Rain
drops about midnight then strong wind. It continued to drizzle during the
night.
7.30am
still raining lightly. 21.4 degrees with a cold wind. Dark and dreary.
Rang
Anita for her birthday but she wasn’t home – in Brisbane with her sister.
Chatted with Brian who will be driving coaches for the Commonwealth Games so he
is heading down tomorrow as long as he can get through the floods etc as more
rain is predicted down the coast.
Chatted
in Kev and Linda’s van till smoko then Linda and I walked down to the big
rubbish skip with our rubbish. Then we walked around the lake edge and up the
track onto the dam wall to chat with Raylene and Doc.
Dark
clouds building in the west and it is clearing in the east and south.
Kev
found a friend in the back of his truck – must have hitched a ride on some
firewood timber. Very unusual lizard with big spikes along his tail.
Heard
some thunder roll then some strong wind and another shower of rain as though
black clouds circled around us to the north.
3pm
the wind stopped – so still after all the wind.
Geoff
and Virginia joined us for drinks and as the sun disappeared we started seeing
the lightning strikes in the south west. Had a great time watching a magnificent
display of sheet and fork lightning while we had dinner. The sky was clear over
us and to the east as the Blue Moon rose (full moons on 1st and 31st
March) and we even spotted a few satellites.
A
light breeze came up about 9pm as we headed back into the van with the
lightning still flashing in the distance heading south east.
