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.

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

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

@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
