[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 103189, member: 1991"] G'day Sharon, and all to follow. Fifteen degrees - that's colder than I've ever been! And at that temperature, it darn well SHOULD be the light fluffy snow, how on earth can it get warm enough to turn into ice? I hope you've got your snow tyres on the car. Looking at the little figure on the treadmill - if the roads are that icy, do you NEED to get to the health club? Surely walking on ice is much the same? difficult child 3 & I had a day in Sydney at the Maritime Museum for a school excursion to see Ótzi, the ice mummy. Fascinating. I managed the place on my mobility scooter, caught the train to the city and back with the scooter and then did some shopping before difficult child 3's drama class. Another big afternoon/evening storm - the Sydney southerly buster is back, but not much rain in it for us. Yesterday the storm drenched the city but barely a splash for us. It's a warm rain, no raincoats or umbrellas needed because after the heat of the day we just want to cool off. Afterwards you can see the steam rising from the roads, and the bushland. The smell of damp bushland is pure heaven, I wish we had more of it. The news tonight - the wheat crop is a disaster, the rice crop is vastly reduced. Australia is going to have to import the foods we used to export. Crops are failing because expected rains just don't turn up. Even forecast rain - the clouds may form, rumble overhead but nothing falls. A quiet day tomorrow, thank goodness, although difficult child 3 is going to have to complete a lot of work so we can take it in to school on Thursday - a NASA excursion. Satellite link for the top students, difficult child 3 has done well enough to get an invitation. And as his home supervisor, I get to go too! Wacko! Bewdy bottler, for a typical Aussie expression of delight. Enjoy your Tuesday, everyone. I'm sitting here, a small grease spot in a puddle of sweat, carrying a towel wherever I go. Crikey, it's hot here! Marg [/QUOTE]
