Hello!
Things are slow around here.
Weather still completely horrible and uninspiring!!
I am enjoying reading your Ink Blot Test answers!!
I’ll leave the competition open until the end of the weekend!
It didn’t rain much today, but still cool and the wind relentless.
I did get out and plant some things in the lettuce garden (spinach and some purple lettuce)
I’ve also noticed that now the birds are coming in and eating the strawberry leaves!!!???
Poor strawberries are never going to do anything this season.
I’ll have to net ASAP
The bees were out in force – they are loving the flowering thyme and the other plants in the side garden
I picked a bunch of herbs to make up rissoles today.
Jeff, just having come off nightshift, wasn’t wanting much for dinner so will save my efforts for tomorrow nights dinner.
I can still hear the wind out there, but it seems to be less ferocious than before.
I haven’t looked at the forecast.
Up on Cradle Mt and the Overland Track its been snow and blizzards.
A few of the hikers have set off their PLB’s for chopper rescue!
Meanwhile up in NSW and Qld, they are battling insane fires. Its not even summer. Something like 50 fires are burning in NSW with about 35 of those not under control.
Its horrific.
Lives lost, properties gone…. I can’t even begin to think of the wildlife.
While we have cold and snow, they have 40 deg C days (over 100F) and high dry winds.
My best friends husband has travelled to the fire zones to fight.
If this is spring – summer has the potential to be diabolical.
It can be a harsh country 🙁
Hopefully the weather will turn for the people in the fire zones. A bit of rain or, at the very least, a drop in the wind.
Hope your week has had some sensible weather 🙂
Cheers
In San Antonio Texas…USA. We’re heading into winter and we just had two nights of below freezing temperatures. The front that brought these low temperatures caused a huge, massive area of our country to be under all manner of watches. Snow and very low temperatures. Meanwhile fires in California…global warming I tell ya!
Its crazy isn’t it? Its still raining and cold here. Wind has dropped for the minute.
I think Australia has organised one of your waterbombing aircraft to come and help us – sadly the people in charge of the country have been sidestepping meeting with fire chiefs since April who could see this fire season heading into disaster. Whole towns here have actually run out of water due to the drought… and we are not even in summer yet! 🙁
Stay warm and have a lovely weekend.
