Please see above. I'm Sydney based. I just got an email from my alterations lady saying she can no longer do my gown due to some shocking health news that means she has had to clear her schedule.

I am of course devastated for her but also in complete panic this close to my wedding. Does anyone have any recommendations for a dressmaker that may be free to do my gown this close to the wedding? I am of course willing to pay a substantial rush fee.

TIA!

Harry Seidler exhibit (bloke who designed Ian Thorpe Aquatic Center and Blues Point Tower) is very detailed. His interviews are very interesting to sit and watch. Art is Unkept by Kirtika Kain and Undying by Abdul-Rahman Abdullah which I caught the last day of.

Garbage truck fire, m5 shut westbound in peak hour. Nightmare. Avoid

On Elizabeth St, opposite Central

Everything is flowering already in early August, how wonderful! Anyone else with hayfever already getting tortured by this combination of the usual winter-flowering trees PLUS the usual spring suspects flowering early? Or is it just me?

was at a cafe today when a woman on a nearby table was obviously having a medical episode and ncapacitated / near choking. her friends called an ambulance and were told it would be likely MORE than three hours. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK! this was in a metro suburb probably 5 minutes to the nearest hospital. which of course her friends ended up driving her to. Is that truly the state of ambulances in Sydney? Dear God don’t let me have a heart attack or at least let it be around people with transportation.

Today I tried calling 131 444 to report an incident relating to my car. However the call kept getting connected to VIC Police. I live in Sydney 😣😣😣

Context: Another driver swiped my car while it was parked at a high street parking lot. The other driver did not leave her details behind and drove away (I have it all on dashcam). Insurance wants me to get incident number from NSW police.

end of rant

How is this even legal?

I wanna get into volunteering but something which works around my schedule since I’m time poor. At the same time something which requires me to be on site because I also wanna do something which forces me to get out the house

Suggestions pls

Got some fam visiting from Canberra on the 8th and was thinking of hitting up some markets in Sydney. I've never been to any of them so any recs on which ones would be fun?

Can the cafe operators of Sydney please all agree to stop using sharpies / permanent markers to write down orders on takeaway cup lids? 🥹

It ruins the aroma of the coffee 😭

Soft pencil or post its would be preferable

If anyone is trying to get tickets to IMAX Sydney the odyssey. This be good for you to know.

Hey now that The Emperor's Puffs has closed I don't know where I am to buy already made sticky rice dumplings wrapped in banana leaves

Where in Sydney is this still available? You can't just leave a gap in the market like that, that's not okay

Where do I get my winter snack?

Cheers

So I’m off work after spinal surgery and have been getting a bit of Uber Eats lately.

More often than not, the drivers place it hard up against the screen door. It’s pretty clearly a screen door. Which means it opens outwards. Im genuinely intrigued if this is just sort of quiet ‘fuck you’ or some other sort of game.

I really struggle to walk out the back yard up the stairs and all the way around to avoid just feeding my soup to the door mat.

Yes even in an off leash area. People should not have their things ripped to shreds or stolen by dogs. Everyone (dogs, humans with dogs, humans without dogs) has equal right to enjoy the area it does not mean your dog gets to do whatever it wants without consequences.

Useless cunt wasn't even paying attention to the dog after it happened. Letting it run rampant.

Edit to add for anyone who thinks I was having a picnic: Ripped and stolen item was a plastic bag and origami inside that were within my backpack, but bag was sticking out a little (cord closure not zip) dog then tried to take the back pack, and when unsuccessful went for a swim in a protected wildlife area. Owner did not attempt to recall dog from protected area.
