Another Year Older

Thanks to people who have contacted me to congratulate me on yet another birthday! Celebrations have been spread over several days with a wonderful night whilst on the Gold Coast on Wednesday, another night out at a local and very pleasant outdoor Thai restaurant on Friday, and last night, with a 2 for $12 meal at a local tavern and some time at the RSL. I can't get over the size and quality of the 2 for $12 Turf and Surf meal at the local tavern.

There is a king tide on today and all swimmers have been warned of the dangerous conditions on all Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast beaches. As you can see in this photo taken today the weather is still showery and unseasonably cool. The pool temp is down to 23 degrees and daytime temps are in the mid 20's. However an improvement is expected over the next few days with temps predicted to be back into the high 20's and even early 30's again.

Current sea water temp is around 26 degrees and it is very pleasant to be in the surf.

Our rainfall total for Feb is very close to 6 inches now but this is still a couple of inches below the Feb average. By the end of this month we should have had about 16 inches of rain to be on the annual average.
