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.
Ain't no thang like a chicken wang!
And that will have to be a no today
Noice.
Next week I'll get Tucker Time back up and running.

That reminds me Brunswick Original Kippers on sale for $2 a tin at woolworths for the next week.
Time to stock up, thanks!
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. Iβm glad we arenβt having too many hot days in a row this summer.
Come on cool change...
Just came from the beach and the cool change hit. 60km SSW of melbs.. you guyzz just have to.. rave choon it
Hold on

Sky not so pretty
sky smoky :(
Its getting quite apocalyptic. Really weird glow
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.
It has just hit about 20 mins ago :)
Coriander Margaritas..πΉ
With some chilli sprinkles - could catch on.
Fuck! Shattered tooth. All the bad dreams are true
Oh no! :(
First am appointment Obtained. Will still have to deal with looking like a cartoon until then.
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!
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. π€ͺ
Really awesome movie, seems to not get as much love as it deserves
I love In Bruges!
All the actors were really good.
Yeah I also loved Banshees of Inisherin (which had Colin Farrell and Brian Gleeson again) but it was so so dark at times.
It had some very sad moments.
and reminded me of these old, and at the time, very famous movies
ooh I will look them up (when I find a suitably reflective yet not depressed mood)
