It was exactly forty years ago today that I was taking part in our school sport's day,when about 11.40am,the sky darkened until it turned black. Everyone thought night had come early. A lot of people got to their knees and prayed as they they thought the world was coming to an end,until we were hit by inch thick hailstones and mighty lightning. The sky lightened up and the streets were flooded.
It is a day most people in the area will never forget!

I've got the most awful earache and there is a man outside mysteriously drilling and I have to wait in for a call.

Other than that - I am just putting my foot in it all over the place, as usual.

One of the biggest ships ever to enter the river Tees is on its way,but there will be no flotilla of little ships with water cannons to welcome it. The decommisioned French aircraft carrier,Clemenceau,is coming here to be scrapped. It has too much asbestos in it for it to be dismantled in India,so it is coming here. Naturally,environmentalists are not happy about it and things - as far as I am aware - are still in the air about the dismantling of the other ships from the US Navy.

Disaster on the RC boat front! The motor conked out. Repairs are under way. A balsa wood glider saved the day.

The pelicans are starting to return to the Maroochy River. (Just up the road from me.)

They have been away for months feeding up on seasonal fish in areas like Lake Eyre in South Australia. For most of the year Lake Eyre is a dry but every so often it fills with water and fish.

How these wonderful birds know how, when and where to go is totally amazing.
Nature is truly wonderful.

The humpback whales will soon be migrating up here again from the Antarctic waters.
Another spectacular sight and a great tourism money spinner.

Dave.

Ooohhh no! I hope it's back on the water soon.

Do they still make balsa wood gliders? That's rather comforting.
