Let's hope that's it then. That one was big enough for me. It's odd how we seem to get them in hot weather. I don't remember one last year, but over the past few years, we've had a couple in the summer months

I have often wondered when they happen, why it is always in the hot weather.

 

I can live without having any more.......

Bayswater is just down the road from here - about 5kms, I hope that was it, too, Deb. The dog had been sooky for an hour or so before it happened but is now calm, The cats slept through it all.lol. I haven't checked for moved objects etc yet but I heard nothing fall.

Hi Blue,

The cat that's indoors here was crying out lol, he's a big sook. I just had a look @ twitter and I'm surprised the ABC hasn't reported anything about it .so far anyway

OH says he didn't notice it in Camberwell
