I was actually going to have a weekend at home but then the weather forecast was for 36 degrees both days - and that's no fun in Canberra, so I went to see the sea. Which was nowhere near 36 degrees! A massive storm hit Canberra Friday evening and me about two hours later - lots of lightning and rain but luckily the beach kept power ... unlike poor Canberra, and number two's flight back to Melbourne was cancelled because the plane couldn't land, so disruption all round.
Number two was in town as a finalist in a play-writing competition - he didn't win but there was still a cash prize for being a finalist and it was highly competitive, so we are very proud of him. And they flew him up to Canberra and put him up in a hotel for a night! Fancy. The picture above is the function where they announced the winner and launched the 2024 theatre season; it was very chill and actually quite a pleasant way to spend an evening (we weren't sure! theatre event! could be anything!).
Contrast to the beach sky on Saturday afternoon - building up for another storm. Good to get the rain.
