You are cordially invited to take a look at Saturday’s weather.

I ask again: where is the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness?

[–] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Look, can we not

I plead ignorance.

I'm going camping this weekend and taking a heap of kids. Die from heat Saturday, extreme fire danger, hot nights, then a downpour on Sunday. Should be interesting.

It's not quite enough to justify cancelling on a lot of people, but I'm watching the forecast very closely.

At least Monday looks nice and normal.

I wouldn't, personally. Unless I was staying on the beach.

[–] underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

If it was just family or friends then I'd totally cancel. But there are a lot of moving parts. We'll be fine, a heap of contingency plans are in place. But I would prefer some chill weather.

I can loan you a big festival esky if it'll help. I think it's 80litre, maybe 100.

[–] underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks! I'm sorted, I've got 2x 60L and a fridge not too far away if needed for overflow.

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Methinks it could be the final beach day for the year.
