Rain has just hit Fitzroy. Not sure how long it will last.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Couple suburbs east of you and it was spitting down, just now getting hit by a small cell of rain. Looks like little pimples emerging over the bay and city on the radar.

I gotta say that buildup before the rain, after a dry heat, is really.... arousing.

Oh bad fire up around Beaufort :-(

EDIT: Western highway closed and VLine suspended both ways from Ballarat <-> Ararat. Vic emergency link if anyone needs it https://www.emergency.vic.gov.au/respond/

Yeah just saw this image from my relatives all the way in Delacombe. Looks worse than last week's fire around Burrumbeet or wherever it was.

Really glad we've had no bushfire smoke in Melbourne so far, although my air purifier is sitting pretty

Mostly passively cooled house 24.7 degrees, outside 31.6, still bearable inside. We have no A/C, only cooling is ceiling fans and curtains on only 6 out of our 30 windows. I’m glad we aren’t having too many hot days in a row this summer.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

sky smoky :(

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Its getting quite apocalyptic. Really weird glow

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I think I'll go home via an air-conditioned pub. The cool change has apparently reached Ocean Grove but no further until 7 pm.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

It has just hit about 20 mins ago :)

First am appointment Obtained. Will still have to deal with looking like a cartoon until then.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

just had to add some cardboard boxes and another blanket over the window in the study. Rest of the house is ok but the study is struggling. I feel for those without AC today, this is pretty warm!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

If you can spray water on the outside walls, the paths near the house and the garden. The evaporative cooling of the area will help a bit.

So I've been finishing all the half watched movies and yesterday it was In Bruges.

More than half way thru and I'm thinking, Wow, I've never seen Liam Neeson so good in a role, it's like he's really acting. It was Ralph Fiennes. πŸ€ͺ

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Really awesome movie, seems to not get as much love as it deserves

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

All the actors were really good.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I also loved Banshees of Inisherin (which had Colin Farrell and Brian Gleeson again) but it was so so dark at times.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It had some very sad moments.

and reminded me of these old, and at the time, very famous movies
