Nice conditions to be working with horses....not. Ballarat included.

Severe
winds with gusts up to 120km/h have been blowing across the west of
Victoria this morning and are anticipated to impact GEELONG in the next
half an hour before progressing to
MELBOURNE. Be advised these winds have already blown down trees, roofs
and powerlines. Tie down loose items. Watch for debris on the road. Do
not shelter under trees. Be safe.

There
was chaos across Ballarat this morning as emergency crews rushed to
multiple incidents brought on by wild winds and wintry downpours.
Ambulance crews, firefighters and police attended reports of a tree across a car just outside of Clunes.
A man was driving along Ballarat-Maryborough road when a large tree collapsed across his vehicle.
Mica paramedic Sean Duggan said the man would be transported to Ballarat Base Hospital with minor injuries.
The road is currently open, however, emergency services are still at the scene.
More than 3000 homes are without power across the city as wild weather descends on Ballarat.
Temperatures
are still below six degrees this morning with winds gusts of around 40
kilometres per hour leading to multiple reports of fallen trees.
Did I mention I needed an excuse to Bless the horse with a Sunday?
If I disappear, you'll know the power got whacked, already have a branch down beside the bedroom window

My bus, as I type this, is stuck in the Otway ranges. Huge winds have bought down loads of trees, so plenty of emergency crews there using chainsaws to cut down trees to allow traffic to get moving again. Power out all the way along the Great Ocean Road too. On the plus side though, 10-12 foot surf at Bells Beach is pretty cool!!

The 20+yo won't ever come in but was firmly ensconced in her hay nest & hasn't surfaced 'till now but the other 'madam' shot in the door at 8 & L felt sorry for her after the footy so left her in. Needless to say she woke him later (I'd sleep thru' a bomb raid ) & he dutifully did the honours i.e. do the crime, do the time . He hates putting her out, that's my job(cruel) but he said to leave her when I shunted off I did actually used to wear long johns in my early days when working the neds, gee they made a huge difference! Fingers & feet are the big losers these days The feels like is only 4.5 but the sun's out with only a light breeze so quite warming when standing in it. Think I'll opt for the heated lounge all the same Fine & frosty right thru' to Sat., albeit max temps of 10/11 so we shouldn't have any cancelled meetings this week & the punters'll appreciate the drier tracks, I'm sure. I guess they can then complain about form reversals

It is in a bottle by the side of my bed.
Being able to hang on to a sense of humour is an incredibly positive
trait. It's a fantastic coping mechanism and has a
reinforcing cycle, because the more you are able to see the funny side
and laugh, the greater the sense of happiness it instils, and that
allows you to see even more positive things.
Humour is a core component
in resiliency and one reason for that is because it's
about seeing things from a different perspective; something that all the
best cartoonists and comedians do.
The happiest and most successful
people don't just stop at one way of looking at a situation; they'll
explore other ways. That's also the basis of cognitive behavioural
therapy, which is very successful in treating all kinds of depression.

Crazy ass weather this morning. Awful for tour companies let me tell you.

I like coffee, but only usually have one or two cups a day, interestingly ( or not ) I find one particular brand of instant coffee rather creamy and rich, Bushells classic...
and I have become it's biggest fan, unfortunately my local Woolies is out of it at the moment so I had to buy Nescafe, that stuff is absolute garbage, I will be throwing it away.

At the risk of further pigeon-holing myself, instant coffee is an absolute disgrace to mankind, and all those that drink it should be banished to the outer suburbs forever and a day.... Seriously though, there are some things that you should never accept a substitute. Salt and fat reduced peanut butter is one (disgusting) but coffee is the main one. There is simply no excuse for instant.
