It's still raining, and the New South Wales coastline is awaiting a cyclone this evening. We are told there will be 125kph winds and even more rain. So much for the drought. Apart from being concerned about a forthcoming cyclone anyway, I was very anxious about this as George is off on school camp tomorrow morning and I wondered what the driving conditions would be like for the coach.
However, on closer inspection of the letter about camp, it turns out that they go on Thursday. As I was planning on sending Andrew with George to get him to the school gates by 6.15am tomorrow, it's rather a good job that I looked.
All this meant that I didn't need to rush out and buy thermal vests for him today (they are going to Bathurst which currently has snow forecast), and can save that pleasure as a project for tomorrow. And I was able to redeem myself as a parent by doing a huge pile of ironing and making a batch of chicken dipping balls for the children's lunchboxes - Annabel Karmel, eat your heart out.
I'm not sure I should have eaten eight of them, to be fair, but there have to be some perks for the chef. And my pennance is that now I feel slightly nauseous.
Hopefully we will all still be here tomorrow so that I can report on the wild weather. Although I fully expect to be without power again as we seem to lose it at least a couple of times a week at the moment.....
And please - no messages telling me about the lovely weather you are experiencing in the UK at the moment!

The weather's lovely in the UK at the moment, shame you're having such a dire time... (snigger)
Mwoa!
Never fear, it has pissed it down here since the middle of last week. Glastonbury will no doubt be a mudbath even before we get there!
