It’s cold and rainy and I’d like to get into my office but I think I might just politely wait for the nice, slow moving, extremely deadly snake to do whatever the hell it wants…

Here’s a photo I took of one of our senior nudists being interviewed during the campaign against the prudes

We’ve had a bit of rain lately and this particular stump seems very tasty.

A few pictures I took on my evening walk around Wynnum just a few days ago.

Our old place is a 110 year old Queenslander - a wooden house raised on stumpy stilts. Solid and well built but not really meant for tropical cyclones, being about 650km south of the Tropic of Capricorn…

I was there last week garden sitting while my ex took his new husband to their first Sydney Mardi Gras…

Right now Alfie is expected to make landfall right there. I can’t pretend I’m not worried

Wide awake from 3am so decided to get out of the house and go to Byron Bay to see whatever the weather is doing at the coast.

I’m sure the sun rose at some point but only the lowering grey was visible…

Large-ish dumping surf with four surfers spread evenly along main beach like neoprene-suited repelling magnets.

And a couple filling sandbags…

And before any friendly souls scoff at a ‘mere’ 35C please note this is the subtropics, the humidity is already over 90%.

Towelling off after a shower means you need to take another shower to deal with the sweat you’ve just generated on an endless loop

Looop

Looo….

If anyone needs me I’ll be in the fridge.
