Good morning.
Not much to report today, we went and spent a few hours with our son...he seems to be coping with the New circumstance he now lives with... still apprehensive about going to bed of a night... wondering if he will wake up... will take some time to get his head around it.
We went to Bunnings on the way home wallet $500 lighter... don't ask...
Still no rain...
Keep safe.
Bernie.

Morning all.

Nigel says, windy down south. that's about it.

Good to hear Bernie. Part of the situation is still believing in your body and it's ongoing strength. aka: not slipping into self doubt.
(I'm not sure if our posts crossed or you edited it as I posted.)

Mornin’ all!
A “nothing” day for us today.
Nigel said today we’re going to be hit with cyclone-strength winds and heavy rain. BoM issued a “Destructive Wind” warning. I even moved our outdoor furniture under shelter!
So where is it???
We have ‘Christmas carol’ weather here: all is calm.
Very light cloud cover, too.

Had a huge storm last night, winds over 120kph and today, a yacht about 10m long was washed up on the shore. Turns out it's a S/S yacht and the bloke didn't have a clue how to get it off the beach, the keel had dug into the sand but it was moving in the small waves, so only the beach side of the keel was trapped and the waves were keeping the sand from engulfing the keel completely. He said he was going to get a tug from Hobart to tow it off, but I suggested he get in his dinghy, put the anchor in and take it out as far as he could, them put strain on the anchor so his boat doesn't wash further onto the sand and when the tide come in wind the anchor winch in so it pulls the bow round into the waves and then he can winch it off the beach as the tide rises using the motor and anchor. High tide today is about 1m, so he would have a chance of it working

Be interesting to see if he got it off tomorrow.

How was the re-floating NP

We has Nigel's winds here this morning, at least it seems to have blown the rain away for the moment.

The strength and sudden gust speeds today has me rethinking the whole positioning of the containers and the dome ...... across the slab so the strong winds go up and over the dome rather than in one end and out the other. It will be a pain in the butt getting the Winnie in and out and Big Bus will have to find a new spot to live, but we got them in the workshop with the door facing that way, so we should be able to get the Winnie in there and back out again.
