Amazing rain and wind storms along the NSW coast from the Hunter region north of Sydney to south of Sydney. Tragically, a family has died after their car went into a huge chasm carved out of a road through subsidence. Julia's DP site from Newcastle, shows you a beached coal ship which people fear will now break up and spread ship's oil all over Newcastle beaches. The area around Newcastle and the Hunter has been declared a natural disaster zone.
Nathalie's stamping ground of the Central Coast (the coastal area between Sydney and Newcastle) has also been hard hit.
I stayed indoors, and intend to do so again today...and indoor spots like the cafe in the Queen Victoria Building are just the places to be.
I love furniture in this cafe. I love so much !
ReplyDeleteLooks cosy there indoors. I fired the computer up and saw your reference to me in what was 'the danger zone',thanks Sally. I am a little wary of using the computer much because my power supply is threatened.
ReplyDeleteIn Poland luchtime is not so popular. We have different way of work, and we don't have a luchtime break. Afterwork people go for a dinner, about 3-4pm, usually at home.
ReplyDeleteBut there are more and more Western corporations who's beeing changing this. Unfortunately.
Unfortunately, because more peolple will be eating unhealthy fast foods istead some good dinner.
Anyway, this pastries and cakes looks so nice.
It looks like a French cafe…
ReplyDeleteIs it usual that only customers are women ?
We' ve had a drink just in that place! QVB...a good memory in a really beautiful gallery. Hope the weather will get getter this weekend...
ReplyDeleteBetter, of course.
ReplyDeleteI like the old chairs here in the phot; it makes a cozy atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteYou're right Sally, just the place to be! The atmosphere in this photo is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your concern. I am glad that we still have electricity at home, many of our friends in the neighbouring suburbs aren't so lucky. Many power lines have fallen down. We're counting our blessings.
I hope the coal ship doesn't break up and spill their oil. What a tragic event that would be for all the wildlife and the ocean. This weather is "different" everywhere this year. I have holly hock flowers that started to grow this spring, early, and then we had a deep freeze for several weeks. Now, my first holly hock bloomed (white) yesterday and the entire plant is only about 2-3 feet (6.3 cm) high where they are normally 5-7 feet (13.9 cm) high. In my lifetime I have never seen them this short.
ReplyDeleteWe normall have several inches of rain each month here in SW Ohio where I live and this year we have had almost none last month. I have carried water all month and am still doing it on the 9th day of June. It all sounds like an odd year to me.
Stay safe.
Pretty fhoto, congratulations. Have a good weekend
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a very pleasant thing to spend time in a cafe while the rain is raging. Is it safe to walk and drive the streets on such a weather?
ReplyDeleteOh, this is cozy, considering the weather outside...Stay dry!
ReplyDeleteIt's sad to see that one of the most beautiful cities in the world is getting an unfair portion of water these days. Like Isabella puts it, stay dry!
ReplyDeleteThis bar seems very sympathetic
ReplyDeletewith veather that it makes outside
you are not ready to leave
Vary good candid shot! Grate lighting and contrast.
ReplyDeleteHope you guys stay safe and dry.
ReplyDeleteIs the little girl eating scones with jam and butter? Yummy!!
