I see the few days of heavy rain has washed out all the bitumen the council slapped in the potholes after the last bit of heavy rain. Talk about rinse and repeat.

This council can’t do the basics but the lord mayor will be on social media every day stroking his ego over some niche thing.

A rectangular image with a review of Season 1 of the television series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The show poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Avoid Okay Good Great with Great selected. The review reads - This was such good fun. It’s just what was needed after the boring attempts at dramatic seriousness in House of the Dragon. I wish the episodes were more than 30mins each.

Lighthearted and not just focussed on the nobles, there’s a bit of Targaryen scheming to keep people happy.

Today’s prompt: A song you'd do at karaoke.

Everyone needs a go to song with easy lyrics and not too broad a range.

You may consider it a controversial opinion, perhaps even incorrect, but it’s okay to be wrong sometimes.

Petrol currently ranges between $1.89 and $2.19 a litre in Brisbane. So what Chalmers really means is petrol retailers shouldn’t gouge motorists any more than the usual 30c bounce to the top of the cycle.

Shopping centre carparks need to start limiting entry by length of car as well as height. Tired of all these huge utes who either stick out into the lane or go over the line into the park behind.

If your vehicle doesn't fit within the carpark rectangle then you shouldn't be allowed in.

I decided I wanted to read the Slow Horses novels after thoroughly enjoying the TV show.

Took about six months to go from 72 to 0 in the library hold queue but I finally have the first in the series.

β€œNSW police assistant commissioner Peter McKenna vehemently defended the actions of the police, saying officers had showed restraint against protesters for more than an hour before the clashes began.”

Translation: We waited an hour before punching people and you should be thankful.

Downside of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms dropping early over the weekend is I have no A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to watch tonight.

I’m really enjoying the show and wish the episodes were a bit longer.

A rectangular image with a review of Season 2 of the television series Fallout. The show poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Avoid Okay Good Great with Okay selected. The review reads - Eight episodes and are we much more advanced in storyline? I guess. There was backstory and more world building but the end of episode 8 felt very reminiscent of the end of S01. I enjoyed it but it could’ve been so much better.
