My local New Years Eve Picnic.

on the Waterfront, Gosford, NSW

Haven't been on for a while, just sorting through how I want my life to develop. So far, I have been distancing myself away from a group of friends I seem to have outgrown. Same old same old.

A couple of months ago I met an old friend from 10 years ago who invited me along to a new group he had started, we meet up on Friday evenings to have dinner together and some head off to various clubs to watch and listen to music.

This seems to be more my fit. I have met some lovely people and have been invited along to a Coffee and Chat group and another social group which travel down to Sydney to visit art galleries and museums and do ferry trips. Oh! a fellow I met told me about a local camera group. Its all happening.

The daily Pelican Feeding at The Entrance, NSW.

These Pelican waited patiently for 20 minutes for their free feed.

Parents of children under 2 were warned to keep a firm hold of their children.

Australia's Biggest Morning Tea

to raise funds in the fight against cancer.

A local single's group raised $130.00 hosting a morning tea with

 more money donated online.

It's a fun way to raise money for cancer research, prevention

 and support services for cancer patients and their families.


Lucky Door prizes.

Unfortunately,I didn't win anything but the food was delicious. :-)

A beautiful finish to a cold day.

Tuggerah, Central Coast, NSW

Tuggerah Lakes was in flood in June.

Here the Lake has encroached onto the picnic area.

Aussie Bloggers Conference 2011

I had a truly fabulous day yesterday met up with some lovely bloggers (like meeting celebrities) who I had been commenting with online and chuckling over their Tweets over the years. Completely forgot to take photos as the conference was so well run, I had to concentrate on who was speaking and watching the room's activities. Loved the meet'n'greet game at the start

Maybe someone else can list all contents as I've had to call in the SES because the ceiling in my bedroom now has a hole in it as a result of the horrendous deluge of rain we have had these past two days in Sydney and the NSW Central Coast. More here

Beaches along the eastern seaboard of Australia were closed today because of the Earthquake in Chile and the resulting Tsanami that was thought may have some impact on the local beaches.

So while I was running errands today,

I went along to The Entrance Beach to take some photos.

Beach closed due to Tsanami warning

as a result of Chile earthquake.

Lifesavers sitting around feeling bored, the beach is usually crowded on a Sunday morning. Lots of stickybeaks driving down to the Central Coast beaches but all they are seeing is flat surf - low tide.

My dogs have started to yap as there is some local thunder, we have had quite a few thunder/lightning storms this summer and the dogs and cat have become very jittery.

The place looks deserted but within the shops,
Christmas shoppers and tourists are spending up big.
