spring

Spring is busting out all over!

In Canberra the blossoms have started to bloom, Floriade is being prepared, people are falling in love and babies are being born. If we were in a Hollywood musical we would all burst into song!

I should point out, however, that it is Canberra and while the sky may be blue and the blossoms may be blooming, the wind is still icy cold.

But Spring is a time of new beginnings and fresh starts. Out with the old, in with the new. Spring clean your house, your wardrobe and your life!

stormy weather

Tomorrow I am attending a Hen's Night (well it's starting at 1 in the afternoon) on a boat! The last time I was on a boat was for my friends Wedding Reception, and it was not fun. This boat was out on the sea (or along the coast anyway) and the seas were quite rough and we all got sea sick! We were told that it would take only 30 minutes to get to a sheltered spot where we would drop anchor for the actual reception, but it ended up taking over an hour. There is no worse sight than a bride haning over the back of a boat vomiting.

We have checked the weather forecast and are expecting it to be a bit cool, but we're all hoping that it won't be rough. This boat will be out on a Lake, but I have seen the Lake very rough sometimes where there is bad weather. We have already decided that we will mutiny and take control of the ship should we find ourselves to be unhappy.

Wish us luck!

wild weather

I have written in a previous post earlier today how there were beautiful blue skies outside of my windows at work...well these blue skies have vanished and there is a storm coming.

On the http://www.bom.gov.au/ website you can see a radar view of what weather is coming, and it doesn't look good. As you can see there is a very large storm front heading our way, although it looks to be made up of fairly light rain. If that changes I will put another post on here with the more exciting radar image.

--Update--

The storm was not much of a storm at all. Very mild and passed over very quickly. The blue skies are back and all is well.
