I'm over it already can't wait for the summer ! though I'm glad not having to mow the lawns near on weekly.

Mostly misty nothing here, although 1.4 mm yesterday which may help with moisture retention.. Tomorrow & next week look promising.
Still all that rain from the West, keeps slipping above or below us.

I just did Texas Long Horn tour today, well worth the visit with these beasts, fascinating bit of information.
Tonight, will be a bit of nostalgia with a Twin drive in movies.

Atherton, 23° then off to Kuranda Markets today, 24°, sunny days and cool nights of 9°.
We lucky with the weather as the locals told us they have had 3 months of rain; you can tell with everything being so green.
Cheers

Was at the markets a few weeks back: Hope you find it a better use of time than we did. Very disappointing compared to what it used to be.

My daughters flying back into town today. She's definitely looking forward to the warm weather again.

I'm jealous of both of you!

Another rainy day washing out weekend sport again. Not that I play, but I’ll have to cross off a sausage, bacon and egg roll from the local football field from today’s lunch options.

Port Douglass, tropical balmy weather the way I like it, been a very long time since I've had to open all windows and roof vents in my pop top caravan.

Bound to be a Bunning's sausage sizzle somewhere.
Seems otherwise to be the weekend family hangout spot these days.

Is that going to burn your crop’s shoots?

Better put a dash of brandy in the dog’s water to stop it freezing again.
