@kdfrawg To quote Steven Wright: "For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier…I put them in the same room and let them fight it out…"

Almost midnight, 20˚C, 83% humidity. Been running the evaporative cooler in the bedroom for 7 hours, just refilled it with 7 litres of water. It's not hot but too muggy to get away without using some sort of cooler.
I do get the impression the people in the supermarket who do the pricing don't quite know of different package sizes. I've just bought a 1 kg bag of frozen green curry prawn gyoza dumplings which went through the scanner at the checkout as a ¾ kg bag.
I hate it when people ask me what I'll be doing in three years. I only have 2020 vision in one eye.
@hazardwarning One of our Men's Shed member is 75 & two years ago had ½ his right lung & ⅓ of his left removed due to lung cancer - he's going really well now, still pretty fit.

@kdfrawg We usually get biggish Richter numbers but very deep down. mostly in the region of the giant earthworms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GiantGippslandearthworm - so much so that local Aboriginal legend explains the tremors as being the underground worm movement.

Hot & humid today, but the forecast shows a 98% chance of rain tonight. Please, make it so!
@kdfrawg We get the occasional one, the most memorable of recent quivers was a 7.6 some 10 km underground, about 50 to the southeast. A friend on Twitter likened the experience to that of sitting atop a washing machine on its spin cycle.
It went for at least 35 seconds and rather than being the normal up & down thumpy bumpy action it was as my friend described: a squirming, twisting motion. Really weird. There were a number of rural roads closed thru landslips around the epicentre.

@peemee I stand corrected: the WHOA is back for a limited time, available online or possibly at the brewery itself. That entails a 200 km round trip.
