smoke!

The smoke in Melbourne is now bad enough that I've ordered reusable facemasks for the entire family. FUN.

Keeping the kids inside today, away from smoke and exercise. This involves lots of television. (The alternative would be the entire house getting torn apart by kidlets with too much energy.) A shame, but there it is.

Also, the sun is now at the point where you can look at it, eclipse-style. I've been closing curtains so that the kidlets don't stare and accidentally blind themselves...
