovely for her, her BF, Mrs WPT and me. (Lucky I’m doing a friggin’ overtime shift on Friday)

Congrats to her.

At what point do you expect her soul and personality to be expunged as she's now a qualified Lawyer?
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

When your very expensive Samsung soundbar suddenly develops a fault, you sense it's not something you'll be able to fix yourself after trying various online suggestions and you'll be required to pay for any repair (with the hassle of getting it to a specialist repairer outside the regional area you live) as you believe it's just occurred outside the standard 12 month warranty.

And then you check the receipt and discover you didn't purchase it back in late April of 2020 like you imagined but it was early June and you've got about 10 days before Armageddon was upon you.

Thank you Jesus.

the person in the office on Tuesday tested negative, so I don't have to do the test and isolate again.

Facebook marketplace.

A woman not far from me has a Choko vine in the back yard. Hardly ever see them in shops anymore, so I messaged and called around this morning, picked up 3.

70's style dinner tonight, Corned Beef with Choko and other steamed veges. :D
