Who stole my weekend??? Gone so fast! Perfect autumn weather over here - gorgeous day yesterday. Was a busy girl & made 3 wine carry bags for Sydney mates.......see attached pic.
I was amazed to hear this professional Russian soccer club played one of their games behind closed doors just because their fans were misbehaving.
I am angry because I went to GameDay to get the tickets and they didn't have tickets for the roosters supporters bay but for every other bay. Has anyone got tickets?
What a hoot the living in the 70's festival was at the Rocks today.Lots of music,lots of vinyl records for sale,lots of bad clothes.They had a tv set up showing The Young Doctors,Blankety Blanks,Skippy and old Countdown clips,i almost bought a Six Million Dollar Man doll . Then to complete the 70's experience went to Zia Pina to have a pizza with the lovely tacky old red and white table clothes.
Bondi Junction gas explosion: two men seriously burnt
Sydney Morning Herald
30 March 1:37pm
Two men have suffered serious burns in an explosion on the roof of a Sydney apartment block after an explosion in Bondi Junction.
A NSW Fire Brigades spokesman said there were reports of a gas explosion in an upper floor - believed to be the 29th - of an apartment on Spring Street.
A 20-year-old man had burns to 20 per cent of his body.
Both men were conscious and had received first aid, the spokesman said.
The patients were likely to be taken to St Vincent's, he said.
Paramedics understood the explosion was the result of a natural gas leak in an apartment above the shops.
An air-conditioning unit is believed to be the source of the explosion that occurred just before 1pm today.
A witness, Bea Hutcheon, was shopping at Eastgate Shopping Centre when she heard the explosion and then saw glass showering down on to Spring Street.
"There was a roar-like thunder,'' she said.
People were pouring out of the Eastgate centre, she said.
Bondi Junction resident Sonja Stewart said she felt the blast at her house five streets away.
"There was a great big bang, so big that my house shook,'' she said.
"It sounded like a huge truck had run into a nearby building.
"I live directly behind two child care centres and all the teachers came running out.''
Yes,very sad news about the gas explosion in Bondi Junction
I was woken up by sirens in the early hours of this morning,didn't know what was happening and then the power failed.It was only when i got up later in the morning i found out it was a shoe warehouse a block and a half away was gutted by fire,Unwins Bridge is still closed and traffic is being diverted down our small street to the Princes Hwy.
Just saw the St Peters fire on the news,the way the wind is blowing you can't smell it from my place but went up to Enmore this afternoon and the smell was rancid.
Enjoying watching the traffic floatilla heading down our street at the moment.
Major blackouts now happening in the CBD,inner city and Eastern suburbs and apparently spreading further,people stuck in lifts in the city.
Even the wall is down with the power failures.
