No Surfing
There's been a big storm over the last day and a half, closing the beaches to surfers due to waves too close to shore for safety - and leading some die-hards to hit the harbour instead - and putting enough rain down across the state to leave parts of northern NSW in a state of emergency due to flooding and to make my cats very unhappy with the results of going out the catflap. Me, too, for that matter, as walking into the office from the bus this morning had me saturated above the knee, without so much as having been splashed by a car. Quite impressive, really, all this global warming. And the cachements? Warragamba got a sixth of its April rainfall just today, no joke. The video's pretty good, if you're one of those weather-chaser types.

It is so ironic that good news about rain in Australia's too dry places happens because bad things are happening elsewhere. "It's an ill wind..." and "Good came come from evil" and so forth.

They should make umbrellas with see thru plexiglass windows that go all the way down to your feet and then you should wear "Wellies". Don't know what you should do about the cats. they wouldn't use umbrellas.
