Well bugger me, today is the 1st day of Autumn, so summer is finished.

Does anyone recall it actually starting?

I don't recall a summer before where I've had to use the heater more times than the airconditioner.

Yep, maybe one or two hot days at most! Pretty weird. Nice change after the previous year's bushfire season, at least.

^ Yes - nearly 3 billion animals were killed or displaced by last year's bushfires.

im happy re the bushfires & animals although fuckheads made up for it a bit with bulldozing Koala sites and shooting season. (heres a better sport, shoot at each other), i guess the shit summer really finishes off a $�$%^%%$ shit year!! ist covid cases 25.1.20 - 4 passengers from - wait for it, China! - but its all dans fault! or maybe trumps

emergency response button hit 27/2

first death - a year ago today

The time line is below

now we need one for job losses, financial disaster, the rise and then fall again of human kindness, plus the toilet paper sales stats might be interesting.
