Wow Michael, 6 weeks! At least they are being careful, and looking after you. How will you get to work when you go back after your holidays? Are you feeling ok this morning?

Oh no. Not Zumba! My one and only experience with Zumba was the day after doing a Body Pump class only two weeks back into going to the gym after having bub 8 weeks prior. I felt like I'd been hit by a semi-trailer for about three days afterwards!!! Needless to say I've strategically avoided going back to that class again so far......

We are having terrible weather again...here's a link to our local paper showing some of the photos at the beaches... http://www.theherald.com.au/multimedi...


message 3481: by Neko (new)

Neko Brenda- Man those people fishing and even swimming in the sea are crraazzy!!
I also read about this boy..lucky he is safe but still- http://www.theherald.com.au/news/loca...

It's pretty calm here since 2 weeks ago...It's just really cold with the Mt getting lots and lots of snow.

Yes, he was an extremely lucky boy!!! On the news last night, his Mum couldn't stop cuddling him!!! Nice young kid too, so scary!!!

We just went to the beaches again, and boy oh boy!!! It's like a washing machine, so much white wash..we were sitting in the car (it's pouring) next to the fence, next to the ocean, and a wave crashed on the wall and hit the car!!! It's beach at the bottom of the wall normally!!


message 3483: by Neko (new)

Neko It's a bit unsettling when the waves can completely eat up the beachfront and come smashing onto your car!! Washing machine is a great way to describe a wild sea.

When I went looking around surf spots there was one point when coming home the sea was flooding the road..There isn't any barriers to keep it away from the road but nor does it usually get that high.

Yes, we headed away pretty quickly when that happened!!!

It's scary when the sea floods the road, isn't it!! I suppose if it doesn't happen often, they'd figure it wouldn't be worth putting a barrier up!

I agree Carmel, though he seemed a pretty sensible kid. He said he thought he would die, when being interviewed on the TV last night. He won't go near drains again in a hurry, I wouldn't think.

★ Jess  | 3071 comments Going out for diner with two friends tonight... Had a rather large argument with mum to let me go, since they're both boys, but I won in the end :) Pretty excited.

I can't blame your parents Melanie, given what is happening up in your area...:(


message 3491: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 3071 comments ugh, its so annoying! most of my friends are boys. Parents should be used to it now...I think theres only a few they really like.

Don't worry Jess...it comes with the age!! It's a parents thing....they have to worry!

Be patient with them, cos I can 100% guarantee you'll be the same when you're their age with your own teenagers!


message 3493: by [deleted user] (new)

dw Jess its gets worse...then better hahah

Yea the coast isnt the safest place, even if there is a big group of us girls, you never totally feel safe.
Plus its handy having guys around tell tell other annoying men to go away haha

I can't believe how bad it's got up there! Areas that haven't seen any crime/violence in many years, all of a sudden. According to the TV, there's people who are thinking of selling up to get out of the area now!!

Merewether, our 'elite' suburb here in Newcastle, has registered 332ml of rain in the past 4 days!!!! We have taken over 180ml out of our gauge here at home, so far...thank goodness we didn't have as much as Merewether!!
