Monday Feb 22, 2010 - Strahan

Not much planned for today. Tried to see if I could get my hair permed. The hairdresser is not open on Mondays. Sought out a new hair dresser in the area but he did not have any perm solution. Will try in Wynyard. We sent a parcel out from the post office. Did some shopping then came back to the cottage. Charles decided to play some golf so off he went.

Around noon the weather started to change drastically. Black clouds moved in and the wind picked up. Soon it was raining very hard. I hoped Charles did not get too wet. As quickly as it started the rain stopped, and the skies brightened a little. Soon Charles arrived back and not too wet. The rest of the day went like that. Black clouds move in, the wind picks up and the rain starts. You could do some things between the squalls but you had to be careful not to wait too long or it was pouring again. They got 3 cm of rain over the afternoon and evening. It was crazy. Have not seen weather like it. We spent the day watching DVDs. Charles did manage to BBQ steaks during all of this.
