Apologies, I forgot to add a map reference to show the nearest train stations to the latest apartment commentary, I uploaded to my channel. I will add the link to that short video, if you are interested.
So in the westerly directions are stations; Pascoe Vale and Strathmore and to towards the east, are the stations of Batman and Coburg.

Today, I came across a Post-It note with this brand of chair written on it.

It's a very nice and ergonomic chair indeed, however, I would need to apply for a bank loan to own one.

Nice, eye candy. Body art that goes further than skin deep 😋

Stepped back in time. Printed music charts of albums and singles provided by Melbourne FM radio stations, Triple-M & Fox-Fm. On the back of the Triple-M music chart, highlighted a featured artist weekly.

These were printed receipt stubs (not for all 3 shows) for Kylie Minogue's 2011 Aphrodite concert at Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne.

Of its 3 of 3 date run, I spoilt myself and attended all three shows. (Floor: GA each show.)

In the current cost of living crisis, I got nostalgic and envious of fast food prices (Hungry Jacks) of yesteryear, 1999.

I had considered providing comparisons of 2026 equivalent offers but the offers in the photo below were (like they all usually are) "limited offers."

That is, unless Hungry Jacks currently has a "2 Whoppers with cheese" offer, it would not be a fair or accurate pricing comparison.

However, I Googled 1999 and 2026 Australian Hungry Jacks outlets prices just to show (no surprise) how much inflation has occurred over 27 years, for the two following burger types:

Whopper with cheese, during 1999 AUD $2.95 - $3.45 and of 2026 AUD $11.75.

Bacon deluxe, during 1999 AUD $3.50 - $3.95 and of 2026 AUD $12.85.

Blair McDonough played the regular character Stuart Parker on Neighbours from 2001 to 2006, with his first appearance on screen in December 2001. He returned to the show for guest appearances in 2018 and 2022.

Flash back to 1998. One of my previously owned vehicles, I copped a speeding fine of AUD $105.00.

In the grand scheme of things, it was not the end of the world.

However, fast forward to 2026, in Australia's current cost of living crisis, $105.00 could go a long way towards some groceries, topping up petrol for your car or for a utility bill instead.

Flashback to 2001.

This was a photocopy of one of my birthday invitations. (I have concealed a guest's name and my RSVP contact details for privacy.)

The Jet Lounge no longer exists. At 189 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy at the time of this post, the business there is now known as Archie's all day. The tag-line on their IG page says "Brunch & good vibes all day."
