    Spent four hours out of home. Out to Prahan, back into Flinders to Spencer St. Then hung out with my partner for his lunch. Dropped into a shop on the way home and now I’m actually back.

    The cat is pleased with my return and the bribe of wet food to remain on his good side.

    …I forgot toilet paper. FML.

    Edit: whoa that factory fire I saw from docklands with my partner earlier. I actually pointed it out but thought it was just pollution from a factory.

    I guess it’s still pollution, but from an explosion - which is cooler as long as no one is dead

    Edit: holy! Check out the flying barrel! Scroll down to the interview with the chief and they show a clip. Wild!

      Holy shit.

      The camera person deserves a raise for catching that barrel so clearly.

      We got a mass email at work advising us to be cautious because the wind was heading our way for a while and the outdoor crew got a heads up almost as soon as it happens. Looks like it’s blowing south now. Those videos are pretty wild

      Glad I’m far enough to not be smelling it. When that recycling joint went up a few years back it was vile!
