After being away for 5 days, we were in need of a decent grocery shop so BGWLBH and I drove into The Bay today and did just that.
We were worried that the shelves would be bare because of panic buying, but as usual, the news is fear mongering. There was no panic buying on the Sunshine Coast while we were there and all the shelves were full in Coles today, including milk and bread.
The footage they showed of Maroochydore beach yesterday was absolute BS. We drove past that beach on the way out of town and it was fine. I reckon they are showing old footage to scare people.
There have been photos of trees down and power lines down on the Gold Coast - Palm Beach and Burleigh Heads, but Adoring Husband's son is down there and having closed his shop at Runaway Bay after cyclone warnings, he was getting bored at home and said he was going to buy a kite! No rain and no strong winds at that stage.
Cyclone Alfred is now expected to cross the coast tomorrow lunch time ... it changes with every bloody report and I don't blame people for getting annoyed.
In the beginning, it was supposed to cross at Rockhampton, then Bundaberg, then Rainbow Beach, then Sunshine Coast, then Brisbane, now the Gold Coast. Never in the history of cyclones, has there been so much doubt and uncertainty about the direction of a cyclone.
But don't get me started.
We are watching the football tonight. I was disappointed when Wests Tigers lost by only 2 points to Newcastle Knights.
Now South Sydney are playing Dolphins and are winning 12-4 at halftime. Still a long way to go. I tipped South Sydney.
I slept beautifully in my own bed last night and I hope to do the same tonight.
Nite all.
