Just checked Weatherzone 28 day forecast. Brisbane and the coastal areas may get some wet weather towards the end of next week, but out round where we will be look like being dry.

Sorry Dave, can't be more specific. But I'm sure if it's cloudy the Vendor will stay open 24hr.

OK, This is the last communication from me for a while, so I'll leave you with a bit of philosophy:

Whether the weather be fine,
Or whether the weather be not,
Whether the weather be cold,
Or whether the weather be hot,
Weather the weather whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not.


Cheers and have a good one... whatever THAT might be

Tony

Yeah sorry mate. I was. I'm sure it will be fine. There is no weather forecaster on the planet that can accurately predict tomorrows weather let alone next week's. May the heavens provide ample clarity..

Apologies of course to any meteorologists in our midst who may claim their profession belongs to some sort of science.. (oops I did two insults didn't I..)

Just cleaned my primary for the first time in anticipation (that was a nerve wracking experience). Now i have this massive pile of gear at the front door and no idea how its going to fit in the jeep. Guess all that time wasted on tetris is going to pay of.

HRH & myself are in Ballina today, Brisvegas tomorrow, should be @ astrofest by Tuesday. We may turn up Monday, a day early, hopefully we can squeeze in somewhere if we get there early. Too late to Ask Tony or the elusive Anne Marie (formerly known as Anne-Louise).

I'm planning to make the long trip up from wintry Melbourne for next Saturday the 22nd. Fingers are crossed for continued warm weather and starry skies.


Hoping to peek through a few kind hearted people's scopes while I'm there.
