The view from my "office"

The afternoon office, Beaconsfield Heritage Mine centre.

Allowing my son to have a friend sleep over last night, 36 hours before my exam (thinking they’d sleep as they went to bed at 9:45pm) was sheer folly. Heard them playing video games at 5am (they were talking), couldn’t get back to sleep, so took dog for a walk



Went back to water tower and walked around it, taking photos of all the animals:














on my way back home the sunrise was starting to colour the clouds nicely

They are reopening the Beaconsfield mine!

Another great sunset from the home patio - love the Sunshine Coast sunsets !

 

[Flashback]

Bit of a heatwave in the UK. Over in Wales at the moment. Hike up Pen y fal in the morning, then meandering through Crickhowell and Brecon in the Brecon Beacons.

This arvo on Magnetic Island

This morning on Magnetic Island we walked from Nelly Bay to Horseshoe Bay. Rewarded ourselves with a nice cold beer & seafood pizza for lunch

 

[Flashback]

Not quite how I expected today to go...... but after >1 hour of CPR, I think she may have gotten through the worst of it and started breathing again.

Barafundle Bay Beach, Pembrokeshire, Wales.

 

[Flashback]

On a slightly cheerier note, that's probably one of the best beaches I've visited in the UK in terms of look & feel. A real golden sandy beach!


A little later on, we then headed to St Govan's Chapel which is nestled on the side of the cliff.


The cows have been finding it a bit warm too......



Be careful of the firing range, though!

Authorities seem to be being a bit cautious? Seems to be an excess of ES?

It's interesting the first time I went to Cornwall (in 1982) and saw the beach at St Ives as I came in on the train I was pleased to see a proper beach in the UK - lots of lovely beaches down there. Glad to see you're getting out and about again. Adelaide into 7 day full lockdown today

I think there were 7 or 8 drownings in the UK over the weekend so you can probably understand the response.

Freedom day? If Covid doesn't get you the sea will!

It's all staffed by volunteers, so good on them I guess!

Having been in lockdown for most of this year it's been pretty difficult. Pretty much hit the wall, so dropped what we were doing, hired a car and booked accommodation (stopped caring about the cost and this point) and just hit the road.

I still don't understand the point of these small lockdowns in Aus, either do it properly or not at all! But that's like a conversation for another thread....

Sorry if this seems boring, but back again to the outside office on the George's River for "exercise".

You're out of luck if you're 31kg!


My mobile office to Caldey Island, Wales. Just off the coast from Tenby.




Hot hot hot!

It always grabs my attention when I see a group of fair skinned people sitting in the full sun with very few hats in sight and little sign of sunscreen. And there is obviously a pretty hot sun about going by that weather warning.

Although the weather warning only tells of 'Extreme heat'. Might only be mid 20's ....

Still sitting in full sun with no head covering then the UV is going to be dangerous. My wife's cousin who lived most of her life in England died of skin cancer. Ireland sits at No.3 in the World rate of skin cancers, Norway at No.9 and the UK at 13th.

Edit: The weather certainly seems to be pretty warm.

Extreme heat warnings for UK to last until Friday

People have been warned about sunburn and heat exhaustion, with a high of 32.1C recorded at Heathrow.
