We had a 7-hour power outage yesterday afternoon, along with 1500 other homes, all because someone a bit further down the street released a helium-filled metallic balloon which floated up to the power lines and blew them up. All credit to the fire service who arrived quickly to secure the scene, and also to the United Energy crews who turned up with three massive cherry-picker trucks to thread it all back together again.
In better news, Groundhog Day: The Musical was fantastic, highly recommended. It’s surpassed Wicked as my favourite theatre musical of all time. The sets, the humour, the cast…just brilliant.

What area was that in? We had a similar-looking situation this morning near our place; fire, police, and energy company.
Parkdale/Mordialloc area
