Weather Contrasts

Wow, what amazing weather we've had here. It all started for us on the Gold Coast but a little later on the Sunshine Coast. Tuesday was beautiful blue sky with not much wind but a forecast of a major storm, one would say 'yeah right' but sure enough the meteorologists know what they are talking about. About 7pm the wind whipped up to that equivelent of a grade 2 cyclone, not much rain but a disturbed night with a certain little Caitlin being a bit freaked by the noises, so Gary headed off to her bed and Caitlin bunked down with me. (Better than three in one bed or continual disturbances!). Then the rain started ............. some parts of the Sunshine Coast recorded over 1000mm's in 24hrs! It's quite a contrast for us when we're enjoying the Sunshine Coast winter weather and yet we need to be excited about the rain filling the dams, yes we were happy to see the rain but now we've had some it's nice to see the sun again.

A little tid-bit of Ryan's thoughts on weather.
I went in to get him up a few weeks ago, he looked out the window with a confused look on his face and said "sun gone" with the question tone in his voice, now he's got used to not seeing the sun in the morning he just says "sun gone bed" but it was qute telling about how quickly he has got used to seeing the sun in the morning.
