Hey, Melbourne look who’s back on @theageaustralia?

Read on… but just to set the record straight. The headline was not mine. Editors do change the headlines to suit them. I wear puffers and drink decaf.

Does that make me less Melburnian…?

“We often think we know what’s best for us. We plan. We set goals. But the past few years, I’ve realised that we don’t really know what’s best for us. We have to trust that the universe provides. And, oh how it does in ways we’ve never imagined.

Haunted by a post from nearly 5 years ago when I was starting my life in Melbourne this morning, it got me musing about uncertainty.

I have a new @substack called Making it in Melbourne. I moved to Melbourne nearly 5 years ago with a suitcase and only knew 2 people in this city. Here’s a post I wrote about my move, two weeks after I arrived. https://t.co/DFR1meGSEy

Thanks Sudatta! I’m glad I vividly brought back the feeling of Melbourne winter for you. 40C wow 🥵

[Su @iSudatta]

Thank you, for saying it out loud, @themaidastouch. While I melt in 40+ degrees, miss the Melbourne chill, I also remember the indescribable feeling of Melbourne winter... https://t.co/4sKQWIPcQr

@syphonsteve @theage Thanks

Hi I'm Maida, and I'm not caffeinated. Hear how I'm surviving and thriving in Melbourne's cafe culture. Read my article in @theage today. https://t.co/rQZN6TwZvJ

[maida @themaidastouch]

@armagny @theage The flavor of decaf isn’t bad. Please share your favorite decaf find with me. I’d love to try it. Give the puffer a try, it’s so convenient for this crazy weather.

[maida @themaidastouch]

@ragger51 @theage Hahaha ! I feel her pain, but often just walk away from the cafes without decaf. I feel not welcome 🤭

[maida @themaidastouch]

@sophievictoriap @theage Ah I didn’t realize that. I rarely see turmeric latte. Matcha has high caffeine.

[maida @themaidastouch]

@syphonsteve @theage Thank you ! Who are these three roasters you love ? Please share
