On a train. There is an over abundance of short shiny dresses and facial glitter. Must be a Spice Girl around somewhere.

TW blood

Bloody got a blood nose on the bus. Nobody around. I carry a gigantic arse backpack around with me which contains everything I could ever need while on a trip, except, crucially, tissuesโ€ฆ

Managed to get it under control with a head tilt though, but my face and hands didnโ€™t fare too well without tissues, and I probably looked like either a murderer, or a murderee. Ended up having to rip pieces off of a letter I forgot to take out of my bag and wet them with my water and use that to try and clean myself up a bit. Absolutely looked like a crackhead in the process, half surprised I didnโ€™t get kicked off

Finally got off at a train station and started trying to properly clean up and apparently bumped my nose a bit too much so the whole thing started again. No fucking toilet paper. Sink thatโ€™s permanently stuck on really hot for some reason. I heard a line forming and ended up hobbling down the stairs to the customer service desk while holding my nose and looking at the roof, and asked the PSOs for some tissues, they didnโ€™t have any but said there was a better toilet down the end of that platform which did have toilet paper. Managed to get it under control but what a wild adventure. Also stole some toilet paper should my nose break on the way back

No clue what caused it, it just decided to happen at the most inconvenient time possible๐Ÿ™ƒ

Edit: rewrote half my comment because Jesus Christ I wasnโ€™t making any sense at all

@Reonn @CEOofmyhouse56 crap, what area are you in? I checked the outages list and it was still huge yesterday. Iโ€™m in a rural area that gets regular outages, but they are usually resolved within about 12 hours. But the amount of trees down, damaged or basically exploded on the drive out from the city today wasโ€ฆ exceptional. Iโ€™m not surprised itโ€™s taking them quite a while to rectify all the issues.

Sounds awful. Hang in there, they are working on it. The damage was so extensive and thereโ€™s only so many repair crews. Are you able to stay with someone overnight to get a break from it?

How come? That seems like a rather long time to be without power.

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

Some sad news. A neighbour found the corpse of Mr Magpie. He and Mrs Magpie lived in the big gum tree in the roundabout at the end of the street and raised several families there. Presumably the hot windy day last week knocked him off his perch.
However, in slightly more cheerful news, Mrs Magpie fronted up for feeding time at another neighbourโ€™s place this morning, bringing another Mrs Magpie with her. Very very Thornbury.
