Rain Shower

Sat, 2020-04-25 07:06

 Standing out by the road at 0530 and we copped our first rain shower for ages, we all stood there and got soaked, nothing compared to what our forebears copped many decades ago.

 Was still quite poignant with all the families on the street paying their respects.

Driveway for us

Sat, 2020-04-25 16:53

 ABC 5:30 service with what's left of the family at home. Bit miffed that only 2 families from the whole street got out.

Hell our street was full

Sat, 2020-04-25 17:17

An avenue of candlelight but the Anzac app so heavily promoted failed.....worked for a minute then ABC coverage dropped out and couldn't be restored but it didn't detract from the solemn experience

I was very suprised

It was a pleasant surprise to see so many of my street turn out at 0545 this morning and a most humbling experience.

Really pleasing in our part

Sun, 2020-04-26 14:17

Really pleasing in our part of town. We are opposite a cul-de-sac and 7 out of the 9 houses had people out the front Candles two doors down to the left and 3 doors down to the right. 

I cant help but think it would have been the biggest physical turnout to a Anzac day and brought a tear to my eye during the last post.

I had my radio at full noise and would have gladly offended anyone that wasnt already out there.
