Wow what a flashback!! I used to get these from the Scholastic Book Club!!

Nothing broke up the monotony of the school year quite like a Scholastic book fair! Went to one at my son’s school last year and had ALL the flashbacks 📚

Fun Fax was definitely one of the best value money for series. I eventually got the Fun Fax Spy File, that was one of the great days 🔍

The Save the Children Australia winter book sale starts today at UWA Hackett Hall but be warned, traffic is a fkn joke! Never seen it this bad, notwithstanding a small part of the road blocked off for a crane build on the west end of UWA.

Nedlands is the hottest suburb for redevelopments and has been for a few years now. Can’t see things getting better traffic-wise in the near future.

But as for the book sale, it’s on from 1-9pm and instead of finishing on Sunday like normal, it goes for the whole week. It doesn’t really matter when you go because they are constantly putting more books on the tables right through to the end!

Apparently Mortein can help you get a good night's sleep. Interesting!

Why do so many houses sit vacant for years, sometimes even decades? After documenting abandoned houses across Western Australia, I've often wondered whether this is a matter of property rights or whether there's a deeper moral question. Beyond the empty buildings lie forgotten family histories, lost...
