    Sounds amazing.

    we had it for 5hrs. Did the pyrmont cockatoo island, then stopped for a swim near Tauranga zoo, then chinamans beach and Elizabeth bay, catering on board was from merivale , they had really nice prawns and bugs, lamb cutlets.

    the time just went really quickly though.
    The food sounds great, especially the prawns and bugs, ours wasn't quite as luxurious, ham and chicken, bread rolls and salads but still it was nice on the water then going back to Cockatoo Island, the accommodation there was very nice.

    Hot and humid in Sydney today and the heat is trapping in a layer of smog.

    Ridiculously cold last night for February. The temperature dropped to 4-5 degrees overnight. A pleasant if cool day today.

    Thanks, it is actually being done by the body corporate, part of claim for something else with the building and this can be added to it

    Its not to bad, there was already a bit of damage from just after we did the painting a while back as the roof leaked then but we had the roof fixed after that and had a couple of heavy rain events after it was fixed and there was no further water damage but the branch this time like i thought i may have did hit the roof in the front corner where the bedroom is. I noticed it last night when i flicked the light on and thought that's new and wasn't like it before we went away.This will be an insurance job now.

    Oh not good Horrie. Just typical that it would happen when you’re away too. I hope it doesn’t cost you too much to fix.

    Must have been some damage to the roof from that storm about a month ago as the rain event a few days ago has shown some water damage to the ceiling in the main bedroom which we missed being away. Luckily though we already agreed to have the roof inspected at the AGM two weeks ago as it seemed some of the branch that came down in that storm hit the roof .

    There sure has been some bad storms the past few days. Hope you don’t discover any more damage tomorrow. We’ve had a few shockers here in Canberra too. Mainly heavy rain though tonight. Stay safe.
