Plans with aunt changed at the last minute and I ended up going to their temporary place digs 'round the corner from Chaddy. It’s got Muji and Macpac in one convenient location, open till 9pm - great, I think.
45 minutes of car park shenanigans later… I remember that it is never that convenient at that hellish place. I also spent a disproportionate amount of time at Muji ogling all the muted earthy everything (made with exploited labour and unethical materials no doubt but very visually appealing nonetheless)…
But no, I shan’t accumulate — just bought the flannel shirt for work and more importantly, a second pair of comfy pants. Between that and two brand new FXD pants from earlier today to replace my threadbare, well-loved pair, I have all the comfy pants I need!
Over to RSEA tomoz for a hi viz jumper and windproof jacket and I’ll be set. Wallet looking dire until I get reimbursed/tax return tho. Better get everything ready to file asap on 1 July.
I was at RESA recently looking for a decent high viz hoodie and they didn’t have anything that I liked. I went with “Bisley Taped Hi Vis Fleece Hoodie (BK6819T)” offa ebay for about $60.
I’m looking for something that can fit certain tools in the front pockets, and I know one of the Eleven hoodies does (an ex colleague has it), so I might try them on anyway, but if not I’ll try the Bisley ones available at the shop near my place (that sadly isn’t open Sundays). Work will reimburse these ones so I’m not too fussed.
I mainly wanted a fluro, reflective, zip-through hoodie which RESA couldn’t help with. I wanted it for cycling. If I cycle dressed like a tradie I get way more respect on the roads than dressed like a mamil.
Yeah, their range of stuff isn’t so good for active work like that. It’s really pitiful for women as well. I’m going to have to try on men’s jackets and hope I can find something that fits.
