    Eerrrrggghhhh. Late to the party this morning. We had some excitement opposite me in our street last night - 3 am firetrucks and cop cars. Cops carefully saying nothing, but the firetrucks were all hooked up to the water supply, and lots of firies everywhere in gas masks. The houses opposite and me and my next door neighbours all got woken up and asked to leave for a safe space up the street. Presumably a gas problem/leak of some sort I reckon as no smell of fire. After an hour or so they let us back home and the trucks packed up and left. PSA: Oodies and ugg boots are fantastic for evacs of this sort - pocket holds all sorts of things and very very warm. They did offer us blankets but I didn’t need one with the oodie.

      Ugh! As somebody who doesn’t typically clothes at night this would be very extra. Upset cats stuffed in boxen and no pants. 😝

        I’ve always been worried that the one night I tried to sleep without clothes, my house would catch on fire. Or I’d get up at 2am for a dunny run really tired and forget I’m not wearing any clothes
