So, how have all your day been? I witnessed the worst possible dust storm blowing from the west this morning, enjoyed the gale force wind that saw trees broken in halves. I have yet to witness a flying cow but the welcoming rain that followed was a blessing since my car was covered completely in dust. The Melbourne International Flower Show was cancelled and visitors were evacuated after falling branches hit several visitors. And that is just the weather.

The traffic … how long did it take you to drive/ride home? I saw the long traffic on the Calder snaking itself back into the city. I missed all the chaos on the Westgate bridge, and the traffic out of the city was really a standing room only carpark.

And as I was leaving the city this evening, I saw the police cordoning off the RACV building on Bourke Street. Fire in the kitchen? They aren’t having a good evening either.
