Not long home from a lovely day in the city with my sister where we met Judy Nunn at her book signing in Dymocks.I had a lovely chat with her about her new book Spirits of the Ghan and also discussed, at some length, her short story The House on Hill Street which I just read last week.
I made comments about it on my review of same at: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
It was lovely talking to her :)

She's a fabulous, down to earth lady isn't she Jools...so glad you had a good time!
Mod
Sounds like a lovely day Julie :)"
Still 38 here, but hopefully not too far away...
This is one of the only times in history I've been able to brag at Sydneysiders about how cool it is in Adelaide.It's fantastic.

Wonderful! I hope it cools the house down nicely so you can sleep tonight... that's the worst after a hot day I think.

I even switched on the car heater this morning instead of winding down the window like I usually do.

Lovely

No rain at all. I don't think it is forecast.
Mod
I just found out Barbara Feldon and Barbara Eden will be at Supanova. I wasn't planning on going but I am so excited that I will definitely be there! In other news I'm pretty sure I won't be able to walk tomorrow, I have just done my third kung fu class. Wrecked but feeling great!
Mod
I don't feel energetic in class, everyone else is so good. It's something new, just trying to get fitter!

Was kinda funny cause it hasn't snowed on Mt.Wellington on Xmas in YEARS that all the children in the classroom thought the teacher was telling fibs...haha

No I didn't think to take a photo until much later when I was upstairs watching more people lining up to see her, I took a couple of pics from up there but they weren't very good.

I was watching a thing on climate change on ABC news but had to turn it off as the thought of a summer getting any hotter than we have usually, is a scary thought for me.
As you guys talk about how hot it is in Australia; it is currently - 4 in my neck of the woods.
Brrr, that's chilly, Melissa. At the moment, it's 9C here on south-west coast Victoria heading for a top of 16C. But two days ago, we had 30C; so true of Spring weather to ping-pong up and down the scale. Although, where I am, it's usually about 2 degrees cooler than Melbourne temps. Plus, I'm on the water so I get a lovely sea breeze.

Agree, very sad.
Mod
5.30am this morning - 19 here; 5 Melbourne; 3 Canberra; 9 Adelaide - didn't look any further! lol
I still find it crazy that you guys have Christmas in the middle of the summer.

Lol, I can only imagine.

I'd love a white Christmas! I really am not built for the heat here. I find it unbearable. Should have been born in Europe or something!
Mod
Brenda, I keep joking that I should move to Tasmania! Maybe I really should do it. The weather would be much nicer.

To be fair, in Vancouver we get rainy Christmases generally lol.

Rainy? Oh, my delusions of white Canadian Christmases have been dashed! Is there at least some snow involved?

It depends what part of Canada. Vancouver tends to be a milder climate; we get one or two dumps of snow and tons of rain. However, cities like Calgary and Winnipeg are covered in snow by snow; as are the three Territories.

Sounds beautiful - Canada is on my bucket list. I'd love to see it!
