Yes please..It's still warm here and it's making it hard to sleep >:( A light wisp of rain would make it nice and cool I think.


message 4805: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm done with the rain you can have it all if you like just send me back some sun!


message 4806: by Helen (new)

Helen Quinn Hi. I'm in Perth - you can borrow our sun for a while.It is so hot here I have been sitting under a tree watching one of my chooks training her new chicken which I bought at a hatchery place. The poor little thing does not know 'chook language' as she hasn't had a chook mum before. Gee! talk about tough love! One step away from her'zone' and she gets a peck! The chick is learning very quickly!

Haha!! That would be very cute to watch:) I certainly wouldn't swap your weather for ours Helen, even though we have high humidity, which I hate. Your heat is a lot worse!!

Shane Well thankfully, here on the Sunshine Coast, we are finally getting some good warm sun again - after a few weeks of constant rain and some flooding. The humidity is not too bad atm which is a bonus.

Oh dear, well you may as well be comfortable! It's been 19c here today, and I'm still in 3/4 shorts and t-shirt!!


message 4819: by Neko (new)

Neko I think yesterday it was in it's 11's or so that I switched the heater to 19 and like you could easily still enjoy being in 3/4 shorts....Today I think was colder..Felt chilly like a Winters morning..Even my car was all dewey at 6am!

Yeah, it went well Brenda. I had to change a few classes around, but all in all I think I've got some great class groups, even though I dont get to see my friends as much :/

Glad you are happy with your class groups, Jess and I guess you'll see your friends at the breaks anyway. Then you'll all compare notes:)

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9989 comments Is anyone else getting multiple copies of the GR New Discussions from Aussie Readers email digest? Lately I get 2, sometimes 3, sometimes two sent at the same time, then another minutes/hours later, all identical. Then, for a while, just one new one each day, then back to multiples.......weird

Me too, always get sent 2 at the same time, then once in a while just one, then back to two again.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9989 comments So this morning I got up, looked at my overnight email and there's one at 10.56pm, one at 10.58pm and one at 12.49am, all identical. Crazy!

Hope you love it - it's just about my most favourite place - so beautiful! it has its own microclimate so you can be lucky evn when its bad elsewhere. Still worth walking even when it's raining and you have to feed the fish!
