Last weekend we went fishing with the kids and tried to buy worms on the way…
Between here and Mansfield not one place had worms in stock, and no one seemed to know when they’d get them again.
James was sooky, the kids were disappointed… so we decided to source our own worms.
And now here we are…
Selling fishing worms in a paint shop. 😂

One of those moments that confirms James is better out on the tools than behind the counter.
Bonus points for it being magenta… one of the more expensive tinters. 🤦‍♀️
Because if you’re going to make a mess, it may as well be the pricey colour.
Thankfully we stock the perfect clean-up products:
Krud Kutter • Pacer Waterbased Turps • FMG White Rags

Would be absolutely amazing if we could get this service back in the valley 😊

We finally have our petition to the Minister for Environment up and running. We are grateful to everyone that has made a complaint to Visy; this petition is pretty much our last avenue to get re-opened. We need as many signatures as possible so the Minister hears that this is what our community wants and needs.

Please feel free to share this.

Read below, this is as good as excuse ever to close up shop and take the kids to the beach for the day. It is certainly not painting weather. Stay safe everyone and see you on Monday.

We want to speak plainly about what is forecast for Friday 9 January, because this is shaping up to be one of the most dangerous fire weather days since Black Summer (2019/20).

As of Wednesday, 7 January, three Victorian forecast districts are already predicted to reach Catastrophic fire danger.
The rest of the state – including Central (which includes Melbourne and the Yarra Valley) – is forecast to be Extreme, and at the higher end of Extreme, with the potential to escalate further as conditions are refined.

To put this into real terms, Yarra Glen is:
• Forecast 42°C
• Strong north-westerly winds of 35–50 km/h
• A late south-westerly cool change

That combination is one of the most dangerous fire weather setups we see in Victoria.
A late south-westerly wind change has the potential to rapidly turn the flank or edge of a large fire into a fast-moving, wide fire front, placing new areas at risk with little warning.

These are the kinds of conditions that have driven major fire events, including during the 2019/20 and 2009 fire seasons.

🔥 Why this matters
On days like this:
• Fires can start easily and spread extremely fast
• Fires may be impossible to contain or control
• Spot fires can occur sometimes kilometres ahead of the main fire
• Fire behaviour can change suddenly and violently
• Fires can overwhelm firefighting resources very quickly

🚗 Leave early means early
When authorities say leave early, they mean before a fire starts, not when smoke is visible or sirens are sounding.
In Extreme or Catastrophic conditions, waiting to see what happens can remove your safest option.

📻📱 Have more than one way to get warnings
Do not rely on a single source.
• ABC Radio 774 AM
• VicEmergency app and website
• Local emergency and community pages
• A battery-powered radio in case power or mobile networks fail

If one system fails, you need another.

This is not about panic.
It is about recognising a dangerous forecast, learning from past fire seasons, and making decisions early.

Please take the time now to prepare, talk with family and neighbours, and have a clear plan for Friday.

We're all hoping the day turns into a fizzer, but we still ask, heed the warnings and keep a level head.

Stay safe. We love our community.

Decided I needed a white board in the shop, could have gone to Kmart and got a ready made one but.. it seemed way more fun to order in a product not yet trialled by us and let James make it for me (I can only assume he is very excited 😀)
Will update you all once it's done
