Just waiting for the 'weather'. Don't know if I should go to work or not. Emergency services advises to stay off the road and Woolloomooloo is a notorious area because its reclaimed land, at the bottom of everything, right next to the sea, and all the main runoff goes into the bay right here. And my tree is dodgy. The whole community is waiting. We don't know if our houses will have slid into the sea by the end of the day. We don't know if we should believe the Bureau or not - they are pretty good these days. At one time they used to say things like "it's a fine and sunny day" even though it was pouring with rain and had for the last week. Nowadays it seems to be different. This morning it was incredibly quiet - no rain, no wind. Now the rain is building up but still, no wind. We've been advised that the winds are coming and they are killers. But still, so quiet. Rain has completely stopped now. I thought the wind had come for a minute, but it was my washing machine. I had forgotten that I'd put some washing on. Decisions. Decisions. Think I ain't gonna go to work today! I'll let you know if the 'weather' comes - or not, although I'm sure you will hear about it. The sky is yellowish-purple and - so quiet. No rain now, and absolutely no wind. Even the weather is waiting.
