After a crazy, wild day across Greater Sydney yesterday, in particular Manly & Northern Beaches, where roads were underwater & cars were floating past school classrooms – today you wouldn’t have thought we were in the same city! All looked calm on the outside & clean up was well under way!
The beach was closed due to pollution rather than wild surf!
Dave was off for a surf 🏄🏻♂️
Doug had just been in for a swim! He swam to the pool and back. Didn’t feel the need to swim to Shelly today, he said. He usually swims around 9.30 each day and has been doing so for about 15 years!
Ned wouldn’t get out of the way of the temperature sign! He rather fancies his left side in photos.
I distracted him with a stick & managed to get the full picture! 23.2 today!
Richard had just finished a balderdash! I asked him to send me proof but it still hasn’t come through yet! 🤔
The storm water from the drain at Fairy Bower was strong enough to lift the cement slab! Anyone want to volunteer to put it back before someone falls in?
Still a bit of cleaning up to do! Anyone lost a bin?
Maisy was wondering what she’d done wrong this time! I said that for the first time in her life she had done nothing wrong & that the sign said ‘Bloody Mary’ not ‘Bloody Maisy’!
While some of the cafes along the water were closed, the Boathouse wasn’t going to let a wild river of debris & murky water running past its front door yesterday stop them from opening today & celebrate with a Bloody Mary or two!! Go BH!!
This little guy was a bit wet & bedraggled but felt lucky to be alive!
And just in time, Richard came through with proof of his balderdash route !! Well done Richard 😉
And last but not least at least these guys have finally got some actual water to scuba dive in!
Stay safe everyone and here’s hoping we’ve seen the back of this crazy weather for awhile! 🤞

Excellent news all round, thanks Lucy. Good to see Maisy and Ned featuring prominently too.
