Tsunami Alert!!!



This morning I went down to the beach to see if I could see a Tsunami!! We had an alert after the Earthquake in Chile. Its amazing that such a disaster could have consequences so far away in Tasmania, but luckily nothing happened!! There were a few more people around than usual for a Sunday morning, but they were not keeping to the high ground.

The only photos I managed to get were these, so you will have to make do with them. I like the solitary little silhouette of the seagull in the second photo, I was so busy concentrating on the sky and the boats I did not even realize he was there.

It is really quite chilly today, after 80 consecutive days of hot weather we are down to a measly 17 degrees. But they have promised a good week ahead.

Thanks for reminding me how beautiful Blackmans Bay is!
And 17 degrees would do me just fine in Hamburg! At least, snow has now melted and temperatures are going up to about 5 degrees, and the first snowdrops show their little bells in my garden. So I am quite happy.
Hope all is well with you all, especially Heidi
