We are fortunate that it is only a one day heatwave, with a cool change due late afternoon - though the wind change itself can be dangerous for spreading the fires. We are relying on our solar panels and air conditioning today, but aware we are in a much more moderate corner here that has not encountered the sustained heat and drought of much of the interior. Meanwhile the country lags badly on climate action and attempts to open new coal mines to keep exporting fossil fuels!Jayviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358384803437366118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-70782031687405999062019-01-03T06:02:59.042-08:002019-01-03T06:02:59.042-08:00Lovely to read Si' answer - snowdrops are out ...Lovely to read Si' answer - snowdrops are out so Spring has started.

I think we must all just make the most of the good days and be willing to expect the inevitable wintry weather just around the corner.
