Sosai Z is finally succeeding...his plan to end the universe with one swift ice age, followed by a BBQ, is finally coming into play. I'm seeing a plot evolving here.

End of the world invitations are being sent by email.

That actually doesn't sound so bad... after all we could use some respite from the heat, and it's always good to have ice at a barbecue to keep the drinks cold.

It took a week for the water to reach us but we got to 'moderate' flood levels. Thankfully, no homes have been impacted by the flood so we get to enjoy the spectacle of Mother Nature demonstrating her power.

Now that it's officially autumn here in Australia, the south west corner is getting hot, humid weather with a prediction of low rainfall ahead!

I knew it was going to be a hot day today when I opened the laundry door this morning and found myself face-to-face with the kangaroos, who had been lying down in the shade of the back verandah. They're currently on their second bucket of water.

Now that it's March, the March Flies have also turned up (I know, the word is from the archaic 'march' meaning 'marsh,' not the month of March) and I swear they're at least 25% bigger than they were last year! It's not just me, everyone around the place is commenting on the unusually large March Flies.

I suspect these Marchies were designed and manufactured by the same person who put together the robot ants from the ant episode. I haven't checked out their bums but I wouldn't be surprised to see tiny mufflers poking out.

It was wet here in Sydney. At school pick up I had six kids under ten years old, it decides to start pouring rain.... with one umbrella... give up!!
Ebony shouts. "Kids make a run for it, car's that way..."

Kids had a ball, they thought it was exciting, fun, the one falls in the mud... all fun and games...

The fire that destroyed property and livestock just under a month ago (when NSW had "catastrophic" fire conditions) is finally out! It was started by a lightning strike.

Nah... a few more signs to go yet... I've read the Revelations.. not happening yet mate. Wink
