Was up early this morning because this evil very noisy truck woke me up at 5:50 am. I went down to see what the hell it was doing, and they were sucking out by pipe some weird crumbly waste from the basement of one of the buildings in the alleyway. I told them to tell their boss it's a problem because 200 people are trying to sleep in the building next door (ie our building!). Such are the trials of city living... It never occurs to these companies that people might be living with earshot of their middle-of-the-night noise. :/#Melbourne

@futurebird yeah I suspect they don't have a permit, and I'm going to complain about them to the city council today. They're usually okay with voice complaints.

@futurebird I didn't notice, but I think it's bigger than it looks in the photo in any case. Check out these cute little street cleaning vehicles the council uses though, they're very cool: https://aus.social/@joannaholman/114209534790607930

@futurebird @FantasticalEconomics Yep it's all about TEH FEELZ with the modern fascist. Anything they want to believe, must be real.

Now free for all to read... Earlier this year I took an epic train trek, covering the entire distance from London to Istanbul by rail. Here are the four sleeper trains I took along the way:https://www.patreon.com/posts/four-night-133632552 #train #trains #Europe

I've met in person three of the actors who play the Doctor: Peter Davison, Sylvester McCoy, and Peter Capaldi. Talented folk. #DoctorWho #DoctorWhoDay

We caught the 59 tram up to Moonee Ponds today to see the Fantastic Four movie at the newish Palace Cinema there. It's a fun movie, and I love the retro-future design aesthetic. Someone must have had huge fun researching and applying a sleek '60s look to every aspect of the film's architecture, furniture, clothing etc.Also, there's a nice view from the upper terrace of the cinema complex. Didn't think much of the recliner seats though, they're too short and a bit uncomfortable as a result.(NB we were the only people at the screening, so I didn't bother anyone by taking these pics.)#movie #movies #film #FantasticFour cc @NarrelleMHarris

Good morning from somewhere in the South Australian outback, travelling aboard the Indian Pacific train. Beautiful sunrise out there. #train #trains #Australia #sunrise

Good morning from the Indian Pacific! Woke up to beautiful green scenery today, quite a change from the desert terrain I went to sleep to last night. We're near Lithgow now, bearing down on Sydney. #Train #Trains #Australia

I wonder if we're about to receive an influx of Australian under-16s who have been banned from mainstream social media? They might learn dangerous things here at Mastodon! How to crochet a giant ant, for example, or to code, or how to ferment their own kvass. Or even the history behind different rail gauges! Scary times.#SocialMedia #Mastodon #auspol
