Yes, but after a sleepless night I found that my bridge was still crossable and I was able to make it out to see GP and apothocary and venture up to the Gold Coast to collect this and that. I was also able to get back home; there have been plenty of times when I couldn't.

Groo, I hope you have a back up plan for when you can't get home?
Heavy rain here today. tomorrow is looking drier and brighter, but while we have an outdoor walking activity planned, the forecast is for 55mph (90kmph) wind gusts. Goody.

Chilly, might rain. I'm pretty over this - come on spring! The weather service says that Tuesday is going to be 76°F (24°C), so I'm going to concentrate on looking forward to that.
groo: phew

Groo, I hope you have a back up plan for when you can't get home? Was a time when I was working, when I used to keep a sleeping bag and air mattress in the car's boot in case of such eventualities. I spent several nights at my neighbour Henry's place as well, waiting for the creek to go down but Henry is, alas, no more and though my new neighbours seem like fine people our relationship isn't such that I can just rock up and announce that I'm there for the night. In yesterday's case I'd probably have driven in to the hospital - it's where the GP wanted to put me yesterday and I'm in no condition so spend a night in the car

Groo, I hope your condition improves. It’s clearing here this morning. I’m hoping my friend who lives out of town can get in to craft group safely.

Cool and hazy, clouds now moving in and supposedly moving on overnight.
Worrisome change in the forecast for tomorrow. They were predicting sunny skies all afternoon, now they're saying the next clouds will be arriving mid-afternoon, just in time for the eclipse. Well, I wasn't going to make any effort beyond going out in my yard...

Groo, I hope your condition improves. In many ways it has, but I am disappointed with the performance of the steroids. I have read of body builders taking steroids to enhance muscle tone and had hoped, by this morning, to boast a fine display of bristling pecs, abs etc. but nothing has changed.

Rain, and the temp has dropped quite a bit since the storm started.

Not much doing here on the weather front, some sun earlier, not a lot, but some. Heading for nine pm so dark and neither hot nor cold. Tomorrow much of the same I fear.

Today, a cool morning and lovely clear sky, but there’s something nasty coming up the coast which may or may not reach us.

"there’s something nasty coming up the coast" My sister in law is planning a visit?
I don't think Sydney's foul weather and cold will reach us. This really is the nicest time of the year up here.

There may be storms tonight, though.
