The weather is planning to cool down a bit again though which is a bit of a bonus and hopefully it means work wonât be too busy. If people can just keep their bbqs and spit roasts under control and not run into things in their cars it should be a fairly relaxed day (and itâs casual dress so I get to wear my Christmas t-shirt and antlers).

Some silver linings at least.
Iâm guessing you work in emergency services?
RustyRaven@aussie.zone â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Yes, and people just wonât stop having emergencies so we can shut down for the day. A bit rude really, how hard is it to have just one day without trying to kill yourself? But no, itâs all âIâll just throw this petol on the bbq to get it goingâ or âIâm fine carving the turkey after half a bottle of wineâ.

My favourite is âThese fireworks didnât go off, lets go in for a closer lookâŚface first of courseâ
Glad thereâs people like you who answer these calls, shake their head, and carry on.
