No work for me today. No buses running in London at all. All trains suspended, and only two tube lines working. Can't ever remember it being this bad. 
Anyway, it's a day off work.

That's a bit like what happened here in Melbourne! Only here the trains were suspended because the tracks got too hot and warped. And the power went out in the city loop. And it happened at the end of the day, so it meant I couldn't get home from work.
That's the worst bit. Had I been suicidal, I could have walked in the snow for an hour and a half to Brixton and got on one of the two tube lines running. As the weather is expected to get worse this afternoon and this evening, I'd then be faced with a nightmare journey home. So I stayed put.
Warped tracks - holy shit balls.
It was 45 degrees here on Friday, Bev. We still had to work though. I'd rather be snowed in.
Yeah, I reckon I'd prefer that, on a work day and all. It's quite cool when you don't have to go out in it - we went out for about 20 minutes this morning to play in the snow, which was fun, but having to actually travel through it is utterly shit.

getting messages from both friends in London and Melbourne complaining about things.
pretty bad all around.
my ex-girlfriend in Brunei says that it's been raining almost non-stop for 3 weeks over there, being pretty much the worse she has ever seen, and resulting in about 7 or 8 deaths so far.
Friends in the states having their houses suddenly buried under snow was a bit of a surprise to them.
seems to be bad everywhere right now.
so we should just sit back, crack open a beer and wait for the 2nd Coming.

I'm ronery.
so ronery.
was watching the news tonight and saw that parts of Queensland has been flooded.
selfish bastards.
they should sent that shit down to the Murray/Darling Basin and fix that mess up.
but think that Queensland and the NT were hit by same monsoon cells that have been battering South East Asia for the past few weeks.
supposedly cool change moving in next week but we need it sooner.
especially you boys in Melbourne.
It better be fuckin' gone by the time I get there. I didn't pay £850 to sit in the pissing rain, I can do that in London for free!!
No respect for tourists, honestly...

"saw that parts of Queensland has been flooded."
They said that those parts are about the same size in area as South Australia haha. I think something like 60% of QLD was declaired a disaster zone the other day.

Part of Queenslad went black the other week, meaning no electricity North of Rocky.
Scared the bejeezus out of the electricity industry, as you need electricity to get a power station running, and when things are "black", you haven't got any.
