It was sure Ice this morning. I only get it in the part of the garden with no trees. If I park under the trees then I miss out.
I didn't realise that where you are it is still classified as 'the hills' . Do you get the cold wind there?

It was 'only' 24 c today and it is forecast 25c for tomorrow- it is a hard life. Mind you I am so aclimatised that it does not even feel that warm to me yet.

Great, so when we arrive at the beginning of December, summer should be in full swing

Looks like I need to ship the ice scraper by the sound of it!

Only 88 days to go

Yeah by December we should be getting a few 30 degrees days. You won't need the ice scraper, its just a very fine film of frost, you could blow it off ( Yikes, am I allowed to say that to? )

Where have you been anyway, not seen you on here for ages.

Now be careful Bordy

I've been looking in and seeing whats going on :scared: .

Moved house 3 times, getting rid of cr@p, sorting out paperwork for moving etc etc..

Things have calmed down now.

Just looking forward to leaving work and having a month catching up with mates before leaving.

Cold start to the day today but driving up the freeway into Perth at lunch time with clear blue sky, Swan River sparkling on the left, Kings Park and city skyline ahead, good music playing, made me feel so glad I'm here

I was going to throw the snow shovel out, but my husband said 'it would be handy when we went skiing'. I think our 20ft container needs to be a tardis!

Men - why do they keep everything?

Hi- are you from the Woking area?
I have only visited WA once for a holiday and we hired bikes and cycled around Kings park, I loved the view to the River and city.
