Thought I’d treat myself… normally go to the butcher for a special steak but saw this. Don’t you love how the packaging hides that enormous fat cap… My fault 🤦♂️
EDIT: I emailed woolies, and they have said to take the packaging back into store for a refund and have given me a $25 gift card.
I see it also opens at 10:30AM. MEL > LAX > CDG
Does anyone know where you can get a pouch similar style/colour/fit to Long Weekends pouch, that has the extra cm for the filter adapter+filter or the nisi UV filter?
The long weekend pouch only just fits without any accessories.
Does anyone change the last digit of their mobile number when finding online quotes for insurance, etc, so they don't get hassled? Am I the only one who feels bad for my number neighbour...
Anyone got issues with their power button? Today I’ve noticed mine seems to be mushy, almost like you can’t tell if you’re really pressing it, but it still works. Gets better and gets worse, but never really feels right. Volume buttons still very very clicky.
Got some other house priorities at the moment so can’t concrete or replace the shed. Currently water tight but could do with some love. Anyone got ideas on flooring options? Currently it’s pellets with carpet patches. Any suggestions to improve it to make it more pleasant to be in there please!! Would like to play darts in there and work on stuff.

Who the bloody hell do I call to install a bathroom exhaust fan in a bathroom where the roof is flat, no roof cavety? Plumber or electrician? What fan do I get or do I tell them tradie what I want?
The day I feared has been thrusted upon me. Porterhouse steaks are now $8 instead of $7.
We settled on an old home last year. During the contract process the vendor was asked whether any renovations or building works had been carried out in the preceding seven years as it looked like there had been. They said no.
Since moving in we’ve had a structural engineer through who flagged the front verandah and rear deck as non-compliant. Neither had building permits disclosed in the Section 32 Vendor’s Statement. I also have google imagery evidence to show these were built within 7 years.
We also discovered the main bathroom renovation is not watertight and is causing water damage to the subfloor. B&P found no moisture but since using the shower daily, the Engineer flagged it. When we started looking for evidence of when the bathroom was done, we checked inside the toilet cistern and found a manufacture stamp of September 2019. Well within the seven year window the vendor was asked about.
So we have:
-Vendor’s representation of no works in 7 years
-Toilet cistern stamped September 2019 proving bathroom works within that period.
-Non-compliant deck and verandah with no permits disclosed in Section 32
-Structural engineer assessment of all three
Rectification costs guessing at $20-30k plus (no quotes yet).
We’re engaging our solicitor who suggested a barrister but we are thinking maybe a letter of demand and potentially VCAT if they don’t respond.
Has anyone been through a similar situation in Victoria?
Particularly interested in experiences with Section 32 non-disclosure claims and how vendors typically respond to a letter of demand/seeking damages for rectification works. Worth it or not?
Where can you get the best hot jam donuts over the weekend? (Not a fan of rockin donuts)
Long post, sorry. Trying to think this through out loud.
I bought the A7CII about two years ago when I was creating content for Instagram; travel, video, colour grading, the whole thing. Got to around 22k followers on insta and then hit a wall. The editing process completely burnt me out. The camera and content started feeling like a work obligation.
I now find myself reaching for the GRIII. No edits, straight to phone, done.
The A7CII is a great camera. I have the 24mm, 40mm, and 50mm G primes, plus the 28-60 and the 20-70. I have noticed though I almost exclusively shoot the 40mm. The rest just sits on the shelf. I'm not a professional, I shoot friends, family, and travel.
I've been going back and forth on Fujifilm for ages. Worried it was GAS. But I think there's a difference between buying gear to fix a problem you don't have, and selling gear that no longer fits your life. At least that's what I'm telling myself.
Looking at the X-E5 with the new 23mm f/2.8 pancake as my main setup, probably a small zoom to keep and film simulations mean I can get a look I'm happy with in-camera and occasionally open Lightroom. That's the goal.
Selling the Sony kit should cover the X-E5 body and lens comfortably.
I know the A7cii specs and AF is better, but do I need better? The A7cii hasnt seen much adventure lately, and loves sitting at my desk.
Has anyone gone from Sony full frame to an X-E5 or similar and not looked back? Or regretted it? Genuinely curious whether the "you'll miss full frame" thing is real for this kind of casual shooting.

I am a die hard wagon lover and I LOVE my Holden Calais V Wagon! Will dirve it for many years to come but boy am I itching at the sight of these new electric wagons. Zeeker 7GT and the BZ4X Touring look like fantatic wagons, and I cant wait to go test drive one.
Whats everyones thoughts? I even saw BYD has a wagon coming, but its only PHEV.
Picked up the iPhone Air this afternoon in Sky Blue as they didn’t have any other colour in stock, it’s honestly pretty much white anyway. $500 off in Australia at the moment and 50% Air accessories with the purchase.
I haven’t used it much yet apart from setup, but I will say, I haven’t felt this way about an iPhone since I first got the X back in the day. It’s so beautiful, slim and light to hold.
I am thankful to not have a brick in my hands 😂
What slim phone cases are we rocking? I got one from the shop but hate where my pinky goes it feels sharp around the usb c hole…
