Michael,
I have told Imelda that you and I will be meeting on that weekend away and we will try to chat say on late Saturday evening for a short period of time and you can see her then. Her daughter’s name is Kim - short for Kimberly.
The lunar eclipse was quite nice and certainly worthwhile [...]

Hi Jimmy - about time you sent me a photo so I know what this lady looks like :) What’s her name ?
Keep an eye on the rising moon from 6.45pm onwards - it should last quite a while so provided skies are clear we’ll all get a get view. 8.30pm should be mid-eclipse.
21,000 photos [...]

Michael,
Yes I am hoping this trip works well and I guess we will get to know each other better. I would not go to this extent normally - this is something I feel special about. She has a lovely daughter too.
Yep fine sunny weather has dominated the last couple of days and it is quite [...]

Michael,
Great you had some decent rainfalls and it seems the rain has been consistent down the coast as well. We have had lingering showers here even up until today and it seems to have increased with a moist easterly airstream. It is slightly unstable with more vertical cumulus development associated with sharp shower activity.
Booked two [...]

Hi Jimmy,
Have had close to 200mm over 3 days which is very welcome for this part of the state. No flooding around here due to the lack of continuous heavy falls amongst it. The low is now north of Fraser Island. Another upper trough coming across may trigger off another rain event in SE QLD.
Still [...]

Michael,
I have finally found someone I seem to get along with and we look forward to see each other. She does live overseas in the Philippines and she has a daughter as well. Instant family? I never thought I would be tempted for a situation like this but she has a pleasant personality and is [...]

Yep - gossip sessions alright Great you have found someone Jimmy. I don’t know all that much about her yet, so we’ll have to have a chat soon.
I don’t think much has been said at all about the 747 incident. The report into the matter is not yet finalized, so perhaps more will be [...]

The 747 hit the tarmac at 2.5 Gs because of the microburst. It was also on an angle and heading off the runway. A simulator recreation of the incident found the engines missed hitting the ground by just 1cm. If the captain had left his decision not to go to full throttle by just one [...]
