All the beaches are closed @rav3n but I did enjoy a walk on the path. I’ve just tidied my yard and back porch to prepare for this cyclone.
I went to the bakery early and bought freshly baked bread that was still warm and brought it home to slice. I also stocked up on peanut butter and Vegemite as I love them on fresh bread.
My pdoc is closed the next two days and I decided not to do Telehealth so will see her next week instead.
Just trying to get some washing dry in this wind before the rain returns.
Love to all @Snowie and @NatureLover

Hi @Eve7
Been thinking of you today, reading about the cyclone.
The surf would be big. Probably a good idea closing the beaches.
Have friends up your way that are getting ready too. They posted some pics of the beach near them. Massive waves.
You can't go past freshy warm baked bread. So yummy.

A friend of mine just posted a video of people out surfing…crikey!! They did have a JetSki nearby but still @Snowie
How’s your day going?

Gosh @Eve7 Even if I knew how to surf I wouldn't in big waves. I'm much more of a pool person.
Hopefully having the jet ski helps with keeping them safe. For the experienced surfer it is probably great conditions with the big surf!
My day ok, has been mostly a couch day.

Im about to spend some time on the couch too @Snowie and trying to stay away from more bread.
Id say those surfers do know what they’re doing and it would be exciting out there but way out of my comfort zone.
All the schools are closing until next week. I just hope we dont lose power.

Haha @Eve7 Looks like dinner might be more bread!!
I guess it's better to close everything, including schools. From what I've read they are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. I'm sure the students don't mind however!
It would have been bed but had to get up and take S to school this morning. Couch is safe.

Trying to finish my book so I can do something useful @Snowie haha
Its really eerie right now and very still outside so I guess we just wait and see what happens. My DIL is doing a tip run before it closes today so at least all the rubbish is gone. Nothing left to fly away unless the roof goes 😩
