That's the old one.

This is Peter the Rock & Roll.

Nah. None of that glory or talent.

 

Just plain mad. In a mostly harmless way

FFS! Despite spending an amount that would materially add to my pension on the heating in this place, it has bloody well gone again, just when we need it most (so far this winter). In the 7 years we have been here, we have had two winters without any heating; and 4 with a decent interruption to it. This time, there is something wrong with the boiler and it is blowing fumes back into the house. The CO2 detectors aren't ringing, but there is that smell of burnt jet fuel (they are oil burners). A plumber came out and issued a safety notice, so it is illegal to ignite the boiler until it is repaired and signed off.. and he can't come out until the end of next week!

You don't need to go out into the Wilderness to stay warm. Over the next few days most of the southern part of teh continent will suffer temperatures into the mid-40s. And not a single sign of rain to follow.

Melbourne is forecast for 40° tomorrow (Saturday) and 42° Tuesday. Ouyen is forecast for 48°.

Ouyen is always the hottest in the state. They must have a candle under the instrument. Cities create some of their OWN Heat. They COULD be  designed better in that respect. Nev
