POTN Aussie club # 10..'The Shame'

Damn Melbourne is going underwater, here's the view from my house as of a few minutes ago (living next to a creek doesn't help!):

Nowhere near QLD's scale, but we've never seen anything like it!

Way more water than I'd be comfortable having that close to my house.

Meanwhile, I woke up in 32C / 60%, felt like hell, and bailed. Currently sitting on the lounge in my server room at work with my laptop enjoying the 19C temp.

This morning, at 6am, it was 27º but 90% humidity. Alas the humidity didn't decrease as the temp rose.

A/C is a very good thing.

Can anyone ID this little fella for me?
Was a nightmare to capture. There were half a dozen darting around a dead shrub and rarely sat still long enough for me to focus. Have about 50 blurred pics.

haha they are darned difficult to photograph! That's a great grab!

That's a female Superb Wren

Dinner was an "Annie Special" - potato wedges fried up with various things I can't remember. Dessert was apple crumble with Maggie Beer burned fig ice cream. From memory the beverage of choice was just coke


Currently 35.6 in my loungeroom, 37.6 in the bedroom.

You know it!

Waking up in 30 degree heat is so wrong! However, It did have a silver lining...As of 6am, I'm an uncle.
