    I got very lucky this morning, had an incredibly clear run on the Eastern/Alexandra Pde even though I didn’t leave when I normally consider is the best time to avoid the worst of it.

    That was then cancelled by spilling coffee all over the centre console 🥲 I wiped up as much as I could but it got in some nooks and crannies and I’ll have to use a little pin or something to try cleaning them out… Sigh

      Meanwhile, I got held up by a 6-car pileup around the Elgar Rd area at 6:30-ish this morning, that was fun…

      Once past it though the Eastern and Alexandra all the way through to Royal Pde was a breeze, as usually happens once you’re past a choke point!

      And I see there was another accident around Doncaster Rd a bit later too. Not a fun morning for the Eastern (but is it ever?).

        Ha, maybe that was why it was so cruisey near the Alexandra Pde exit. Usually by 7:15 it’s chockers but it was completely smooth sailing the whole way - guess everyone was held up earlier! I’m lucky I get on at Chandler Hwy but I do have to go all the way to Elliot Ave and through to Epsom Road. Today’s only jam was the lead up to Flemington Rd.

      The universe balances itself out, often to our detriment. Spilled coffee sucks and is totally annoying.

      The foam carpet cleaner from woolies is pretty good though, and gets rid of any smells

        I’ll have to give it a go. Luckily not much landed on the carpet but I’ve definitely been reminded to fast track getting seat covers
