No power for 5 days so we took contents of fridge & freezer & went & lived on the boat (not hard we do it every weekend). Took me 2 hours+ to get to work each day but with GPS thngy I didn't have to give up. Can't say I did a full 8 hour day every day & went in jeans & deck shoes.

As if the Queensland floods, then Victorian floods, then cyclone Yasi isn't enough, Melbourne copped the tail of Yasi and suburbs & countryside flooding last night & today AND now bushfires on the outskirts of Perth.
The only thing we haven't had is an earthquake (WTF was that?) and a plague.
I forgot - a plague of locusts just before Xmas in NSW & Victoria.
It's not usually like this folks.

Malawi to debate public farting

//Malawian MPs will next week debate a law change to criminalise public farting, which a cabinet minister said had been encouraged by democracy.
'The government has a right to ensure public decency. We are entitled to introduce order in the country,' justice and constitutional affairs minister George Chaponda told independent radio station Capital Radio.
'Would you like to see people farting in public anywhere?'
Since the country embraced multi-party politics 16 years ago people had felt free to fart anywhere, said Chaponda.
'It was not there during the time of dictatorship because people were afraid of the consequences. Now because of multipartism or freedom, people would like to fart anywhere, he said.
Chaponda, a key figure in President Bingu wa Mutharika's government, said that if Malawians cannot control their farting 'they should go to the toilet instead of farting in public.'
'Nature can be controlled... it becomes a nuisance if people fart anywhere.'
A lawyer himself, Chaponda said that under the amended law farting will be considered a minor offence.
Chaponda's Democratic Progressive Party will bank on its majority to pass the amendment to a law which was first introduced in 1929.
The amendment, which will make farting in public an offence, is not yet public and it will be presented to parliament for debate as part of a review by the state-sponsored Law Commission of the country's penal code.
Nobody in Malawi has been arrested nor convicted for farting under the old law, as police did not enforce it.
The old law states: 'Any person who voluntarily vitiates the atmosphere in any place so as to make it noxious to the health of persons in general dwelling or carrying on business in the neighbourhood or passing along a public way, shall be guilty of a misdemeanour.'
