PeelerSheila, 
I found that too! I live near both a Coles and a Woolies and checked them both out. Nothing.
Duenan, Don’t know what’s going on, not sure if I should go out of my way to check another store tomorrow.
PeelerSheila, (edited ) Hi there! I know it’s been a week but I just read this and thought of you, so I thought I’d share. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-01/…/103532172?utm_so…
Edit: my original source was news dot com (ugh) but Thornbury witch posted this one so I swapped it out.

CEOofmyhouse56,

Duenan, That reminds me Brunswick Original Kippers on sale for $2 a tin at woolworths for the next week.
Force_majeure123, Time to stock up, thanks!
imoldgreeeg, (edited ) 
Oh bad fire up around Beaufort :-(
EDIT: Western highway closed and VLine suspended both ways from Ballarat <-> Ararat. Vic emergency link if anyone needs it www.emergency.vic.gov.au/respond/
just_kitten, 
Yeah just saw this image from my relatives all the way in Delacombe. Looks worse than last week’s fire around Burrumbeet or wherever it was.
Really glad we’ve had no bushfire smoke in Melbourne so far, although my air purifier is sitting pretty

ReadEverything, 
Mostly passively cooled house 24.7 degrees, outside 31.6, still bearable inside. We have no A/C, only cooling is ceiling fans and curtains on only 6 out of our 30 windows. I’m glad we aren’t having too many hot days in a row this summer.
Gibsonisafluffybutt, Come on cool change…
Bottom_racer, 
Just came from the beach and the cool change hit. 60km SSW of melbs… you guyzz just have to… rave choon it
Hold on
CEOofmyhouse56, Sky not so pretty
imoldgreeeg, Its getting quite apocalyptic. Really weird glow
bacon, sky smoky :(
Thornburywitch, 
I think I’ll go home via an air-conditioned pub. The cool change has apparently reached Ocean Grove but no further until 7 pm.
useless_modern_god, Coriander Margaritas…🍹
Thornburywitch, With some chilli sprinkles - could catch on.
Bottom_racer, It has just hit about 20 mins ago :)
Catfish, 
Fuck! Shattered tooth. All the bad dreams are true
Duenan, Oh no! :(
Catfish, First am appointment Obtained. Will still have to deal with looking like a cartoon until then.
TinyBreak, just had to add some cardboard boxes and another blanket over the window in the study. Rest of the house is ok but the study is struggling. I feel for those without AC today, this is pretty warm!
Seagoon_, 
If you can spray water on the outside walls, the paths near the house and the garden. The evaporative cooling of the area will help a bit.
kudra, 
@Seagoon_ @TinyBreak very sage advice.
TinyBreak, Good advice. I did this Wednesday, unfortunately the wall in question is the longest in the house, and gets blasted with all of the afternoon sun. even after 2/3 minutes of cold water on the bricks the water was still warm by the time it reached the bottom of the wall. I think its the dark tiles on the roof that make it the worst though.
Seagoon_, So I’ve been finishing all the half watched movies and yesterday it was In Bruges.
More than half way thru and I’m thinking, Wow, I’ve never seen Liam Neeson so good in a role, it’s like he’s really acting. It was Ralph Fiennes. 🤪
Force_majeure123, Really awesome movie, seems to not get as much love as it deserves
imoldgreeeg, I love In Bruges!
Seagoon_, All the actors were really good.
imoldgreeeg, Yeah I also loved Banshees of Inisherin (which had Colin Farrell and Brian Gleeson again) but it was so so dark at times.
Seagoon_, It had some very sad moments.
and reminded me of these old, and at the time, very famous movies
imoldgreeeg, ooh I will look them up (when I find a suitably reflective yet not depressed mood)
Seagoon_, they aren’t sad movies, they are interesting
imoldgreeeg, Cool. Ta.
dumblederp, 
Is $1500 reasonable for a conveyancer? Via the www.home-in.com.au portal.
tone212_, 
Does that include all the certificates etc that they need to order as part of the process? If not, that price is a couple of hundred dollars too high. Shop around.
Duenan, Hmm I wonder if Devon and Strasberg go together well in a sandwich.
Gibsonisafluffybutt, You’re from Adelaide right?
Duenan, Nope. Born and bred in Melbourne.
CEOofmyhouse56, They are pretty similar so I’d say yes. Make sure you add sauce.
Duenan, Going to use tomato sauce, maybe also some cheap greens if I can find any.
Eagle, 
Greens? Don’t you mean plastic cheese?
Duenan, Actually good point! I think I have enough cheese slices to cover me.
CEOofmyhouse56, We’ve been invited to a wedding but the reception joint was set on fire last night. Interesting. More to come…
Duenan, I suppose it’d be too much to assume it was an act of god or a natural disaster?
CEOofmyhouse56, I doubt it
Catfish, Which God and was the disaster prevented?
Duenan, The answer to both are Take your Pick.
Seagoon_, well this is a letter I have never read on Miss Manners
Catfish, Themed fancy dress in the car park? Play is that s as fireperson or a stripper?
CEOofmyhouse56, 😂 I’m interested to see what happens next.
Dear Miss Manners, Our reception joint caught on fire. Is it alright to convene at the local pub?
Seagoon_, I shoulda known better than to hire a place named “The Sopranos”.
Thornburywitch, I wonder what illegal shit they were selling. Or do you think it was a dissatisfied customer?
CEOofmyhouse56, Well apparently both the Thomastown and Thornbury fires are linked and have something to do with a boxing match that was to be held.
Thornburywitch, Age article Hope this works - have had little luck posting links recently. Lemme know if it doesn’t work.
CEOofmyhouse56, Yes it did work. Thank you very much.
useless_modern_god, I have secured a date with the God Emperor in March.
Bless the maker and his water.🪱
