El Nino strikes again

Aaaaand we're back. Yesterday was an excellent photo day. Went walkies and got some good photos, came home, no internet. Turns out there was a massive hail storm in Canberra which is where my ISP lives. Saw it on the news last night. It was inches deep. Looked like fucking snow. All these people out there digging their cars out wuith shovels so they could get to work. There's some good photos here.

Sydney copped a couple of big storms as well. Cars washed away in the flash flooding. Bloody hell! There's a great lightning photo here. Massive storm cloud all light up inside.

Here? Nada. Werl, not nada but just a couple of nice loud thunderstorms and some rain.

Anyways. The walkies photos. Tomorrow. It's dinner time here now and then there's a telly programme about lightning.

By the way

Today is the 1st day of Autumn. Woo hoo!

Small fire & small flowers

Fire truck on Nagari Road Woy Woy South. This was as close as I got to a decent photo of the fire. But the bastard didn't get out of control so I'm good. I saw a little bit of smoke then five minutes later the first fire truck went howling up there. Didn't see any more smoke after half an hour.



The fire was up on the ridge yesterday afternoon, just over the crest of it. The fieries (firefighters) were in like Flynn. Half a dozen or more firetrucks went howling up Nagari Road to get to it. The Great North Walk (GNW) goes off the end of the rubbish tip road which goes off the end of Nagari Road.

Didn't catch the local TV news. Any locals got details about it?



After gawking at where the smoke had been I went home. These flowers were on the way. In fact you can see them on the left edge of the photo above.

They look like pink gum blossoms. They were on a bush at the Home For The Terminally Bewildered at the corner of Nagari Road and the railway underpass.

Only seen these blossoms on trees before and I got no idea what they're called when they're on bushes. Unless this is a baby tree. My plant recognition skills are abyssmal, as you probably realise by now.

Other stuff

There's a nice storm forecast for this afternoon. I'll enjoy that from the comfort of my balcony. I'm working on my wee shop again today. It's giving me a pounding fucking headache but I got to get the bastard up to scratch before the end of February. 12 months it was in the thinking stage, 12 bloody months. Since I created the shopfront in December I've made maybe 50 things for it.

Rock Walk is another walkies blog. Two people walking Staten Island in New York City. They haven't done much walking yet but have some beautiful photos up.
