Our winter is rain, rain and more rain. People think it rains year round here, but the truth is that come summer, we are in drought conditions. The grass hurts your bare feet, the trees dry up, we're on watering restrictions and we all pray for those October rains to come early. I hope you get some relief soon.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292201375224761090.post-64061114127009784212016-02-27T20:55:51.090+11:002016-02-27T20:55:51.090+11:00Goodness that's hot!

It is mental at school with a wet t-shirt by 9.30am even in an air conditioned room (the only place in the entire school with air con). You look SO dry. I am hoping for winter asap too!(we did get massive rain today which was fab!

I do hope you get some rain soon. If I could, I'd send you some of ours.

In the summer it felt as if I lived in a world of cereal. Our hills were covered with that dry, brownish vegetation. <br /><br />Now I live in a green world in the middle of the USA, but the trade off is that our winter brings trees with no leaves at all.<br /><br />When I win the lottery, I shall just sell my house and follow the seasons around the world, choosing the best of the best. Dream on, Patsy!

Am however sick of the news reporting it all as heat waves, 'ummm hello Mr Weather Man, it is called Summer'. Unfortunately it seems to have been a dry one all around. It has been like that up here in Nth QLD as well although we got a bit of a rest from it for most of this week. I know that my car said it was 41 at about 4 in the afternoon on Monday. The humidity is a killer here, sapping the energy from you so I so get what you are feeling like. Doing anything is just too hot, let alone cooking. We are up for a clear weekend and I am hoping the temps don't get too high because our main air con just went on the blink. I don't like my chances. We might be off in search of a cool swimming spot. Stay cool and I hope the rain comes soon.CountryMousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799779599751379129noreply@blogger.com
