Aaarrrghhhh! The power is back on!

Large areas of Victoria were 'blacked out' today into the evening. Many people were distressed, traffic was in chaos, public transport off the rails, no cricket on TV, McDonalds had no aircon...... just terrible. BUT I was jumping for joy - a chance for a really dark sky in suburbia.

Listened to the radio, forecast as for power to be back on at about midnight - yahoo!!! Venus looked super, skys were darkening, Sirius popped into vision, things were really cool (but hot temperature wise!).

All set up and ready to play, and guess what???!!!! Street lights, aircon kicked in..... curses. Light levels escalated.....

Hissy fit. Gonna watch the cricket and mutter a bit. We aren't doing too good there either!

Too Roo,

Wren
