I’ve been seeing a pattern of increasing wind gusts in Leura the last few weeks. Wind direction has always been W/NW. Last night was the worst I’ve ever experienced here. Our house was getting pelted by flying twigs and the wind gusts were making the windows & roof of the house squeak. While this has happened before, it’s been the worst we’ve encountered to date.
A weather warning was issued by BOM, with wind gusts of up to 95km/h+. It certainly felt like it.
Snapshot of the giant twigs spanning up to 2m. Hubby noticed many thick fallen branches around town.
All i could think was,
“Thank god we’re not living in a houseboat!”

NM website development has certainly taken a toll on my blogging ability of late, but it’s been great to get the bulk of this work completed. Have also been busy sewing and the collection is beginning to develop rather nicely.
I keep getting caught out by needing the extra zipper here and there - which is quite a hassle where i live because it requires a fair bit of travel to get things. Made a divergence in style by working on a sheath dress last night - but yeah, i can’t progress further without an invisible zipper! I have another 4 pieces lined up, then it will be time to go fabric hunting again. Looking forward to the day that i can hop on a plane and buy direct from a manufacturer overseas.

Ah… finally worked out why my sidebar.php was rendered absolutely useless. The bloody sidebar widgets decided to install themselves during the last wordpress upgrade. Oh right - we must do things via the sidebar widget thingie now. ::)
If it ain’t broke, then don’t fix it. Surely i’ve learnt that lesson by now… to not err for an upgrade when things are working just bloody fine.
Blah! Blaaaaaaaaaah!
