You can face this, just think of your holiday to come!
It's your Birthday? Why didn't you say so?

Well here's wishing you a Happy Birthday, and here's a birthday song that might cheer you up

Is this the same manager that made you speak French amongst the staff. If so, just curse him in every language but (French).

Well happy birthday Verencat! Bake yourself a lovely cake!

I hope your manager get back soon -- 15 days in a row is far too much work.

The skies cleared a coupla days ago, but the low pressure moved offshore and is pushing up big seas. We might be protected by the Heads, seeing as it'll be an ESE push, but they're predicting 3.2m (10.5') swell on-shore by Saturday evening (<----Surfcam linky, for anyone interested). It looks like Noosa Main Beach isn't getting its sand back quite yet.

Cheers,
Marc

We going to have our school's May Fayre tomorrow -- so hoping for hot, sunny weather. (Okay, its not going to happen, but I can hope. Even if it doesn't rain, I would be happy.)

It's a beautiful sunny morning, and pleasantly warm.
There's a glistening on foliage after a very heavy dewfall.
A heavenly scent of gorse pervades the air and,
against the lushness of green, are shining the first two brilliant red oriental poppies.

heh, no, i said "sure, we can meet thursday afternoon." of course i may have been thinking something else... what was much more annoying than the original suggestion was that he phoned me to set the details at 10 in the morning !! sheesh, whatever happened to sleeping late on a holiday ???? (i was already awake, but that was totally unintentional, i had hoped not to be, and i don't like to be phoned at 10 in the morning on *any* day. ironically, i had the water running when he called and didn't hear my phone, and he left me a message saying "you'll still asleep at 10 o'clock, that worries me !" so when i called him back 5 minutes later i said "actually i *wasn't* asleep but i should have been, it's a holiday after all !" sheesh !)

the good news is the meeting went very well and if the project goes forward as planned it will be a good one.

and today the weather seems really nice, sunny and warm. we didn't even get the storms they announced yesterday although it did get very cloudy towards the end of the day.

We did (get the storms). Actually, it was areas a few hours drive south of us:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/events/wildweather/

The winds have turned back around, and the SEerly is starting to bring the rain (and accompanying wind) back up here. Not that I'm complaining, mind. I don't live in Lismore, Grafton, and so on, and the flooding our region got a few days ago - same rain system - was at the south end of the Sunshine Coast, round Caboolture. Still, could be an interesting few days coming up, if only for the largish seas.

Cheers,
Marc
