Wild Windy Wet Weekend



Well we dodged the bullet on that storm that came through last weekend. We were advised to be in for gale force winds, rain etc. We did get some heavy rain and very strong winds but other than that not much compared to the Gold Coast, Coffs Harbour, Sydney and now poor old Tasmania. We rolled the cover from the pool back and Brian tied it down with rope as the wind was blowing it off again, it is very heavy duty bubble wrap a kind of thermal cover and if it did blow over the canal wall we would have had a job getting it back up. Brian also put extra ropes on the two boats down on the poontoon. We just stayed indoors not venturing out at all. The wind has been very strong until today when it has finally eased off and once again it is nice and sunny. The pool had waves on it and leaves galore along with other rubbish blew in all of which Brian has blown out with the leaf blower.
