It’s completely personal. For me a 45 min drive twice a week would be completely ok, especially for the right job. Easy actually. Lots of people do this or more everyday. I wouldn’t do the 1.5hr PT, double the commute time isn’t appealing since I have car and don’t mind driving. But if I didn’t have the car option might be ok for twice a week. 1.5hrs each way 5 days a week would probably be a no for me at this point in my work life. But entirely depends on how good this opportunity is for you. Is it something not easily found, or good pay, chance to progress your career etc?

I got it once to buy a white goods item that Costco had which was a couple hundred dollars cheaper than anywhere else. Membership was worth it just for that one purchase. I used it one other time for groceries that year, but I don’t have a large family so bulk goods are not that useful. My normal shopping method is to keep an eye out for colesworth specials and buy extras of the things I regularly use. So Costco wasn’t useful for me for regular grocery shops, but if I had a big purchase to make I would check Costco prices against JB/good guys etc. If I lived quite close to one I might consider it for the discounted petrol though.
Why am I awake at 6am on a weekend. I would like to sleep more.
5 years must be close to record run.
Doesn’t meet your brief, I don’t know of anywhere that would suit. But for a homestyle smash burger you can’t beat the old style fish and chips shops. They were making ‘smash’ burgers before they had a name. Patty pressed flat to sizzling on a hot plate, melted cheese on top, get it with the lot. I love this kind of burger more than the American style ones.
When I visited California I was surprised by how many eucalypts and other Australian plant species were used in gardens. I guess it’s because it’s a similar climate, hot dry summers, so they do well. But they are so flammable. Scary that such ferocious fires are happening mid winter.
I have mixed feelings on the miners because they are natives and it’s just their nature, but it’s a unnatural balance because of the suburban garden habitats. The magpies don’t seem too deterred, even though they get harassed at times too. I don’t have a huge amount of space but maybe I’ll look into some summer flowering plants and put a second bird bath elsewhere.
If it’s little it might have been a blackbird. But they usually have yellow beaks.
My bird theme happening is that I saw a family of noisy miners and a magpie using the bird bath. Noisy miners have unfortunately set up camp in the surrounding trees and are monopolising the bird bath, but at least if they are here, then the bird baths in other peoples yards are free of harassment for other bird species.
It’s an oven out there. Just hung out the washing. It’s been 5min, I should probably go back out and pick it up, it’ll be dry by now.
Watching a bit of the tennis. Don’t follow it except for when the AO is on, and then I have instant options on the commentators, court fashions, audience, tv coverage, player attitudes, and weather.
