We've had a day full of thunderous storms, amazing lightning and heavy rains.
A water spout crossed onto land and caused some damage in The Bay.
A woman was hit by lightning at the Howard markets this morning. I don' t know the status of her condition.
There have been a number of short blackouts here in town, but Howard lost their power for hours .. in fact, I don't even know if they have it back on yet.
I rode my trike to the local supermarket this morning, thinking that I could be there and back before the big storm hit, but I misjudged badly and ended up having to ride the storm out in the supermarket. After about 30 minutes, there was a break in the rain and I pedalled home, but there was still a lot of lightning about and I was afraid that I'd get hit! Obviously I made it home safe n sound.
I spent a lot of time in the kitchen today.
Overnight, I'd made a good batch of chicken stock, so I packaged and froze some of it and I made some chicken and vegetable soup for a friend who's husband is very ill and malnourished. I tried to deliver it today, but she was out and he wasn't answering the door. I'll try again tomorrow.
I had a heap of organic oranges, so I juiced them with kiwi fruit and coconut water and now I have a huge jug of delicious juice in the fridge.
I cooked a corned beef in the slow cooker and we had that for dinner with a delicious cabbage/onion/bacon mixture simmered in some home made beef broth and then sprinkled some toasted slivered almonds on top.
I had plans to make an apple and coffee cake, but that might have to wait til tomorrow.
No study today .. I couldn't focus with the crappy weather conditions .. not that I ever need much of an excuse!
More storms are forecast all week long, so I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
Nite all.
