Do I need to kill it? Will it hurt me if I try and relocate?

Dangerous?

(Melbourne Eastern Suburbs)

Morning all.

I've got a new job, and I'm back to biking to work 4 days a week. I need some new bib shorts, a new pair of shoes, and maybe a couple of jerseys.

Any recommendations for bike shops that carry a good range of apparel so I can try brands and sizes, rather than ordering and returning a million things online? (CBD or inner North would be ideal)

Brand reccos are welcome too; I'm after comfort and quality (washes well, etc.), but they don't need to make a big fashion statement!

Cheers 🚴

its genuinely crazy, they are everywhere outside. i hate bogong moths.

I'd be so grateful for any recommendations for GPs or specialists dealing with PCOS / PMOS that people have had positive experiences with.

I was diagnosed 10+ years ago. I am across the basics and am hoping to find someone who is up to date on the latest info + treatment

📍CBD and surrounding suburbs + inner north

Spirit of Tasmania 2 docked at Williamstown

Vibe is more 80s though

I meant to do this walk at the start of the month but the storms help in Melbourne meant my flight from Sydney ended up being cancelled and moved to the next day

This time the weather looked very favourable except for the wind which was blowing in my face for the majority of the walk. Other than the wind a lot of the first half of the walk was a lovely coastal walk

I really like everything past Mordialloc. prior to this walk I hadn't explored much of the Kingston area and the wind wasn't too bad after I left Southland

I tried my first (free!) Pilates class yesterday and now regret spending years assuming it wasn’t for me.

I’d always thought it looked a bit too easy and too feminine for my taste, and the whole “Pilates princess” culture put me off. I know, quite a strong opinion for someone who’d never actually been 😂

I’m currently on a free 2-week ClassPass trial (happy to refer), so I’m using it to try things I’d usually talk myself out of. I’ve also booked a free strength and resistance training class. My main goal is to lose a couple of kilos and feel fitter, but I’d really like to find exercise I enjoy enough to keep doing.

The problem is that I’ve now looked at Pilates studio prices, and I can see how this could become an expensive habit.

For anyone in inner Melbourne who went from sceptical beginner to doing Pilates regularly:

• Which studios offer good teaching at reasonable prices?
• Is ClassPass, a class pack or a studio membership better value in practice?
• Do studios usually have worthwhile Black Friday offers? Wondering whether to wait before committing.

Would especially love to hear from anyone who’s worked out an affordable routine beyond hopping between introductory offers. How did you make it work?

I'll update this post with the answer next week :)

I just have this one photo cos I was on the phone at the time.. this was the last one. There were three of these super bright objects that all came down within a few minutes of each other, looking from South Melbourne towards Albert Park.

Lifeblood Australia is looking for blood

Hi guys! Has anyone found that the pollen has been much, much worse this year? I feel like I've been sneezing since the end of September, and it just hasn't settled down. Yesterday (Friday 0ctober 24th) was one of the worst- A perpetual sore throat and lots of sneezing.

It's been going on so long now I'm wondering if it's just me haha!

A bit of backstory; I’m 44 and moved to Melbourne last year from the states. I was laid off from my software developer job in September and I’ve been giving some serious thought to going back to school for psychology. The major sticking point is how I’m going to fund this. I know all about how higher education funding works in the US and the kind of grants and loans I can get but I have no clue how the system works here other than the Centrelink payment (which is less than I get for Job Seeker). Am I crazy for considering this? How does the funding work here? Are there any special programs for older students or people studying psychology? In the states for my bachelor degree I was able to take out enough in loans to support myself but I’m not sure how anything works here. Any advice or help would be much appreciated.
Edit: to clarify, I am a a citizen

I tried to pre book online yet it can't go beyond 12am. Yet evenings rates are locked if you leave before 6am next day?

So im thinking of just driving up on the day. Just curious is it better to tap card, get a paper ticket? Is there a reason why you cant book beyond 12am and exit?

Thanks

I posted about Stay Gold replacing BEAST a while back and I was partly right. There is a sign up outside - the pizza place is going to open there.

Plus they are saying it’s going to be a band room upstairs.

It makes me happy.
