Marg's Man here.
You know that bug that Marg said that difficult child 2/easy child 2 had? She's got it now and "feeling poorly" so you have to put with my ramblings tonight (errm, today). Why does it seem that the only things the kids share is their diseases? LOL
Another warm day, only in the high twenties where we are, thanks to a cooling north easterly breeze coming off the ocean, in Sydney's west it got to the mid thirties. It doesn't bother me too much until it gets in the high thirties but I like it cooler when I try to sleep. Marg's the other way round. But; no matter how crook she is; she'll get a swim in if she can. Actually she says she just went and lay on the beach with her friend. [True! Marg]
We just finished watching Letterman. We don't normally get him here [yes we do - midnight shift, right before the all-night advertorials] but one of the channels put the show on because it was the one featuring Terri & Bindi Irwin. Crikey! I'm glad we don't get him normally. I know he's pretty popular over there but I just couldn't put up with him and resorted to watching something and switching back every five minutes or so until the Irwin ladies came on. Bindi just blew him away - OK she's eight but I got the distinct impression that Letterman was completely out of his depth.
They were on his show to promote Tourism Australia where Terri (officially) and Bindi (unofficially) are Tourism Ambassadors for us. If you think about it - you're in the middle of winter and we're in the middle of summer. Combine that with the fact that next Friday (26 January) is Australia Day and it makes sense that we want to encourage the world to come see us.
Marg mentioned the fires yesterday - these are the SAME ONES that have been burning since early December. One weather forecaster said that only Bass Strait or floods will stop them after burning continuously for nearly fifty days now (I'm not sure if it's 46, 47 or 48) they are expecting another bad weekend as temperatures climb into the forties on the fireground.
You may want to be warmer wherever you are but you don't want it t-h-a-t warm. Keep well everyone.
