Cracka of a day up here in Gods Country, not a cloud to be seen in the blue sky for Mothers Day picnics. Looks like I better be sure to put plenty of sunscreen on the kids whilst they run around in the sunshine in their shorts and t shirts playing today  8)

I live south of Adelaide and we have been absolutely flogged today with wild weather! the satellite picture looked positively evil of the fronts hitting us today.
My local beach, which usually has no waves at all due to Kangaroo Island blocking most of the swell, was about 6 foot and looked like a washing machine, and if our jetty is still standing by tomorrow I will be surprised. So look out Victoria, you will cop these fronts too very soon!

The wind is full on. I had to throw some guy ropes on the trampoline as it got picked up like a UFO across the back yard, luckily it jammed up under the eve of the house and didn't smash any Windows  ???
