"So are we worried about the cylone?
I will be checking the bloody weather web site all the time now!
Have you taped the windows yet?
- and filled up the bath and brought tinned food and tied down
all the garden furniture?
How is the weather there are the mo - much rain or wind yet?
There is a girl from Townsville at work and we are both watching
Ingrid closely!
