Went to sleep in the foothills of the Dandenongs. With all the noise last night, surprised the house isn't now in Kansas...

Five-year-old woke up at 3:30am upset from all the noise, and that was pretty much the end of our sleep for the night!

Everything appeared intact this morning at least. Dream drive in to work, nobody on the roads - I'm very jealous of the WFH-brigade!!!

Miniest couldn't get to sleep at first due to the noise, then wouldn't stay asleep. Didn't help having a half demolished house down the road, lots of banging and loose sheet metal type of noises. If I sent her to school she'd fall asleep at her desk, which she's done before, so she can stay home. Wish I could too, but I'm off to work in an unusually empty bus.
