A Change

I closed down the computer last night as told by the Dept of Whatever. The storm passed with lots of wind, sheet lightening and very little rain.

The storm was preceded by another dust storm.

Although warned not to use the phone, I disobeyed and phoned my Son In Law and Daughter and learned they were watching it pass through the State. But, it did not do what meteorologists thought it would.

It was just another night when the angels were moving their furniture and lighting candles in the sky only to blow them out again.

Also learned there are signs around Lake Wendouree telling people to stay out of the bed of the Lake. Apparently what is left of the bed is like quicksand which is understandable.

Today is much cooler and more tolerable.

The rain would have been welcomed immensely, but for us in this part of the mallee region it was more like a dry storm.

The main thing we have to worry about here in storms such as that are fire globes. These are balls of fire which hit the earth from outer space and cause terrible fires.

I still feel a bit tired. I think heavy winds wind must cause tiring affects on the human body.

    As if you wouldn't be tired? The heat, trouble with the air conditioner, the coming storm, waiting for the unexpected, the wind, the cool change. They all combine to have some impact on the human body Sim. Hang in there.

    We all feel tired Sim but didn't have to clean dust from a dust storm out of an air conditioner yesterday and don't live where you live.I suppose you have to redo it after the dust storm hitting before the storm last night.

    Michael, if anyone really wants to make me feel as sick as a dog,all they have to do is give me a smell of that stuff!
    Nope, not a teetotaller, now and then I'll have a drink to be sociable, but it's one drink only!

    gahhhh ..... couldn't sleep. After a day like that sleep deprivation can lead to depression when you have nobody to talk to.

    Glad to know you were joking about the beer!

    I read that entry and was worried about you. I thought that's what happened as it happened to me and I turned to my blog as a shoulder to cry on same way. Glad you are alright now but you have some serious issues there that need seeing to. Don't allow people to walk all over you Sim! Stand up to them!
