    Darwin. It’s received a direct hit from the cyclone. Full extent of damage won’t be known for a few days. 😡

    Morning Pat.
    We're expecting a high of 1C tomorrow.

    Dacha, that is wonderful. Thank you very much. Pity it hadn’t arrived yesterday. I was feeling a bit low. By the way, I’m still struggling to learn some of the chords, plus the various rhythms. My lot are practising the Bob Marley type rhythms and it’s a bit tricky. 
    Hope you and yours are ok with the present political situation.

    Clear skies here today and 33c predicted, but my focus has been on the progress of cyclone Marcus which is threatening Darwin. We’ve still got strong memories of the devastation caused by Cyclone Tracy when we lost everything, including our house. I’ve never been back.😰 Ive just spoken to a friend who still lives up there. His new house is 30 kms down the track, so he’s got his fingers crossed that his area will be spared, although his trees are thrashing around.

    Pat.....I am in awe of you ....I discarded my guitar in the early 60s .....well my ma did as she was worried about me .....and rightly so as many of my early collaborators fell by the wayside before they got to middle age :(

    Good morning all  :)
    Hope Darwin's ok. 
    Id forgotten that I'd posted that link before ... memory must be on overload  :/
    icy out there with powdery snow in the wind ... I'm staying indoors brrrrr!
    Dacha, pick up the guitar again ... lots do  :)

    Morning all.
    Pat, tried to phone friend in Darwin but no connection.  Will try again later.

    According to the news broadcasts, there were over 2000 calls for help and (der) a couple of blokes had to be rescued from their boat in the harbour during the cyclone. My sympathy is for the police rescue people who had to go out there on a jet ski to get them. Idiot people.  Lots of power outages and the internet is down.
