I haven't tried it, but I've hear this stuff is good for it: https://www.bio-oil.com/en-us/

Just do the best you can and understand that one day you may make a mistake - you're human, it's natural. Just be honest and up-front when and if the day comes. Own the mistake, admit the mistake, do what you can to fix it, learn from it, and move on. I used to be a personal banker and learned that people appreciate…

Totally forgot about that...most homes and older buildings in Aus/NZ have terrible insulation and usually no ducted heating and tile floors. Good tip with the pyjamas and socks.

Hmm, yes, it might be worth looking into secondhand shoes in that case (eBay perhaps?). Otherwise, I do remember a thread here on Jez a few months ago where everyone posted their favourite shoes for snow, and I'm sure a lot of them were fairly inexpensive. Can't seem to find the thread, but I'm sure it's around...

My thermals are also from Kathmandu. They have survived Tasmania in winter and camping in Melbourne in winter - so warm! I haven't been on any long hikes in the rain in the recent past, so depending on what activities you'll be up to, maybe ankle-length gumboots will suffice? Something like this should be good for…

I love Angela Lansbury. I went to see her in Driving Miss Daisy last year and, like a massive nerd, waited outside the stage door to see if she could sign my magazine cover of her. Unfortunately, she was not feeling up to receiving people and I missed out on meeting her, but I don't think I would have ever tried for…

I have a charge converter but honestly, I don't want to lug it around for another two weeks after I leave Japan. I will if it's absolutely essential but I'd much prefer to be able to charge it without a converter.

A question for anyone who knows things about electronics/voltage/Japan: I bought a camera from the US recently and am planning on taking it to Japan next week. It charges with the batt in the cam, so camera>USB cord>Panasonic wall adapter. However, the adapter isn't compatible with the 100v used in Japan. Does anyone…

"Put a Cat on It!"

That's great. If anyone can help this cat it's my guy Jackson Galaxy. He's such a great ally of the cat.

But do they receive a "thwarting crime" badge?!

Yup. I went to a Colbert Report taping once - it was just awesome. We got a free copy of the Great Gatsby and I met Baz Lurhmann on the street outside afterwards and he signed my copy! So much fun - the only slightly annoying part was the queuing to get in.

What? No Victoria's Secret coupon?

In the last few years I have written exactly one letter - to the Post Office when they, for absolutely no reason, shipped back a parcel my mum had sent me from overseas. It was a polite but stern letter outlining their mistake, including a photo of the package. In return, they sent me a cheque covering the cost of…

I used to say I'd like to find the Kenny to my Dolly. I like yours too!

Oh, limes! I was so excited a few months ago when I found some limes for only $1.25 each. Couldn't believe my eyes!

I tried responding to this earlier but kinja have me an error, so I'll try again. This is at my local fruit & veg shop. Places like Queen Vic Market and the supermarkets will have cheaper prices, but they're still too expensive for me to justify buying an avocado more than about one a month as a treat. Even $4 for one…

I would request you post some but Australian customs would probably hunt the both of us down and have us killed for trying to import fruit into the country.

What?! Only $1.50?! I've been meaning to visit Arjeplog ever since I heard that gorgeous Hello Saferide song...maybe this year is the year...

Yup :( I haven't had an avocado in months
