And no power. At least the house is still fairly cool.

Update: the power’s back but the cooling is on strike. Which could be fun.

I watched a bit of the Bellarine road race on tv and that was quite enough cycling for me. Definitely have all the icy poles!

Yet another evacuation in the Grampians. They’re having a thoroughly shit run. Hopefully they can get it all under control.

Oof. I hope a cold drink was involved.

Excellent.

By all means drink all the alcohol, if you fancy. But please drink plenty of water too, or soft drink or whatever. It’s so easy to dehydrate in this weather, and alcohol makes it easier.

Yum!

Well that sounds super fancy!

Stop what you’re doing, it’s time for an icy pole. And a drink of something non-alcoholic. Even if you just finished an icy pole, have another one please. Or an ice cream.

Keep up that hydration. 💧🍦🧊🧃

Me too, and I was only just recovering from the last five-day effort. It’s the stormy weather triggering me today I reckon.

I’m really not far north of the city, closest to the Viewbank weather station. It’s usually a couple of degrees warmer here but right now it’s 11 degrees hotter than the CBD. It’s 37C.

How??

I’ve been to body pump, had a walk, done two loads of washing, and made a frittata. I will be on the couch until further notice.

ER is on iView and it is pretty brilliant tv, especially the first few seasons.

Might try and plan a last minute long weekend in Antarctica.

Oh that is properly ugly. Fingers crossed some of it gets revised down.

Crumpets and cherries please 🙏

I hope there’s some Spice Girls in there

I loved ER and this is from the same team (and has Dr Carter!). I’m super keen to watch it but sticking to my “one streaming platform at a time” rule, maybe in a month or two.

So glad to hear it. Book in that holiday ASAP.

Maybe you could write off today and go home sick? Some couch time might help.

Take care of yourself.
