Week 72

L - Will the Rain Stop? Australia, mostly in Queensland, has been battered with flooding and Cyclone Yasi. Melbourne although luckily missed all that but the Yasi fall out meant it rained so hard from 5 - 11pm on Friday that the drains couldn't cope. Kids were playing out in the street in the stormwater floods....our back garden was full of water. Up to the top of my wellies....The following day everything was still sprinkled with what looked like little diamonds...sadly rain droplets. ;-)


R - HELLGATE! I went boarding for the first time this year at Hunter Mountain NY and I did my first Black Diamond (really just a hard blue) conditions were "fast and hard, typical East Cost" but I enjoyed myself and it looks like all the indoboarding I've been doing at the gym has paid off because I'm not too sore this morning.
