It is 2am in the usually easy going town of Gympie, but it seems to be all go outside our place right now.
At 1am, I went for my shower, as Les had gone to bed and I really needed to reduce the aching in my back. Here I am, scrubbing away (and trying to keep the shampoo out of my eyes! lol.) when all of a sudden, I can hear a helicopter! OMG! It sounded like it was going to land on our roof it was that loud!
No such luck! Damn! Going to have to wait until the next 4 bedroom house comes up instead of forcing the issue with a high flying machine! lol.
I finished up, got dressed, and went tearing outside to see what all the fuss was. We live across the road from Gympie State High School oval. Over by the entry gate was an ambulance and a medic support vehicle. Ok, obviously the heli-pad by the hospital can't be used, as it is rather foggy out there tonight!
Well, this helicopter has been flying around in circles non stop for the past hour, shining it's spotlight right into our windows, so now I don't know what to think. It is like they are looking for someone, but there are no police cars anywhere, only the ambulance and support vehicle.
The noise has been deafening to say the least, and my girls are all stirring, so I don't think it will be long and I will be dragging the futon cushion onto the floor, grabbing all the spare blankets and bunking down with my girls for the night, only I won't be sleeping! lol.
Yeah, I'm a sticky beak, especially when it comes to something that affects my family, and this is!!!!!!!!
Oh well, it's gone quiet again, but for how long. Best keep moving. Maybe it will be on the news tomorrow night, who knows, I just want to know why they are waking us up in the middle of the night with the constant back and forth of the over grown mosquito!!!!!!!!!! |

Re: Excitement Plus Here Right Now!!!!!!
i would have woken hubby to go out i would have been to scared .
but i know what you mean! before we knocked down our house to build our bedroom was in the front and i sleep with blinds open. anyway at 4.00am i woke to sirens and the red light of the fire brigade flashing in our room .
the firebrigade had stopped in front of our house im a light sleeper so i woke snd thought our house must be on fire!!! im shaking my husband awake telling him our house was on fire. poor hubby he is a heavier sleeper.
he got a bigger start than me. it turns out it was 4 doors down the wman used to smoke in brd and her room caught alight so she called the fire brigade,
meanwhile all the neighbours had awoken and at the time i had a brick fence so all the neighbours were sitting on our fence us included all in our dressing gowns awaiting the outcome.
so i do know how you feel about this. but its harder not knowing what the problem was .
let us know if you have any dramas tonight!
cheers annie
