There’s not really been a proper winter for quite a few years. Mrs Shelton is a gardener, and I’m an enthusiastic watcher of her efforts, and there are “spring” buds beginning to appear on some plants from late July.
That doesn’t really worry me so long as we get enough of that substance that comes in drops and we’re not allowed to mention in this thread, and that seems to be going okay. The dams are continuing to rise.
Crazy cold down here, but actually acclimatised to it, wear appropriate clothing and all good, actually saw a few people walking around in shorts today!
“No sense, No feeling”, as the Old man used to say.
The Antarctic blob is on the way
Ugh, … 
Snowing at Mt Macedon.
Wild winds, even inside the caldera. Early dinner , candles and rugs handy.
Meanwhile in US, warnings of unsurvivsble floods in parts of Texas and Louisiana connected to Hurricane Laura.
31 forecasted for Adelaide tomorrow
Simply glorious out there in Melbourne, a superb blue sky.
Enjoy it all within your 5km zone.
Still rather chilly if not in the direct sun and getting the breeze on you. But still a sweet day. Tomorrow is going to be warmer, around 23 I think.
From Sunday Bloody Sunday, to Monday Sunny Monday.
Good to get back at it walking on dry stable ground with the Sun on the back for a bit.
Keep it up Spring.
■■■■■■■ WINDY
Have you tried riding a bike lately? Nearly got blown into the path of a truck today. I’ve given up on hand turn signals, you don’t wanna be riding one handed when that 100km/h gust comes for you.
I need to fix some loose tin on the roof but no way. Nek minnut I see an 85 yo [spec] geezer climbing a ladder up his nail on brick house. Mad, drunk, senile, on drugs or possibly the lot, it was Footscray after all.
more worried im gonna be looking for toto in oz soon, than riding a bike.
My roof is rattling right now. I thought that gaffer tape I put up 5 years ago would still be good.
I’ll join you. Probably not by choice.
I’m standing in a driveway in Truganina Covid testing truck drivers. What shi tful night. Hasn’t let up.
Finally got a lull in the wind so I could get on the roof to screw down some sheets that have been flapping about.
must say it’s a very nice day out there in Melbourne at the moment.
a bit windy but the warm sun is much appreciated
enjoy
