left Sydney in pitch black and pouring rain, starting to clear as the sun rises near Taree I'm heading up to check up on my house on the mid north coast and check out a location at Urunga should be a nice day, compared to the rain I left behind in Sydney trucks on my ass and I'm doing 110 :-( misty aaah, 5 hours later, beloved Scotts Head, but, unlike surf forecast, flat as a pancake, no surf today damn it still pretty without the waves

panorama of backyard "my house ... in the middle of the street .." checking up on the creek we came to when ever we were up here with the kids,
