Ground floor. The southerly on Friday brought with it some of the red centers finest topsoil so I’m trying to clean it off things without using the hose.

There’s people building a new house a couple of doors up. The noise they manage to generate at 7am on the dot is extraordinary.

NPR Journalizard posted:I had this for loving ages as well, except it was less then 5m from my bedroom window. Used to piss me off because they would start at 7am, then stop for the day at like 2:30. Delay it an hour each end fuckos, and let me sleep. It won’t be an issue for me in a couple of weeks when I’m back at work but I’m on holiday time which means I don’t want to wake up early at all if I can help it.

I'm watching a storm develop and intesify round Bathurst which should hit the mountains in the next hour or so.

I went out and checked the rain guage before and we've already managed to get 30mm. It hasn't stopped raining yet and it looks like more is coming from out west. Should do the fires up here a world of good.

Gotta love a storm warning that includes the phrase "giant hail". The radar shows a storm heading towards us but there is no purple in the bit coming so perhaps we will miss the hail.

It changed hands along the way so it isn’t the original owners anymore. I’d imagine the menu is still real similar to what I was cooking for them 10+ years ago.

tardwrangler posted:We've been stuffing our faces for days because thats what the clan does. I found the portions a bit overwhelming but tasty enough. More like well prepared pub food than the insanely tasty microportions at the hydro Yeah that doesn't surprise me about the Hydro. The people who own it also own Echoes and Lilianfels in Katoomba. They're legit cunts to work for but they nail the food. The portions where always a little hosed size wise at the Avalon and cooking the same thing day in day out got a bit much. I still don't know how anyone managed to finish the large size dijon chicken cause that thing was too much as a small let alone a large. It's a study in massive amounts of carbs which a very rich creamy sauce.

Thunderstorms keep forming to the north of me but they aren't reaching us so it's just humid and gross. I was looking at past hottest 100's yesterday and I think 2001 to about 2011 is like my prime time of music listening. These days I tend to just listen to spotify in the car rather than the radio.

Survived the first day back at work after the break then spent some time this afternoon cleaning and refilling the birdbaths because it's supposed to be hot for the rest of the week and I don't want to come home to dead birds on my lawn.

Normally I can tell if it's the weekend or not based on Blow's posting but he's confusing things this week. Doping any kind of animal is poo poo teir behaviour whether it extends their life or not. I refilled all of the birdbaths today so that hopefully I don't end up with flaky magpies on my lawn in the heat tomorrow

It's still 36 outside and the inside of my house is currently 33. Trying to cool the house down is not going well cause I can't even water the garden to get some evaporative cooling going.

Lolie posted:Similar here and that's with two portable air conditioners running. It's not supposed to drop below 30 until after midnight so opening everything up when I go to bed isn't going to make much difference. Gonna be Tuesday before the temperature is low enough for everything to start cooling down properly. We have 2 normal fans and not much else. The workshops at school are gonna be hosed on monday after sitting closed with nothing running all weekend. Normally they stay decently cool but struggle when theres multiple hot days. We aren't allowed aircon either so we rely on fans to do the cooling. Rock the turban with pride lolie.

That's similar to the mountains where the wind blows through valleys before hitting sheer cliffs and accelerating. Sometimes the offical wind is far worse than what we experience a few km's down the road because the only weather station in the mountains sits on a super exposed ridge line with nothing but bush and the highway surrounding it.

Malcolm Turnbeug posted:It’s crazy bc we have a lot of tall skinny trees around here and you can see rows of them blowing in one direction while the other trees are blowing the opposite direction. Valleys gently caress with the winds pretty badly and it hasn't helped the fires any either. I once made the mistake of going on a walk on a decently windy day. When we reached a cliff line that faced to the south I nearly got blown sideway after stepping in some mud. Southerly has arrived so I'm expecting the smoke to follow in it's wake.

tardwrangler posted:Lol Mt Boyce. I haven't heard that but it makes sense. I do like that the long term climate records still come from the weather station in Katoomba which is once again sitting on top of a ridge but has been running since 1885 which is checked every morning at 9am and no other time.
