G'day people. It's cold here. Ruddy cold. Sow on the Alps, they said yesterday. 15 cm. Today it's been snowing at Lithgow (west of Sydney) which means snow on the Blue Mountains too. And probably snow on the Southern Highlands, where we drove our friends from Philadelphia at Easter. And that's where the wind is blowing from.
All around the sky, the clouds are very dark purple. Of course it will never snow here, we're too close to the sea, with water temperatures too high for it to snow. difficult child 3 doesn't believe me; after our experience with the blizzards and heavy snows in New Zealand last year, he reckons it's that cold now, here. It's the wind chill factor.
We visited his friend this afternoon, taking with us some food for the Rainbow Lorikeets and the camera, to see if we could get some footage of them. But I think it was too cold for them to come near the houses. We could hear them in the distance, but we gave up and went inside out of the cold. I think difficult child 3's hands would have been shaking too much on the camera anyway.
I had washing on the line all day. It finally dried, thanks to the high winds, but it took a lot longer because it was so cold.
And it's only April! Ski season doesn't officially begin until mid-June!
Brrr!
Tomorrow difficult child 3 & I are driving into the city to visit his school for a face to face English lesson with his teacher. Here's hoping we can finally help her understand what sort of help he needs here.
Enjoy your Monday.
