no no no! Tassie is too cold in winter for me.

I was there many years ago....... in Launceston at Easter, and it snowed!

:-(

It's a lot cooler her now, we've had thunder & lightning.

Hopefully the rest of the week will be nice.

Scozz, I wouldn't mind trying Tasmania for a while :-D

Been there a couple of times; the first was where my daughter, who was born in the UK, first encountered snow (she did see snow in the UK but was too young to remember)

A beautiful place, without the severe extremes of weather, or am I just imagining a Fool's Paradise?

I'm moaning about the heat, but I never want to live in a cold place again.

Memories of beer bottles on the porch for a party (the fridge was full of food), and the bottles froze & exploded!

It's now 7.40pm, cooled down to 25C, and there's drizzly rain & thunder. I hope this means a cool change.

I can't open my outside bins - the lids are frozen solid :-(

fleecy pj's?

I don't own any fleecy nightwear :-)

-5 here and dropping fast..

wearing my fleecy pjs tonight and pink bedsocks..lol


:-D

The whole area is currently on a blue alert :-(

Just looked at the weather maps.........

looks nasty near Broome. :-(

:-D :-D :-D

By the way, that tropical low is expected to develop into a cyclone tonight, according to the BOM

Aaaah, the Sunday joint :-D

We don't use that term here......... we might get into trouble

Nimbin isn't too far from us :-D

We had a turkey hindquarter, again a joint venture :-D

:-D

next question........

who made lunch?

or did you all go to the pub?

:-D

Scozz, we all did it

We didn't know, but daughter and her partner drove past on Saturday morning. They were amazed at how much gravel we had spread, and were even more amazed yesterday, when they arrived to help :-D

Well done Allan......... or daughter & partner :-D Who did it?

I know Mrs Allan was the foreman :-D

Not going to be nice at all today...... we usually have a sea view, but it's so hazy the sky & the sea look the same.

I hope WA doesn't get a cyclone!!!

Scoz, my apologies for the late reply to your questions at 02.13.

Here on the SW coast it is humid, but not intolerably so, and certainly not as humid as the North West. When I was in the goldfields the heat was dry

Yesterday the see breeze should have come in but didn't :-(

It becomes more humid here once a tropical cyclone develops. There is an intense tropical low affecting the Kimberleys, where recent rainfalls have been of the order of 100mm; there is the possibility that this could develop into a cyclone.

As for the wheelbarrow, my daughter and her partner brought over theirs, together with the wacker packer. All completed before lunch :-D

6.40am

The storm came in (I couldn't sleep, so watched it between 1 & 2 am) ....... over the ocean. Lots of lightning, I could hear distant thunder, but no rain. Looks like today is going to be another hot one.

I'd love to send some of the heat elsewhere :-D

Dry heat does wonders for arthritis, but hot & humid makes it worse.

Send me some of your heat here Scozz it
does wonders for my arthritis, the cold here
at the moment is playing havoc with me.

Send some sun and heat over here please as we need the ice melting so I can get out.
It's also freezing in Yorkshire,temp got down to -4 during the night....as I live out in Rural.farming area now. :-D :-D :-D

It's calm here, no breeze at all. The calm before the storm?

I hate the humidity. I'm sure it makes arthritis worse, I'm a limp, limping wreck today.

It has turned into a really nice day. Very warm but a nice breeze a'blowin'. It's overcast now and there is rumbling over the mountains so I should imagine we will get a storm. I don't mind :-)
