[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 536603, member: 1991"] G'day, SFR and all to follow. Sounds like you had a full but enjoyable weekend. I spent the weekend laid up in bed, except for when I put on a well face and went to mother in law's for dinner. I couldn't hide the flu entirely, but I was able to mask it a lot. Today I had a GP appointment (partly to deal with flu, partly to get paperwork in place for our upcoming trip). So I wasn't able to go to my Monday morning meeting. I headed straight out after the doctor, but only got to the highway in time to collect difficult child 3 and turn right round and come home again. The rest of today, I worked on a rough draft of a book. I spent this evening researching possible illustrations. Winter is definitely here. Tonight the sky was clear enough for us to watch the partial lunar eclipse, but Wednesday's transit of Venus is likely to be not visible here due to heavy clouds. Severe gales are forecast (starting some time overnight) and heavy cloud and rain will come with it. They have forecast record high seas. With the full moon we're already getting higher tides than normal, but the storm surge is also adding to it, even well before the storm gets here. Once it hits, they say we need to be prepared for the highest tides on record. That all means that the village boat is likely to stop running, because the jetty for our town is so exposed, the heavy seas make it impossible to safely tie up the boat. When seas are high, they snap ropes. Also, our church is likely to get wet 'feet' - in high seas before, I've found seaweed on the back step. I'll go down tomorrow (if I can) to have a look. The best place to check it is the wharf, but if it's as bad as they say, we won't be able to get near the wharf, seas will break across it. We'll be safe of course, we live on the top of a (sand) hill, 1 km inland. But we're close enough to get the salt spray on days like this, and to hear the surf breaking against the cliffs. difficult child 3 has assessment tasks this week, I need to collect him from college to get him home to do his work. If the weather is bad, it could slow us down a bit. Camera will be at the ready... Enjoy your Monday. Marg [/QUOTE]
