September
23
so instead of usually waking to sunshine at 5.30am (Jovie is HUNGRY!), most of eastern Australia has woken to this –

and puzzled, they’ve stumbled out of bed and looked out the window to see something like this –

a dust storm! blown in from the Northern Territory and South Australia they’ve said.
i was going to take Jovie out for her 4 month shots today, but i don’t think i’ll risk her being outside, even for a few minutes. it can wait until Saturday. plus, i can imagine the dr’s office is going to be swamped with people with respiratory issues … i don’t have asthma but i’ve already got a headache and it’s only 8am.
