@hoka a bit disappointed with my recent purchase. Less than 150km of wear. 100km into the Camino Frances. Now having to do some superglue fix work to get by . Any suggestions / recommendations?

@vline_ballarat Hey VLine, what’s going on? Service levels recently on the Ballarat line have been really poor. Regular alerts on train faults reducing capacity, delayed or cancelled trains. Eg 3 Wendouree originating services this morning (5:18, 6:37 and 6:55) all shortened.

@vline_ballarat any news on the 5:26 Footscray to Ballarat? 20 mins late and no news.

@vline_ballarat when will the temporary timetable be available for the fortnight’s disruptions starting 16th Sept?

It is National Blood Doner week. Fewer than 1 in 30 people donate blood. Yet, 1 in 3 of us will need it during our lives.

I survived because of the community service of others who gave blood. Recheck your eligibility. The criteria has changed. https://t.co/2ikGYa87CB

Shame it’s such a hard word to say as it should get a lot more use.

Word of the day is a reminder of 'ipsedixitism' (16th century): the assertion that something is 'fact' because someone else said so.

@vline_ballarat Looks like trains are running late on the line. Any updates?

This morning I discovered that in Vietnam this year is not the year of the rabbit, but the year of the cat. Here’s a celebratory image for my Vietnamese connections.

Wishing everyone a very happy and prosperous Lunar New Year and Spring Festival.

Word of the day is 'overmused' (17th century): wearied by too much thinking.

@daveyb66 Indeed … was getting a bit embarrassing really

15 mins to go … rather excited. Only 22 years in the making.

This on par if not better than the Olympic James Bond scene.

Ramadan Mubarak … During this month, may peace descend on the earth and may your life be brightened with positivity and harmony.

Word of the day is a reminder of the Scots ‘flench’: to give a deceitful promise of improvement. Used of weather or a situation that looks as though it might get better, but never actually does.

Procrastinating about your will? To help people pick up that can and stop kicking it down the road, State Trustees has dropped the price for an online will to $20.
If you would rather talk to someone as you make a will, you can book an appointment with one of our consultants.
