One should be careful never to criticise or underestimate a woman. After yesterday's critique of Cyclone Olga's performance, she felt compelled to offer a reminder of her technique and capacity. After crossing the coast at Karumba, insteady of fading into the customary steady, rainy Low, she joined forces with the bottom edge of a monsoon trough and seems intent on giving the whole of coastal and central Queensland a good drenching accompanied by strong, gusty winds. They blew all night and show no signs of abating today. I withdraw all recommendations to the Weather Bureau and agree that they should continue with their current system.
We had intended to travel to Malanda this morning, a distance of about 16 km each way. On the last Sunday of each month, the Malanda Cancer Support Group meets in the local Tennis Clubhouse (shed ?), to provide social contact for people (male & female) who are currently being treated for cancer, who are in recovery, or who have recovered. Partners and support persons also make up the group who maintain a positive but realistic attitude towards this disease. Because of the strength and persistence of the elderly Olga, (Woops ! Be careful !), we felt it would be safer to remain home today and resume contact again at the end of February, (Weather permitting).
