Damn all my rubbish is still in the backyard, and the kids didn’t get blown away either.

Same, we've got a heap of crap for the dump so we don't have to move it, we did have a big tree topple down the road.

Anyone else lost Power?
They are saying 7pm tonight for my area.

My work always has power issues but none today


Driving down Unley Road this morning the rain was so heavy I could barely see the front of my car yet it was bright sunshine.

Must have affected a chick at work, she's not in today.

Surely she can’t come back

Driving down Brighton Rd early this morning & there was a trampoline lodged in a tree on the footpath.

Same mob that roofed the GFC Grandstand?

Heard a tenant on the radio, what a nightmare!

Sort of.

Light bulbs were on but dim. Telly worked, radio worked, internet router was up and running. Yet the kettle would not boil, coffee machine would not turn on, hot water was cold (gas HWS, but clearly needs a spark to get going), the stove hobs would not light (again, needs a spark), the shower fan would not turn. The roller door mechanism was having conniptions, beeping and flashing like it was trying to cause seizures, and it refused to lift the roller door.

So the power's not out - but it's not exactly on, either.

Bugger!
