Cool nights and sunny days.

The nights have been cold, sometimes dropping to -5C or below and it usually means we have lovely sunny, if chilly, days. But it's usually lunch time before the sun is coming  through our sitting room windows and we can turn the heat pump off.


It hasn't stopped the jonquils from putting on a beautiful, cheery display along the front of the house though.


The afternoons are fairly warm(ish) up to 12C sometimes and one afternoon last week I went out to a very enjoyable Aglow meeting. The board had gone to the trouble of creating some small vignettes around the room relating to the theme of the afternoon.



We finished off with afternoon tea before we headed home again. It was cooling down again by then.


 You'll have to forgive me for going on about the weather. I don't like the cold. Daughter in law Sofi, says down south everyone talks about the weather - in Auckland everyone talks about the traffic. I'm down south 😄
But in just over a week we're heading to Auckland, where I won't talk about the traffic because I won't be driving in it, and then we're heading to Mackay in north Queensland. Looking forward to some warmer weather in both places.

I'll leave you there.
Keep well and keep warm.
Until next time, 
Diana

  2. The vignettes at the Aglow meeting are very nice.
    I'm not a fan of the cold either. It's been very hot here, but I'll take it over the snow that will soon be coming.

  5. I’m in the very south of Victoria. The only thing between me and the South Pole is tassie!
    I’d definitely like to be in far North Queensland right now. I don’t know if this winter is colder than usual or I’m now old and feeling it more

    1. We are pretty much the same with only Stewart Island between us and the south pole. And i think its the coldest winter we've had for several years. Although age probably comes into it as well 😄
