Alright I hope to HELL that is the last time I need to go out for uni fieldwork - I'm so over driving to the most soulless and crammed of new outer suburbs in the north and west.
I will say, if I had to pick one, it would be Doreen, but I'm guessing the east side bordering Nillumbik / Yan Yean Rd is up there in price relative to age/distance to amenities, even I have to admit much of it is so beautifully landscaped.
No breakfast and lunch, bought a packet of Indian masala snacks and ate most of it on the way home, super salted/dried out now. I did also finally grab a jar of coconut oil after running out like a month ago - Colesworth just stopped stocking it out of the blue. I'll have to hope this one's decent...
Anyway it's been hot and yucky and I'm pooped. I have to make these black eyed beans I put to soak in the am. Think I'll be throwing all the aromatics into the food processor and doing a very lazy Hoppin' John.
