Monday at work.
To top it all off I had one great morning I couldn't find my car keys had to unpack everything out of the car and couldnt find anywhere. Back tracked everywhere on the block got my next door neighbor out of bed searched his place and nowhere to be found. Got back to the car and they were in the ignition. I can see this is going to be a great day.

haha sounds like one of those days. Best to just sit infront of the box with a beer. Sometimes when opening the door to leave, I'll remember I've forgotten something, go and get it, then ofcourse I can't find the keys and angrily run around the whole house looking for them when I'm in a rush only to find they've been in the door the whole time.

Hey Sab

I reckon the end result of a KFC binge could be pretty terrifying.

It is, but it's over in 5 minutes.

Melbourne's climate on the other hand, is a life sentence with no parole.

I have my camera club turning up this evening hoping to take some wide fields and maybe some moonage through the scopes.
This is the second month in a row we'll have had to cancel.
The good news is, I'll get to eat all the brownies I baked, myself.

This weather is caused by someone's desire for a certain 10" dob.
Even thinking about purchasing it has released the rain hounds.

OMG 3 days of sunshine in a row forecast for here! http://www.bom.gov.au/vic/forecasts/melbourne.shtml NO WAY! But jesus this cold is getting out of control

NO jetstream either, smack bang under the centre of the high pressure system. I've got a good feeling about this
