Alive but wet & peeved.


1. Standing at bus stop and got hit with small hail. Went home and changed.
2. Didn't even bother going to get the next bus as rain was pelting down.
3. Got to station to jump on next bus sky opens up again soaked for ride to Freo.
4. Freo bus detoured due to roadworks. Walked halfway accross town during this downpour.

But what sucks more than all that...stuck in office while my FIFO mate is probably out having a ball.

Yes certainly was gusty 4m was perfect when they hit but poor Kite Surfer released(lucky) and watched his kite fly off over the road and onto some roofs at the pond no more kite.

Looked sketchy on the graph Simon. Went back to work on tuesday so missed this round of wind .
Hopefully might get some good days in a fortnight.
