I went to Bunnings for some more supplies for my lawnmower restoration (as it was a bit rustier than I realised) and had to divert on the way home due to a road closure. Which meant a nice little drive through the countryside. I even saw an alpaca, freshly shaved so looking very long in the neck.

that ryobi tool cleaner foaming stuff is exxy af but holy shit it's amazing. I actually used to to clean the last bits of rust off a cast iron garden seat I'm restoring (admittedly after blasting it with a scouring wheel but still, the amount of shit that came off in the rinse was impressive. And that was after I'd tackled it with a brush)
