SILLY SURF PICTURE

Here is a some guy trying a new way to beat a close out at Dee Why today.

TASSIE BIG WAVES

These are photos of an unknown surf break in Tasmania. I suspect it is on the southwest coast. But it sure look big and cold.

ANOTHER BIG THURSDAY

Hi again, Thursday seems to be the day, but everyone must have been at work or back in school. The surf has come up and looks to peak at about 5 metres late today. Here are few photos from todays surf.

BIG THURSDAY

The big surf is back. These photos are from Narrabeen. You would think it was Hawaii. These guys were towed on due to the size and speed of the waves. Been a very incredible winter so far.

SURFS STILL UP: FOR 1 MORE DAY MAYBE

The surf is still pumping in Sydney. Probably for one more day then it will start to die.See the photos of Dee Why Point. In one photo you will see a tiny black dot inside a tube. That is a boogie board rider. No sense, no fear.
ENJOY!!

SURFS STILL UP

DEE WHY POINT

DEE WHY HOWLING OFFSHORE WIND

NORTH AVALON

NICE DAY AT COLLAROY

Sydney is getting rain and cold air and big surf. Collaroy Beach is slowly washing into the sea. And judging by these photos it still is. Some houses have lost part of their front yards.

WILD SYDNEY WEATHER

Well it finally had to happen. A really wild weather and surf change. Waves up to 5 metres on the local beaches expected to reach 12 metres. 17.5 metres out to sea. It is supposed to get even worse or better depending on your preferences. There is one large coal boat stuck on Nobbys Beach in New Castle, about 2 hours north of Sydney with two more on the way, hopefully they won't make it to the beach. Note the guy on one of the wave photos.

BANANAS 2007

Here is the 2007 banana report: Much bigger than last years effort. Note Australian coin for scale. Also photos of Jane & a pink hibiscus.

NEW COMPOST PIT

The old compost pit was getting out of control, so Jane and I moved it to higher ground and a new design. It is built out of all recycled materials. The upright post are made from an old Hills Hoist and the walls from our old fence palings. The compost in the new ones is from the old pit reduced by about 50% after jumping up and down on it to reduce the bulk.

DYLAN MAKES IT ON BLUEBIRDS

Dylan O'Leary finally make his first appearance on "BLUEBIRDS" with his mate Alexander. This photo was taken over Christmas and really a before and after photo of his bedroom. I don't think any explanation is necessary.

Weightless Sabrina

I made Sabrina float the other day by rubbing her with a balloon. She floated up to the ceiling as you can see in the photo.

Death in the family

It is with great sadness that I have to report WEBER died last week.Aged 16 years. As I was getting ready to BBQ and brought him out of his dry home, the right wheel fell off and pushed a hole thru his base. Result, end of BBQ'D pork chops and sweet potatoes for dinner that night. He has been replaced with a newer model and we are BBQing again.

The New Pergola or Ramada

It's been a while since I've posted anything. But the wait is over now. I have started to rebuild the old falling down pergola (Ramada). We had a quote for about $1500.00 from a carpenter, so I thought I could do it myself for a lot less. So far the cost has been $81.00 and all thats left to do is put the laserlight top on about a cost of about $150.00. Boy I am clever!!

SUNDAY WITH THE STYLERS

Sunday afternoon was spent with the Stylers for lunch. Nick, Lis, Chris and Nicks parents visiting from the UK came. We had nibbles, cold meat, salads and Janes famous BANANA cake. There was a great deal of talking and laughing. A wonderful day was had by all. We may even have a new guitar virtuoso with Chris taking to the old Fender like a seasoned master.
