My girls cannot sleep with that wind making so much noise.
Not as bad as Melbourne though.

I had a fun message from Foxtel yesterday
'Solar interference to the Satellite is affecting our signal – This disturbance may occur for periods upto 5 minutes. We apologise for this unavoidable disruption to our service’ HUH?! Whats that mean?

solar flares on teh sun can affect telecommunications on earth as well as affecting the weather here too. pretty incredible huh (but true!)
The only thing wind is good for is drying the washing, providing that it doesn't rip half of it off the line and send it far away 
I would be interested to find out how strong the wind was last night, does anyone happen to know?
and whats funny is my child fell asleep with out a sound and got up at 7.30am now that is funny as she never does that thank you winds for making my baby sleep well.
but i was awake thinking the windows where going to come off it was that strong.

64km per hour last night, I don't plan anything until I checkout the weather on elders. You can even set it up for your postcode it tells you everything you need to know.... You can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl.
