No, it wasn't called that when it moved to June - just cracker night. I think it was being called that when it was still in November. Aussie kids probably wouldn't have known who Guy Fawkes was.

I can remember reports of kids blowing off their fingers or losing an eye from fireworks when you could buy them. Some parents too....

Good morning, EB's. It's the weekend!!!

[Marianne]

Double yay!

[Vicki]

Morning, Bette and Marianne!

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Good Morning EB's! And a YaY from me too!

A bit of a pea souper here this morning.

Lovely weather here today so far...

[Vicki]

Expecting a hot one here.

[Carolyn]

Triple Yay!

ooops that should be quadruple Yay!

Quite warm here already.

[B the BookAddict]

I can tell there were some 'worker bees' very happy to have the weekend here:)

[Leonie]

Am also glad it's the weekend! Although the forecast is for 36 degrees today, followed by 37 etc for pretty well the whole week. Time to hide inside and write I think.

EB's and WB's Bette :)

[Sharon]

Ditto!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Soooo hot here today - 30c by 9am and counting now:(

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

It's 30 here at the moment and there is a gentle breeze coming in the window. Lovely.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oh lucky with the breeze - none here:( We have the air con on!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

We aren't close to the sea but we still benefit from the coastal breeze sometimes. Today must be one of those times.

[Leonie]

33.7 and rising apparently. No breeze. Aircon is on, but only a little. Our insulation is working well :)

I'm glad that you do, as it's going to get nasty!

Take it easy today:)

The ideal opportunity to sit and write, and then maybe read a little bit later :)

I watched my girls play softball in the heat. They're good though, they don't complain. Lots of ice blocks ;). Not much reading time around here lately.. I'll catch up eventually. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

[Neko]

It's only 16C here...But it feel warming tho.

Kids don't seem to worry about the weather do they Suzanne:) Not so sure about Mum watching in the heat though;) Don't worry, you'll catch up!

[Leonie]

Thunder! And panicky dog.

Leonie wrote: "Thunder! And panicky dog."

Noooo!!!

[Leonie]

I love thunderstorms! But this one's been a bit short lived, with very little rain so far. Hopefully we'll have a bit more.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I don't mind them either, but I don't like the dog's reaction to them!!

[Leonie]

Poor Anzac, he's a big sook. The problem is he is big, and when he thinks he should be as close as possible to you, then it's a little tricky at times. (46kg of German Shepherd.)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL! My little Chloe is thankfully not THAT big;) 10kg is her:)

[Leonie]

He's a big boy! This was taken during a thunderstorm last year - he was trying to hop on Mal's lap!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL!!! Sooks they are, all of them!

[K]

I have two giant breed sooks. A bullmastiff and a Great Dane x bull Arab and they both love being on my lap or leaning on me. Lol

[K]

The bullmastiff is about 50kg and the Dane x would probably be close to 40.

[Neko]

We must have a family of kookaburras living near us..Keeping hearing a bunch of them lately...It is rather lovely though :)

Speaking of sooks, oldie but a goodie.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Aww that is so gorgeous!!! Thanks Liam:)

What a welcome! Poor dog; he must have really missed his owner!

Good morning Earlies!

News yesterday of another wave of the 'Windows' scam going around Aust. Be on your guard, everyone.

[Marianne]

You are up VERY early, Bette. Can't even tell what sort of a morning it is yet, except it's 19oC and no stars....
weather radar says it's going to rain on my washing that's still on the line from yesterday (too muggy to dry properly)
Have a good day, everyone!

[B the BookAddict]

@Marianne, Just amended my review of The Miniaturist.

[Marianne]

@Bette, I like it even more now, but there's no button for that...

[B the BookAddict]

@Marianne Did not like to amend something 'liked' without letting you know! Thanks. Sad I was disappointed with the book, I was so looking forward to it. Note to self: Beware of hype!

[Marianne]

Indeed! I think the hype on Lost and Found built up my expectations of that, so I was a tad disappointed..

[Sharon]

Good morning all. Hubby and I are going off to a market today, so fingers crossed I find some books :) Have a great day everyone.
