Well winter
has more or less come. It is still quite
nice during the day, but getting colder at night and we have had our first
fire. This fireplace really warms up the
whole house. When the home owners were here over the summer they did quite a
lot of work to the grounds, and chopped down one or two trees that were
dropping lots of stuff into the pool. We have the benefit of that now with
plenty of firewood on hand for this year, although Peter and some friends chopped
down a couple of trees down by the road last year. So firewood is not a problem
for us.
The cooler weather also means the grass is not growing so fast, meaning less mowing. Most of the work is done on a ride on mower, but at the back of the house there is a bank and it is too steep to mow, so Peter does that with a whipper snipper, also known as a weed whacker or weed eater depending on where you live.
We have a
man called Jeff Higgins who is fascinated by weather, and lives in Queensland.
A while ago he started posting information on facebook, and he is pretty
accurate with his information. He is especially interested in storms, and most
of you will know that here in Australia we can get some really vicious
thunderstorms, not to mention the cyclones etc Queensland gets from time to
time. Anyway, Jeff puts up some wonderful photos, and here are two really good pics. I have also put up his Facebook page if you
want to check it out.
