[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 575765, member: 1991"] G'day, SuZir and all to follow. I'm glad your weather is more temperate than some people's. Pity about the sulky teen... It's hot weather here, the hottest part of our summer. School holidays are almost over, the new school year will start in a few days. It's almost 10 pm here and 26C (79F). The overnight temperature won't drop below 24C tonight, so it's naked under the ceiling fan tonight. Or is that too much information? Tomorrow husband & I are going on a heritage train trip to Newcastle, north of Sydney. There and back in one day. It's a scenic trip covering the river systems north of Sydney - starting with Sydney Harbour, then the Hawkesbury River system (a drowned river valley like Sydney - very beautiful and a lot wilder, sparsely populated) and on to Lake Macquarie. I have not been to Newcastle by train in daylight so I can't recall if the rain trip in there travels alongside the Hunter River as it comes into Newcastle city, but I think it does. We'll also be going past the lake edge restaurant where easy child & SIL1 were married. I painted that scene last Saturday at an art and craft day at our church. We're looking forward to the trip. It is also Australia Day - the Aussie equivalent to 4th July. It will be quite exciting. And also another hot day. In this hot weather, it is also very humid. That humidity comes from the warm oceans (climate change sceptics, look away now) and then condenses out into mighty thunderstorms which cannot always be predicted by the weather bureaus. We have a Sydney phenomenon called the Sydney Southerly Buster, which I remember from childhood - an afternoon thunderstorm, sometimes with hail - which roars up the coast with licorice-anvil clouds, slams into the city and everything in its path and then is gone, leaving steam rising from the roads and increasing the humidity. I'm told tomorrow's train is not air-conditioned. That's the point of heritage, I guess. So I'm going to dress light, probably over a swimsuit, so if/when the southerly buster hits, I'll be out in it, dancing in the rain. Enjoy your Friday. Marg [/QUOTE]
