The wild winds tonight are stressing me out.

Winter solstice is here. Brrr. 🥶🥶

Yes it was.

Well, I didn’t need to hold my breath. The power is back on! Thanks everyone for your kind words over the past few days, really helped.

Of course, now I can hear approaching thunder crackling in the distance. Another storm… 😳

8th night without power, in the Yarra Ranges. Really not good. The Outage Tracker seems to say that maybe tomorrow night late the power will be restored. Not holding my breath.

7th night without power.

You are right, it IS a long time. Things are more complicated up in the hills. Too many trees.

6th night without power. I’m so over it. Anxious AF.

Looks like we are back in winter today. Freezing and pelting rain.

A referendum without democracy sausages is a referendum not worth having.

Would like to support Brisbane but difficult as they are not Victorian (although they once were Fitzroy). Tried to support Collingwood but can’t because…you know…they’re Collingwood. Think you have to be born a Collingwood supporter to support them. This day will not end well for me.

One good friend of mine is a hard core Collingwood supporter. Another good friend of mine passionately supports Brisbane. Both want me on their side today. Today’s Grand Final will be…something I have to carefully negotiate. Help!
