The end

Posted on December 31, 2009 by Gary

The final day of 2009 was grim, grey and chilly. We’re hoping for some sunshine tomorrow. I watched the Sydney fireworks this afternoon. It’s the only thing that makes me homesick. Always brings a tear to my eye. Anyway, this … Continue reading →

Too much cheese

Posted on December 29, 2009 by Gary

Rain all day. Wet, drizzly, miserable, grey-skied day. Not pleasant. Pity I haven’t put my weather station outside yet. There would have been some good readings today. My trip into town was delayed today due to my sleeping in and … Continue reading →

Elvis isn’t dead!

Posted on December 26, 2009 by Gary

Weather-wise, it was a day of all sorts.  Blue skies, grey clouds, sun showers, mud.  Decidedly not cold and the snow has all melted. The poodles were a bit over excited, growling and snarling over various bits of dead turkey … Continue reading →

Calendar mistakes

Posted on December 25, 2009 by Gary

The day brightened up beautifully.  We started with grey clouds and what looked like becoming a grim old Christmas day but then, out of the blue, came the…err…blue.  The rest of the day was glorious though still cold. I’m starting … Continue reading →

Inexplicable

Posted on December 24, 2009 by Gary

The weather is getting warmer and the snow is now ice and slush.  Late in the day, ghostly clouds of frozen fog can be seen rising from the sports fields at the top of the park.  Eerie. Hopefully I’ve managed … Continue reading →

Knowing one’s limits

Posted on December 23, 2009 by Gary

The weather today ranged from blue skies to grey clouds to sleet to…I think it’s raining now but not sure.  I guess there’ll be no snow for Christmas then. Well, never let it be said I don’t know what I’m … Continue reading →
