There is a cyclone may or may not come ashore around here at the w/e, or whenever, or off the coast from here at least. Its already caused mayhem in New Caledonia after starting out east of Cairns. High tides of super moon, storm surge have already caused flooding in SE Qld. I guess there will be large amounts of sand taken from beached at the very least. I did read today that the pacific cyclones around E Australia are the most difficult to predict of anywhere, which was why I was surprised some weeks ago at the Fl folk complaining about the predicted path and the actual path being different and this one has already done some loops. The swell is pumping on the beaches.
News article did say the longer they had moved about the more unpredictable they were
Remembering Darwin doing a re-enactment of its ww2 bombing ... It was devastated, people made complacent by the story of it being off the coast, not doing much, then it came in on Christmas Eve at night. That was Tracey visiting Darwin in the early 70s - 74 or 75 I think. Temor Sea formation, but still.
If I'd been good today I would have washed today. I'll see how it looks tomorrow.
I have an appointment tomorrow as well, and library books to return, but that can wait if necessary.
Whoever said we have nasty weather sometimes was right. The north is still finding out how damages it is, state bill will be billions, with millions of cattle killed. The cattle who survived both drought and flood are so shell shocked they need tlc, and many can't be reached by the farmers yet to be taken to the new grass that is near them. Some truckies from Victoria are bringing hay to the far north at about $10,000cost for a load out of pocket, with cost born by those good samaritans, and those farmers who donate the hay as well.
Hoping for a better day tomorrow.
I think I've worked out what distressed me most last week as I've dropped my bundle again.
Just begin.
Living this day, today
Take a reality check; Remember to breathe; Do what I am able to do.
Look for the good in all.
