    The snow in Australia made the news here yesterday. Meanwhile the south of France is suffering from a heathwave (39C yesterday in the Tour de France). They can keep it! ;)

    We have a sunny 21C today...

    I was exaggerating a bit. Over the years there was some traffic, but you have to go back to 2001 for any real traffic. ;)

    If all four of us keep this up we are going to skew the annual stats for
    this echoarea. Then we can have a party to celebrate. How are things in your part of the world? It's still winter over here :(

    Well, usually we have summertime, between 23øC up to 30øC, but last week we've had something around 38øC. Tonight it's getting worse, stormy strange winds with heavy rain.

    Golly thats hot. Summer here would usually be in the same normal range as
    you. I think only last summer it rose above 33c here. Im wondering if the
    storm you are referring to is related to the one that hit Wilfred?

    ...oh and yes, we will need to find a nice central place to meet, its too far for you to come to me via ferry! ;-)

    Yes, only my rose bush had some broken branches. ;)

    On my way home though, a road was still blocked because it had about 16 big trees that had fallen over and were still in the process of being cleaned up.

    I didn't get this far, but it were some of the trees you see along this road:

    And this barn: https://goo.gl/maps/8ge30

    Had half its roof blown off. It was laying about a hundred meters further in the fields behind it...

    Indeed.

    Exactly... you never can tell these days. How have you been?

    Been here, but not here if you get my meaning.

    It's been to cold to do much outside, and when it's not cold it's raining.

    The other half is outsie atm, doing some garden stuff that's been needed for the past three weeks, and hasn't been able to.

    I can recall recently getting some gentle ribbing over thr
    pronunciation of fush and chups... as for the meat , yep we're sorted
    I have a local "mad buther" that does some good snarlers and steaks.
    mmm starting to get hungry now.

    Only a few months to go and the webber q will be taken out and fired up for the first time this season.

    Say how about an aussie female or two as well? in the spirit of mutual co-operation and all ;-)

    It's a pitty the air fare either way would get in the way! It's not like we can just hop in the car and take a drive down the road!

    Just don't mention the "Cricket or Rugby" and things should go along fine.
