Perhaps a bit of a blow coming?

We've been following the scaremongering about Cyclone Anthony this weekend and to our pleasure it's left us alone, but behind it is a class 7 killstorm that according to some brains is heading right over our roof.

I shall keep watch on this.

Night test.

I had to see how the fancy new lit number looked. Happily it's pretty good plus looks rough enough that people won't think us too fancy.
What's more impressive to me is I used the cheap new Samsung camera hand held using its dual anti-shake setting and took 9 shots in the hope I'd end up with one that wasn't blurry beyond recognition, To my surprise all 9 were usable, although large sensor purists will pooh-pooh the noise of the 800 ISO that it used.

There was a bit of light from the soccer oval to explain why a fair bit of background is visible.

Fun project,

I'll know tonight if it's any good, the pictures tell the story but it's a fancy new house number that may be slightly visible in the evening.

I've got some garden shears coming that I'll hack a bit of the plant stuff that grows like topsy away from it, them plants seem to love the rain and a bit of extra carbon dioxide floating around.

A bit different.

Ingham had a model town look about it this morning, pity I didn't have the patience to get a better picture but the miniature setting on the camera has its possibilities.
The bike must have been a local as it had the familiar sound of not having a working muffler.

We only had minimal intrusion from the flood, about knee level under the house, but we've had a lot of disruption to our mail service due to road closures. The lack of usable roads also mean our shops once again resemble old Soviet bloc ones, with shelves having an empty look about them, next week things should improve a lot.

Meanwhile...

...It's still far easier to block a parking spot than push a shopping cart 10 metres to a collection area.

New sign.

This crocodile sign appeared this week at Log Creek down our street. The rapid response team in the Government must have reacted to the crocodile that was seen there four years ago.

Maybe.

If the coin deposit on trolleys gets people back in the habit of walking a few metres maybe rubbish will be less often thrown in such a lazy fashion.

Keen eyes may notice the common parking space blocker cart in the background.
