Thanks @Brian!

My dog's breeders are in Lewiston, which I believe is just north of you. They've been complaining about the heat, so they'll appreciate the cooler weather.

The cool change that @Brian sent arrived this morning, and the emergency map of Victoria is no longer red.

A woman in Melbourne posted this on X, complaining that the fire advisories were an unnecessary restriction on liberty.

Lake Eildon was in the path of the bushfire yesterday. She had a lot of replies calling her out on that.

With the help of @denim-dawg and his wife, Ulrika, Paula found what she was looking for.....

@Giles & @Madame-Buttonfly You both look beautiful.

What fantastic photos. You can see on both your faces how truly happy this bucket list experience is making you two. Really beautiful.

This is also on Morgan’s (and mine’s) top “must experience” events. We are trying to make it happen in the next couple years. @giles how far outside of Tromsø did you guys go? Looks like maybe you stayed in a remote cabin?

[Giles]

Some of the photos were taken at @denim-dawg s house, some about 20km outside of Tromsø

@Giles Really beautiful and breath taking. Ralph gave them a ^ as well.

Weirdly, this is so.
I say weirdly because Giles is in the picture

[Oaktavia]

@Giles wow, those photos are incredible. They would look great framed on a wall in your house.

Great that the V&A are doing so much Bowie stuff, but feel bad for the neighbors

Starting at 29:50, proof that Germans either hate kids or have the most subversive sense of humour on earth
