For those who are wondering why we don't update the blog at the moment... We cannot do any trips because of the rain! Since I arrived back in Australia two weeks ago it has been raining, raining, raining. I think we only had 3 or 4 days of good weather... This is not normal for the Gold Coast! For the last 2 weekends it has been raining all day! Here some pictures:
We are getting bored because there is nothing to do in this weather. Yesterday we tried to go on a trip with the bikes... but it was not enjoyable in the rain so after half an hour we were back home. I even started cooking (and for people who know me, they will now that if I start cooking, I must be really bored), I made zucchini (Courgette) soup. Yesterday night Phil and some friends went carting. Philippe has a friend who is travelling around Australia who is staying here at the moment... but he picked the wrong time; nothing to visit in this weather.
So now I am writing on the blog. It is raining like hell and the wind whistles. I have looked up some news about this weather:
Southern Queensland has been warned to brace for gale force winds and flash flooding early on Sunday with Emergency Management Queensland urging people from Bundaberg to the Gold Coast and inland towns to prepare for heavy rain and strong wind gusts. Weather forecasters say up to 200mm of rain is expected to fall across the south-east coast region before tomorrow with wind gusts of up to 90 kilometres. Already there's been minor flash flooding and also land slips on the Sunshine Coast
They predict the same weather for Monday. On Tuesday it should be better.... but I have learned that the weather forecast in Australia is not very reliable... But fingers crossed for better weather!
BUT we also had some days with good weather! And I am happy that I enjoyed one of them! For the first time we swam in the pool! It was 26degrees, blue sky and Sun! It was lovely! Here some pics:
I saw that the weather is currently better in Belgium and France... So enjoy it there!
Hopefully the next post is about a trip with nice weather!
Jessie & Phil
