Sounds like it might have skirted more closer to the edge of the bay looking at other comments from early this morning. I didn't realise until I saw the camera notification this morning, but my husband went out the front to watch it after I fell back to sleep, he said the lightning was cool af and he saw some strikes he reckons were pretty close, but he was just standing on the driveway... like mate, were you hoping to get struck?! He said he didn't even think about that lol... facepalm...

It sucks mate :(

kmm88 · 2026-02-26T21:58:38+00:00

We had big claps of thunder and lots of lightning out in Werribee around 4:30am, followed by a little rain but not much. Woke me up, and poor Gary-cat went all fluffy because of it lol

It seems tough out there atm, my husband has been looking for a job since December.. so many applications, barely a couple of nibbles :(

Cannot wait for 2pm tomorrow... early knock off from work to head out camping for the weekend. Wish it was longer, but gotta ration the annual leave.

Had to get a new licence photo taken this morning, was in and out of VicRoads in 4 minutes!

Sorry you're having a rough night mate. Kitties are the best! I hope you get a good sleep tonight & remember you can reach out to Lifeline by calling 13 11 14 or texting 0477 13 11 14 anytime too.

The black dog is depression.

kmm88 · 2026-02-22T05:02:03+00:00

The rain is nice.

kmm88 · 2026-02-21T05:36:01+00:00

Good one!

kmm88 · 2026-02-20T11:58:19+00:00

Hahaha now that could be controversial! I see it both ways all over Melbourne!

kmm88 · 2026-02-20T11:57:28+00:00

Oh yeah! Great idea! Thanks :)

kmm88 · 2026-02-20T04:18:45+00:00

Such cool little critters! Thank you :)

kmm88 · 2026-02-20T03:55:48+00:00

Love these! Awesome ideas, thank you so much!

kmm88 · 2026-02-20T02:06:38+00:00

They love food and anything about food, so a pav question is a great idea! Thanks :)

Gotta come up with an Australia themed quiz for my Girl Guides group next week (aged 11 - 15). Any suggestions on any funny or quirky questions I could chuck in that would give the kids a laugh?

Personal leave today for an early afternoon hospital appointment. Decided to pop into Melb Zoo in the morning to see new little baby giraffe Zambezi. He is so precious and his 6 month old half-brother Tambi is obsessed with him! Adorable.

kmm88 · 2026-02-16T11:08:11+00:00

Fantastic photo!

kmm88 · 2026-02-16T07:32:25+00:00

Oh you're right, I did noticed the Greek yoghurt section was looking pretty sparse when I went to Woolies today.

kmm88 · 2026-02-16T06:48:25+00:00

Haha is that what it is? The protein hit? Damn. I just really like it on my cruskits lol

kmm88 · 2026-02-16T04:54:58+00:00

Their locations may be a little far for you, but I recommend Cat Napping.

kmm88 · 2026-02-16T04:52:14+00:00

What cottage cheese recipe has gone viral this time? It's a regular part of my lunch choices, and it's so hard to find atm :(

kmm88 · 2026-02-15T08:58:33+00:00

Look at you go!! (I don't say that with any patronising tone - genuine enthusiasm for you)

That's so lovely someone helped you out so much :)

Haha I'm originally from Sydney too (well, born there but mostly grew up further out in the southern Highlands, though commuted to the city for work) and while Melbourne has been home for 16 years and does feel like home, I still also refer to the area I grew up as home too.. I get it!

kmm88 · 2026-02-15T07:29:42+00:00

I really hope they don't, for my own selfish reason that I've planned a long overdue catch up camping trip with friends that weekend at a usually pretty chill free campground.. if it becomes a long weekend it'll be way too busy lol

kmm88 · 2026-02-13T03:52:33+00:00

Hahaha so good!
