Sweet, it's dropped below 42 here now apparently so it's time for me to go and change the coolant in the XR8.

I jumped in the pool about 3ish but didn't stay in long. Would of looked like a struck match if I had stayed

Sky has been blocked out by smoke here in Gisborne. Must be those Kilmore fires mentioned above.

My 3 maple trees have lost their leaves. :

Check your power companies webpages as soon as you can, expect power blackouts.

Apparently under my power company, says my power is going to be interuppted around 7pm. Say's "unknown cause".
We'll soon see.

But on the other hand, wtf is this?? It was on their webpage.
Morons.!
Funny that, you need power to go to thier website - dam dummies!

"Are you currently without electricity?

If you are experiencing an electricity outage, we suggest you visit the website of your electricity distribution company which will have information relating to interruptions in your area. Alternatively, you can report the electricity outage by calling your electricity distributor. The distribution companies in Victoria are SP Ausnet, Citipower, Powercor, Jemena and United Energy. "

Spanz, some people may be without power and only have battery backup for their laptops.

Thats 2 record temps in the space of 10 days. Last week a new record of 45.3 was recorded, looks like this could be another new record for G town.

Walking outside was like being in a furnace, the air was roasting hot. Definately felt a little bit hotter than last week.
