A long time ago when petrol was affordable and I had hair I could actually style into the shape of something, I lived and worked in beautiful Warnambool where a trip to the foreshore was less than five minutes drive away. And in my single days, I quite enjoyed walking along the foreshore at dusk, even when it was wet and miserable. I had my jacket and my disc man and off I went in my own little world, really bumping into another person on those wooden walkways.
The problem there is, I live and work in Albury NSW now and we're a good five hours away from the nearest ocean doorstop.
Welcome to the polar blast people..
Yeah I won't go into how cold it is but walking around with a similar do like mine (read: shaved) does make it feel like you're constantly talking on a MND Ice Bucket challenge constantly. Luckily it's warm at work and the work jacket doubles as super cosy insulation. Plus if there's one thing I'm loving about my Subaru at the moment, it's the intense heat it's able to pump out through the air conditioner. While it's not nuclear fire level like my old Mazda was capable of, it does come pretty close.
Again, welcome to the polar blast people..
POLAR BEARS WITH MASSIVE CANNONS?
No thing more of a cold snap that's worked it's way from the bottom of the
planet and is now bringing Australian down to temps we haven't seen in a
while. Low low colds with that slap in the face cold feeling when you step
outside, just a couple of steps away from it actually snowing (apparently this
could happen if you're 500+ meters like where Lu lives). Chris a senior
meteorologist from the bureau of meteorology revealed on the show today that
he's been busier than ever before because of it, due to the main question
'Bloody hell, why is it so cold here all of a sudden?'
Tops of just 10
degrees all day will make you ask something like that.
And while the cold front has moved off shore (not sure here who it's going to freeze next) apparently it's left some high speed winds in its wake and that probably means a lot more felled trees over the next day or so. Great.
BROTHER CAN YOU SPARE A TANK?
James Lake from the news room confirmed the story I briefly saw across the
weekend and that was about Russia running out of tanks amongst other things in
the conflict with the Ukraine. Apparently so many of them have been blown up,
they're reverting to reserve machinery and that means tanks and carriers from
60 years ago, forced out of retirement (or as museum displays) to fight
again.
We can only hope their supplies are whittled down even further to
the point they'll find themselves just with sticks, hoping the Ukranians will
surrender from laughing too hard.
AND WHAT'S YOUR (FIRST WORLD) PROBLEM
Remember when I revealed there was a Mike Oldfield CD stuck in my Subaru
a few posts ago? While it's still there (and seemingly not coming out soon) it did make a
great first world problem in today's talk topic 'What's your first world
problem.'
Lu joined in by revealing her first world issue was the drive
through this morning and having to wait behind the guy who ordered enough
Macca's breakfast to feed a small army, when all she hit the drive through for
was a big bucket of coffee.
Well that's a massive first worlder if
ever we heard of one and just as good as Greg's on the Facebook page - he's
not getting enough likes on his Tik Toks.
Ouch, I know how you feel
there Greg, first world dramas all the way with that one!
TOMORROW WE BREAK OUT THE STONES
Fight for your Flashback returns, it's 5-2 in Lu's favour. Tomorrow due to the weather we battle with 'cold' songs. Lu's chosen a rap classic while I'm opting for a Rolling Stones hit from the year I was born. Should be fun!
Chat to you then!
