Shattered!

Today we spent some time with friends of ours from Canberra, Craig, Karena and their kids BJ (9) and Sarah (7). They are in the middle of a holiday on the Gold Coast. Went to a park down by the Broadwater, had some lunch and then the kids had a swim in the resort pool where they were staying. The kids enjoyed themselves. James competed in a putting and hoola-hoop competition, and made it through some elimination rounds before being knocked out with only a handful of kids remaining.

On the way to the resort I drive down a section of the Indy car street circuit being prepared for next weekends race. It is quite narrow and the concrete walls would be daunting at high speed.

When I got home I decided to have a look at our roof tiles for any broken tiles from the hail. Well, within seconds of putting my head above the roof line I realised that the tiles were the least of my worries. The solar panels of the solar hot water system were completely shattered. Hopefully it won't cost too much to repair or replace but I am expecting it to be costly. I replaced a roof tile that was broken into about 4 pieces. There are also a bunch of other tiles that will need some repair due to cracks.
