Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Mother Nature was in a premenstrual mood today and totally disrupted Melbourne.
Train services were interrupted due to a lightning strike. Electricity was off at my house for half the day but I was oblivious to that minor detail because we were out lunching and shopping :-)
Bins were strewn all over the roads, big branches (dry from lack of water) came crashing down. The wind was whipping around and a big dust storm covered Melbourne in a red haze.
We escaped relatively unharmed apart from the slight inconvenience of not having power.
Had to scrounge up a match to light the gas hot plates to cook dinner...smoke alarm batteries still work cos I managed to set that off...gee I am good at that!
Kelly and I ate our dinner by candlelight - quite good cos you cant see the burnt bits!!
Haven't heard any trains go past so hopefully they will be running again by the morning so I can do my second day of voluntary work. Going in earlier so we can get a kickstart coffee to fight off the boredom.
SES have a long night of clean ups ahead of them
