Here on Russell Island we have had notification from the Rural Fire Service ( bless those volunteers ) that there's a strong wind warning and high Fire danger. Due to this my bonfire will not happen. However I'm not cancelling and will just have a party.

It's a bit of a mood killer. But hopefully it will still be a fun evening. Cheers.

Huge weekend for me. Normally I wouldn't even be awake until mid afternoon on a Saturday, but I got up early to volunteer at the Kedron Parkrun (sorry I didn't say hi, @Ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone, the work ended up being a lot more involved than I expected it to be!) and then went down to a monthly mini fencing tournament for the first time this year. Heading out to lunch with family friends soon, and then having dinner with my parents.

Then tomorrow, another mini fencing tournament (this one not a regularly-scheduled one though), and getting back into playing RPGs with my old D&D group online.

Plus, after a brief few days off, the Dracula bookclub in !vampires@lemmy.zip starts a 15 day streak of uninterrupted days with at least some book to read.
